Going through my stuff I found a Matrox QRGB 6/64-4 card which seems to be a 512x512x16 color video array for Q bus systems. Did any software ever support this thing, and does anyone want to trade it for a bean of some sort? Thanks! Chris

Late '70s DEC manual covers [niche!]

by Paul Flo Williams

Folks, During lockdown I was having some fun redrawing old DEC manual covers with Inkscape, specifically terminal and printer manuals from the late 1970s. I've attached a montage of four that I printed out so I could stick it on the wall. I'm aware I may be the only person, even here, who finds them attractively simple and coloured in such a definably 1970s way. Some of these designs were used on several manuals, but I'd like to know if you know of any other designs that follow this pattern that I could add to the collection? The VT102 User Guide has different colours, so it looks out of place. A copy of the LA34 User Guide is winging its way to me as we speak. For an infinite number of bonus points, does anyone have any clue who might have designed these? Paul

KDJ11-E M8981 11/93 EPROM firmware dump?

by Glen Slick

Anyone have a dump of the KDJ11-E M8981 11/93 EPROM firmware? That would be U106 377E7 V2.01 (I assume the full part number would have been 23-377E7) Don't see a copy at the obvious places to check: http://www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/firmware/ http://www.dunnington.info/public/DECROMs/

Looking for info on BAI Data Products model 1230 paper tape punch/reader

by Ian McLaughlin

Hello All, I have a PDP 11/05 that I’ve been restoring slowly over the last few years. I’m to the point now where I’d like to get a paper tape reader attached to it. The only reader I can find in my junk is a Bower Associates BAI Data Products model 1230 punch. I’ve put a picture of it here for the curious: https://imgur.com/a/xJ2hyTS Imgur imgur.com I can’t find any documentation online about this machine. I’m wondering if anyone else has any ideas, or might know anything about this. It’s going to need some TLC to bring it to life, and some documentation would certainly be nice. This particular unit was used by the Atmospheric Environment Service, Department of the Environment of Canada (according to a label on the back). It looks to be complete, except the punch bin is missing (not a big deal). Anyway, I thought I’d throw it out there in case anyone happens to know anything about this, before I tear in to it. Thanks!! Ian

Chatgpt : I had a retro dream

by Cedric Amand

I had a dream ; that someone makes a small telnet to chatgpt gateway (using azure chatgpt API possibly ?) So that we could telnet our retro devices to the hype of the year, and get chtgpt answers in our TRS80, PDP and such.

Punched Card Reader

by Eric Moore

Hello, I recently got my IBM 029 keypunch working, and am expanding the search for a punched card reader. Ideally RS-232, but unknown protocol or parallel is fine also. Repair required is also fine :). Thanks for any help! -Eric
