I am not sure I'd call it arbitrary, I assume they picked it to match the 9 number keys on the keyboard, so that every item is just one keystroke...

My2Cents on FleaBay... I hate "RARE" , "SUPER RARE", "Collectable", "Hard to Find" and there are 20 of that same item in the listing. ...

Sure. I have SIMH PDP11 running on an Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz with a total of 4GB of memory. Runs fine.

MOBOs with ESS1*88 are a better choice IMO. Not sure if any notebook/laptop MOBOs ever came equipped with that chipset.

The MF-100 doesn't work at all, so I ordered an AST SixPakPlus RAM RTC Serial card, some shock mounts and a ground strap for the case (so I can mount...

Personally I prefer eBay to Facebook Marketplace / Bonanza / Craigslist because there is less hassle. The downside are the fees. Plus the search...

Now he tells us. I don't hate mine. I just wish I wasn't required to perform some sort of surgical procedure to get my front fan whizzing. This is...

What does 640x200 SHR look like? Many scalers have a problem with it since it has a higher dot clock than most 15khz sources. It took be awhile, but...

WSS (Windows Sound System) is exactly what it states. It only works in Windows, and in a DOS shell while running Windows. It does this through...

That's odd, but it's a general rule that if you move an MFM or RLL drive to another computer, you move the controller card with it. Or, you re-...

https://www.youtube.com/TheOldskoolPC Apologies for the self-promotion.

While 9 is an arbitrary limit that probably didn't need to be a limit, I have to ask why you feel you need more than 9 entries. It's ok to load more...

It uses Turbo Vision. Borland Pascal compiler need to see the directory where Turbo Vision Units are located, then compilation will complete...

The modems in my mux box are 300/600 baud. Yes, 600...

I'd call it "custom"

The FBM-01 is a dreadful case. Cheap and it looks the part. Fit and finish is a mere suggestion. You are lucky if it arrived with the front cover...

I've never seen one with a common pin in the center for a bussed resistor network, but I've only been using them for 10-15 years.

Thanks but I have bought a system with a terminal. Will SIMH run on an Atom processor system running Linux?

Part of me wonders if they would be something that one could come up with pretty easily too. I am pretty decent at laying out a circuit board. Is...

Super - I'll be on the lookout for either of them!

FWIW, I've also ordered quite a bit from Albany County Fasteners. They have an online store.

Aside from the obvious differences, they seem to behave identically. They each provide 4 MB of memory as far as my 386/20e is concerned.

Yep. That's one nice thing about having the schematics, it might reveal whether there'd be any reasonable possibility of adapting some of the...
