I think there was an entire line of TI minicomputers that were sold off by TI to HP. I have part of a TI explorer and several TI 1100's and 1500's. These minicomputers are still used by several HMO's in Kansas City for some medical billing application. My local computer surplus has 6-7 of them. There were ASCII TI terminals that went with the system. I seem to remember that there was a terminal emulation application for the TI-99/4's. Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu

Message for Bruce Lane

by jpl15＠panix.com

Well, Bruce, I've tried to reply privately to your Tucson message from my private and office accounts... both bounce with 'host unknown' errmsgs. I can understand wishing to guard against Colds and Flu, but wearing a spacesuit 24/7 to accomplish that is a little... dare I use the word... obsessive? ;} A shame too, I have contacts in Tucson... O well... "I wanted to join Paranoiacs Anonymous, but when I called for info the guy on the other end asked to know how I got their number, started screaming about just exactly how I knew they were there, and slammed the phone down on me. Next day, when I called back, the number was disconnected." Chz John

Heath/Zenith stuff

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

From: Bill Gunshannon <bill(a)cs.scranton.edu> >>Your thinking of the Heath H11 which was in fact an LSI-11/02. But it had none DEC hardware peripherals like the console SLU and disk controller. IT was an LSI-11/03. The 03 card had 4kw or ram on it and was quad width where the /02 card was dual width and no ram. >>By the way, they were not the only non-DEC LSI-11 system. The Terak also was an 11/02 with custom console and disk hardware. The list of companies that also shipped the base dec hardware repackaged is rather lone and includes Charles River, ISI, DSD, Tektronix and likely many I missed. DEC sold those boards (cpu and supporting) as peice parts for the embedded systems of the day to people that did NC mills, gas analysers, plant controls to name a few. It's part of the reason why PDP-11 Qbus hardware is so common and still in widespread use. Allison -- Bill Gunshannon | de-moc-ra-cy (di mok' ra see) n.

VCF East in Worcester

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

I'll batch up my replies into one, sorry for the non-attributions.... >What about facilities for those choosing more reasonable means of long >and short distance transportation, such as train stations and boarding >stables? Trains, yes, an Amtrak station, but as others have pointed out, the route may not be direct. I would suggest calling Amtrak and trying to find out about direct routes. Other than that, you could go to Boston or Providence, and most likely get transport to Worcester from there (by bus, most likely, and it's only about 1hr. from Boston, or 45 min. from Providence by bus/car)... >> By the way, do I get any points for suggesting Worcester? :-) >Yes, as in the points surrounding a bulls-eye painted on you so that >we can keep score when the pieces of buck-shot, or at least peas from >pea-shooters, start heading your way for choosing such an annoyingly >distant location for most people on the east coast - and for >suggesting that the festival be held on the wrong side of the >Mason-Dixon line. :-) HEY! I just suggested it. Sellam chose it! :-) And as I understand it, it was a very scientific method he used to choose the spot. :-) I never even dreamed he was thinking of New England until he mentioned Providence, so I just jumped in. I figured Boston would be WAY too expensive, especially if Providence was... Besides "annoyingly distant" is relative -- as your annoyance goes down, mine goes up :-) >The plus is the Ararat restaurant on Burncoat Street, which is about the >only thing I can think ofto go to Worcester for. The Higgins Armoury >is pretty cool, though. For eats, Eric's La Pattisserie, Shorah's, The Firehouse Cafe, Aku-Aku (not great, but close to the venue), and Cafe Dolce (EXCELLENT coffee/tea/pastries!) come to mind. For entertainment, try these: EcoTarium, Foothills Theater, Mechanics Hall, and the Worcester Art Museum. For shopping, the Worcester Common Outlets are right next door to the Centrum Center (also a decent fast-food food court) There are many more, but I'm of course biased :-) I will admit however that Providence's Federal Hill area trounces most Worcester restaurants, and you might even get a chance to see the resident criminal^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H mayor Buddy Cianci at one :-) Rich B.

Crays and i432s (Was: RE: Apple 1's was Re: Collection list (jus t for phun))

by CordaAJ＠nswc.navy.mil

I wonder if the shrinkwrapped Cray-1 has one of those shrinkwrap licenses... i.e. "By opening this package you are agreeing to..." :) BTW, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on an i432... a long time ago ('84?) I actually worked on one for a year or so in an attempt to get it to do something useful. I had some success, but was continually hampered by having to run over to another building to use their VAX as a cross-compiler. Now that I have a VAX sitting on my desk at home I imagine I could probably do quite a bit more! It was a unique architecture (quite a bit ahead of it's time) but hampered by the lack of provision for I/O (usually handled by a 8086 co-processor board) and the lack of a native OS based development package. -al- > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave McGuire [mailto:mcguire@neurotica.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 12:12 PM > To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: Apple 1's was Re: Collection list (just for phun) > > > > The likelihood of someone having six Apple 1s is similar to that of > having an i432 dev system, the original 4004 mask set, an ibm 5100 > proto, an EDSAC1, or a shrinkwrapped Cray-1.

GRiDPAD 1910 battery

by bills＠adrenaline.com

I've started messing around with a GRiDPAD 1910 I got a couple of years ago. Works fine on AC using the brick that came with it, but the two battery packs I got with it are dead. They won't take a charge, either in the machine or connected directly to the brick (they have a socket for this). The specs printed on the batteries list 12 volts, 1Ah. I opened one of the packs and the contents look very much like 10 AA batteries. I'm wondering if I can replace the contents of the battery pack with 10 AAs. The specs printed on the AC brick say it produces 17.25 volts at 2A. If I replace the contents of the battery pack with 10 AAs, I figure I'll get around 15 volts. Anybody want to hazard a guess as to whether this will work? Thanks, Bill Sudbrink

Apple 1's was Re: Collection list (just for phun)

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

The likelihood of someone having six Apple 1s is similar to that of having an i432 dev system, the original 4004 mask set, an ibm 5100 proto, an EDSAC1, or a shrinkwrapped Cray-1.

CDP-1802 Final List

by ewy＠southwind.net

Ok, I'm going to close the list for the 1802s for now. Here are the people I have. If you sent me email about this and I've missed you, let me know. Dave McGuire Alex Knight Peter Turnbull Ethan Dicks Mike Haas Robert Cobbins Tony Eros Mike Cheponis Chandra Bajpai Richard A. Cini, Jr. Jeff Hellige Richard Schauer I'll be in touch with each of you individually by email to confirm that you still want the parts and exchange shipping addresses and so forth. I think that personal checks will probably be the easiest thing for me to handle at this point. Some of you have suggested PayPal, and I'll probably look into that in the future, but if I try to set that up right now it'll just delay things further. Sorry I'm not real quick about all this -- I can do real preemptive multitasking, but I've only got an 8-bit data bus to work with, and I have to keep swapping these clunky 8K blocks in and out of my 16-bit address space. Besides, I've got to do all this to the tune of a 1.87 Mhz clock. But I _do_ have a hardware MUL! That's all to say that I'll get it all done, but it may take me a while. If any of you have a real good reason to want to get some chips fast, let me know and I'll push you on the stack last. JCE -- Joel Ewy mailto:ewy@southwind.net http://www2.southwind.net/~ewy

Ram, Great ! Let me know when you find it and I'll send you postage and some blank tapes. I should have checked with the list first. BTW the sun workstations are going out today priority. Thanks for your patience. Brian. Hi Brian I have a copy of it but the problem is I dont know where I put it :-( Also, I missed a couple of minutes from some of the series (I believe the last one), but other than that, it is a great series. I am currently moving so most of the stuff is boxed up. Once I finish moving, I can make a copy for you.

Why Worcester was chosen for VCF East 1.0

Hayes Transet 1000

Today I picked up a Hayes Transet 1000, and I don't know anything about it! It comes in the classic Hayes extruded aluminum case with black plastic caps on either end. It is one of the older products as it uses the 13.5vac wall-wart. The panel at the user end has 8 LED indicators and 3 pushbutton switches. The indicators are numbered and identified from left to right as listed below: 1 PWR 2 RDY 3 MRK 4 RPY 5 A 6 B 7 C 8 D The switches are lettered and identified as follow: X SELECT Y MARK Z REPLAY At the 'business' end there are three D-sub connectors in assition to the 3-pin AC power connector. The D-subs are as follow: 15s PORT P1 9p PORT S1 9s PORT S2 Does anyone have any information about this critter - better yet, documentation - or ever used one? Thanks! - don

Found Fujitsu FANUC/Siemens (CNC?) unit in our basement

by Arno_1983＠gmx.de

Hi folks (especially fellow kids) out there, using your easter holidays to dig through stuff in your parents' basement can be fun...I ended up yesterday with a long-forgotten Fujitsu FANUC/Siemens 19" unit (in a cardboard box with lotsa connectors, replacement fuses and even some paperwork for it) which gives me the general impression of once having been used to control some kind of NC drilling/milling/whatsoever machine. As I'm not very good at describing stuff, I called a friend and we took some shots with his digicam. I can't offer them on a homepage like all the others (haven't got one yet); will it work if I simply send them to the list as an attachment to one of my posts? The thing consists of a metal frame with a PSU as the base unit, a keyboard PCB directly behind the front panel, a bus board (also upright-standing) behind that, and three PCBs plugging into it from the back side. Two cooling fans blow into the casing from the left side. The back side of the PSU held a 4.5V memory backup battery that made a gigantic mess by losing some of its contents while in storage, creating bluish-white crusts on the frame and inside the cardboard box...Except for one corner of the PSU regulator board, the electronics were apparently not affected. There is no front label telling the model or anything (Inside the machine, there is a metal Siemens type label with the number 321/22113 on it), but I remember seeing the thing together with a monitor (also 19" form factor) labeled "SIEMENS Sinumerik ..."; I'm afraid my parents eventually tossed that some time ago. Why didn't I always care about Vintage Computers the way I do nowadays...? The included documentation is: -A4 "Siemens Sinumerik logbook" (empty) -A3 "FANUC mate TG Maintenance Drawing" (from 1979, with notes both in English and Japanese) -A4 "FANUC Customer's Maintenance Instruction (for ulti-mate TG)" -A4 "FANUC MATE TG Data sheet" The last one gives a model (A03B-0402-B001) and a serial number (1883815), October 1980 as date of manufacture, and Siemens AG as customer. According to the rule that the processor "always is the big socketed IC", in this case we deal with an MB8861H, a 40-pin DIL IC in a white ceramic housing. The schematics call it the MPU (=Main Processing Unit?). I am looking forward to your replies, especially as I hope to get a hint on what the system is capable of. Perhaps even enough to persuade my parents into keeping it and looking for a monitor somewhere...

Collection list (just for phun)

by kapteynr＠cboe.com

I have been lurking here for a while, thinking about getting into the field. None of you seem to be in and around Chicago ?? Anyway, I have a nice start with the computers that I bought when they were new. MITS Altair 8800 (early model with the short panel switches) -- this includes a number of hand-made wire-wrapped gadgets, original box (very tattered), original MITS invoices, original assembly manuals (for the kit), and Microsoft's first version of Altair BASIC on paper-tape with the original manual. It all worked about 15 years ago. Fortune Systems 32:16. Fortune attempted to mass-market a 68000-based unix box. A great machine -- but it was introduced a few months before the the IBM PC -- which doomed it. I also have a lot of mac stuff, including an early Mac II; a PowerMac 6100/60, various PCs. I also have a number of old industrial PLCs -- Modicon, Allen Bradley, GE Series One.
