Is there a switch or anything he can do to see the cursor ? Any input will be welcome.

As you can see I was really into it, attended Rainbowfest Princeton several times and used to do some programming. I hate to see this stuff slowly deteriorating in the basement so it's all for sale. I have no idea what things are going for these days, but some of the items are probably hard to find. I'll entertain offers for the whole bunch at first (I'll deliver 200 miles from Connecticut, otherwise figure you pay shipping.) If there is no interest in the whole lot I'll break it up. Best bet is to call my BBS at (203) 753-8351 and leave a message to SYSOP or call me voice (203) 754-6723, ask for dave.

Mike and I (and Pete used to) work for a company which makes a system designed to play Bingo, Poker, Pulltabs, Keno, Slots, and other casino gambling games on video player terminals. Basically, it's comprised of: 1. VME host computer (68040 with 4-8 MB RAM, 2MB battery-backed RAM [enough room for about 10,000 accounts], several intelligent 68000-based I/O cards to talk to the terminals, etc). 2. Normal text terminals with cash drawers and printers as cashier stations. 3 The player terminals themselves... currently 68000-based with a TI 34010 graphics processor, lots of I/O, and a VGA monitor with touchscreen. There can be anywhere from a dozen to hundreds of these connected to the host. You buy credits from the cashiers, then log onto the player terminal and play the game(s) of your choice via the touchscreen. The host runs OS-9; future versions may have dual cpus, one running OS-9, the other Unix. The player terminals may also use OS-9 before long. best - Kevin There is 1 Reply. #: 19891 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 11-Apr-94 19:24:42 Sb: #19889-#Lost Souls Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 To: Kevin Darling 76703,4227 Oh, I didn't know that Pete was is the "used to" catagory. Any idea what he is up to now? Speaking of your gaming machines...did anyone read the article in the CIS magazine about CD-i? Interesting that they never mentioned the OS it uses. Maybe they didn't want to upset Bill Gates?

We've implemented the new OSF DCE architecture (actually, a variation on it using the Andrew filesystem vice DFS), and have hundreds (soon to be over 7000) of Sun Classics & SparcServer 010's connected via LAN, MAN, and WAN gear) using everything from 56K lines to T3 trunks. Applications are all Motif based, and serve primarily as market watching and mainframe connectivity tools for the present. Other than that, I'm pretty much twiddling my thumbs (grin)... #: 19888 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 09-Apr-94 23:56:14 Sb: #19886-#Lost Souls Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 To: Kevin Darling 76703,4227 (X) Gee, Kevin, are you recruiting all the old folks from this forum to work with you....the only problem is that once they start at your place they disappear from here! Guess that's what happens when you start to work for money.

Our sales are taking off. We have installations in major halls in Canada and Milwaukee, and will be installing two more major sites within weeks both in the northeast (at one of the largest casinos in the world) and in the midwest. Installation on cruise ships is a definite possibility as well. This all means we'll need more people to make up multiple installation and site customization teams. If our next generation player terminals use OS-9, then we'll need OS-9/gfx types as well! cheers - kev Press !> The OS-9 Forum+ Read Menu Read 1 [NEW] messages 2 Message NUMBER 3 WAITING messages for you (0) Search [new] messages 4 FROM (Sender) 5 SUBJECT 6 TO (Recipient) Enter choice !>
