Fred, The information is greatly appreciated. I forgot about TRS-DOS. I was sure about the CP/M. GOD Bless and Thanks, rich! On 7/29/2020 12:18 AM, Fred Cisin via cctalk wrote: The model 12 was a replacement for the Model 2. The 12 is smaller and lighter. Half-height drives, keyboard

The model 12 was a replacement for the Model 2. The 12 is smaller and lighter. Half-height drives, keyboard and video connected to a board in a slot. Expansion chassis was available. It could run Model 2 TRS-DOS. OR It could run CP/M (if you can find the right boot disk!) I don't know

Greetings. It has been an interesting day. Rather late in the day, a buddy notified me of a local thrift store that went under, and mentioned there may be some computers on site up for grabs. Upon arrival, the place was a mess, but the folks there were friendly and gave me the tour, everything had

Re: OpenVMS Community License

This leaves those of us using VAX emulation high and dry, still. HP was unwilling to let VSE offer VAX licenses. Are there any good free/cheap Alpha emulations that are at least as functional as SIMH is for VAX stuff? That may be the way forward, at least until the x86 version ships. Do any of

I am not the most patient person. :-) While waiting for my Altair-Duino to arrive in the mail I discovered a cool JavaScript based implementation. It allows me to start playing with the Altair 8800 front panel and exercise the "machine". It does a fairly decent job. https://s2js.com/altair/

Re: Altair 8800 reproduction

I thought about it long and hard. A fully configured Altair 8800c would be at least $1200 plus shipping to Australia from all the different component suppliers at least another $600. I would end up with a "real" system but some parts wouldn't quite be real. For example the floppy drives are
