Pied Piper by STM Electronics Corp

by jolminkh＠nsw.bigpond.net.au

I have a new find that doesn't seem to be documented on the Web so far. It's a "Pied Piper" by Semi-Tech Electronics Corporation of Menlo Park, California. It seems to work perfectly and came with a little documentation and a CP/M boot disk. It is a portable, a little larger than a C64 with a carry handle, a cover for the keyboard and a diskette drive built in. Docs are copyright 1982. Has a composite monitor connector that I'm using. I'd appreciate someone putting this into a bit more context for me. Thanks, Hans

2nd life/info for IBM RS6000 type 7012?

by claudew＠funcow.com

Hi I know very little about Rs6000's and IBM AIX... Got this for free...80M Ram, 2 SCSI drives, no keyboard or monitor. Sabine video card and token ring card. Connected Wyse 60 to Modu-10 serial port connector (made cable and connector - such fun) and worked when I got it with AIX already on HDs. Did not have root and HD was a mess so took drives out and used them for something else. Was told AIX needed for this machine was specific version and had to be installed from IBM tape drive ou IBM CDROM or it would never install...tried a "AIX 4.2.1 entry server" on cdrom with Toshiba and other non-ibm SCSI cdroms and never booted or installed doing proper install procedure. Cdrom could be seen and read when old AIX was on there and cdrom connected to scsi chain...I know Sabine card not supported in 4.x Aix anyways... It's micro-channel arch. I think there is no Linux for this... Now machine sits in corner with vintage pc collection taking up more and more space. It's either gotta do something usefull besides sitting on it's side...or will be put up for trade/sale...I really don't wanna bother selling this...I am trying to limit collection of vintage PCs to "home pc's" so this one won't stay for collection even if now about 10-11 years old... Anybody any ideas or suggestions??? Is it worth it? Thanks for reading Claude

Link MC70 terminal?

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

Hello All, Over the weekend I was offered a free "color DEC terminal" which I _thought_ was a VT340 by the description, so I said "Sure, I'll come over and take it off your hands." but what it was is something called a "Link MC70". This was used with a VAX apparently (even has a DEC keyboard layout with the "Do" key!) , and can also do graphics. The web says it is 4014 compatible (but no ReGIS as far as I can tell). Does anyone know anything about this terminal? It is dual session so I'll probably hang on to it. --Chuck

Got Trillium Talkto 616 PBX kit in vintage computer lot...anybody familliar with this unit?

by claudew＠funcow.com

Hi I know this is slightly off subject but I now know this group has such a variety of people with experience in such different field of electronics...I work with a team of 40 electronics techs for a living but none of these have worked a lot with phone/pbx stuff... Got this whole PBX kit in a lot of old/vintage computers I bought. Cost came out to about $15...with 6 hands-free phones...I am thinking of installing it in my 3 floor house...I have 6 clean hand-free phones, the ksu, io cable for stations... I have the manuals for the phones but not for the ksu. I wired up one phone with the ksu and everything seems to work...I suppose the KSU has some default settings...but I really wanna get my hands on the KSU manual...ksu has dip switches with PROGRAM next to them...anybody ever work with one of these or have the KSU manual?...Anybody got one of these pbx's in a house and wanna gimmie pointers for setup/install? Thanks for reading Claude

March 1984 issue of HP Journal ?

by jate＠uwasa.fi

Hello all. In my ongoing search for all things HP 9000 Series 500 I accidentally stumbled into HP Journal. HP has a database on the web with just the article names: http://www.hp.com/hpj/journal.html But there seems to be a bug of sorts (I think I ought to report it to HP). Try searching for HP 9000 Series 500, and you'll get one article: Mar-1984, HP-UX: Implementation of UNIX on the HP 9000 Series 500 Computer System by, Now try to browse Mar-1984: A Local Area Network for the HP 9000 Series 500 Computers Does anybody have the magazine (and be willing to sell it :) or if somebody has it could they give a list of the articles and some info on is it worth ordering as a reprint. Any other 9000/550 trivia gratiously accepted as it's quite difficult to find information about them. -- Jarkko Teppo jate(a)uwasa.fi

TRS-80 Model II

No, they need a keyboard that uses a special serial protocol. The keyboard looks a bit like a Model I. >Also, if anyone wants one of these things, $10 plus shipping.
