Hey Dave, can you hold onto a Quadra for me?
-Linc.
I think I already know the answer, but perhaps someone can make use of these
in a really authentic LAN at home :)
- free (you pay shipping from St. Louis, MO): small box of Cabletron ST-500
thickwire to aui ethernet transceivers, working when removed from service.
There are currently 4 or 5 units in the box (more may show up shortly).
I'll hold on to these till 15 October, then they will be recycled. Please
email offlist soonest if of interest. Thanks!

Well for certain I have gobs of TTL for said reapirs and I do make
things.
Those things range from full blown systems down to SSB and CW
transceivers
for HF and VHF radio.

The M7891 is a memory board...I believe that connector is for
factory testing but I'm not sure about that.
The M8265 is one of the pdp11/34a CPU boards. The connectors on
them are for the cache and FPU options.

Hi Gang - long time no type.
I'm just looking for any insight or experience with
a Sperry + Univac core memory card 90536-7128081-00 D
Looks to be a later generation core module, lots of 14 pin
dips with numbers like 7427, 7438, MC7524, 7502, 7503.
card itself is 10.5" tall, 15" wide with 3 connectors
along the bottom, each connector has 2 rows of 28 contacts
(48 * 3 contacts in all) on .1" centers.
This instance is in clean condition - I'd love to build
an interface to it just for a crazy fun project.

DOH! I was mistaken. My machine is not a 847S, it's a 840S. I'll pay good
money to see someone toss one of those :-)

I found this brill note by Twoflower (a Triad member, I think) in a interview
at http://www.c64.sk/ :
CreamD: How do you feel about the party, what is your overall opinion?
Twoflower: Overall it was a great party. Save for some small backlashes, like
missing friends which said they would show up, it was hilariously funny to be
there meeting everyone. Actually, it's kind of easy to forget how much such
an event means for the social bonds of the scene, but when you're there, it
really gets a good hold on you. Scene parties, no matter how small, are
important for the scene, its structure, its competition and its friendship
and should always be pushed for - but it's also important to remember what
these meetings are about - and what they're not about.
CreamD: I don't understand. What do you mean by that what they are and aren't
about?
Twoflower: Meetings are about the scene, the living, creative scene of which
we consist. It's not about retro feelings, of nostalgia or something like
that, but about creating the bonds and feelings for the scene I described
above and pushing the efforts on what you can do with 8-bit computers further
- not back to the 80'ies. The scene, and the parties, must first and foremost
be focused on the scene, for the scene and by the scene - enough said! :-)
I think that sums up my views on emulation and the "retro" trend in a very
neat package. Retro is about what has been, not about what is.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept 22)
You are the logical type and hate disorder. This nitpicking is
sickening to your friends. You are cold and unemotional and
sometimes fall asleep while making love. Virgos make good bus
drivers.
don't forget the 286 pile event.
a team gets 1 minute to throw 286's at least 10 feet
and create the tallest pile.
they took all the fun out of the mac toss.
with those built in handles on the imac, its
just too easy to score a "swish" into the dumpster at 50 paces.

A while back someone was asking about what the battery in the HP
9826/9836 was for. I replied that it was used for a RT clock and that if
could also be used for shutting down the computer gracefully in the event
of an AC power loss. Well, I finally found my manual for it. It's option #
050 and PN 98270 (cost $1515 in 1983). Now that I have the manual in hand I
can give you exact answers to any questions about it. (FWIW I just picked
up an 9826 that has this option in it this past weekend.)
Joe
Will,
I've tried a couple of times to contact you by email regarding whether you
intend on obtaining the remaining DEC gear I still have. Didn't bounce back
but I figure maybe Hotmail doesn't notify senders of non-delivery. Anyway,
could you get back to me ASAP with your intentions on this stuff? I must
move on this soon as I need the space very much.
Apologies to the list for using the bandwidth.
-Chris
