We have a complete PDP 11/04 (exclude terminal) that will be dumped
in the near future. We can freely deliver it if you want.

I have found a micro cassette labelled M700 System Tape, dated 1989.
Anyone have any idea what this might have been for? Found in a stratum with
lots of computer and software manuals from the same period.

I agree there. I have three, 2 brown casings, one of them has the anglles
of a stealth fighter and the other the curves of an old thunderbird. The
third is a creamy albino angled critter...

I found a _new_ plotter (HP 7475 Color Pen Plotter).
One question:
Where would I be able to find replacement pens? Are they still fairly
readily available?

I have a couple of Mizar VMEbus Video boards, model 7710. Has anybody an
operator's/technical manual? Either an original or decent xerographic copy
will do. Has anybody written an OS-9/68K ver. 2.3 or 2.4 driver for this
thing? These are 1989 vintage.
I'm also looking for the following Motorola VMEbus Module manuals:
** MVME 236-1,2,3 (Publication number MVME 236-1 Dx ), DRAM memory module
(x = version or edition number. I'll take any version.)
** MVME 133-1 ( " " MVME 133-1 Dx ),
Processor module
** Support Docs manual for this processor: SIMVME133-1
** MVME134bug ( " " MVME134bug Dx ), debugger
manual for '134 processor module
** and finally the Support Documentation (schematics, etc.) for an
MVME147S which is publication number SIMVME147S. Already have the manual.
** I'm also looking for Xycom catalogs and any tech documentation from
back in the mid-80's.
Thanks for your help!
Regards, Chris
PS: Are there any of you out there who have VMEbus gear in your collection?

Really! The original "Lunar Lander" game . . .
I often marvel at how they manage these decade-long development cycles.
Imagine the apparent lunacy of launching a 10-year-old design just because
it takes that long to integrate, manufacture, and test it.
The simulator must have been written in Threetran . . .

But such utilities didn't come along until later in RTs life.
Actually, in early versions of RT-11 (HT-11), PIP did all the
same functions which were eventually broken out into the
separate utilities DUP and DIR... Of course, since that split,
several other functions were added to each utility, and have
no analogue in V2.
And there was no RESORC, or HELP.

I was watching the show on the history of computers on the Discovery channel
and they talked about the computer on the Lunar Module that landed on the
moon. It had 5000 integrated circuits in it and was quite the marvel for
its time. Could this be a candidate for the first Personal Computer? They
were kinda pricey! ;-)
Does anybody have any information on that cpu - word size, instruction set,
memory, control panel, etc? Who manuafactured it? Where can one go and see
it (without going to the moon!) How about the software for it?
An simulator for one would be pretty cool to see, especially if it was
running the program that they used to land on the moon!
Hello.
I'm working on a project for the TSA National Conference (Technology Student
Association- www.tsawww.org ). It's a CAD design project, and printouts
need to be made at the competition. Unfortunately, my plotter just coughed
up and died this afternoon. It started to grind, made a loud pop, and some
smoke puffed out of it. I took it apart (thought it was a P/S problem,
since the P/S died once before), but it seemed that the decoder (?) chip had
fried. It's an old Tandy, so doubt I'll be able to find any new parts for
it, and I wouldn't have time to repair it, anyway. My school does have a
plotter (2 year old HP), but they won't let me take that beast to Tulsa for
the competition (I'm not quite sure how I'd get it there, either).
I'm not looking for anything real fancy - one with just a black pen will
work fine. As long as it works (with a PC - PS/2 P70), is fairly portable
(can be carried by one person), and won't cost me that much.
ThAnX,

Do you know where I may obtain this card, because I have a scanjet
which I obtained by dumpster diving, but can't interface it with my
computer, so I need that card do you know where I could get he ISA
version.
