Are there any IBM 1130 aficionados out there? Anyone who has one (besides
bruce(a)bigoakhill.com, whose 1130 I'll be inheriting)? Anyone with software
archives perhaps? Emulators, or interest in developing one? Oh -- and where
this day and age does one go to find an 029 keypunch? These aren't
showing up on ebay in any great quantity, for some reason.

Hi...
I own an MiceoVax 3300
its a B125/KA640 and a R215F modul.
Sadly I have no manual which describe the hardware and so no knowledge howto connect to a
terminal.
Is there anyone who can help or am I the loneliest creature of the word ?

Hi.
I've got a Piiceon 65 serial terminal here which I could use some
information on.
Specifically, how one can access the setup routines.
Anybody know this or have docs?
ok

This seems unusual enough and relevant enough to this list to give people a
heads up. At least, I've never seen paper tape stuff like this for sale.
No, I'm not the seller, nor do I know them. Keep your anti-eBay histrionics
to yourself; there's enough of that childish rubbish on the list already.

You are bidding on a punch/splicer and a box of 25 tapes,
Brand new in the original box, never used.

You are bidding on 15 boxes (100/box) total of 1500 one inch wide by 1.25
long 13 code, feed holes punched out, splicing patches, clear, new in boxes,
and very sticky (when applied to paper the paper comes off before the
adhesion fails). Retail value is $15.00/100 ($150.00). I do not use these
any more.

Now I am not much of an Apple collector (though I'd pick up an Apple I
if I saw it cheap!), but I did find a Franklin ACE 100. This is the
machine which Apple sued Franklin over regarding their directly copying
the Apple ROMs (changing only the power on message). IIRC, Franklin
admitted the copying, saying that Apple's ROMs were too difficult to
reverse-engineer easily!
It looks like a bigger, uglier Franklin ACE 1000. Does anyone else have
one of these beasties?

I don't know much about the construction of the Infowindow
terminals, but I do know that they are useful for connecting
to AS/400s. (Or at least there is a model of them that is
used for AS/400s.)
The twinax cable is probably for direct connection to an
AS/400, as a terminal or as the primary console.
If you need more information, let me know - I can dig it
up. (I work for IBM, at the home of the AS/400.)

OK, I'm having trouble finding the desired documentation (O'Reilly's
_Managing UUCP and Usenet_ book) and remembering how to configure the
HDB-like UUCP that I think stockholm is running. So please check me
on this....
UUCP over dialup works by logging into the remote system, with the
user on the remote system set up with uucico as its shell. So uucp
would dial up and log in, and login would exec uucico (as the shell)
so that the caller would have something to which it could speak uucp.
uucpd continues to follow this model, only it issues the login: and
Password: prompts, checks to make sure the supplied user name has
uucico as its shell, and execs uucico after successful authentication.
Cameron has (privately?) expressed an interest in not having to set up
a user and password for each of his UUCP peers. To the best of my
knowledge, the only UUCP implementation that permits this (by way of
supporting its own user/password table that is independent of
/etc/passwd) is Taylor UUCP. Or is it possible (and safe) to set up
HDB UUCP such that all UUCP peer login names map to the same uid/gid?
Taylor UUCP is GPL'd open source, is used on FreeBSD and probably
other free Unixes, and will probably build for other Unixes (I used to
run it on a Sun 3/60 with SunOS 4.1.1) but I can understand the desire
to use the vendor-provided UUCP implementation on classic iron.

Sort of. CHAC has one, and someone not-on-the-list and I were ogling
it a couple or three months ago before we got sidetracked by our day
jobs.
Summary: 1131 processor w/8KW, 1442 card read/punch, 1132 printer,
several disc cartridges, several drawers full of card decks, about
three boxes of manuals.
Among other things, this got me interested enough to track down and
read parts of _Programming the IBM 1130 and 1800_ by Robert K. Louden,
which goes into enough detail about the 1130/1800 instruction set(s)
that I think a simulation of the CPU would not be very hard.
No idea where to go to find an 029. They felt antiquated to some of
us in college in 1981, and the ones I knew about then appeared to be
leased so vanished promptly when no longer needed. Then the college
found some 026s for the EE students to use.
On the other hand, I think that in 1990 I saw some things that looked
like 029s, but were controlled and used as punches by an attached
computer. These were in a GE plant in Fort Wayne, IN.

Paul Pierce has an IBM 1130. He is planning on using it in his Museum project
when he retires. Here is a link to his computer collection.
<A HREF="http://www.piercefuller.com/collect/index.html">Paul Pierce's Computer Collection
http://www.piercefuller.com/collect/index.html</A>
It came from Clatsop Community College and he outbid me when it was put up
for bid in 1979? IIRC.
I have a scrap friend who has about 4 or 5 punch card units in Portland,
Oregon. I believe he has a couple that are complete. I don't think any are
029s, I think at least one is a 129 and three others may be from compatible
manufactures. I can find more information out if you are interested. They
would have to be shipped freight but he is equipped to do that.
Please contact me off list at Whoagiii(a)aol.com if you are interested. This
time of the year is rather busy and I don't read all of the list and may miss
a reply.

Not specifically Intergraph, I'm afraid, but I can tell you about two
common pinouts used for 13W3 connectors: that used by Sun, and that used by
SGI. They both put R,G,B on the same coax connections, but they differ in
the use of the other ten pins for monitor type sense and separate sync.
Here are the pinouts:
Pin-Layout of a 13W3 (female end): () denotes 75-ohm mini-coax
() 1 2 3 4 5 () ()
6 7 8 9 10
13W3-SGI
================
pin A1 - Red/R-Gnd
pin A2 - Green/G-Gnd
pin A3 - Blue/B-Gnd
pin 1 - monitor type 3
pin 2 - monitor type 0
pin 3 - Composite Sync
pin 4 - H Drive
pin 5 - V Drive
pin 6 - monitor type 1
pin 7 - monitor type 2
pin 8 - digital gnd
pin 9 - digital gnd
pin 10 - sync 2
Pin 10 is groound on some SGI machines.
13W3-SUN
================
pin A1 - Red/R-Gnd
pin A2 - Green/G-Gnd
pin A3 - Blue/B-Gnd
pin 1 - n/c
pin 2 - n/c
pin 3 - sense 2
pin 4 - sense ret
pin 5 - Composite Sync
pin 6 - n/c
pin 7 - n/c
pin 8 - sense 1
pin 9 - sense 0
pin 10 - C-Sync ret
Suns most often use composite sync (if not sync-on-green) whereas SGIs most
often use separate H and V sync (if not sync-on-green). SGI cables tend to
have only as many pins as are needed for the machine the cable was sold
for; Sun cables usually have all pins wired. For those few Suns that do
use separate syncs, H is pin 6 and V is pin 7.
I believe some VAXstations use 13W3 connectors -- anybody got the pinout
for those?
