Chris, I would be interested in getting a copy of the SSPS/X software for POS. I have a manual for SPSS/11 and would love to try to get the software running under RSX11M+ if possible. Thanks, Mark > On Jul 26, 2023, at 12:00 PM, cctalk-requ...@classiccmp.org wrote: > > From: Chris Zach mai

Steve, What is it? Do you expect it to work when you get it? Is the seller giving you any guarantees? On Wed, Jul 26, 2023 at 2:48 PM Steven Stengel via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > I want to buy an old computer from a guy I don’t know in Houston (I’ll pay > shipping to CA), but it’

Hm. I never thought of running it on RSX11M+. I think it used the Pro's video for graphs and could do amazing bitmaps on the LA50, but I'll bet it just uses VT125/131 codes to talk to the display as opposed to accessing the Pro's bitmap registers. I'll see if I can read it in now. On 7/26/202
