I've got one of those too. What a cool board! I *really* like Am2901s.

Yeah, I've just never gotten a close enough look at one to be sure.
Other 264X terminals do differ: 2640s have a processor card with
an 8008, and I never figured out what the processor was in the 2647F.

Hey, this isn't for a PDP-11 or a VAX, it's for an HP3000, which is
God's gift to computing.

The annual Mike and Key Amateur Radio Club swap meet is coming up again at
the Western Washington (Puyallup) Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 11, from
09:00-15:00 Pacific time. Parking is free, admission is $6.00 with kids
under 16 free when accompanied by an adult.
Web info can be found here: http://www.mikeandkey.com/flyer00.htm
(shameless plug alert!) I'll be there selling this year. Here's a partial
listing of what I plan to bring:
Exabyte 8200 and 8500 8mm SCSI tape drives, cleaned and checked out.
A small (400W or so) UPS.
Motorola 'Micor' radios.
A Western Electric "shoebox" 1A2 key system cabinet and line cards.
Anything else I can think of to grab, and that will fit.
I want to bring out some DSD-880's, and maybe a Cipher front-loader, but
Eric Smith was supposed to pick such up from me. On the other wing, he did
not appear when he was scheduled to, and my E-mails to him have gone
unanswered.
Eric, if you're reading this, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH ME! I'm willing to
hold the stuff you wanted for a reasonable amount of time if you'll just
commit to a pickup date. However, I need to clear space for future projects.
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see at least some of you there.

AT&T #B2 model 310 and Model 400
I just ran across these two machine along with some sort of AT&T external
case that goes with them. The model 400 has a damaged case, I haven't
looked inside. Rare, interesting, should I save them? I have read the 3B2
FAQ. Anybody else want them?

Just one.

I have a Zenith (Heathkit) H/Z-110 low profile computer with all the options
including the latest MB and 768K of RAM, Dual internal hard drives, outboard
1/2 height 8" Zenith drive unit, the color monitor and the Gemini IBM PC card
(boots PCDOS directly). User, Technical and Service manuals: Full, original
set. Software: Yeah! Lots of it. 15 to 20 original H/Z 3 ring binders of
documentation and at least 150 4.25" disks of software. Operating systems:
ZDOS, MSDOS, CP/M-80 and CP/M-86. I need room. Make me an offer. Shipping
is NOT desired as it will take 3 or 4 large boxes and a lot of work to do it.
Located in the St. Louis area.
Jay West is still working through the pile of H/Z-89 stuff he picked up from
me last month and I may have a few more items of that vintage, spare parts,
software and maybe one more computer, available also. If Jay doesn't want
them, they will be available. Again, I really don't want to ship the big
stuff.

Subject: Cassete tape data storage

When I first saw your page, I was surprised that such a technology ever
existed. Lately, I have been writing a windows program that stores data on
standard cassette tapes, like a cheap alternative to a tape backup drive. I,
being fourteen years old, was not around when the Commodore and other such
systems dominated the market, so I did not know that there was ever a way to
store data on cassette tapes. Once I am completely done, and I can fit a fair
amount of data onto a cassette, I will send you the program. If you know of
any other such programs, please tell me of them. I am interested to find out
more.
Can someone point me in the direction of info on the Sun SServer 690MP. I
have read THE SUN HARDWARE REFERENCE
compiled by James W. Birdsall and need more info.
I seem to have gotten a board set, no backplane, and am interested in
identifying some of the cards. Also looking for more info on the Ross CPU? Is
anyone running one?
OT because it seem to date from 1993.
Have CPU (dual Ross 40 MHz) wi 2 differential SCSI & Fiber & 128 meg ram.
501-2055 wi 2X 501-1902 & 370-1388
Extra memory card wi 128 Meg. 501-1767
PDX92B VME card to SBus ??? 201 963-02
3 IPI controllers 501-1539 & 2X 501-1855
