ALERT! Major Purge in progress

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

This needs immediate action everyone, Compaq is in the process of removing ALL of the old "Digital Equipment Corp" information from the Web. We've already lost the DEC Technical Journal articles that were on-line, and the Digital Timeline pages. This is a major blow to archivists and preservationists. EVERYONE needs to contect Compaq/DEC and ask that they restore those pages to the web. Please! --Chuck

WTB: MicroAce, CTM magazines

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

I think a better question would be "How hard is it to find the goddamned monitor and keyboard for the bastard?" As the owner of a Terak, I can say its cute, but pretty useless sans monitor and keyboard... grrr..

There are *updates* to 7.5 (like 7.5.1, etc) that are freely available from Apple's sites, but I've never seen 7.5 itself freely available for download. Care to share a link? -dq

One of scrappers has got in a Nova 3 that he is interested in selling. it appears to be a 12 slot card cage with the following cards.

If anyone is interested please contact me off list and I will try to find more about it. I suspect it is heavy but I have considerable experience in shipping this type of hardware. It has been about 9 years since I have seen a Nova 3. Paxton Portland, OR

Micropolis 1203-I disk drives available

by John.Honniball＠uwe.ac.uk

I also found two Micropolis 1203-I disk drives in the loft. They are 8-inch hard disks, +24V, -12V and +5V power requirements and connected to an ICL "formatter" dated 1989. The formatter has various chips from the 8X300 bit-slice system all over it. They're in Bristol, UK, if anyone wants them. -- John Honniball Email: John.Honniball(a)uwe.ac.uk University of the West of England

VAX power supply H7100B available

by John.Honniball＠uwe.ac.uk

I finally dug out the VAX PSU that's been in my loft for a while. It's a 5Volt, 100Amp power supply dated 21st Feb 1980. Model H7100B, with 240V 6A 50/60Hz input. No idea what model VAX it's for, but it was most likely a big 'un. The PSU is in Bristol, UK. It's very heavy, and 240V, so it's probably only useful to someone in this country. Anybody want it? -- John Honniball Email: John.Honniball(a)uwe.ac.uk University of the West of England
