Interesting to see that Rockwell made 6502's until at least 2003...

And it looks like one of the Rockwell 65c22's had a 2007 date code.

I'm sure someone will want those 6532's. Those are rare.

Of course, Atari 2600 systems aren't rare at all, and each of them has a 6532 in it

My http://retro.hansotten.nl site, dedicated to nostalgic small computer systems, has had a workover, Wordpress based, responsive etc.

The site seems to have disappeared? DNS doesn't know about it anymore:
$ host retro.hansotten.nl 8.8.4.4
Using domain server:
Name: 8.8.4.4

Host retro.hansotten.nl not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I think we've been here before. It's an oddity:
$ host retro.hansotten.nl 4.2.2.2
Using domain server:
Name: 4.2.2.2
Address: 4.2.2.2#53
Aliases:

retro.hansotten.nl has address 188.93.150.44

Ah, yes, we have seen that before. Right now I get an address out of the local in-house DNS server, but Google's servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 etc) only return NXDOMAIN. My browser is using an external proxy which uses Linode's nameservers though, and they too return NXDOMAIN.

Try using 4.2.2.2 and/or 4.2.2.3 for DNS and see what happens. I have no trouble connecting.

That works. As does my company's DNS server. But Google's DNS servers don't work, and Linode's DNS server doesn't work either. I have seen similar things before, and it was always due to something not as it should be with the authorative DNS server's setup. Where I've seen it the problem went away when the authorative server was changed to use BIND instead of whatever they were using, unless a problem could be clearly identified and fixed with the setup.
It's definitely intermittent. Now it works with Linode's DNS again, but not yet with Google's.

I will file a complaint with my ISP. It is not a small company, so it does surprises me a bit.

Thanks for reporting.

You know Hans, this issue is another phishing expedition by the ISP. They want money.

[jac_goudsmit]

It resolves just fine here at my Southern California ISP (Charter cable).

Also the DNS server at my company's office in Maryland (on the East coast of the USA) has no trouble finding it.

Some updates:
- (german) ELCOMP article on getting started with the KIM-1 with experimental hardware a simple LED display
- more 65XX IC photos,: 6552 and 6521
- a program to copy KIM-1 cassette tapes, based upon the two cassette setup of Micro-ADE, written for the KIM-1 User club cassette library

I moved the site to another provider (Strato, quite a big name in Europe), so hopefully no more DNS problems!

Greetings, Hans:

Your site has been a wonderful resource and I really like the new formatting.

Recently, I came across another site with a copy of the ct Cepac-65 articles which included a correction to the Cepac-65 schematic from a later issue of the magazine. If it's of any help, I copied the schematic from the article and edited it to include the wiring corrections for IC5 (74xx74) that were shown in that later issue.

I admit I'm fascinated with these simple 'minimal' 128 byte RAM systems like the Cepac-65, EMUF-6504, and the Beta and I'm looking forward to building something along those lines. I'd also love to recreate the original Cepac-65 articles in English if one of our fellow Forum members from Germany would consider helping me with the translation.

Keep up the good work.

Cheerful regards, Mike McLaren, K8LH

(Hans, you might be interested in this thread elsewhere collecting reviews of Acorn's Atom and also Hobbit magazine's articles about the Hob-bit, a licensed copy - those being in Dutch.)

[HansO]

Mike, Ed,

Thanks for the help! I will update the pages!

I completely forgot about the Hobbit computer, I had a subscription to that magazine in these days!
