Hello!

Anyone has electrical Datasheet/diagram of this motherboard or anyone similiar
440BX/ZX Baby AT motherboard?

Thank You in advance for any help
 
strewth!
I thought for a moment one of Paul's famous character based illustrations
was going to come down the chute.

Give me a moment <sounds of furious typing>...
 
Now I know who you are!!!!
Your the bloke that:
a) wrote the program to print out nudes on high speed line printers for
mainframes using only upper case characters in the late 70's &
b) wrote the program to play jazz on the console speaker of the ASR33 master
operating consoles on ICL1903A computers (really ancient ~ 1970), AND
c) wrote the idle code for DEC PDP11/70's (running RSTS/E v6.03c) that spun
the lights around

Possibly also responsible for the invention of Paper Tape?

right?

:)

I still have one of those, somewhere. She was called "Miss
Westinghouse", even though we used to print her out on
a 360/50. I don't think I have source anymore...

Wrote tunes on an HP 21MX and picked up the tunes via light output
from the address LEDs. Program was hand assembled and entered via
toggle switches on the front console. The computer was so crude, it
had a bootstrap of only 64 bytes of code (and now we have 256K
or 512KB BIOS flash chips). The reason for this was, we didn't have
any tools for the computer, so hand assembly was the only way to
get the job done.

Many other computers did their music generation via pickup over an
AM radio. There was a mainframe programmer who used to write
tunes for playback over AM radio (just hold up the radio
next to the computer room window, to listen to the tune).
That guy was ahead of his time, because he used to do animations
on the mainframe console display as well. He was also head of the
computer center (which means he doesn't have to hide the screen
when the boss shows up).

Sadly, never got to play with PDP11's.

Only used paper tape on the 21MX (20 minutes load time, for
a program that does the equivalent of memtest86). I think the
minicomputer ran somewhere around 8MHz or so and cost $18K. The real
reason for hacking some tunes - all I had was a teletype with paper
tape reader, as an interface to that computer, and that really
sucks.

Teletypes were so unpopular in university, that some bright
students actually managed to push the shift keys right through the
console, a testiment to student spirit. I met the Teletype repair
man, and he was real impressed with the effort. There is nothing
like waiting for output at 110 baud, when an assignment is due
tomorrow.

I think we're just a little spoiled now :-) I've gone from
110 baud to 300KB/sec downloads. Slowest processor I've ever
used is 250KHz and currently using 2.8GHz.

Thats a nice bit of history.
