The presumably vintage cover from the Horizon that sits in my office
(yes, Fred, the one I got from you) is about 7/16". For all I know
that could be 3/8" or 1/2" in plywood inches.
And yes, NorthStar did make the Horizon with a metal cover too. I
think it's a metal cover on the same underlying frame.

I have an old serial paper tape reader which runs with
20ma and would like to use it to archive all my pdp-11
(and some pdp-8) paper tapes. But I need a converter...
Can anyone help? Any pointers to a simple schematic?

Hello UK readers,
The following two messages are, in reverse order, an original
posting in alt.folklore.computers and Trevor's reply to my query about
disks for the Lexitron. I include the first message to show some sense
of urgency and the second for equipment information.
Please reply directly to Trevor, not me.

Hi Don,
Thanks for you reply, unfortunately I don't have the disks, sorry.
Do you know of anyone this side of the pond who might be interested?, only
I'm moving house soon and will have to take the machines to the local tip if
I can't find a home for them - which I can't bear to do.
Regards
Trevor

Hi,
I have the following computers / word processors, for which I would like to
find good homes (UK):-
Lexitron VT1303,
NBI System 3000,
NBI System 4000s
anyone interested? They were in working order when they were given to me 10
years ago, can't vouch for them now though.

Don't know how I ended up with this but I've got a brand new, never used
PDP 11/84 front panel sticker. It has the PDP 11/84 legend and the
switch legend on it. If anyone is restoring an 11/84 and could use this
let me know. Its free but you must have a PDP 11/84 :-)

Hello, all:
I picked up (for $5) a brand new PS/2 speech adapter. It's a long ISA card
with an external speaker box. Oddly, there is no software included at all.
Does anyone know how this thing was supposed to be used. It has a TI
speech/DSP chip (not a GI or NS chip).

I need to find a limited function front panel for a PDP8a and a working RC25. The internal drive on the RC25 does not have to be functional as most are not but the external cart drive needs to be functional. I have some older VAXstations that I would be willing to trade.

Hi Joe,
I've been using this program for years. I use it almost everyday and
find that it is very simple to use (but I have been using it since 1988
so it is now natural to me).
If you can find a flatbed plotter, you can actually put a resist pen
into the pen holder and plot PCB's right at your desk. I have done lots
of boards this way for prototyping purposes and have saved a bundle in
PCB prototyping costs.
