Anyone have a 7 track 1/2 head assembly?

The old DECer Henry W. Miller is checking on a set for me... if he comes through, they're yours. As long as my 7-track conversions manage to "float to the top"... It may be months before I hear back from him, though, so don't put all your eggs in *my* basket...

Plato terminal

I was granted access as a "distinguished visiting scholar". But if you'd like, I'll enquire as to cost of access... maybe it's affordable (i.e. $20/month). Regards, -dq

Anyone have a 7 track 1/2 head assembly?

by aek＠spies.com

I may be getting some 7 track tapes of some SDS 940 software, and I'm having one heck of a time finding a 7 track drive in any condition to build an analog-level tape reader. Does anyone have a 7 track head assembly that they can spare?

Quicken/DOS books

by rhblake＠bigfoot.com

Have a set of 6 books for the older DOS version of Quicken to find a new home for. Here's what's in it: User's Manual for IBM (version unspecified) User's Manual for IBM/DOS (version unspecified) Upgrade Manual for IBM/DOS (v 5.0) User's Guide for IBM/DOS (v 6.0) Business Uses Guide for IBM/DOS (v6.0) Que "Using Quicken 5" for IBM/DOS All in pretty decent shape except first one has tape across spine but otherwise a useful book. If no takers by Monday 7/16 the "trashman taketh"....the cost below is basically for my time for packing. How much? $5.00 for all 6 plus the applicable cheapest route mailing. Weight 10 lbs from zip 42726. Prefer to use either ebay's Billpoint ot PayPal but can also take money order or check (has to clear 5-10 days). US and Canada only.

QBUS Board ID?

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

Ok, here is a stump the audience question. I've got a board that I found that was made by SMS. Its dual width, has a 50 pin header that is terminated like a SCSI connection. A boatload of chips one big one marked N8X305N A SKS8427 CT (hand lettered #4 on it) and it is a 50! pin DIP (extra wide like 900 mils vs 300 or 600) There are a bunch of PALs with various serial numbers on them, 3 LEDs on the card edge (with the 50 pin connector) and a few jumpers, one connector marked "P4" (26 pin 2 x 13, .1" spacing) about mid-board. On the back it is marked: ProG Assy: 1002049-0001 Assy No: 0004356-0001 Serial Num TS 1668 Anyway, if I plug it into my trusty VAX and do a SHO DEV it doesn't appear, but if I do a SHO QBUS I've now got what the system thinks is a TSV05 installed. This makes me wonder if it isn't a board that one can connect to a SCSI Cipher tape and get TSV05 emulation out of it. Anyone heard of this thing? --Chuck
