OK, so it's not ten years old and therefore it isn't a classic.
But I use my ScanJet 3C to scan documents *about* classic computers,
and make them available on the web. For instance, the PDP-10 documentation
at
http://www.36bit.org/
So if anyone has an ADF (sheet feeder) that they're willing to sell,
please let me know. The one HP intended for it was the C2525A, but
I think the C2525B (for ScanJet 4C) and C6265A (for ScanJet 6100C)
will work as well. Also, the C1751A (for the ScanJet IIc & IIcx) might
work.
Thanks!

What happens when you come across the One True Keyboard (VT100)
or its descendants, which do have a comma on the keyboard like
god intended?
There's even a DEC keyboard - the LK250 - which has a comma on
the keypad and works on PC-clones.
Tim.
I'm wondering if anyone wants a DEC Vax 6220 (model number 62AMB-YE).
It's approximately 5' x 3' x 3' and is located in the Mobile, Alabama
area. Please reply quickly.

Hi All:
I have an M8047-AA 2 port SLU/boot rom card. It's a dual-height Q bus
card.
I am looking for the pinout of the 2 serial ports. They are 10 pin IDC
headers, with one pin removed to ensure correct polarity.
The headers look like:
o o o o o
o o X o o
The "o"s are pins, the "X" is the missing pin.
This is for an 11/23, the card is configured with what appears to be a
boot ROM, I'm assuming that one of the serial ports comes up as the
console.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

If that's the case, I wonder how "?SYS-F-FUBAR - Failed Unibus Address

I'm not sure if the HP Paintjet is >10yo. If not,feel free to ignore.
Is it possible to upload fonts to the Paintjet? Or redefine its
character set in any way? Does anyone have the escape codes for it?
I looked on www.hp.com, but it is Lynx-unfriendly.

Thank you very much for the scanning info, Eric. If I can get my
clients out of here reasonably early enough Sunday(tomorrow), I will
give things a try along the lines you've suggested... seems I have
most of the tools lying around here somewhere.
My offer, though, re: the doc that spawned this thread, still
holds. If you want this TurboDos info, it is yours for the price of
UPS or FedEx from Los Angeles.
Thanx again!
PS: Thanx Ward G. I had quite forgotten about the F/F/F system of
mensuration. And it is no less ridiculous than the one we (in 'Merka)
use that is derived from human anatomy and plant biology.
Cheers

> The "programmer's" front panel doesn't exist for the PDP11/70.
I saw this earlier and I severely disagree. Two systems I knew of
in the Mill (PRINCE::) and Westford (GRAF::) locations were both 11/70
with programmers front pannels. The latter system, GRAF:: was one I'd
reboot if the sysmangler wasn't around so it's familiar to me.

Hello, all:
I finally got Acrobat Exchange and my scanner to talk to eachother, so I
started scanning my PDP docs.
I posted to http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/pdp11/ copies of the
following:
* IAS/RSX-11 Fortran IV Installation Guide approx size 2mb
* RK05J Engineering drawings approx size 2.7mb
I also have the RK05 service manual scanned and broken into four,
25-page chunks totaling about 7.5mb.
Let me know what you think about the file sizes. I'm torn between files
for each chapter and a single file so long as it isn't much bigger than 2mb.
