latest find...

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

A Mattel Aquarius. It's not something that I would have normally picked up, but it seemed to be reasonalbly complete, CPU, mini expander, printer, tape deck, RAM cart, and a half-dozen carts. Most in original boxes, if not packing. After reading all the "coming soon"'s and "under development"'s, all I'm really missing is a few carts and the 16K RAM cart (the one I've got is 4K). Alas, the thrift store I found it at has succumbed to the parts-are-worth-more-than-the-whole, and each piece was priced seperately. I haven't added up the total yet. :/ Bob

Favorite terminal At&t/WE Blit

by ken＠seefried.com

> I'd love to have one, never seen a live one - but > it was one of the experimental 68k based terms > brought to you by the makers of Unix(tm) ;) While the BLIT was experimental (and contrary to other posters was 68000-based), it was commercialized as the AT&T 5620. It was the 5620 that was based on a WE processor. We had tons of them at Georgia Tech. The successor terminals (the 630 & 730) switched back to the 68000.

Shameless Plug: More auction stuff

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

I've just posted some more DEC'ish stuff on E-pay in the 'Other hardware; vintage; other' category (#1247). Included among these is a couple of DHV11 serial mux's, a dual-height extender, four M9047 grant cards, and some TK50 tape controllers. All cheap opening bids, no reserve on anything. Also, as a reminder; My existing auctions for such things as engineering drawings for the PDP11-05S/11-10S, the TU60, and the MF11-U, all end this evening between 18:31 and 18:56 PDT. If interested, pop over to Ebay and use the 'Search by seller' feature to scan for seller ID 'bftbell' (sans quotes, of course). Thanks for putting up with my occasional ads. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- http://www.bluefeathertech.com ARS KC7GR (Formerly WD6EOS) since 12-77 -- kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com "I'll get a life when someone demonstrates that it would be superior to what I have now..."

Favorite terminal

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

>what is THE favorite terminal you folks here use ? >Now I have all this nice VTxxx I ever wanted, but they always >miss the graphics capabilities, I had on my terminals in the office. >(not talking about GUIs, just few nice lines on the screen) I have a very clean H19 terminal, with a graphics board by Northwest Technical Products (I think -- it's at home, and I'm supposed to be working :-)). I even have the manuals for the H19 and the graphics board. The board allows for some nice graphics capabilities, and 132 column text (SWEEEEEEEET in WordStar, though hard on the eyes). I use it as a terminal for my Compupro S-100 system ... Still works just fine, and it's clean and neat. A nice terminal....

Favorite terminal

I really like the VT420, and my VT525 is nice, too, but for my emergency console I've got an LT320 plugged in to my DECserver 90M. The LT320 is nice and small, and I've got the table-mounted extension arm so it is out of the way. The LT320 is a third-party plasma terminal. There are MMJ and DB25 serial connectors, and LK201/401-compatible and AT-compatible keyboard connectors. I use an LK401 with mine. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Enthusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/
