My first computer in 1978 was a Heathkit H8, and upgraded to a floppy disk
drive,  H19 terminal, and the OS to CPM.

My next computer in 1983 was a H151 (XT clone) running MS-DOS 1.75, 64K
RAM, 4.7 MHz clock, dual floppy, CGA and Hercules Mono video, a 20MB MFM
harddisk, and 2 serial and 1 parallel ports. All of it was thru-hole
soldered, and the floppy controller handled 4 drives - the first harddisk
was not C:, but E:. Upgrades included a 2MB AST RAM card with 8080
coprocessor so I could still run CPM - at the same time as MS-DOS 2.1 with
a lot of Unix utilities (Heathkit's Developer's Toolkit), 2 3.5" floppies,
a 30MB RLL harddisk (that made 4 floppies and 2 harddisks on an XT clone!),
RTC, sound card with dual game ports, a Z80 chip and 8MHz replacement chips
(overclocked the 8088), and a thick-wire Ethernet port.

I also enjoyed many other Heathkit kits, like hi-fi stereo preamps and
amps, their matching WWV clock and thermometer, instruments like function
generators, frequency counters, TV colorburst and vectorscope, frame store
synchronizer with video titler, a Ham transceiver capable of RTTY decoding
(as in news wire services and NOAA airport weather feeds), a phone patch,
and a separate true phone hybrid.

Subject: [TriEmbed] Nano VNA Sized 50 MHz, $99 Mini Scope with UART,
 I2C and SPI Modes
Message-ID: <001501dbb084$14bf13c0$3e3d3b40$@mindspring.com>

Guys,
No commercial interest.  Ran across this little O'Scope, its packaged just like
Nano VNA etc.- cigarette pack sized.  They've made a fancy model (200 MHz- 16
Mpts) for a while but it was too pricey for my use at $200.  They just released
an identical looking version but 50 MHz- 2Mpts at $99.  The display is 4.3 inch
which is actually bigger than the a lot of the Big DVM looking scopes like Owon,
etc.  I love the idea of having the serial protocol stuff built in.  Also has a
semi competent audio + signal generator (100 KHz).  There are some reviews of
both the $200 version and this newer version on You Tube- Kerry Wong.  The user
interface is well done.  Kerry does a tear down of the big brother version- big
FPGA plus ARM7.

Free China post type shipping- 3 weeks.  Paypal only.

I happy to say there is one still open in Woodstock, VA. Just of I-81 south
exit 283.

I video call a friend he was amazed that it was an old a RadioShack from
the past.

Subject: [TriEmbed] Windows NT 3.51 Experience- bringing an old CNC Machine
 back to life.
Message-ID: <000201dbb71a$d7060410$85120c30$@mindspring.com>

I have a CNC machine that I haven't run in several years.  I finally have worked
my way down to it in my retirement years.  The machine is in nice shape and is
capable of really nice work but I'm afraid to start it without some help backing
it up.  Mainly, I'd like to back up the main drive for the system software.  I'd
then like to bring it up and get it running.  I was going to toss all the old
controller stuff but in looking around, it's really better than anything out
there like Mach3 or Mach4.  It uses real servos and doesn't send step and
direction to the servos.  Rapids can exceed 400 inches per minute- pretty zippy.
.  It's all servo based with 100 micron type resolution on all axes and a
brushless 10,000 RPM spindle and a tool changer.

The controller is a Vickers (now Siemens) Automation Acramatic A2100 Control.
This is circa 2000 and is a really nice control- modern versions still sell. The
processor has two 486's, one for the user interface which is Win NT3.51 and a
second that runs some Siemens real time stuff out of ROM's- embedded.  Its all
servo based with 100 micron type resolution on all axis and a brushless 10,000
RPM spindle.

If you have some experience with old NT and can help in any way, let me know.
I'm willing to pay a fair rate for your help and time and could really use the
help.

Thanks in advance.

John M. Wettroth
