Tom -
I take it this is just a board swapper's guide (from what I remember of the 3278
it's not likely to be any more than that). If nobody else wants it, I might
take it for old times' sake. How much is shipping to the UK?

Fellow in the UK's looking for a PDP-11, and it doesn't sound like
he's picky about what or where.
Reply directly if you can help. Thanks.

Got it! He's unloading a PDP 11/23 of some kind, presently disk-less,
a VS 2000, and a disassembled but probably still functional VS 3500.
Maybe I'll pick them up tomorrow. It sounds like he was into
net-booting BSD.

Hello there !
I've found a new system this week-end, the MPT-05 from ITMC. A quite
rare
and strange system.
By talking with a friend, we have put a very small list of known carts
for this system:
MT06 Morpion Electronique
MT11 Tir de chasse
MT14 Jeux de Cirque
MT16 Reversi
MT19 Musique et M?moire
Then by looking at the Voltmace Database cart list made by Teflon, I've
found that some of them are very similar to our list:
8 Shooting Gallery = MT11
12 Circus = MT14
14 Four in a Row = MT06
21 Musical Memory = MT19
and ??? =MT16 Reversi
I think the MPT-05 is a Voltmace Database clone which wouldn't be
surprising since I have a Hanimex MPT-02 which is a RCA Studio 2 clone
and
a MPT-03 which is an Arcadia 2001 clone !
Or maybe the MPT-05 is a clone of the Acetronic MPU-1000.
Could someone tell me more/give me info/or whatever related to the
Voltmace System/Acetronic MPU-1000 or even ITMC MPT-05 ?
Cheers,

I have the BASIC Summary posted at:
www.pclink.com/fauradon
in the tech info section
the tapes are: HP part number 98200A The only marking on the tape are: HP
200 and series 9800
Hope this helps
I'll dig up my HP stuff to see if I have anything on the ROMs

I guess the three people on the earth with a P70 must be on this list,
those cables are gone.
A couple of the other lists I am on have Monday as swapday, the day people
should offer up things they don't need to those who do need them. So don't
be surprized if from time to time I end up making some kind of post here as
I rifle through my stuff and make a post on one of the other lists. Today I
want to hit three points, a vendor I know with some old software, recent
additions to my personal heap of stuff, and the URL that points to it.
At the Fontana, CA hamfest last Saturday a vendor I know had a couple dozen
moving sized boxes of old (circa 1990) software, many still sealed. I
bought AppleShare 3.0, 2.0, a couple PC Appletalk cards, a full set of AUX
version 1.1 (Apple unix), and plan on paying a visit to his warehouse
before he takes the next load to Pomona next Saturday. If someone is
looking for a complete boxed set of some software of that era, MacDraft,
MacSomethingElse, let me know ASAP, or wander out to Pomona and see whats
left. The mix BTW was about 60/40 mac/pc, but I don't have a clue about old
PC stuff.
I bought a dozen old macs, a pair of laserwriter II's (I now have
motherboards for IInt, IIntx, and IIg), a box of Apple II cables, a big box
of Farallon phonenet adapters, more nubus video and ethernet cards, and out
of the dozen old macs it looks like two of the SE have Levco Prodigy boards
(the first I looked at included a 4 MB ram on the Prodigy board) and three
SE/30 are checking out pretty well. If you see something on my web page,
NOW is a good time to ask for it.
As usual my web page isn't very up to date, but at least I am getting more
listed all the time. If I don't show a price, help me out and suggest one.

It turns out I've got a few mass storage controller which might be of use.
All were funcional when removed from their previous homes.
Cipher Data products - 2-board set + controller formatter (on the format of
the open reel tape drive, rather than the S-100 board pair) 9-trackTape
interface
-
XComp 8" Winchester Disk Controller board pair tuned for the 4.34 MHz data
transfer rate of SA-100x series drives.
-
MSC - (later called Xebec) S-100, unfortunately over-height ST-506 (2
drives) interface, MFM coding.
-
Ditronics-1 (Micro Applications, Inc) dual density FDC (5-1/4" drives only)
Let me know if you have any use for these items, and perhaps we can arrange
a transfer.

He and a bunch of other VMS folks headed off to DECWest, and worked on a
variety of projects including the Mica (?) operating system. I believe it's
largely the DECWest crowd that moved to Microsoft. If you look at
http://www.halcyon.com/edge/decwest_alumni you'll see a large number of
@microsoft.com addresses.

They aren't all that obscure, but they're all three available at my local
thrift store (sans power cables). If anyone would like me to pick them up,
shoot me an email. I'm not a particular fan of any of these machines, but I
figured someone on the list might be interested.
FYI...

Frank:
I got the docs you sent, I think these will help quite
a bit! I'm gonna put a few dollars in the
mail to cover postage, etc.
Thanks!
