Please reply offlist as this is not a true classic. Well maybe as the
scanjet is!
I'm trying to setup the HPscanjet on my ps/2 and of course the startup
is complaining about the new interface. I have the refdisk for the ps/2
but not the required setup disk for the scanject interface. Any
suggestions?
Until I crack this the system will not boot with the card in place
unless, is there is a bypass procedure?

I have recently come across a couple of video's at a thrift shop that were
fun to watch. One was called "In business with Macintosh" which was
probably from the early 90's and the other was an IBM video of a
conference in which they present OOT. Neither are "classic" in their
subject matter, but I was wondering if anyone has any that are. I would
thrilled beyond belief to see a promo video for "Lisa". I'm sure
they must have considering their efforts to sell the thing. Anything old
would be a hoot. IBM must have put out tons of stuff.

No, they're not talking about the same thing. A 700/RX (I think) is
an X terminal, meaning it wants to talk X over a network (TCP/IP or
maybe DECnet, and yes it probably has an Ethernet interface built-in)
with X client programs running on other hosts. A 700/44 is a
traditional terminal that wants to send characters across a serial
line. In particular the 700/44 emulates a PC terminal and DEC
VT52/100/200 terminals. It doesn't do all that HP block-mode
stuff that I ramble on about sometimes.

So, I went to the surplus depot today to dig around for good stuff. To
folks looking for NeXT stuff, sorry, none to be found today. Aside from
that, I *DID* find some cool stuff. If you're interested in any of this
stuff, send me private e-mail and maybe we can work something out.
(1) NCS Sentry 3000 Test Scanner (for grading scantron type tests)
$25
(4) DEC DEMPERs
$10/ea
(1) SummaSketch II Tablet
$40
I also ran across an HP 700/x X-Terminal. Does anybody know anything about
these? It looks like it will run a standard 15-pin VGA monitor. It's dirt
cheap and I'd LOVE to have an another xterm around the house. Any info?
Thanks

Most of the early Moog work was done an ANALOG synths using multitrack
recording as most were not polytonic machines. Names of people who did
commercial work were Wendy Carlos, Iaso Tomita and Claude Denjean to name
some in my collection (Vinyl). The classic was Switched on Bach, Carlos.
Some had primitive sequencers but it would not be until the late 70s that
the computer->synth connection would start to really get out of the lab.

Since we're on the subject:
I have a small synth that was sold at Radio Shack (Tandy) that is labelled
"Mini Moog Music" Are there any relation to the Moog we're talking about or
did they only used the name for marketting?

I'm really wondering if you guys are talking about the same thing I am
here but I have a perfect condition HP 700/44 terminal with rs232 and
current loop connections on back, with keyboard. I believe it's
monochrome amber and emulates different systems.
This is the last (and best) of the batch I had for sale. I'd like $15
plus shipping for this one.
Also still have the Visual 102 terminal with keyboard in breat
condition, $10 plus shipping - but a little heavier.
The DEC VT 220 is spoken for and the DEC 100 is due to get gutted next
week.-

My girlfriend and I have a PDP with a Charles River Data Systems RL02
clone. Anyone know a boot loader for this puppy?
(Funny thing is, Charles River Data Systems is less than two blocks from
my office, noone there knows anything about the drives :)

Well, I finally got it.
Took it apart and found that whomever owned it previously already
mounted a power switch in the back and runs all the AC voltage thru
there.
There is alot of corrosion on the ICs in the front panel, I'm going to
need to spend some time cleaning everything up there.
One switch and two switch covers are broken but those are easy to
replace.
Four of the 100 pin card edge connectors need to be replaced (two are
just way too loose and corroded, the others are broken).
Everything else seems to be fine (the power supply is okay and supplying
the proper voltages).
Now all I gotta do is order all these parts and enough S-100 cards to
complete a CP/M system and I'm all set.
Wish me luck!
