I have a 11/35 buried in my garage. Contact me off list if you’re unable to find what you need and I’ll get you some pictures.

Is there anywhere I could go where people who are playing with
this system hang out? I used to have a couple of very early
Model 16's and ran Xenix on them. I also worked with a couple
of 6000's in a real production environment. Lately I got interested
again and found an emulator that does a real good job and a
bunch of rather interesting software for it. Some that wasn't
around when I was doing this for a job. In one case, the package
has a note that while it installs they couldn't get into it because
the first thing it did was ask for username and password. Well, I
figured out how to get into it and maybe there are others interested.
It's nice to be able to see how real work was done back in the day.
I have always wished some of the production software for the PDP-11
had survived, but at least this is a start.

This Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023 at 6:30PM EDT, we will livestream to VCF's
YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@vcfederation) a talk with Liza
Loop, Byron Stout, Wil Lindsay and Jim Hall.
We will be talking about Educating today's children with vintage computers.
We will take questions from the chat part of YouTube.
Future livestreams:
11/4 - Jim Hall - Linux like Unix
11/11 - Liza Loop, Cynthia Solomon, Brian Silverman & Margaret Morabito -
Educating students with vintage computers over the decades.
I hope to see you there!
Hello all,
are there some experiences to install as well as to configure a Dilog
SQ706a QBus SCSI controller in a PDP11/73 successfully?
The controller in question is working properly, that's executing the self
as well as the host DMA connection tests successfully.
The format procedure of a physical and of an emulated SCSI drive will be
executed with success also.
But how to configure the Dilog SQ706a as well as the 11/73 properly, so
that the SCSI drive can be accessed as DU0.
I'm using an SCSI RSX image on a ZULU SCSI emulator inherited from an 11/73
running successfully using a native DEC SCSI controller.
I don't find any successful procedure on the web beside the manuals on
bitsavers, which only can be seen as examples.
A.
I was unable to locate schematics and/or a maintenance manual for the
Unibus M7846 RX11 floppy controller board.
If anyone has these could you please scan them and make them available.
Thank you.
Tom
I have been pointed to the following discussion
https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/ibm-5110-initial-info.1224000/pag…
There, voidstar78 was apparently trying to contact me. Since my mail
addresses are all functional (noone else had any problem with them, be it
my personal or our museum's address), I wonder what he did, and I don't
have a gmail address.
I'm not on this forum, and I don't want to register to "yet another
forum", so I can't even look at the pictures. But it seems to have been an
interesting discussion. Pity it wasn't on this list.

Just a few weeks ago I donated to the Computer History Museum a set
of 14 original IBM black binders of "Type 7xx" manuals from the
1950s, including the 727. That one is likely to be the same as what's
on bitsavers, but since it's no longer in hand I can't check. They
probably haven't made it through the CHM cataloging process yet.
I recently had a need for BC308 transistors. Of course those have been
unobtanium for quite some time.
My search beyond a distributor then went to eBay where I found Unicorn
Electronics.
More to the point I see from their website Apple 1, Apple ][ and Apple 1a
Kits along with Apple 1 and Apple II parts are available.
I thought some here might find this useful.
