Most of my DEC equipment has a serial number beginning
GA or AY. I hope that I am correct in assuming that this
means the equipment was built in Ayr (Scotland) or in
Galway (Ireland). However, I have a relatively early MicroVAX-II
which started life in the third quarter
of 1985. As I have a lot of documentary evidence about
this computer, I'm writing it's biography but I don't know
where it was "born". Its serial number starts with BT. I've googled
about but can't find the information - anyone know?

In going thru the old FIDO RB archive I found a msg from a BBS sysop
saying he had received the entire DECUS librairie on MAG tape. Does
anyone on the list have this or is it available somewhere ?

I've got a brand new AT&T 458 Daisy Wheel printer, that doesn't have a daisy
wheel. A quick glance at Google doesn't turn up anyone who sells apropos
wheels. There is a theory that the 458 is a rebadged Qume. Does anyone
know where to get 458 wheels, or what would be an equivalent printer that I
could find wheels for?

In going thru an old FIDO DEC Rainbow archive I ran across this post. It
seems all the present fuss about the wonders of mobile computing is not
so new.

Subject: RE: CELLULAR CONNECTION
From: RON KRITZMAN
Part of the problem with cellular modem connection is
that most telephone modems aren't particularly noise
resistant. The modems ($$$$$$$) made for cellular
incluse their own error correction, but most are
proprietary.
There is a company in Skokie, IL called "Tellular"
which makes a standard RJ-11 interface for cellular
phones. Basicly it plugs in in place of the handset
and gives you a standard modular jack. Plug a phone in
there and pick it up... you hear dial tone. Dial, and
it decodes the touch tones and makes them into what the
cellular unit wants to see. Instant fake "real"
phone. Great for stuff like portable pay phones, etc.
(No, I don't work for them.) As to the portable
(hand held) with an "RJ" its proably a ways off. Most
cellular portables are already "ten lbs. of s*** it a 5
lb. bag" as it is.

While digging around for some manuals I need I came across these two
calculators:
HP 28S Advanced Scientific Calculator not tested yet.
Casio fx-7700GB Power Graphic with Program-Link. It's missing slide-on cover
and needs to be tested.
It would help if www.vintage.org would respond... I've not been
able to connect for quite some time... I've tried each time I've
seen your message and I get nothing...

If you can't find anything else, the NatInst doc on the NAT9914 might be
helpful: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320775.pdf
The NatInst website says the NAT9914 is 100% register and pin compatible
with the TMS9914A in its default power up 9914 mode, so there should be some
info in the NAT9914 doc that also applies to the TMS9914A.

410x's and 410xA's can do both SCSI (RZ) and DSSI (RF), yes.
