M700 System Tape

by jolminkh＠nsw.bigpond.net.au

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. Hans Olminkhof

Great find

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... ;) Mike

Anyone have an old plotter.... found.

by roblwill＠usaor.net

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? ThAnX, -- -Jason Willgruber (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#: 1730318 <http://members.tripod.com/general_1>

Looking for VMEbus module manuals

by cfandt＠netsync.net

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? -- -- Christian Fandt, Electronic/Electrical Historian Jamestown, NY USA cfandt(a)netsync.net Member of Antique Wireless Association URL: http://www.ggw.org/awa

the "FIRST PC" - How about the computer on the Lunar Module?

by edick＠idcomm.com

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 . . .

rt-11 (ht-11) help

by mbg＠world.std.com

>same page you would use for RT-11 (its essentially rt-11 V2). HT-11 >would have to have dup, dir, resourc and a few other utilities on it do >be useful. 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.

the "FIRST PC" - How about the computer on the Lunar Module?

by jlewczyk＠his.com

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!

Anyone have an old plotter that they don't need???

by roblwill＠usaor.net

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.
