Hi All
I have accumulated some miscellaneous cards from various sources and would like to get some imput from anyone who can identify anything below. I intend to use whatever I can and offer others for swap on this list for those I cannot use. I am interested in memory for my VAXserver 3100 and other equipment's and parts for DEC, HP and IBM workstation, but is open to anything you have available. If you recognize any equipment, please say briefly what it is and what it is used for and with what equipment.
Note: Wherever you see NUBUS/VMEBUS or local bus,is because I do not know the difference, but by describing it like this I may help you recognize it

Depends on the installation. I worked at a facility that burned
them. Or tried to, anyway.

In a box of Apple II equipment from a school I found three of what I
understand to be Infocipher receivers. Is anbody familiar with these?
Do any services still exist that use them? I read the devices
communicate at 9600bps and the one is even labeled "Desk Top Data
Demodulator". Are these really much different than cable modems?
Thanks,
Tom

Actually, they use acid. :-(

Here's an email I received today that someone here on the list might be
interested in. He included a photograph, which I've not attached since it's
being forwarded to everyone. Please reply to the original sender.

My corrected ost will have arrived about 15 minutes before
you see this reply...
This mailing list is entirely too slow. I need to be able to
post a correction to myself before everyone else does!

This is correct, my previous post not (re the architecture).

Many of the later-model version of what was originally called
the Cyber 170 series (it got renamed later) are still running
and under support contract.
It appears that, at least as recently as August 2000, a Cyber
170 driving the Early Warning Radar System at Cape Cod Air
Force Station, known as "Pave Paws", was still in operation.
Discussions were going on at that time w/r/t its replacement.
This machine, sans media, disks, etc, might be a good candidate
for a future rescue (since it's military, they may want to
wipe the disks using hammers).
