Re: WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800
I have a few Intellec MDS Series II development systems. They can host an ICE-85. I’d sell you one. They are VERY heavy. I’m in Michigan.

Re: WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800
and here are detailed pics of the Shugart jumpers https://www.vintagecomputer.net/intel/MDS-720/ Maybe you could try a set of drives set to be 720's and see if that gets you going.

Re: WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800
Here is an MDS-720. Note the drives inside are Shugart 800 seriers. I would think the 800's would be Shugart-compatible if not actually Shugart drives inside. https://www.vintagecomputer.net/intel/MDS-720/Intel_MDS-720_D1-SN.jpg On Tue, Oct 12, 2021 at 4:11 PM Jonathan Chapman via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > All, > > I recently picked up an ICE-85 in-circuit emulator from Jack Rubin (thanks > Ian and Connor for ferrying it back!).

WTB/WTT: Intel MDS-800
All, I recently picked up an ICE-85 in-circuit emulator from Jack Rubin (thanks Ian and Connor for ferrying it back!). I thought that the stuff it came with included a Prompt-80 as a controller, but it does not: there's an unrelated Prompt-48 board in the boxes. The ICE-85 came with ISIS control software on 8" diskette. So I guess I'm in the market for an Intel MDS-800. Good luck, right? :P Thanks, Jonathan

Since you asked, sure ... why not? Started with tech professionally around 26 years ago, was always fascinated by it. Started out when DOS and Novell were all the rage. Worked for a local MSP that mostly serviced banks. Bounced here and there and was exposed to all sorts of stuff. Printers, IBM Mainframes running VSE and I think CICS (it was a long time ago), wireless, networks, and whole host of things in between. Gained a lot of VMS experience (other than just being a user) by working for a local financial institution. Had a rather good relationship with the data processor and that's how I ended up getting my first Alphaserver and VAX. Went back to the MSP life for awhile, owners retired, new company that bought them, no way else to put it - sucked. Worked for a local manufacturing company for the past 5 years, thought I'd retire from there, but due to a bad combination of their (lack of) response to covid and continually resisting getting off a 15 year old (5 years out of support) ERP system, it was time to go. Time is worth more than money. Work part time now for a local non-profit as the tech guy. I have more time on my hands now for home tech projects. Some days I work from home, which is nice. I've got an iSeries, an Apple //e, and a Commodore 64 that are all begging to be worked on and resurrected. ... and other stuff too. Ooops. This is probably not as short as you wanted. Fred
