The problem with Android is there are many options. In fact I think each different keyboard has its own settings and its own autocorrect. You can also set the default keyboard it so it offers...
I didn't know anything until I bought some! I found the VT520 does three sessions and the VT420 does two. I also think some of the DEC DECServers will let you use some of the ports for serial host...
Some of the DEC VT4xx and VT5xx series come with multiple ports as well, and with a session switch....
... also some of the thin client PCs have serial ports.
Indeed, the top of the first board shows +5 and -15v supplies... no +15...
There is lots of info on this board here:-

including manuals. I haven't looked at the manuals but chips like the 27s287 are often...
You might also consider a SCSI2SD board. 50pin connector. Many partitions. Just use a branded SD card.
Sadly a year or two ago I passed om a Multiprise 3000 but realistically I didn't have the space. I do miss real tape drives!
Of course its not Hercules thats restrictive, more like IBM Licences. ...
Iain,
Its actually 230v. They didn't change the voltage at the wall. In most places its still 240v. Typical politicians they changed to tolerance so its now 230V +10%/−6% which is between 216 to...
Why do you say that! IMHO its beautiful card. It was only ever designed to run CMS and it does that perfectly. If its working it lets you run most mainframe applications software on a PC. So whilst...
I suspect that whatever you do the picture will be poor. The resolution of modern TVs is so much higher than anything composite was designed to handle. If you can go to SVGA you stand a chance of...
Oh it is pretty draconian and unless supplied by a network operator such devices are illegal. Even amateur radio here is very restrictive compared to US. So no WinLink for example.
Cellular repeaters seem unobtainium in the UK except for business users. They used to be supplied by some mobile operators but they all seem to have vanished...
Well you should be able to use it as it was designed to work. So run VM/PC and its based on VM/SP3 which gives you REXX and XEDIT. You should also be able to install any of the software on the VM...
In the UK "pay as you go" are usually carrier locked, but cheaper than the unlocked version as you pay via the contract. These days one advantage is that several carriers don't support WiFi calling...
To resolder a clamp is useful. Simplest is a a "U" on its side with a knitting needle and a spring to hold the component in place.....
Hastings only deals with mathematical functions. I don't think there is much magic in floating point mathematics. In order to add and subtract you need to "un-normalize" so that the exponents are the...
Machines like the Atari that have PLCC sockets suffer from other problems. Sockets are not the answer. ChipQuick will let you get SMT off. Caps are fairly easy to replace.
Lots of HackSpaces do...
Hi Juan. I have a house in Spain and spend some time there. I like really old text adventure games.
Its a great idea to add your country to your profile, then when you post folks won't suggest...
They do, but computers generally take an infinite amount of time to evaluate such series. At a basic level you can just keep on adding terms until they make no difference to the result but this is...
never seen one with interchangeable plates...
Even more unlikely IMHO. The current "easy run code" is also ESA only The 360 version only ran on a 360/67. It should be possible to build a pure 370 version but I that needs DAT and I have no idea...
Still missing a bit. It would be nice to see all the instructions. I guess its a standalone Lunar Landing game, but figuring out which could be fun. If we could see all the instructions might be a...
Well despite being called Music/SP the free version is configured for ESA mode so it has no chance of running un-modified on an AT/370. I suspect that the P370 control program which you can download...
I could possibly make one, but I am in the UK. Let me know if you don't get a nearer reply..
