Available:
1 desktop punchcard reader with a basic parallel output, originally
connected to a PDP-9
Electronics were good last time I checked, but it needs new tires and
belts (all appear to be stock items)
I'd rather *give* it to a good home - someone willing to pay packing and
shipping from Long Island. If no interest is shown in a few days, it'll go up
on e-Bay, where I might make a few bucks, but not know where it's going.
[note: I encourage everyone else with obsolete machinery to do the same
- actually e-Bay is starting tom become the bane of a bunch that used to trade
stuff back and forth, rather than put it up for sale]
The beast is at my parents' home. Recipient will pay the cost of having
it taken to a Mail Boxes Etc., properly packed and shipped via their preferred
method. [I am not going to ask my parents to do more than drive it to the MBE]

I ran across a Texas Instruments Silent 700 Model 745 in a thrift
store today. This is the middle sized one - about the size of a small
portable typewriter - and appears complete (except for power cord) and
clean. It even has part of a roll of the thermal paper in it.
If anyone wants it for $20 plus shipping, contact me off list and I'll
check if it is still there. (Good bet, I'd guess.)

Ive one as well. Just a regular old 10meg xt with additional goodies to
connect to mainframe. runs like a 327x mainframe console. a special monitor
and keyboard were used. there may be a dongle plugged into the keyboard port;
you can unplug that and use a standard xt keyboard. you'll get a 30x post
error, but you can continue. some of the cards were for connecting via twinax
(IIRC) and the special video modes that were required when you ran emulation.
My 3270 machine has a regular old MDA adaptor so that was no problem either.

I have the following hex-height boards protuding from my stash of quads:
Emulex UD33 SMD/MSCP controller, will support 4 eagles.
(2) Able DH/DM 16-port RS232 interface with modem control.
All gear worked when removed from service five years ago.
Anyone who will use them, please contact me off-list.

Elmo

No idea, I think it's still shrouded in encumberment. VMS is available
free. See WWW.DECUS.ORG

Works in most any XT class machine (ISA-8) and it's pretty fast too. I
have one and I keep it in a Leading edge model D with a hard card. One day
I'll put together the apple software for it as mine was without.

Yes they did, forgot them. Eico had some nice equipment. I still use a few
peices that I've have for 30+ years each!
There were other kit hardware suppliers too, Packard Bell and Graybar come
to mind.
