I just saw some rack mounted oscilloscopes out on the loading dock. They are
manufactured by trancor northern, and have a quad height slot available from
the rear of the unit (no cover for the slot). It has a dual height LSI11
cpu board (DEC), and another dual height board installed(DEC). The second
unit is the same, except the second card has generic white handles.
Does anyone know about these things? one rack has two of these, and
under them is a dual 8" floppy drive unit, that has a small ribbon
connector that connects to something via a 25 pin rs-232 connector.
There are various oscilloscope probes there as well, with BNC style
connectors to connect to the oscilloscope. I didnt count, but i'd say
roughly a dozen probes mounted on the outside of the rack on some
custom made holder.

I am looking for new homes for all the old computer stuff I
have collected in my 40 years of working in the computer busness.
I'm not a collector just a person that don't like to through any
think away. I have 16 boxes of information, books, manuals,
magazines, and software.
Anyone interested or know someone that would be interested
contact me using my E-mail address.

Hello all,
I've recently moved to the Sacramento area and was interested if anyone on the list is aware of any computer recycling companies out here? I know of a few in Orange County and the Bay Area, but can't seem to find anything out here. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
John
OK, I've been working on this for the past several days trying to see if
data is actually being written to the core. However, I have run into a bit
of a stumbling block. What is the following Chip, and does anyone have a
pinout?
S7316
DEC
6380A
The MA lines go into it on the G227 board.
1=GND
8=Vcc +5V
I think 4,7,12 are all inputs.
I assume the 'S7316' is the manufacturer part number?

This is MS DOS 3.3a, or 3.3.02, or 3.30a, or 3.30.02 (depending on how
you pick your nits :); the timestamp is really 00:00:02.
Let me know via email if you still need it.

Subject: D--16 Maintenance Manuals? Someone needed them?
I have two maintenance manuals for the D-116. Someone requested these a
while ago from this list but I cannot locate the email from him. Please
e-mail me so I can ship them out. The first manual is part I (CPU handbook),
the other manual is full schematics.
PDP-8s and other rare mini computers
http://www.pdp8.com
Managed to pick up:
2 more H901 DEC educational/prototyping flip chip panels
35 DECtapes with 2 rack mount holders, software is mostly PDP-9, some PDP-8
(OS/8) and a couple PDP-15.
PDP-10 Applications in Physics manuals.
8" IBM disks (bunch).. cool for the Sykes 7150.
KM-11 plastic templates
A bunch of Nova software magtapes
Storage:
*just* started one storage unit and found 4 complete RK11-D controller sets
still in the BA-11s (from Ontario Paper).
Viewed the Fujitsu Super Computer (WOW!)
Looks like the next load will be half a dozen PDP-8s in Georgia.
I will post all my *micro PDP-8 diagnostics* later today.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Remember Bhopal, India?
At least 15,000 died in that disaster and a reported 600,000 more suffered
injuries. Why are we more critical of the russians then Union Carbide?
