"Adaptec" PDP8e on Ebay

by broth＠heathers.stdio.com

Its interesting to note that of the three PDP8e's that have sold on Ebay this past few months, the winning bids have dropped from close to $2000 to just under $900. Brian. -- Brian Roth - System Administrator www.webwirz.com - Old Computer Repository Preoccupation is my main occupation.....

PMC MicroMate

I just moved and things are difficult to find, but I did find my MicroMate, just couldn't find the user manual. The external disk interface is (I assume) pretty standard, consists of a PC board edge with 34 plated fingers (17 on each side) spaced .1" on center. The MicroMate system disk has a cool utility that allows you to configure any of the external drives as one of about a half dozen different CP/M disk formats. The details escape me until I find that user manual.

Then they came out with the PMC-81. As I understand it, these were sold around the world with names like Color Genie, TRZ-80, etc. Then Tandy sued them. In what was the first case of firmware infringement, Tandy said that the keyboard input routine was a little too close to the original (or words to that effect). http://www.slwk.com/papers/paper3.htm That is when they came out with the PMC-101 "MicroMate". I have all three machines.

Geek Radio Networks (was: Re: Finds... (mainly Heathkit 3400))

by mbg＠world.std.com

>Have you seen http://www.irlp.net/? They are linking local amature radio >networks together using the internet as a backbone. Not 20 or 40 meter, >but interesting non-the-less. Heard about it for the first time today, talking with drive-time friends on the local 2m repeater. One person was quite enthused, but others were somewhat hesitant -- "It's not real ham radio, since you use the internet for the real hop" and "Why not just use your cell phone, it's no different." I checked out their web site, and am bothered by the fact that they install the software (they do) after you have installed linux on your system... I asked if the source is or would be available at some point and haven't gotten a response... I don't install any software on my linux box that I can't get the source for... and I certainly will NOT allow someone else to install binaries on it...

FW: Computer collection

by rcini＠optonline.net

Hello, all: I was contacted by this chap in NW London about a boat load of classic inventory. I've put my bid in for certain items already. Contact Gen directly for more specifics. Rich -----Original Message----- From: gen [mailto:gen@webline.plus.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 4:43 PM To: Cini, Richard Subject: Re: Computer collection Hi Rich Thanks for your reply. I've included a complete list here in case there is anything at all you're interested in... As I said before, I have a substantial collection of 'antique' computers, mostly 'first editions' of systems such as Apple, IBM, Sirius, Apricot, Macintosh, Epson, etc. These are not old and used, they are mostly in pristine condition in their original boxes with manuals, software and literature. The only reason I'm selling is that I have to move house and will not have enough room any more. If you are interested please let me know. I am open to offers for the whole collection but, realistically, I expect people will be more interested in one or several individual items. In that case I'll probably hang on to some things. Please make me an offer on any items you are interested in . You would need to collect or pay for carriage from NW London (UK). Please also pass this on to anyone else who may be interested.

General Robotics Micro? GRC 11/X3

Any info always appreciated. > Craig GR made a few cards for QBus systems. I have a GR "RX02" which has a 50-pin Shugart interface and works with ordinary 8" drives. It's a dual-height card. It's also capable of handling dual-sided "RX03" format, and I think up to 4 drives. There's an on-board bootstrap option. Plessey made (badged?) a very similar (if not identical) board. I think I have the manual somewhere. These boards were quite popular. I've seen one built into a single 8" drive case with an M8186 (11/23) and an M8047 (MXV11-A). I also have a GR DHV11, 16-channel QBus multiplexer, with channel zero mapped to the console address. It's a quad-high and needs a special 3U-high distribution box, which has (IIRC) three stacked PCBs containing a Z80 and some "stuff". Unfortunately mine is faulty :-( I don't have any docs, all I know is that it appears at addresses 160020-160036 (DHV11) and 170500-170502 (DM11 multiplexer) as well as 177560-177566 (console). According to my register dump, that is. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
