I have some various Cromemco hw, sw, and docs in a family warehouse, I
am just trying to decide what sort of projects to attempt with it.
Glad to have found this group!

I think there is a Z2, System3, an HDD, two or three C-10s, and
several Beehive and Soroc terminals.

Cheers,
John Clonts

P.S. I am trying to download the C-10 technical manual from
http://maben.homeip.net/static/S100/cromemco/systems/Cromemco%20C-10%20Technical%20Reference%20023-4058%20198310.pdf

but it is 70+MB and only coming at 1-15 KB/sec. Does anyone else have
that pdf and could post on another server somewhere for me?

Thanks!
John

Hi John, and welcome to the group!

We're usually a quiet bunch, but we do come out of the woodwork when needed
;-)

Yes, Marcus' (maben) site has a lot of great stuff, but it can be
agonizingly slow (must be the Swiss laid-back lifestyle ;-); there was talk
of establishing a mirror somewhere but nobody's stepped forward so far...

Sorry, I can't help you with a pdf of the C-10 tech manual; maybe someone
else can. I have several printed copies but mailing that would take even
longer and cost money; BTW, I also have several sets of the spiral-bound
C-10 User/BASIC/WordMaster etc. manuals, scheduled for the dumpster since no
one showed any interest when I offered them previously.

Anyway, welcome again, have fun (and share it), and let us know if we can
help.

mike

Thanks!
John

John,

After what I would regard as an uncharacteristic accident I find myself recuperating at home.  So I can afford to temporarily turn up the Webserver upload limiter to give you a better chance.   It goes without saying that you should use a download aggregator.  I use Free Download Manager Lite myself  here -> http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm

If this does not work I will have to figure out which rude people are trying to en mass download the entire website.  This keeps happening and is of course the selfishness of the few ....

Let me know your results

Ouch!  You should give a little warning before those pictures!

Marcus,
I have a password system on my site for downloads.  a simple signup form that seems to work pretty well.  vintagecomputer.net, etc.

Wow, uncharacteristic indeed we hope!!

I am familiar with torrents but not "download aggregation", I will check it out...

Thanks,
John
