Dave McGuire and I had the good fortune of being able to rescue that lot of
PDP-11/70 kit from Williamsport, PA. in there was a pile of stuff that none
of us really want or need. one of those things is 6 RA81 disks. they are
currently arranged in 3 DEC short racks.
come take them, they are under a tarp in my driveway. come before it snows.

Can anyone tell me what this card is for? <http://home.cfl.rr.com/rigdon14/apple/what.jpg>. There's a logo on it but it's so stylized that I can't read it. It looks like "WcAIR". The ribbon cable on it is about four foot long and has a DB-15F connector at the far end. The lage IC on it is an AMI 8038GK. I'm not sure what it is but most of the 8038s that I could find a listing on are octal bus transcievers. I couldn't find a listing for the AMI part so it may be something very different. Most of the ICs have 1984 date codes.

Tried my Pet 2001 series today and no display? If I turn the bright up all
the way I can see white broken lines across the screen. The built in
cassette players comes on fine. Anyone have clue where to begin? thanks

Umm, all I have to say is: Clue-by-four! Kinda reminds me of an engine I saw
where the owner had welded a connecting rod back together... Oddly enough,
it broke... Stupid people shouldn't breed...

Damnit, why must you be sooo far away? I could use the drives, and certainly
I could use the racks (I have a DECDatasystem sans rack as the owner had
made the rack into a toolbench)

I am sure I will be *so* flamed for this, but; Terminal Server is a pretty
cool thing, our network ran it for years, glitch-free... Now its 2000... I
just wish I could find the EISA config floppy to load NT on my AXP 150s,
always wanted NT alpha.

Yeah the 2nd one does rather look like a V.35 cable, often used with
CSU/DSUs and similar crud..

I walked into one of the local thrifts today and spotted a cool looking
terminal with Data General label on the front but on the back it said Wyse
model WinTerm 2500-TP. It was priced at $21.12 but I was able to get it for
$12.21 plus tax. I just hooked up a Compaq KB and mouse to it and it seems
to work fine. I went into several menus it has on it and it's setup for 256
colors looks real sharp.
I also picked up a Commodore model 2002 Digital/Analog RGB monitor have not
tested it yet but it was only $1.
Other items today were Wyse 60 and a model 160 have not tested either yet
but they also were $1 each; Apple III Business Graphics manual and software
for 25 cents; Sharp Pocket Computer carrying case and Printer/Cassette
interface model CE-122 but no computer was with it but it was free; another
Turbografx16 with 1 game cartridge and power adapter.
My strange picks for today were a these hand held game consoles; Space
Revenger by Tronica (1983), MARIO'S Cement Factory by Nintendo (1983),
Donkey Kong JR. by Nintendo (1982), and Backjack 21 by RADIC:.
I have this box, slightly smaller than a mini-tower, with
video adjustment pots on the front, a wad of ports on the
back (external disk, laser disc ports (serial), touch screen
port, and more), several proprietary boards and a 3.5" ST506/ST412
disk inside. It *may* have come with my Sony LPD-1500. I know
the Sony came from a pallet lot of interactive kiosks from
the "Pharmacy Network" (the disc had 6+ retail drugstore names,
and you told the kiosk where it was and it played commercials,
interactive games, etc., tuned to your pharmacy).
I have found *no* info on Google about it. ISTR it was manufactured
right here in Columbus, OH, but I have never heard of it before
running across it. Should be from the 1989-1992 timeframe, give or
take 3 years.
Whether or not it came from the Sony, it seems to be an interactive
laser disc controller.
Any clues?
Thanks,
-ethan
