Thanks, I've bookmarked that so I have (almost) no excuse now!

Oops, I meant DU686 (though a DQ is much the same thing, only for QBus
instead of Unibus).

It is possible that it is 760K, I haven't looked up the model number on the
floppy drive in my 3068EP yet, I was just guessing due to the lateness of
the machine..

The auctions for Kevin Mitnick's two laptops have closed. One reached $15,200 and the other reached $14,100! The $14,100 didn't reach the minimum! That's got to be some kind of records for laptops! There's something very odd going on with the first auction, the winner and the seller both have -1 feedback ratings!

The all time classic scope has to be the Tektronix 465. It's the right vintage to go with most of the classic computers too.

A listmember and I met today, in a city in the middle of the USA, to
exchange some hardware. If you cctech-ers are wondering why you haven't got
list mail in several days, well, now you know the rest of the story. :-)
He got a Stardent deskside that I originally rescued from a Austin, Texas
auction block. He also got a complete Xerox 8010 of his that I had
transported and stored for him from elsewhere in the country.
I got a nearly-complete Symbolics 3650 system and a DEC Computer Lab. I've
always thought that LISP was an entertaining language, and that a LISP
machine would be equally entertaining (maybe bewildering). Now maybe I'll be
able to find out. Oh gods, that thing was heavy! But at least it came with a
very cool (albeit later-model) space cadet keyboard, like the one pictured
here:

DQ130 is a Dilog controller providing a Pertec 2x50-way interface for a
tape drive. I guess the other is a QIC-02 or similar interface. I always
get the QIC numbers confused. Which are the interface descriptions and
which are the tape formats?

I spotted a few cards at the local dismantlers the other day, and I
wonder what they are:
- dual-height (2 card edge fingers) with a sticker reading " MTI Model
MSV05B" and a 50-pin header at the outside edge of the card
- quaad-height with a silk-screened Dilog logo and DQ130 model number
and 2 50-pin headers at teh ccard edge.
What are these?? They had several of each of these, condition unknown
(they were already pulled out of the machines), which I asked them to
put away for me for a few days. Does anybody need any?
One machine I also spotted there was labelled VaxStation II / GPX in a
BA123 enclosure. I"m not interested in the machine, but if anyone wants
cards from it, let me know....
