Actually, quite a lot of them do have info (if sometimes well hidden) but
some -- Intel comes to mind -- aren't very good about keeping old stuff,
and Toshiba are pretty hopeless. I needed some other info from the same
data book that those EPROMs are in, a few years ago,…
[View More] and ended up phoning
Toshiba to get it. Turns out they stopped making EPROMs about a year
before, and no longer had the data sheets themselves! Luckily one
particularly helpful customer support person found me what appeared to be
the last copy of the Data Book.
I was very glad I checked, because there are two common pinouts for EPROMs
in that sort of size range. Most manufacturers distinguish them by either
using the last four digits in the form "1024" or "1000", or they use "1001"
versus "1000". Except Toshiba -- where others used "1000" they used "1001"
and vice-versa.

No, 57xxxx is stadard EPROM, 54xxxx is one-time PROM.

They were quite popular in the late 70's/early 80's as dial-up terminals in
places like libraries. Ours had one to access the Dialog database.

That's the same NVRAM/clock chip with built-in lithium battery that was
used in several Sun Sparcstations. The Sun hardware FAQ has lots of
information on replacing them with the Dallas equivalent, and has
information (and pointers to other docs) about opening it up to get at the
battery if you want …

That's the same EPROM used by Sparcstations as the boot ROM.

I have a Dec RC25-AA Rev C1 with one RC25K-DC disk pack that I am listing on
the DDA Tradeloop mailer. It is a desktop disk subsystem with a 26 Mb fixed
disk and a 26 Mb. removable cartridge disk. It is in good condition. with one
disk pack and the Users Guide.
It connects to a KLESI controller, either Unibus or Qbus, which I do not have.
I am open to all offers. Shipping weight will be about 70 pounds.
Please reply to whoagiii(a)aol.com
Thanks,

Anyone know the story behind this? Its a small keyboard connected to a
small thermal paper printer. It has an old 70's style phone jack
(at least the kind we used in Ontario Canada) coming out the back of the
printer. My father who found it says he thinks its one of the early
devices used by the deaf. I think it was probably just a simple
terminal.
Whose right? who gets to carve the christmas turkey this year?

>IIRC, it's actaully a PDP-11 and the OS is a munged version of RT-11.
The filesystem it uses on TU58's is the same as RT-11's filesystem.
That doesn't mean it's running RT-11 :-). A VAX-11/780
has an LSI-11 as the console processor, it uses the RT-11 filesystem
on the boot floppies, and that doesn't mean it's running RT-11 :-).
On the other hand, VAX 8600 series CPU's use a PRO 380 console
running an operating system that *is* derived from RT-11. (The
VENUS conditionals still abound in …

though AFAIK a build hasn't been done in over a decade.)
