Hi John,
I knew that someone on the list had a Terak. BTW I think this one
originally came from the VA hospital in Gainsville, Florida. I got it with
a bunch of stuff that came from NASA.

I don't know anything about it other than the obvious. I haven't had a
chance to look at it closely. It looks like a model 8510. It has one 8"
floppy drive and the monitor. It has two serial ports and each has
connectors for DTE, DCE or current loop connections. It has a monitor port,
a composite video port, a keyboard connector and a connector for additional
drives. I'm missing the cable that connects the monitor to the CPU and I'm
missing the keyboard. (Unless it turns up in the rest of the stuff.)
I'm posting pictures of it at
"www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-f.jpg" and
"www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-b.jpg".

A spare door and part of the RADAR altimeter. We've already been
offered VERY serious money for the door. In fact, more than enough to pay
for the whole load. Oh, also got sections of the tunnels that were
supposed to connect the different modules of Skylab. They remind me of
those tubes used on the gerbil and hmaster habitats!

Wonderfull Allison, thanks! There's a win-32 console binary (it's small)
for 95/98/NT or a single .cpp source file that shouldn't be too hard to
recompile anywhere else.
Dump machine code in with the m! command (for ex: " m! 0 1525c4" will dump
INC (r5); DEC (r5); NOP into 'ram' starting at address 0 (A write cursor
allows continuations in entry, another "m! c4c4c4" will write 3 NOP's
starting a address 3 using the above example) and then three 't' commands
will single-step execute the instructions (or a single "t 3" would have
too). 'r' dumps registers at any point. and "m? address [count]" looks at
memory.
Thanks for the help!

Am I just imagining that someone scanned the service manual
and put it online? A search of my saved messages and web
bookmarks revealed nothing...

They are still available occasionally at my local Volunteers Of America
outlet - routinely $5 to $7, keyboard extra. I have one or two including
one that is still performing its original duties from 1983 - a display
terminal for a NorthWest Instruments 68000 bus analyzer. We threw a
defective MFM drive on it (bad platter giving us reduced capacity) and
slapped it and the NW box into a gutted VAX-11/725 case. It was very handy
to wheel up to a test board and plug in... the mono monitor and full-sized
keyboard fit on top of the former VAX without falling off.

I have several dozen original-issue Perkin-Elmer/Concurrent 3200-series hardware and software manuals for $8 each, plus $3 shipping per order. Anyone interested in receiving a list? If so, please e-mail directly.

Well, I've spent enough time working on robotic warehouse systems at
shipping and loading docks that I know that a Gaylord is a largish
cardboard shipping container with a lid, usually used to hold a lot
of smaller boxes :-).

Just noticed a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A new
recycling program started 2 weeks ago, and already they have quite
a few computers (well, duh!). Anyways, here is a link, you can
read teh article, and if you're in wisconsin, maybe you might
want to start paying them a visit occasionally, and geting them used
to interacting with collectors, maybe even talk them into saving
certain kinds of hardware... who knows what you could accomplish
with a brand new program like that.

Today I picked up a working (notes the machine say so, not tested yet) PDP11/23+ in the rack with 2 RL02's, a MTI 8" FD unit with 2 drives, and digital unit with a small black face harddrive mounted in it. Everything is cabled marked as being working items, unit itself is pretty clean.
Hello, all:
I want to replace my CMS SCSI card in my gs with a card that can
handle CDs and ZIP disks. I know that either of these cards is rare, but
does anyone have one they can part with?
