I am locating a Tektronix 560 for my 8/s. Does anyone here know what changes were made to the Tektronix 560 Oscilloscope to connect it to the 34B or AX08? I have a feeling it was the "brightness" control but I am not sure. The AX08 nor the 34B documents mention any changes to the scope. john

1.44M floppy on Color Computer (was Re: Ebay reaches new low)

by zmerch＠30below.com

Rumor has it that Fred Cisin (XenoSoft) may have mentioned these words: >BTW2, the very first ever RS disk interface for the Coco had all chips >socketed, as well as a few other differences that make it the best one to >work from for a 500Kbps mod. Yes... that's what started this thread... I just got one of those controllers thru a seller on Ebay, and wondered where the 500Kbps hack information might be found. Again, I have nothing against Vaxen (and would love one if I could get one... ;-) but this thread has been *very* fun and educational for me! Thanks, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.

going soon...

by yakowenk＠cs.unc.edu

Hey all, it turns out that "soon" isn't quite as soon as the usual definition. This time we may have several weeks, maybe even months(!), to respond. About a dozen people have expressed an interest (and all are getting this message BCC'd directly). Until I hear otherwise, I'm assuming this guy wants a single contact point, and not a barrage of individual requests. But I will ask him about that; if it is okay by him, then I'll just pass on his contact info and get the #@(& out of the way. Still no more info on what machines are there, and no precise time limit. Will keep you posted. Cheers, Bill.

apple II DOS diskettes - can they be made on a PC?

by jlwest＠tseinc.com

I just got an apple ][+ and two disk ][ units. I have no diskettes for it though. Specifically, I'd like to get a copy of the disks that come with a disk ][ unit. This would be the DOS disks (16 sector version I seem to recall???) and any example disks and/or utilities that normally came with it. So - two questions - 1) Can the disks be made on a PC clone system 5.25 drive with something like rawrite or teledisk? and 2) Can someone point me to where these images can be obtained on the net or would a kind sole email me the images? I don't remember much about the apple ][+, it's been almost 20 years since I played with one so I hope the above questions are somewhat clear :) Thanks in advance for any tips and/or advice! (please reply to west(a)tseinc.com) Jay West

You've got the wrong guy.

I've got a line on a closing construction company warehouse that has a bunch of older computers (maybe 30?) in various states of disrepair, of which the oldest is a "Digital DEC PDP11xx something". I've asked for more info, and will post it here as it comes in. In the meantime, I want to get interested parties geared up and ready to go, because as usual, we don't have much time. Cheers, Bill.

Looking for old equipment -- please help!

by truthanl＠oclc.org

Hello list. I have a mixed bag of classic gear. I have a Plessy 6600/6700 ( LSI 11/24) Circa Jan 84. 80 Meg Fujitsu HD, Cipher F800 ? Tape. I have a D116 mini computer with which is what I think is a Nova 3 Clone- similar Front Panel - paper tape. and a slew of Serial ports. I have a DG3 (Kennedy? tape transport) TI 990/10 CPU w/ Front Panel , CPU Expansion Chassis Unit, Two 10 Meg removable hard drives and scores of serial ports - This was part of a Paradyne modem analysis system Each modem had a primary data channel and an analysis port where the TI 990 tracked modem maladies like lost carrier, receive level in db etc. - Parameters One TI 990 watched 256 2400 Baud modems, Second Hd Came from a second system I could not get. In Its heyday we had over 300 dedicated lines. Other systems I have: MicroVax with VMS 4.2? Another Cipher F880 tape drive. TRS-80 Coco with 32 MB ram ET3400 Microprocessor trainer I havent been able to figure out which system I should start on, Although I have always interested in fnding Linux for the MicroVax. I think the MicroVax also has an 80 Meg HD, 4 Serial ports, I MB RAM I have never been able to get the MicroVax floppy drive (800KB?) to respond. I just discovered this list last week, And now I have HOPE that I can get user help in assessing what I have, imagine the possibilities!!! Sincerely, Full Garage too..
