[cctalk] Dysan 208-21 alignment disk - what is it for?

Hi there, Does anyone have the spec sheet for the Dysan 208-21 alignment disk, or know what drive it's intended to be used with? I've got the information sheet which comes with the disk, but it doesn't identify the tracks-per-inch or track count. It's a 5.25in double-sided disk; the info

WTD - Oregon/Taumetric M68000 Pascal and Cross Assembler (VAX/VMS)

Hi all, Does anyone happen to have a copy of these squirrelled away? - Oregon Pascal M68000 -- cross compiler for VAX (or any other host platform). Probably called "P68.EXE" or something similar. - Oregon / Taumetric M68000 Cross Assembler for VAX (or any other). Probably called

Setting up a VMS system

Hopefully a few of the DEC/VMS fans here might be able to help! I'm on a bit of a quest. I've been given some old VAX/VMS software -- a cross compiler and some source code -- that I'd like to get running. My goal is to get the source code building and experiment with the compiler a bit.

Looking for Maxtor LXT/MXT series firmware updates / docs

Hi folks, Has anyone happened to squirrel away a copy of the Maxtor/Sequel LXT or MXT series documentation or firmware updates? I've got an LXT200A sat on the bench which seems to have corrupted on-disk firmware -- the firmware version is shown as "1.02BROM" I've got an identical second

Oregon Pascal for M68000

Hi all, Does anyone have any documentation (or perhaps even a copy?) of Oregon Pascal for the Motorola 68000? I'm looking for information on its calling convention, if such is available -- or otherwise a way to run it with arbitrary code and see how it behaves. Once again I'm

WTD - Jupiter Ace plastic rivets

Has anyone got a couple of the white plastic rivets which are used to hold the Jupiter Ace case together? They consist of a 4-point clawed rivet of about 5mm long, and a pin which pushes down the centre to open it out. I need five of them ideally - but even two or three would get the case

Kodak Diconix 150plus - looking for info

Hi folks, I just picked up a Kodak Diconix 150 Plus portable inkjet printer. No power supply or documentation, but it works fine. It appears to be a variant of HP's Thinkjet (it certainly uses the same cartridges) tweaked for portable use. Looking inside, it's full of Chinon ICs, and was
