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. -Frank McConnell

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?

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.

PDP 11/84 faceplate sticker available

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

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 :-) --Chuck

PS/2 Speech Adapter

by rcini＠optonline.net

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).

Trade for PDP8a/RC25

by brian.roth＠firstniagarabank.com

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.

Tango Schematic capture, PCB layout and autorouting programs

by clint.millett＠Kayden.com

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. Clinton M.
