I agree with having fun on eBay, it is a lot of fun sometimes..
Also have had a lot of fun seeing how close I can get to the end of the
auction, like kicking in my maxim bid at exactly 5 seconds remaining..
Depending on the traffic load on eBay server at the time, I have scored a
bid (Victory) with only 1 second remaining.. (Can you heard the crowds
cheer). Sometimes I have also lost this way because the server on eBay was
running slow and I got the very unpleasant notice that "The bidding is now
closed on this item" << GRIN >>..
Seriously though if you see something you really want I suggest not to bid
on it till the last 15 seconds, then place your maximum bid. Bidding early
will only drive the price higher..
In a way all auctions on eBay are sealed bids simply because you do not know
what someone else will bid in the last few seconds.. And in that respect
its kinda fun..
So I say if you want to play the eBay game, better play the same way others
do..
So have fun...
Phil..
I've got the mainboard and cpu card from an AST Manhattan P5090 server
(dual Pentium-90 sockets) that are marked "non-working" with no further
details. IIRC, we pulled this from service a couple of years ago and it
didn't want to post when we tried to test it sometime after that.
If someone wants this, let me know. Otherwise it finds it's way to the
round file...
If interested, please contact Grace Ortschied directly at
grace(a)numacorp.com...
Available immediately:
HP2680A laser printer
(2) 7978A tape drives
Possible available in December (ask her for specifics):
979/200ks w/185GB, dds, mag drives, 2563 & 2566 printers. Wow!
If anyone can rescue the stuff, she'd really appreciate it. She really
doesn't want to scrap anything. And if anyone ends up negotiating for the
979/200ks, let me know how it is!
Cheers,
Aaron

The 11/05 and 11/10 are the same CPU... If I remember correctly, the
difference in designation was based on whether it was OEMed or not.
Same for the 11/15,20 and the 11/35,40

I have a working 11/05 (with two core stacks -- the original 16Kw
MM11-?? memory which came with it, and a 16Kw MM11-DP I got for it
at a later time).
I also have several pdp-8s...

The perfect end to today...
Somehow, I've lost my backup to the image files of an RT11 System Manual.
Ugh.
At any rate, I was able to put the first 4 chapters and TOC online
today...I'll try to get the rest re-done as soon as is humanly possible.
<sob...all those hours scanning...gone...>
What's left is here:

I've recently acquired one 128K and one 512K Macintosh and am looking for
technical documentation on it (schematics, logic diagrams of pc boards). I
thought that it would be easy to find on the web, but I've had no luck after
more than a week of searching. Any help with schematics or service manuals
would be appreciated.
I've found some pdf files that have some rudimentary diagnostic procedures:
"if the logic board is bad, replace it" "if the floppy drive is bad, replace
it".
The 128K's floppy isn't working, even after cleaning the coagulated
lubricant and I am trying to diagnose the problem.
Thanks!

There are a few eBay tricks. Bidding you maximum by $X + 1 cent or = 51
cents etc. Most people bid in even dollar amounts. Adding 1 penny to your
maximum bid often gets you the item. A lot of people know this so now they
add 51 cents. It has worked for me several times.
I quickly threw together a page on my PDP 8/s system I have just finished
restoring. Many pictures are online so please wait for them to load.
My priority right now is to have this unit connected to the internet so
folks can play with it online.
I will have a *proper* web page online soon with it's own domain name.

Hard vs soft is a controller issue, not a drive issue (at least for
non-customized drives like those found in the Commodore 4040, et al.)
The drive has to have a sensor for the index hole. The Tandom TM-100
series does. It is ignored in most applications.

That would be the case. It is the exact model used in the first IBM PCs
and XTs. My Kaypro II has a pair of TM-100-1As.
