               Thank you very much for the info about the the HP conferences.
 Maybe we can have one in Atlanta again. I have not had access to the HP confer
ences on BITNET before last summer so my view of things is stilted from my lack
 of information about the subject.
               I am  almost a graduate student here at UTC,and even after
 having my 48 for a year,still a neophyte. However Eric Lane in the physics
 department has done much work with his 48. He has written numerous programs
for the Apple II/+/C,etc.Physics Software on waves,random motion of particles
etc. I think has also done work on the IBM also. I know he has also done
programs for the 48 too. I know that some of the professors here in Engineering
requireHHP42's for the introductory courses in Numerical Methhods for
Engineers. I do not know how many profs use HP 41/42/28s/hp48 in there everyday
work.
            Maybe it is time to see if we could form a University or local
 users group.

  It's been done.  Seiko had such a watch in the middle 80's.  It connected to your computer's RS-232 port, or data could be entered by from a Hershey bar
sized keyboard.  I think the signal was coupled inductively.  I saw one at
an amateur radio swap meet a few months back for $85 (no keyboard, only the
RS-232 hookup).  I think it also reappeared under the rubric "Wrist Mac"
a couple of years ago...same watch with some hokey MAC front end program to
justify the name.

 I have a few questions, some documentation and no idea

  I am looking for any information on the following:
The ELTEC company (German) and its product
the Eurocomm II pc.  It is based on the 6809 cpu.

The operating system is Flex ??

I have 2 8" disks with a screen editor and disassembler
/debugger.  Also looking for any info on the Lloyd I/O
company makers of a Flex assembler and a cross assembler.

Any information on the Frank Hogg Laboratory product
Super Sleuth that ran under Flex would also be
appreciated.  What I am trying to do is to write
code that would runu on a IBM PC that would emulate 
running on this Eurocomm II.  I realize this is real vague
and rambling, and I'm not even sure I'm in the right conference
Is there any code out there that would allow an IBM PC
to read 5 1/4 floppys written under Flex on the 6809?

There are plenty of HC11 users out here... but I don't think 
there is a newsgroup for it.

I use both the 68HC711E9 and the 68HC705C8 rather
extensively, but not in school. (they prefer 68000 based
machines). I have been doing a few small projects (from
interfacing printers to measurement 'probes' for
various people... 

The printer interface got an HC05, the probe gets an HC11.

Hi,

	Sorry to be a neophyte intruder here but I have a question from a friend
for this group. He had a CoCo, but now has a PC clone and would like to have an
editor with the same features/functions/keystrokes as VIP Writer. Does something
like this exist, or perhaps a package for emacs or another editor?

	I don't want to start a flame war here so if this concept annoys you
please ignore me. However, if you or anyone you know of has been in a similar
situation I (he) would appreciate your advice.

We use 68HC11s in alot of applications, mostly intelligent subsystems
for our underwater robots.  I think a 68HC11 news group would be great,

                    Rochester, New York


Rochester Institute of Technology is happy to announce the arrival
of the PACT parallel C compiler.  We are working to incorporate the
use of this parallel C compiler into the hands-on portion of 
our May "OCCAM AND TRANSPUTER ENGINEERING COURSE".  Our current 
intention is to include C examples as exercises on the last day
of the course.

In addition, CSA has promised delivery of one of their Education Kits
for your examination during the course.  This kit contains a single 
transputer board and a startup version of the INMOS toolset for use 
in an IBM PC.  We will be giving this kit away via a drawing at the 
end of the course.  

Literature and demonstations from other vendors will also be available.

The deadline for course registration is April 15.  If you need furthur
information concerning the course or if I can answer any further 
questions, please feel free to call me or send me e-mail.

	There is a system called ACK, the Amsterdam Compiler Kit. It is a
large toolkit for developing compilers for new languages, or porting compilers
for existing languages onto a new architecture. It has a number of different
front and backends, Occam1 being one of the former, and several flavours of
Unix for the latter. For further details, contact

Would anyone from inmos care to comment on this number?
It seems rather high to me - I would be very interested
if anyone could give a breakdown of this SPECmark into
its component parts. Has inmos released any predicted
performance figures for the T9000 (no, I won't ask for
a predicted shipping date - we need more than a geometric
mean to calculate that one ;-)

Good day!

I am interested in references to articles or on-going work (or whatever)
which touch upon the implementation of a buffered asynchronous communication
layer with use of synchronous primitives.

In particular, I am interested in the implementation of such an asynchronous
layer on a transputer network. I don't want to use the CSN primitives of 
CSTools, which provides asynchronous communication primitives, because the
communication setup time is much to large for the small messages I have to 
send.

Summary: I like to receive any response or critique considering the 
	 asynchronous communication layer.


Thanks in advance,

  Benno

Does anyone know how to generate bogus Ack packets to reset the other
end of a link?

I have the following situation:
	T805 <-----> C011
          input   output

If there is a disturbance while data is output (to C011) then the T805
will not see an Ack. After a timeout (software) the channel can be reset
and all is fine.

If there is a disturbance while data is input (from C011) then the
T805 will not see the data, and the C011 will not see an Ack.  This
leaves the C011 in a state of limbo until hardware reset or it
recieves an Ack.  I can detect this situation in software from the
T805 as additional logic on the C011 side will prevent further data
outputed to it being processed.

The problem is how do I reset this situation? Calling ChanReset
(in C) on both input and output parts of the link doesn't work. As far
as I can tell the transputer link reset instruction only generates an
Ack if the input link knows that a byte has been recieved but not
acknowledged. 

If I can't generate a bogus Ack I will have to put timeout hardware on
the C011 side. This is most undesriable as the T805 knows what the
situation is an could reset the protocol from its end.

Is there a way of reseting the link protocol from one end? or does it
need both ends (even a dumb C011) to do it. Any solutions, however
lowlevel would be of great interest.
