I filled it in about 2 weeks ago, when I saw it allowed overseas members, and got a reply a few days ago to say I wasn't eligible (not for basic membership, anyway). So someone does read them, they just take a while to do anything (just over a week in my case). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

No, that's the problem :-) DEC sometimes used odd/even numbers and someties even/odd, so I can't tell. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Although mandy places do. And here, they're required to erase all software, and apparently any docs or disks also get chucked before the item is put up for surplus sale. - John

ADM style (and Lynwood and MICROSCRIBE) [was: ADM = ?]

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Hey, I *like* the TeleVideo 910 much more.. Better color choice, I think. Not to mention its a damn sight more reliable : ) But my favorite all-in-one terminal has to be the cute little TeleVideo that also has a phone built into it (at least that seems right). I'm still kicking myself for the clean-up we did when was 17 and not interested in old computers yet.. pitched 4 of em, and 2 of those Televideo PCs, and all kinds of god-knows-what else.. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Fwd: Just relisted DATA GENERAL DG Mdl 10 Computer System.

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

Hi, Here is a Data General modle 10 that I just for sale on E-bay. The owner says that it has a dead CPU but it looks VERY complete and includes the original software disks and manuals. It also has four terminals with it. It looks like a nice item for a DEC collector (I'm not.) If someone buys it and wants to try and get it running again I also have a model 10 that I'll sell that you can use for parts. I don't know if mine works but it looks complete except for the hard drive is missing.

Or perhaps a dead TK50Z-GA that you might > consider parting with the ROMs?? It's one EPROM, number 23-261E6. It's a 27C256. Still on the subject of DEC ROMs, as some list members know, I keep images of the ones from boards I have, "just in case", and I have a puzzle. What are 23-398E4 and 23-399E4 from? And another: what ROM goes with 23-116E5 to make the pair?

DEC TK50Z-FA to -GA

by rod.young＠wd.gc.ca

Does anyone have the necessary ?ROMs? to upgrade a DEC TK50Z-FA tape drive to the TK50Z-GA? Or perhaps a dead TK50Z-GA that you might consider parting with the ROMs?? The -FA model apparently *only* works on the MicroVAX 2000, and I'd like to connect and use this drive on my Vaxstation 3100/76 SPX. On a similar note, I'm also looking for the 68pin - 50pin external SCSI cable to connect the MicroVAX to an external SCSI device. thanks rod rod.young(a)wd.gc.ca
