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!

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?

Nope, the +2 (vanilla) was grey and both the +2A and +2B are black. There
were 3 models, all increasing in bug-ness. I was going to say check the
Sinclair page in the Museum but I've just noticed the +2B isn't
there.....hmm....

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.
Nova 3 CPU D4864
Nova 3 Triple option 8534
2 16K SCMEM 1638 & 0659
DGC nova Cassette I/O 4F-0334
DGC Nova Compatable wiring board 005-000-449-04
Disk Cartridge Control 4134
another DGC Nova Cassette I/o 5075
There is also a DG removable pack disk drive 4234
I have not seen it yet but I think it is missing the plastic front covers.
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.

Yeah, I'd be interested in it, especially for the cassette controller board,
I have a friend who is trying to repair his cassette control board.

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.

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?
