I just picked up an Anderson Jacobson (Model: AJ1235) acoustic/direct
coupled modem. Anyone have any information on this?
QUESTION #1:
The front panel has a slide switch that is labled "Disconnect" and has ON
and OFF positions.
There is also a momentary push button labled "connect".
Now, I assume that the "Disconnect" switch is to pick-up and release the
phone line when the direct coupled plugs are used but, what does the
"Connect" button do?
QUESTION #2:
There is a 300/1200 baud switch. all of the acoustic modems I have ever
used only ran at 300 or slower. Can you run 1200 baud over an acoustic
coupled modem?
QUESTION #3:
The place I bought this at has a few more. Anyone interested?

I'm looking for a MAS-20 hard drive for the Amiga made by Microbotics.
Does anyone have one they'd like to sell or trade?

A possible rescue, of what sounds like an interestingly outfitted system,
especially if you are into video.

Subject: PDP 11/23 System to go (Long Island, NY)
I have an 11/23 system that needs a new home. It is actually a complete
IMAGES system as sold by CGL,Inc. way back in the the early eighties.
It runs a legit flavor of UNIX off an RL02 diskpack. The bundle consists
of three wheel-around racks and a few loose items. Rack #1 is the CPU
and two mounted RL02 drives. Rack #2 contains (3) Genisco frame buffers
and power supplies. Rack #3 contains a video patch panel, sync
generator, RGB->NTSC video encoder, NTSC->RGB video decoder and a video
digitizer.
In addition, there is a VT100 terminal, a large graphics tablet, a third
unmounted RL02 drive and a cabinet rack with over a dozen RL02
diskpacks.
At this time I would prefer to unload the system as a package rather
than break out individual components.
Interested parties must be prepared to move system. I will not ship.

<Has anyone ever put together a list of handsomely designed computers?

<first machines to exclude from such a list are the iMac grotesques.
Hummm. Well I think form and function are related.
My thoughts would suggest...
NorthStar* Horizon (wood cover) as a simple but pleasing to the eye design.
Kaypro Toteables, very functional and simple.
DEC BA123 based machines for simple styling and good mechanical/thermal
engineering.
Epson PX-8 laptop. small package for its time but not industrial looking.
TRS80, TI99, Commodore C64/C128 for evolving the wedge design to the limit.
Others, PDP-10 (KA10), PDP12

If that is a "LOGIC" it could be a scsi controller. Logic made a 5380
compatible/and better controller to the ncr5380. You should see the number
somewhere on this chip "5380" or similar.

Kai's original Top 150 list had the AT&T Unix PC 7300 on it.
I passed one of these up in a junkyard a few months ago. It looked a bit too
much like a terminal and I didn't know anything about it.
Did I do wrong?
My decision was a little swayed by the fact that I powered it up without
looking and something went bang. It was then that I saw the 110v sticker on
the bottom. We have 240v around here!

Greetings to all,
I was wondering does anybody have a keyboard to fit either of these
computers (a Sanyo MBC 555 or a IBM 5150 XT) and would like to sell it?

Today, I found a mint Epson HX-20 at the MIT hamfest. All the
original packaging and manuals, and only $15. It doesn't have a tape
drive or expansion module, but it's cool nonetheless.
Anyone know where to find software or monitor documentation for this
thing?
