Hello to all! Just found this group. Ordered Digi-Comp I from a comic book ad long ago. I have the Digi-Comp I, Dr. Nim, and Think-a- Dot, along with all of...
I wrote ~30 programs (~50 pages)for DC I after studying the Detailed Programming manual. Checked out game books and magic books and math recreation books from...
Bill, Welcome to the group! New programs are always fun! I'd be interested. With the 3-bit standard DC1, I wonder how many unique programs could be written?...
There's almost 10 Mb free on http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/DigiComp/files/ if you can't find another place. Regards, Neil Morrison ... From: "wkustes"...
I was deeply impressed with the DCII at the tender age of 14. It was a marvel to me that the marbles just kept coming and coming until the calculation was...
Let's see. How many programs are possible on a DCI? Hmmm.. There are three flip flops and 6 AND gates. Each AND gate has two logic tube positions per flip...
... [snip] Given any 3-bit input state, one cycle produces some 3-bit output state (posibly to be used as the input for the next cycle). Therefore there are at...
I am assembling the Digi Comp I kit, so far everything is OK Just now cutting the notches in the flip-flops. When I cycle the machine, the clock rods don't...
Pasodad and I posted some notes on the topic in June 2004. I should dig out the notes I have scribbled since then. Some of the 8^8 programs would require a...
I have just used a good amount of time this week to read/scan all of the e-mails (Yes, all 1165 of them.). I notice that new group members often ask for the...
Check out the 9-page article "Mathematical Theory of Think-a-Dot", by Benjamin L. Schwartz, in Mathematics Magazine, Sept-Oct 1967. Maybe you even want to...
I just used a good amount of time this week to read/scan all of the e- mails sent to this group. Lots of discussion on simulators, electronic versions,...
The e-mails telling about new versions of Digi-Comp I are very interesting: forming a corporation, finding investors, materials and methods, marketing, costs &...
I forgot to note that my unpublished programs include Casino Games, Counters, Dice Games, Magic Tricks, Other Games, Other Programs, Pebble Games, and Puzzles....
Those of us who still like the old 8 bit computers (Radio Shack etc) are trying to save whatever we can from those days. This is tinged with the sadness that...
Do you have a copy you could scan in? wkustes <WilliamKustes@...> wrote: Check out the 9-page article "Mathematical Theory of Think-a-Dot", by Benjamin L....
Not really. My copy is a survivor of our 1997 basement flood. It's dirty, frayed edges, coming apart. Any good college library and major public library...
I'm interested but my impulses for creating new problems seem to find the standard DC-1 just too confining. I'd love to see your 30 new games & puzzles and...
Hi Roger, I know I've seen DCII's on ebay before, although they don't seem to show up as often as the DC1's. My suggestion would be to make Digi Comp a...
Hello fellow member of the rollingballsculptures group! With luck you'll find a DCII locally to view. I was too eager to buy one last year and ended up...
I am considering putting up a Digicomp for sale on ebay. I would like to know what kind of interested it would get. It is in the original box, with all the...
Matt, I pasted the results of an ebay search (advanced/completed items=digi-comp). Don't know what a mess it will look like on the receiving end, but the two...
Realize that I put a scanned manual for the Digi Comp I on the groups site. My manual is still in good shape that I scanned. Unfortunately I had lost parts...
The GM V-8 engine firing order that I am familiar with is: 1-8-4-3-6- 5-7-2-1, which I have not been able to program on DC I. Try it, and good luck. Bill...
