    05/16/13
    As we all know, most of the products today are produced in a cost efficient way.
    Because of this, vendors always looking for a chance to produce things cheaper.
    But because this happens, also quality goes synchronously down.
    
    This happened to Linksys Router (think about forced ci

    05/05/13
    As described in http://www.z80.eu/blog/index.php?entry= , I got an Apple IIe Card for my LC aka Color Classic.
    But this leads into a chicken and egg problem.
    I've read at http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/app and in the section after it how to go on with these images.

    Looking at the wonderful bootscreen of a DEC PWS 433 during BIOS boot phase, I had the idea to preserve this image. Looking around for the image file, I wasn't successful.
    So I made a picture with my Nikon and cropped & scaled for Win7 Boot Updater, see

    03/19/13
    After my short intermezzo with a Mac SE/30, I tried my luck with a Macintosh Colour Classic.
    This machine, untruly called the ugly duck of all all-in-one Macs, has a real cute Trinitron color display CRT, and in contrast to a Macintosh Plus or a Macintosh SE, has also a LC PDS slot for some rea

  - Virtual Floppy Drive with Windows 7 ? Really bad, it's difficult to manage.
    02/10/13
    I've needed to test floppy disk tools with my modern i7 equipped PC.
    Unfortunately I have no real floppy drive built in.
    So I "googled" for it, and I found one, which runs supposedly smooth with Windows 7 64bit.

    02/08/13
    I realized that I didn't made anything meaningful with my Apple ][ Europlus, so I decided to exchange it for another vintage computer - an older Macintosh.
    My first choice was a Mac SE/30, because this one can handle up to 128MB RAM, and it's capable to run A/UX. But....

    An underestimated beauty, the Commodore Plus 4 (aka 264), was resurrected in two steps:

    I am always looking to complete my cartridge collection for my C64.

  - Apple I auction ended with fantastic price... selled for ~half a million EURO
    12/10/12
    Almost unbelievable, what some are willed to pay.
    An Apple I was auctioned for a price others would buy a house instead.
    Original Apple I are very rare, also because only about two hundred devices were selled in 1976. A similarity to the later Apple II is easy to recognize, but only in ter

    Indeed I didn't think about it yet. But it is not too difficult.
    Getting an image from Asimov's site at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/
    Reading all infos at http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/
    Transferring the image back to a real Apple ][.
    Have fun.

  - Another rare CP/M portable from Televideo...
    09/19/08
    Had time to search for several topics, and suddenly I found a hint about a not so well known CP/M 2.2 portable computer (less famous):
    
    A Televideo TPC-I, not really portable (with a similar weight as the Osborne 1) but still an "all-in-one" CP/M machine.

    Still dreaming of a Otrona Attache portable CP/M computer, it's very handy (for 1982) and despite of this is still a full featured machine.

    Many of you already know that there is a gold mine for old (often scanned) documents at www.bitsavers.org , users and service manuals and other technical documents as well.
    If not, try it (see reated link below), it's amazing what can be found there !!!

    07/29/08
    I was really happy getting back from holidays and finding a big package in my house corridor - a Philips P2012 equipped with a CoPower 8088 card, which make it possible to run not only Z80 based CP/M 2.2 but also MS-DOS 2.11 on the coprocessor card (THANKS TO

    Following the discussions about a possible implementation in comp.os.cpm, I asked myself for what reason would this a goal ?
    On http://www.cpm.z80.de/randyfiles/DRI/cpm-tcp.zip an early try is ready for download, but it's made for a Xerox 820, nowadays a real rare computer.

    There is already a second mirror ... at http://z80cpu.eu/mirrors/klaw/
    
    Somebody named "Katzy" wrote this in comp.os.cpm, thanks.
    
    So at the moment there is no need for an additional mirror, I guess.

    At the moment http://www.nostalgia8.nl/mirrors/cpm86/ is a mirror from the old seanet/~klaw CP/M-86 site, and that's good. Unfortunately I have seen many web pages already gone into the black hole of the internet, and using www.archive.org is not always the solution, because very often the bina
  - Have decided to use a blog also...
    07/14/08
    Yes, I always was a bit displeased about blogs. But I guess it's one form to get a feedback, and in the other hand also to drop some infos or ideas without using again and again a web editor or a content management system. So I will use it until it will get me stressed ;-)
