Talk:Xerox 820

message: FYI: The June 1986 issue of QEX has a fair amount of technical information on the Xerox 820-1 and 820-2. Sagsaw 20:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The full name of these computers were Xerox 820-II Information Processor. Base configuration of the II included two single sided, double density, full height 5.25" floppy drives. The system supported double sided drives but upgrading was a simple matter of swapping the drives. The drive cable for the single sided drives did not have a wire for the head select signal.
Fortunately Xerox used a cable made of individual wires in twisted pairs, spiral wrapped in copper foil, inside a heavy plastic cover. It was fairly easy to move one of the ground wires at each connector to the head select position to use double sided drives and avoid buying a new cable.
A dual 8" floppy drive was available, primarily used with the original 820 but also compatable with the 820-II.
An 820 could be upgraded to an 820-II by swapping the circuit boards. Likewise, the 820 boards would fit the 820-II case.
Two keyboards were available, a "low profile" model, more like a typical PC keyboard, and the standard one which was in a rather bulky case which tapered from nearly 2" high at the front to over 3" high at the back, with a large border on top around all sides of the keys.
The printer sold with the 820-II was a Xerox branded Diablo 630 daisy wheel with a 15" wide carriage. Heavy, loud and fast, unless it was commanded to do bold, double-strike, underline, then it was just heavy and even louder.
The 820-II had an internal pin header for a parallel port. Xerox sold a cable to use it, which simply laid between the top of the ports panel and the bottom of the upper case, with a metal strap to help secure it. Since the installation instructions included the wiring diagram, it was easy for a hobbyist to construct his own parallel interface adaptor cable. (I had an Epson LX-800 connected to the parallel port for printing drafts while the Diablo was used for letters.)
There was no graphics option available for these Xerox computers, they were strictly text only.
The final model in the 820 line had a slightly larger monitor with a black facia added and either included as standard or as an option (I forget which) an 8088 CPU for running Microsoft DOS and DOS programs in addition to the standard Z-80A for CP/M.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.136.145.250 (talk) 07:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I was able to acquire an 820-II a short while ago with copies of system reference manuals and other documentation. The different 820 models have been set off into their own sections, and for now I'm expanding the 820-II section to reflect the extra information I have, including eventually with pictures; I'll expand the other models as I find info about them from other sources, as well.

Talk:Split-biquaternion

message: W.K.Clifford wrote the following footnote to justify use of the term biquaternion:
:Hamilton's biquaternion is quaternion with complex coefficients; but it is convenient (as Prof. Pierce remarks) to suppose from the beginning that all scalars may be complex. As the word is no longer wanted in its old meaning, I have made bold to use it in a new one.(footnote pp. 188-9)
Actually the word is wanted in its old meaning.

thread_title: Appropriation of nomenclature

message: The term "Clifford biquaternion" is used for both dual quaternions (see Rooney) and for the split-biquaternion ring. This ambiguity is being divided by the natural inclusion of the descriptor (split or dual) of the coefficient ring in each case.Rgdboer (talk) 01:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Move explained

message: It would also be nice that the article noted somewhere that split-biquaternions arise as the even sub-algebra of 4-dimensional real Clifford algebra, Cl^{+}_{4}(\R). It is the spin group of euclidean 4-D space, so to speak, which is as we know, representable by two ordinary quaternions, one from the left and one from the right. -- 78.54.51.242 (talk) 21:06, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Even Subalgebra

message: In the "Synonyms" section, it says "Clifford biquaternion" was used by Joly (1902) and van der Waerden (1985). But van der Waerden (on p. 188, as cited at the end of the article) just says that Clifford introduced two different types of biquaternions (different from Hamilton's), and later calls them once: Cliffords first and second kind of biquaternions. (This agrees with Rgdboer's comment below, under "Move explained".) Van der Waerden didn't really coin a name and use it afterwards repeatedly. I suggest to remove the reference to van der Waerden. Apart from this minor point, including a "Synonyms" section is very commendable, and I thank the person who did it for the effort and research put into it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herbmuell (talk • contribs) 04:29, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your kind comment. While it is true that van der Waerden did not expand on this algebra, he did make his statement about its origin with Clifford's writing, and this is noteworthy. Thus retention of this important reference to hypercomplex numbers generally serves to support knowledge of the subject of this article, though the eponym is not highlighted.Rgdboer (talk) 21:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Telegraph Hill, San Francisco

message: I noticed that this article doesn't really include anything directly connecting to the Merchants Exchange Building (San Francisco).  I happened to find this article when reading about a reference to this building elsewhere and then looking it up on Wikipedia.  My finding says that the building once received signal relays from George Sweeney and Theodore E. Baugh's electric telegraph wire from stations that were interconnected with that at Telegraph Hill, San Francisco.  These two men were members of the exchange and provided this signaling service to its fellows in the business community who were waiting for arriving ships. This history is significant to that of the building, the City of San Francisco, as well as San Jose and Silicon Valley, as well as California state.  This project began as an intra-San Francisco service; but, another company eventually took the telegraph line to San Jose (first outer station) and Stockton and Sacramento, ultimately to Marysville. By the way, I also made this note at the other page for the Merchants' Exchange Building.
