There's a smallish collection of Rainbow files maintained on DRYCAS.CLUB.CC.CMU.EDU. It's accessible via anonymous FTP and email. If you try the former, switch over to INFO-DEC-MICRO once you connect and grab the files AAAFILES.TXT and AAREADME.1ST. Note, however, that there's nothing for CP/M there. It may also be possible to find someone willing to email you a program or two from Fidonet. I've been manually gatewaying this newsgroup for over a year so they'll see anything you post to comp.sys.dec.micro (or INFO-DEC-MICRO for that matter). So ask away - folks are pretty generous around here. > were all the memory cards basically the > same, just with different chips, or were they fundamentally > different? I'm not much of a hardware person, but I believe there were two types of memory cards manufactured by DEC - one for Rainbow 100As, the other for 100Bs. Other than that, the only difference in cards would be in the capacity of the memory chips used (64 or 256K).
