- A friend of mine who works for IBM has asked for my help
- modifying some code for a piece of disk test equipment known
- as an MSI-6000. He has found very little documentation other
- than various source (?) files and command summaries. He is an
- electrical engineer (analog) and does not know Forth and is
- not a programmer. I have only seen some listings and not the
- actual equipment or files. It is programmed in what appears
- to be Forth. One listing which starts "Extension FORTH du
- Langage" and " FF: Fichier des Mots d'Extension du Langage"
- appears to be in French.
-
- Does anyone know anything about this equipment or the version
- of Forth used?
-
- Does anyone know whether IBM engineers typically have
- Internet connected Email access?
