My girlfriend and I are hoping to go on holiday at the beginning of August,
and right now, it looks like Denver/Boulder will be our destination. So,
does anyone know of any good thrift shops/swapmeets/etc. in the area?
(And, off-topically, antique or teacher stores? Gotta keep the gf happy
too! 8^) Thanks!

Folks, here's something I found on the Boatanchors Swap List.
Wonder if they're ASR-33's? If so, they are of interest to us that collect
early DEC and Data General, etc. computers.
Of course, contact WA6GYD directly to rescue these -I'm just passing this
lead on....

Any chance someone could determine if there are any sig tapes among the
stack which aren't currently available from any of the pdp-11 archives
and make sure the archives get a copy? (Tim Shoppa?)

Simple... To differentiate it from the hordes of other technically
identical PC's available. If I had to choose between a standard PC-type
case and something like that (on a consumer level) I'd definitely go for
the oddball. Consider Bang and Olufsen stereos -- same thing.

Hmmm... Seems to me that two PC's stacked on top of each other is just
about a cube. So, why not a case that has two motherboards, with an
integral Monitor/kb/mouse switch...

Okay, so maybe there isn't any point or anything, but I still think it's a
cool idea... Hmmm... Mac on one side, PC on the other?

There seems to be a guy who posts Amiga/Atari mice for sale pretty
regularly on the Antique Computers section of Haggle (or it may be either
Workstations or Other Computers); I think they sell for about $15. There's
also a woman (Brenda Watson?) who sells Atari mice; I bought one and it
seems fine. No connection, yada yada yada.

Nope, because I don't have the adapter that is required for
connecting to such a drive...

I don't know of any such disk packs (in fact, there is one combination,
I forget which, which will result in a volume spindle swedged into the
drive spindle -- making the drive so much worthless hardware)
However, TK50 and TK70 fit the bill... you can read TK50s on a TK70,
but not write them. Tapes written on a TK70 cannot be read on a TK50.

In the MicroPDP-11/73 that I got in the great haul there's an Emulex quad
board which I want to identify.
An identifying number on it is C3987-C. Two 50-pin headers are on the edge
pointing to the back. No cables attached. Stuff obviously has been swiped
