TEAC Data Cassette Drive - Available for cost of shipping

by jdykstra＠nortelnetworks.com

I've got an TEAC data cassette drive with SCSI interface, model MT-2ST/N50, available to the first responder for the cost of shipping. The drive works, but there's no warranty. It has had light usage and is in good condition, but I have no idea how much life is left on the heads. This is the drive only--no enclosure or power supply. I also have twelve data cassettes that fit this drive. The "buyer" of the drive has first dibs on these, but if s/he doesn't want them, I'll make them available separately. As far as I know, there's no commercial source for these any more. If you want this drive and/or cassettes, email me your address and desired method of shipping. If I don't hear anything by Wednesday, they go up on eBay. ---- John Dykstra jdykstra(a)nortelnetworks.com Principal Software Architect voice: +1 651 415-1604 Nortel Networks fax: +1 612 932-8549

Ham population stats

by jpl15＠netcom.com

So far: 23 respondents to my "Who's a Ham" question; not counting the several commercial licensees among us. Off Topic: I am hoping that the recent US FCC relaxing of the license requirements will breathe a little New Life into the bands in this country... the average age of the Ham population is now in the late 50s or something. There was a time when our communication system in this country, and especially emergency communication, was augmented positively by Hams... but there was a time when computers were as big as the ones in my living room... times have changed. To all who grouse about having had to learn 13WPM (Im a General Class) or 20 WPM (for Extra Class) I say this: It's only a hobby, and a great, though dying one... I welcome all the new hams to come... 5WPM will still be a good "sincerity" filter, and c'mon, people.... it's only *one* character every *two* freakin seconds!! [you do the math: 5 WPM, 5 letters/word avg... 25 char in 60 secs avg] On Topic: I want to use the PDP 11/44 to talk to my (vintage) AEA PK232 Multi-Mode terminal node controller... but even more I want to lash up an RTTY program for the PDP, to send and recieve Baudot in real time. This is in addition to the vintage 60's RTTY station I am assembling... just looking for a good Transmitter. Major components are Model 19, Collins R-388 (51-J) [serial number 235..!] and Irv Hoff TU made homebrew from 60s QST articles. And now back to your originally scheduled Classic Computer Collector's List already in progress.. Cheers John

by mbg＠world.std.com

>I have an 11/03 module (M7270) with all of its sockets filled, does that >mean it has the WCS option or is it simply FP + EIS ? The WCS option was an entire separate (quad) *board*, not a chip. What you probably have is the 11/03, 11/2 chipset +EIS/FIS. Also, please note FIS != FPP/FPU/FPA. It is FADD, FSUB, FMUL, FDIV.

Qume QVT103 terminal

by dburrows＠netpath.net

It is a terminal. There are a few listed in the DDA. Contact me off list and I will give you the dealers that have them and their asking prices. That is if all else fails for a list member having one for real cheap. Dealer asking prices are in the $50 to $100 area.

scroungers -- a new chalenge

by ghldbrd＠ccp.com

Hello, all you dumpster divers . . . . I am on the lookout for: a --->> 44pin IDE <<--- cable about an inch or less long to attach a 2.5" harddrive into an Amiga 1200. I've had people try to sell me adapters to the standard 40 pin. The pitch is slightly less than .100 -- think it's about .080. Female to female connectors. Also looking for a good sorce or supply of Syquest 5 1/4" catridges in either 88 Mb or 200 Mb capacities. I have one of all of these drives -- 44/88/200 and the new prices are worse than the price of gasoline these days. I have a used 44 meg Syquest drive with two carts that I'd part with QUITE CHEAPLY. Also to remind all you Amigalphiles out there -- the Gateway Amiga show is in St. Louis again on April 1-2 at the Henry VIII Hotel on Lindbergh Boulevard near the airport.

Finds at the local university salvage

by ethan_dicks＠yahoo.com

Last week I finally took an afternoon to peruse the surplus depot at my local university. I had to make two trips because they don't take cash, only checks and money orders. As a result of leaving, I missed out on a VAXstation 3100-42 for $10, but the guy left the two disk boxes behind (total of three RZ-57 drives). They have a wad of Macs of various models in various states. I picked up a Mac IIci for $5 with an Apple video card, 8Mb RAM, 230Mb disk and Asante Ethernet; and a Mac IIcx with only a video card for another $5 (mostly for a spare PSU) I've been looking for a IIci for a while because I was using my brother's old one when it died on me. Now I can return it to him in working condition. If I really felt like it, they had a couple of Quadra 605s for $25, one with memory and disk, one without. Neither had ethernet so I left them behind. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
