    Can someone tell me what this external Tandy HDD goes to? I honestly dont remember.

    the link you posted is for a 15 meg pic in this thread is 20 meg. both use exact same controller (or let say CAN use same controller). some will say no that 15 meg has a controller 3 times the size. Yes 1st controller was much larger PCB that came with original 5/15 meg. But in time they...

    Why did DOS/86 overtake CP/M-z80 ?

    i worked on a DEC PDP 11/45 in 1983 that had a huge collection of character based porn. It was inredible how detailed and real it could look just made up by characters...someone spent a lot of time. There was a Santa with sled and raindeer and when printed on line printer it must have been 6-8...

    IBM ESDI Hard Drive Replacement

    There are lots of internet articles explaining how IBM BIOS was reverse engineered which broke back of IBM keeping others from building clones. Once this reverse engineering was done and most importantly, upheld by courts, IBMs hold was over. Hardware was nothing special and in fact not as good...

    Why did DOS/86 overtake CP/M-z80 ?

    No its not a toy. In 1981-82 at NAS Kingsville, Fred Haass used a model 1 to help assemble siimulation programs. We read most of program in using punch cards (100% assembler). These sims used two Sigma 5 CPUs connected via common memory. We assembled from punch cards and wrote object out to...

    Why did DOS/86 overtake CP/M-z80 ?

    I agree model 1 was a toy. my 1st wife yelled at me endlessly while using a model 1.........he is playing with his computer again. That had to have happened at least a million times and she was a pretty smart girl, so it must have been a toy.

    Why did DOS/86 overtake CP/M-z80 ?

    TRSDOS was destroying everything. No OS could compete with TRSDOS. A rumor TRSDOS was being developed to run on IBM mainframes pushed IBM to enter PC market. Radio Shack refused to license TRSDOS to IBM thus development of MSDOS. After years of corporate wars between Radio Shack and IBM...

    IBM ESDI Hard Drive Replacement

    IPL is standard term used in modern data centers today. Seldom does someone in a data center say "BOOT". Just like we dont have disk drives in a data center, they are DASD. This is mainly due to most all large scale data centers are dominated by IBM.
