Hello all,
I am trimming back my collection of Multibus I items. I am still keeping
some card cages, power supplies, prototyping cards, and other cards, but I
need to make room for other stuff :-)
I would like to get some small amount of $$ per card, plus shipping, so
please make offers. I will take offers until Thursday morning, to give the
international and digest readers time to make offers. Stuff goes to the
highest bidder, and remember, $0.00 is a valid bid.
The vast majority of this stuff is untested, and is sold strictly as-is, so
keep that in mind when bidding. I'm not looking for eBay prices, but I did
pay for a lot of this stuff, so I'd like to get some of it back.
Oh, by the way, MAKE ALL OFFERS OFF-LIST!!!!! I will NOT post updates to
the list. Offers made to the list will be summarily dropped in the
bit-bucket, and the offender will be summarily dropped into the molten iron
bucket. Also, please do NOT email me and ask what the current high bid is.
Make your bid, and deal with it :-)
No documentation is included, unless stated explicitly below.
Here's the list:
- Qty. 8 Intel PWA-1000359 (seven are further marked "REV 01B"). These are
in fair condition, some scratches on the tops of some ICs, and the ceramic
caps are scratched. Also, the rotary switches for address decoding have
lost a bit of their "snap", and are mushy to turn.
- Qty. 7 Micro Industries BLC-508 I/O Expansion board. Seven of these are
still in their original box, with waranty card. The eighth is unboxed, but
in equally excellent condition. These are very nice boards, and although
they all show light markings on the edge connectors, they haven't been used
a lot. Rotary switches all snap nicely.
- Qty. 1 National Semicondutor BLC-508 I/O Expansion board. Nice condition,
very clean.
- Qty. 1 Intel Comm. Expansion Board, PWA 1001197-04 L B F. Looks like an
SBC-534, but it's not marked "534", so I'm not sure. Board in good
condition.
- Qty. 1 Ciprico Tapemaster. P/N 81006101A. 2 50-pin connectors for tapes,
board in nice clean condition.
- Qty. 1 OMEX Interface/Format Memory board. No idea what this is for, but
the board is in nice clean condition.
- Qty. 1 SMD 2180. Again, no idea what the board is for. 1 60-pin
connector, 4 26-pin connectors. Nice clean condition.
- Qty. 3 Multibus bus-extender boards. One is by Prototek, one by National
Semiconductor, and the third is a no-name brand.
- Qty. 1 Intersil MCB 512 memory board. Again, nice and clean. I believe I
also have the manual for this.
- Qty. 1 Plessey PSM 512 memory board. Nice and clean. I believe I have
the manual for this.
The Plessey board, or the Intersil board (can't remember) is not fully
populated, and does not have sockets for the missing chips (ie, you'd have
to solder in sockets, or solder in the chips). Keep that in mind....
Shipping will be by USPS to anywhere in the world they let me ship.... I
will quote actual shipping charges when I know who gets what....
Thanks!
Rich B.
I just picked up a PDP11 processor handbook. Listed on
the front also the pdp11/04/24/34a/44/70. There is a picture
of two of the shorter white system cabinets, one i guess is
one of the front loading tape driver the other case has two
"RL02" unit separated by "somthing" perhaps a cpu with no
front panel lights. The book is copyrighted 1981.
Has this book been scaned? is it already available on the
internet? If not, I will make it available to someone who
will scan it and return it to me..
Hi everybody.
Somebody wrote sometime in the last couple of days about some Northstar
S-100 machines that are soon to become available. I would respond directly,
but I've lost the post.
I may be interested in one of them. Please email me. (this address:

Zcpr (V1) could be run on 8080 (compiled for) with reduced features.
The advantage of this was an enhanced CCP,. There were several
other enhanced CCP replacements Xccp being one that could also
run on 8080.
It was the code efficientcy of the z80 over 8080 that essentially killed
the 8080 as many apps could use the Z80 instructions to compact
code, sometimes significantly. ZCPR relied on this as did The BDOS
replacements (P2dos, Suprbdos, NOVAdos, Z80dos).

True, but Rich's emulator is of an Altair -- one with an 8080 in it. ZCPR2
& 3 were Z80-only affairs, I believe.
I recently picked up Richard Conn's ZCPR book for $10, but I haven't yet
had time to do more than page through it quickly. It looks like it was an
interesting system; the author was obviously influenced by unix.

I just found a thread about this old card and was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase one or of a forum where I might be able to make this sort of request. I apologize if this is out of context for this forum. Thank you.

Hi all
Quickie which I need a quick reply to -
How do I tempoarily suspend recieving posts from the group? I'm on
holiday for 2 weeks very soon (1.5 days!) and don't fancy a few thousand
posts in my mail when I return.
Cheers!
Shaun
I don't know about a Lisalite board, but it did have an "XLerator" CPU
daughterboard, which, among other things, prevented it from booting Lisa OS,
AFAIK. :)

That would be great if you've got it. The rest of the Mac XL is still
setting around. (Honestly, though, I wish it were a Lisa rather than an XL.
:)
As for the parallel cable, I don't know how the internal drive cable was
wired up (:/) but I know that you can plug a straight-through parallel cable
(like the macintosh "scsi" cable) into the back, and connect a profile hard
disk that way.

The funky phone daemon is pretty cool. I used to leave the UnixPC on and
connected to the telephone just so I could use it to put people on hold ;)

I have a 3b2, myself, but it doesn't power on yet. Just sort of sets there.
No idea what's wrong.

He still has the sign on it, I think...
