Oddly enough it really doesn't matter how you created the code, or what system you used to compile it on. If the interest exists in the community, and the source code is released, someone will convert it to what is available. -Chuck Harris Greg Dowd wrote: Since I either owned or created all

I will say that indeed it can be tough to compile things without the hardware that used to exist. OS9. A heck of a OS and darned if Radio Shack did not use it on the color computer as I recall. It actually was ahead of its time compared to dos and the likes. So as crazy as this sounds I might

I hear that qemu will run OS-9, and there are also 6809 emulators out there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_9 has more information. But I suspect y'all already know this. H ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

[time-nuts] Frequency referenced temperature regulator

List, Looking for a stable temperature sensor I first went to YSI. They have sold their sensor products to. Measurement Specialties, Inc. Perusing their site I came upon a Ni1000 SOT temperature sensor. It is a nickel based unit that has a basic resistance of 1K ohms at 20 degrees C and

Nickel sensors are more stable than thermistors, but not as stable as platinum. The cost is more attractive than Pt, tho. I'd consider staying analog with a DC bridge and a PID control op-amp. You don't need a highly accurate voltage source for the bridge because null is null, whatever the
