OK, netland, this is comp.sys.dec.micro! Finally!
While the VAXmate is a neat machine, let't not let it swamp this
this newsgroup.
The purpose of this posting is simple. Are there any Rainbow
users out there? Doing anything really useful? Creating anything
particularly interesting for the beast?
Anyone interested in PD programs for the Rainbow posted here?
Graphics, list processors, editors, games, etc?
Anyone interested in keeping abreast with the latest Rainbow news
through two dedicated DEC micro newsletters ("Rainbow News" and
"The DEC MicroLetter")?
Any fanatics?
Anyone care?
Please post and/or e-mail me if you are.
Also, if I get enough votes on the subject, I'll try and keep a
somewhat regular digest of the Rainbow EchoMail conference from
the FIDO network.
Anyone not interested in DEC's micros shouldn't be here to begin
with. All flamers can flame to the MAC's Trash icon, thank you
kindly.
Enjoy,
Alan

Alan: I have a DEC Rainbow 100B with graphics and 896K RAM. I"am currently using this machine to develop my Masters Thesis project. The project is an implementation of the PHIGS standard. Ed Kushall PS: Please respond to this message, a while back mail to RIT was only one way due to a problem with RITs mail parser, I hope that has been fixed.

I have a Rainbow. Anyone know where I can get a math co-processor cheap and/or the NEC chip which is rumored to improve performance? Does any *good public domain backup program exist for the rainbow? _____________________________________________________________________________ | Bill Davis - UCLA Computer Science Department | | ARPA: davis@CS.UCLA.EDU | | UUCP: (ucbvax,ihnp4)!ucla-cs!davis | | MAIL: 3531 Boelter Hall, Los Angeles, California 90024-1596 | | | | ||.|..||...||.....|.|.|..|.|.|.| | |___________________________________________________________________________|
