Don't know the breeds, but you can add the Koreans,
Chinese, and Philipinos to the dig-comsumer list...
Monkey is popular in the latter two as well...

Yep. The vanilla 2 was a 512kb machine with the 400K floppy, which is why it
was pretty useless, the 2/5 has the profile but still half a meg so it won't
run some of the 7/7 apps so I got the extra ET card from ebay. Took me
nearly a year to get a complete spares kit :) The 2/10 was completely
different......
I'm not entirely sure whether the extra IO board I got is from a Lisa 1
since it doesn't have capacity for the battery pack. There's pix on my
museum site if anyone wants to check for me!

Is there an Apple brand on there as well? I'm assuming ET might be the
manufacturer.....

For a long time, I kept a cage that contained a card
rack and a fixed-head disk drive. It would power up,
and make characteristic "booting" sounds. I just wasn't
interested in computers much during that late 80s/early 90s
when everything started to go Microsoft...

Here's the scoop:
Model: A6S0300
Memory Option: A6S0304
SN: A3322146
Manufactured: 3322
Unfortunately there's no prototype info, but both of my memory modules are
dated 1982 and one of them has the 'fabled' ET logo.......

Deep down, you like beef, Sridhar. You're just in denial. ;)

Hi, all.
I have a vaxstation 3100 m38 running NetBSD, and I'd like to be able
to use the local monochrome display. I've removed the SPX color adapter,
and made up a cable according to the pinouts on Kee's VS3100 page. His
pinouts are composite on pin 9 and ground on 3 for a BC23K-03 cable.
However, with the cobbled cable attached, I don't get any output.
Question 1: Did I miss a jumper on the mainboard?
Question 2: I assumed that the pins were numbered in the same order as
an AUI ethernet connector. Looking at the female, I have 1-8
right-to-left, and 9-15 R-t-L. Is this correct?
Question 3: I'm using an IBM Power17 display. Multisync, separate-sync,
composite-sync and sync-on-green capable, I would think it would work
with mono input on the green. It does work fine with the SPX adapter.
Question 4: I also have a Digital VR160 display, but everything I've
read implies that it won't do monochrome. Is that true?
Has anybody been successful with a monochrome display on this box? Any
help would be most welcome.
Doc
Sounds like the same tapes as the Burroughs cassettes I've used
and still have a few of. If so, case construction and tape
characteristics aside, they also have BOT/EOT holes 17.7 inches

Is your data really worth that _little_ that it's not worth buying the
right tape?

I am pretty sure the coercivity of the tape in the 'digital' cassettes is
considerably high that that of the tape in normal audio cassettes...
