TI 8002A...

by jweder＠telusplanet.com

Hi all... I just discovered, out in our dusty storage area, a TI 8002A microprocessor. It consists of three units, a main processor with several switches and two boxes with 2 8" floppy drives in each. The main unit has an EPROM programming socket on the front, and according to the boss it was apparently meant for 8080 RTU system development. Anybody know anything about these beasties? Joel A.

Helett Packard 2647A Graphics Terminal

Oh yeah, how to open it: The terminal is sort of a clamshell design, with the CRT and its supporting circuitry in the top half, and the power supply and most of the smarts in the bottom half. The clamshell is hinged at the back. Along each of the left and right sides, there's sort of a horizontal slot where the halves of the clamshell meet. Inside this slot, about 3/4 of the way toward the front, is a vertical slot. You need to find something skinny, stiff, and flat, and push it into that vertical slot. What you're really trying to push is a catch that's just inside the slot on the top half of the clamshell. When you release both catches the top half of the clamshell should lift up from the front. If you have the manuals there may be a little manila envelope with them containing two flat metal "keys". They're the doohickeys that you're supposed to use to open the terminal. -Frank McConnell

Boom cars (ot for sure...)

by brian.roth＠firstniagarabank.com

Great stories and suggestions but I like Marvins transmitter idea the best. My son and I will work on it this weekend. He has a big sound tube in his car. Since he was raised to respect other peoples rights he just uses it to enhance the quality of sound in his car. Now it will be our laboratory. I had an idiot behind me halfway to work today. He just looked around to see who he was pissing off as he drove. I can't wait to get a working prototype. For all those that think I am a sound prude, I am not. Music is my second life. I play guitar and listen to everything from the LA guitar quartet to Social Distortion. I like to listen to my music but I don't feel I should make others listen to it against their will. Let the jamming begin..... Brian. Brian Roth Network Services First Niagara Bank (716) 625-7500 X2186 Brian.Roth(a)FirstNiagaraBank.com

preserving / ressurecting old docs?

by djg＠drs-esg.com

From: Bill Bradford <mrbill(a)mrbill.net> >I'm scanning them in as 100dpi grayscale GIFs, then I will convert to >other format(s) and eventually to PDF. Scanning directly to PDF with >HP's software produces horrible output with compression artifacts. I would really recommend higher resolution. 100 DPI is the lowest resolution fax quality. Being grey scale will help readability on the screen but printing probably won't work well on most printers. I recommend 300 DPI black and white (line art) minimum for most of the pages. For the pictures a grey scale scan makes the pictures better and if you have software which allows mixing them that would work well and allow for the smallest file size. The black and white compress well when you use group 4 tiff. PDF also supports that compression format which is how I do the on the fly conversion to PDF on my site, it just adds PDF wrapper to the tiff. For smallest size the tiff should be singe strip. You will need to adjust the threshold setting for best results. Also when you are looking at artifacts from grey scale scanning view at 1:1 scale so you aren't seeing the artifacts from the rescaling to screen resolution. It can make it look much worse than the scanned artifacts from the screen printing actually are. Since what I am using doesn't allow mixing I have just been doing the black and white scans and seperatly storing grey scale scans for future. I have also switched to doing the scans at 600 DPI for best quality and making 300 DPI copies available for people with slower links. Hopefully these will be around to when the size doesn't matter. I did the cut the pages out of the binding for the handbook I scanned since it was falling apart. I have found that I can't get good scans on my scanner otherwise since the pages are still too bent so the scans are warped. I know that this is a lot of personal preferences and their isn't one best way. Email me if you wish any more information on how I have been scanning.

Where can I find info on this beast ? (alright, *4* questions > then....) HP offered several serial cables for the 264X terminal, but if it's got a DB25 plug then there is a good chance that it wants to be plugged into a modem or other DCE-pinout device. That means you will need a null-modem cable to plug it into an IBM PC serial port. -Frank McConnell

I too was going to suggest Doug Jones, but Ethan beat me to it. however, if you read Doug's pages, you'll see he thought carefully about this, consulted conservators, and actually describes very carefully how and why to minimise the historical loss. http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/book/index.html -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
