I'm always looking for anything having to do with PDP-11s and their
peripherals. I'm unsure as to what I'm going to end up with when
the summer is over, so I can't be sure about anything specific. I
suspect my want list includes (but is not limited to):
DEC
- Any PDP-11 central processor (especially 40, 45, 70)
- RK05 (want 3+)
- RP04 (want 1-2)
- RA81
- paper-tape reader/punch
- ASR33
- VT52

My college course in electronic instrumentation had a lab section that
used an E&L Instruments ADD 8000 for the experiments. I always wanted to
get hold of one for my own use. I felt like the one I used was mine,
anyway. They came in kit form, and since we were the first
class, we had to assemble them. They were quite unaffordable by a poor
student at the time, though. Anybody else familiar with this prototyping
system or run across one anywhere?

I was contacted by a person in charge of liquidating the assets of an old school. They recently purchesed an old school building for other purposes, and found what they describe as a large amount of old microcomputers in storage there. They don't want them, and want to take offers for them. It sounds like they will take a "token donation" for a system or systems or maybe the whole lot.
All I know at this point is that most of the systems are Commodore Pet, Commodore superPet, and TRS-80. I'd be suprised if there wasn't a bunch of apples there too, and lord knows what else. Location is Arizona.
So far, they have asked that I be a single point of contact so they don't get innundated with calls. If anyone is interested, Please email me asap or they will wind up on the junk heap.
Most importantly, are any interested list members in AZ (brisbane I think was the city) and could thus do a look-see, and maybe organize shipping, etc?
Let me know!

No, Pics online. I have to get a camera for that or maybe borrow one. It would be interesting to line all of them
up and photograph them.

I'm traveling up to Denver from Houston soon and wanted to see if
anyone knew of some places to check out for old systems while I
was there? What are the good thrift store chains there? Any other
places?
Thanks.

Just wondering. How many Mhz or MIPS
do you need to display dancing hamsters?
What's the best way to get this to work using only
a 7-segment LED for the display and telegraph sounder
for sound output? My boss wants
an estimate of how long it will take to implement
this with a 4 bit CPU for under $1.
Thanks very much in advance.

At some point I will need to replace my old monitor
that is growing dim and blurry. I hope to replace it
with a new contemporary monitor that is not too expensive.
It will need to be multisync, sync on green, and have
BNC input.
Does anyone have experience with anything along that
line? I know Iiyama has a couple models: Pro 410 and Pro 510.
Sony is a bit too expensive. Any other brands and models?

For me to build it as a class project I'd have been the professor. I'd been out of school for a while by then.
No, I wanted a 9900 based machine to see what was on the non intel track back then. My 9900, ELF, 6800d1 and SC/MP all came from that effort back then. I've had them since before 1979.

Maybe it'll work twice -- I'll give it a try!
I have an original power cord that was wired into an Altair 8800. I don't
really _want_ to use it to hang a potted plant from a hook in my family
room, but it looks like I'll have to.
Unless, of course, some generous soul would be so kind as to give me the
parts I'm missing to restore my power cord to its former complete Altair
greatness.

(Crossposted to CLASSICCMP and the milsurplus list)
My mate and I will be visiting friends in Tucson around the end of May.
While there, I aim to do some scrounging!
I'm less interested in computer hardware (with one notable exception --
specifically, an Intermec bar-code label printer, direct thermal species)
than I am in test equipment and radio hardware, both mil-surplus and
commercial. In fact, I have need of a good source for used aircraft-type
circuit breakers (the pop-button type, both DC and AC) at this time.
Suggestions for scrounge stops in the Tucson/Phoenix area would be
appreciated. Please keep in mind that I'll only have one day to do this.
Thanks much.

Does anyone here think I could get anything for a Superboard 2 in a C1P Case with memory expansion/floppy controller board? It is escentially a C1P. If so, I could clean it up a bit and put it on ebay. If not, it will evenutally just get pitched. It is a piece of my history, but there has to come a point where I must let go.
Thanks

OK, now I know it was a good idea to ask first instead of sending 'em
straight away... (Such rules should be mentioned in the FAQ or some kind of "Do's
and Dont's" section of the classiccmp homepage, or did I just miss it when I
was reading?!)
As I think I won't have the time for creating a good web page in the near
future, I'm rather going for the temporary storage approach, as suggested by
Mike Ford:
>One mentioned on another list is www.whalemail.com that allows something
like 75 MB of free >temporary storage.
I'll also be waiting the next few days and only get myself some space if any
reply to my post actually caring about the machine arrives - why offer the
pics if nobody knows the box and/or wants to have a look at?

I have to say that this is one of the most interesting topics that we have discussed lately and it ereminds me why I actually joined the list in the first place!
Another thing I would find interesting is/are lists of what people are looking for.. For instance, I would really like to get a hold of a GRiD laptop - one of the 15xx series (386/486's). I have a GRiDcase 3 and really like it but it isn't really a daily useable computer - more of a collectors item. I could squeze Linux or NetBSD on a newer one and have an indestructable workstation.
Slightly off topic (not quite 10), but I am also looking for an inexpensive Multia for a project I am working on. Also looking to get a hold of another smaller Vax or two (really like those), and an HP 9000/3xx as well.

I can understand the hard drive issue. I used to live in Kentucky and I used to go to the sale at Ft. Knox every month. It definitely was my favorite DRMO sale behind Columbus. Quite often, the machines I received had "A LOT" of information on them that although not classified, was certainly private.

Brian. was fun rummaging around all the lots of equipment with rounds of ordinance blasting in the distance. I'll never forget on one of my best huals of equipment, I wedged a Penske rental truck under one of the overpass's there. A couple of soldiers help me let the air out of the tires and reinflate them when it was clear. Its hilarious when I think of it now but when it happened......

Easily done; look for it in the next release. The TIL311 *is* a cool
display. My low-budget ELF had to make due with seven segments, but what the
heck, now it's in software. It strikes me funny that the size of a bitmap
for one digit (8 bit depth) takes up several times the memory of the
original 256 byte ELF! Oh the waste of it all...
