I finally managed to pick up a logic analyser for a price I could justify.
It is a HP1630G and it comes with a number of pods. However the pods do

Actually, now that you come to mention it, so am I. I had -- have -- a

The thing I like about the minis, I guess, is that I

The second tape is a 3M brand with DDS markings and 4 bars next to the

Hi,
This might only be of interest to people in the Pacific North West.
We are starting a new retro-computer club in Chilliwack, BC. Both Rob C, and
myself have a pretty good collection
of 'classic' computers and rather than having them sit in a basement collecting
dust, we thought we'd bring
I have a pair of 4mm DDS tapes from 1999 that I would like to recover.
I was able to read one with tar on a Debian (jessie) Linux system, but

The tape that I could read is a Sony with DDS markings and 4 bars next
to the DDS logo. It was written on an SGI computer.

The original 68000 *was*. Although there were instructions for 32 bit ALU
operations, it only had a 16 bit ALU and the operands had to go through the ALU
twice. This
