I just got one of these beautiful beasties, and I found that 
almost all of my old cp/m software from my DEC Robin will run
on it. I run the px-8's own version of kermit,however. I was 
wondering if its vt-100 emulation (if it is vt-100 and not 
vt-52) maps any of its keys onto the vt-100 keypad. (The px-8
has no keypad).

Lindsay Haisley was kind in mentioning me as a source for BDS C, but there
were two inaccuracies that should be corrected.  First, Sage Microsystems
East is my wife's company.  They carry all the products I like, and I am
happy to provide technical support.  In the case of BDS C, I worked with
Leor Zolman to develop the Z-System version of BDS C, with is now included
along with the older CP/M version in the standard BDS C product package.

A more serious error in Lindsay's message was the mirror-imaging of part of
Sage Microsystem's phone number.  I won't repeat the wrong number; the
correct number is 617-965-3552.  The number for the BBS was correct
(965-7259).  The recommendation to call voice late in the evening was also
correct.  The best time to find me at home is between 11 pm and midnight
Eastern time (even that will fail on occasion).  I'm happy to talk about
almost any subject related to CP/M-compatible computing.

Again the UK leads the world in support of dead machines !.

This little machine, although dropped by epson some years ago, is still selling well at computer fairs and boot sales. I still have several hundred, brand new and boxed, that are always in demand.

I also have tech manuals and software for them.

Would be interested in what was available for the PX8/Geneva in the states.

Yep.


Well, the MV will be going to the WA Surplus Agency for disposal. We looked
all over for someone to take this machine in on trade for something newer,
the only way we can recover any value from the transaction.  If it's sold
outright, the money reverts to the State general fund...  None of the
brokers called me back after I sent them the configuration.  After looking
at the latest used equipment sales sheets, I can see why.

An MV/10000 CPU with 8Meg of memory now sells for $750.  The battery 
backup supplies are worth more than the CPU.  I found I could duplicate
the system on the used market for <$8100, for a system that cost over
$350,000 when purchased.

The problem with selling this puppy is the cost of relicensing the 
software - that's more than the cost of the system. So, I guess it 
would only be of interest to someone who wanted to part it out.

What about retaining the cpu boards ? Licenses seem to be coupled to the
CPU only. ( Old licenses never die, they just fade ... )

It involves writing a multitasking kernel for IBM with DOS.
If you can help me getting any litt. related to this it will be of great
help to me and him. He has already read material from Tanenbaum's book on
O.S. which has the complete source code of MINIX (mini UNIX) and one on
The XINU approach.
 
The key thing is that it should all go with DOS.

we used to use an OS called CMOS - it is a simple real time executive

it derived from Mitre's MOS for lsi/11s and vmos nd a variant was

Tentative Publication Date: Early 1994


Due to fundamental physical limitations on processing speeds of sequential
computers, the future-generation high performance computing environment
will eventually rely entirely on exploiting the inherent parallelism in
problems and implementing their solutions on parallel machines.
VLSI technology makes the design of such multiprocessors feasible. We can 
view these processors as individual chips, several chips on a circuit board 
or even individual computers interconnected suitably to form networks.
Thus, interconnection networks and their performance become an
integral part of high performance computing in general and
designing parallel architectures in particular. 


The purpose of this special issue is to focus on the design and analysis 
of all aspects of interconnection networks and VLSI design issues. Specific
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 o  Network Topologies and Algebraic Properties. 
 o  Routing Algorithms. 
 o  Fault Tolerance Issues: Node and Link Failures.
 o  VLSI Chip Design Issues. 
 o  Mapping of Parallel Algorithms.
 o  Embedding Problems: Static and Dynamic.
 o  Reconfiguration Techniques for Fault Tolerant Networks.
 o  Load Balancing Issues. 
 o  Self-Stabilizing Distributed Algorithms on Networks.

>-- Young-kuk Kim

Operating system structure and real time scheduling ought to be
orthogonal issues.  In fact, for example, most versions of Mach
that you'll find in use are not real-time kernels.  For the source
of truth on that, send mail to tokuda@cs.cmu.edu and ask him
what the state of real-time mach is.

The key to real time is in the scheduler, and whether or not
a process is pre-emptable when it is executing inside the
protected operating system kernel.  The latest version of SunOS
(Solaris 2.0), for example, has preemptible kernel threads.
Most versions of UNIX however, do not allow a process to be
interrupted when it is executing inside the kernel (not counting
device interrupts).  Another important consideration is how long
it takes to service device interrupts.  Interrupts and pre-emption
usually have to be blocked when servicing the interrupt.  However
you don't want to do full blown TCP protocol handling at this point.
Instead, you have to structure your system so that a thread is
scheduled to do most of the work, even if it is a kernel thread.
