HELL YEAH! AN/UYK-20 BABY! *consults my data files* Other than that its a Univac (obviously), and 16-bit, I don't know much about it... They were used in a few different cool things, for example the original AEGIS system.. I'd love to have one... and know at least one other person that'd probably want one.. how much? heh Will J _________________________________________________________________ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp

Hi, I happened to come across this post and noticed that you were advertising some items for sale. I was wondering if you could let me know what items from that page are still available. Thanks

Reading HP series 80 ROMs

So the above command is equivalent to: MEM 60000:317,10 (the number of bytes is also in octal). So much for compatibility between the various Series 80 models. **vp

Heathkit H-8 Help

by clamrock＠nmtdie.com

Hi, I have a Heathkit H-8 of which I know nothing about. I am curious to play with this machine a bit but really I don't know where to start. I believe all I have for the H-8 is the computer - the part with the keypad & led display & a bunch of cables. What can I do with this? How can I test to see if it even works? Any ideas where I could go to find more information about it? Thanks all! Chris Lamrock

OT: Shipping a large, heavy crate

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find the answer in the archives. I need to ship a large, heavy crate (about 30" x 12" x 72" and around 200-250 pounds) in the US. What company would you recommend? Please answer off-list, directly to my email. Thanks, Robert A. Feldman robert_feldman(a)jdedwards.com

Osbourne 1 problems

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I have an O1 Tech Ref manual, from which I can send you info that might be useful. I'm busy this week, so won't be until next, though. One thing to check is the video shunt on the front of the unit. It takes the video signals and power from the bottom of the board and passes them to the top, where they go to the monitor. If the contacts on the shunt are oxidized, you could have video problems. The pinout of the edge connector is (numbered right to left, odd on top, even on bottom): (19 ... 1) (20 ... 2) 2 Ground 4 Brightness High ---> 3 on top 6 Brightness Low ---> 5 on top 8 Brightness Arm ---> 7 on top 10 Ground 12 Horiz Sync 14 +12 volts 16 Video Out 18 Vert Sync 20 Ground 3 and 7 go to the outsides of a 100K brightness pot, 5 to the wiper of the pot. Video out and one of the grounds go to a 500 ohm contrast pot. Bob -----Original Message----- From: Sark [mailto:ian_primus@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 2:08 PM To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Osbourne 1 problems I recently accquired an Osbourne 1 computer. I turned it on and it seemed to work, I was able to boot BASIC off of a floppy and I wrote a couple little programs, (print hello world, count to ten, and count forever, stuff like that). The picture on the screen was kinda dark in spots, and while the computer was counting, it flickered to a very dark and barely readable, then it went black all together. I tried turning up the brightness and contrast controls, the only one that makes any change on the screen is the brightness control. I can see the rasters when the brightness is up all the way, but the contrast control has no effect. The computer seems to still work though, I can turn it on, then hit enter and it will boot from the floppy. Previously, when it was working, I noticed the screen flicker when the computer accessed the floppy drive. My guess is that there is something wrong with the power supply. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really like to get my Osbourne working again, it's a really cool little computer. Thanks! Ian Primus ian_primus(a)yahoo.com

History Channel - The Internet: Behind the Web

by kees.stravers＠iae.nl

Hi, I guess it would be too much to hope that some one has recorded this program and can capture it to an avi file, so that us foreigners who don't have this channel can see it too? It seems very interesting! Kees. At 11:55 10-10-02 -0400, you wrote: >This show had the most footage of Imlac's I've ever seen. A really >great program! > >David A.

apple - treasure or trash?

by jwest＠imail.kwcorp.com

I just got handed a huge binder, that was getting ready to be pitched during our datacenter move. Apple "Supportools Reference Guide", including product data sheets, system configuration, software, and support. Got sections on apples, macs, A/UX, etc. Offered for trade...
