Hi,
I'm a univesity student, studiying electrical engineering, in Montreal,
Canada. I've been salvaging many old computer parts and I've come
accross some JC80 parts. Would you be interested ?
Here is what I have. Two JC80 Loop repeater, they appear to be in
working condition except the batteries are dead. They would need new
external or internal batteries to be fully functionnal. They power up on
120V. I couldn't veryfy them further.
Trying to check what it was, I went to the University Heating plant and
they showed me the whole JC80 sytem, now taken out of service, and
stored for quite some time. It on a pallet, in a very relative
condition, but it doesn't appear to be too beaten up (no obvious abuse,
broken parts or damaged components. very dusty though :-)
So If you are interested, I'd be willing to help you get in touch with
the right persons, the director of the heating plant or the persons
responsible for the University buildings.
The guy who showed me the old system said they would probably be glad to
get rid of that junk but that for now they were not planning on moving
it from it's storage area.
So you would have all the JC80 parts/system installed at the heating
plant at University of Montreal. Are you interested ?

Hi,
I realize that this thread is pretty cold, but you have Google to thank for
my interruption.
I have been trying to track down a copy of the SEE text editor that you,
Fred and Carlos, were talking about in the thread at this link:
http://www.classiccmp.org/mail-archive/classiccmp/2001-09/1095.html
I would appreciate very much if you could e-mail me a zipped-up archive of
Michael Ouye's see.exe executable for 1984 or 1985 or point me to a working
download link for same.
Thank You,

There was just a piece on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" this
morning (12/16/02) about how the record industry's current audit procedure
makes it almost impossible for an artist to know even such basic information
as how many copies of his/her CD have been sold. The section's summary is:
<quote> NPR's Rick Karr reports on the latest developments in the ongoing
dispute between record companies and artists over royalty payments. Two of
the five major labels say they will change the way they compute royalties,
to make them more transparent and less confusing. The record companies hope
the changes will convince more artists to join the fight against free
downloads of music on the Internet. </quote>

I don't think that's right. There are restrictions that prevent hiring an
auditor on a contingency fee basis, and using an auditor who is performing
an
audit of the same company on behalf of another artist at the same time. I
have
never heard of the "approved list" you mention.
Roger,
I couldn't find the thread on this to find Eric Smith's email.
I have a few WD1002-05 cards. I would ship them if he want to pay a few bucks for them.
do you know who might want them or want his email address is? i'd rather not just toss them out, but would like to get some small amount if they're worth anything more than postage...
thx for any advice...

for Eric Smith if he is still looking

Yeah, I've got a couple of WD1002-05s, a couple of WD1002-HDOs from dead
Kaypro 10s, a manual for the WD1002-05, and a manual for the WD1000. I
can probably even find some of this stuff, as opposed to the Atari
Portfolio stuff I promised someone a while ago.
It'd cost you, though. Many years ago I sent you a couple of DECtapes with
an OS/8 V3C distribution kit on them because you said you could read them
with a DECtape to PC interface. It'd be nice to have those back. Or even
better if you could get around to reading them and posting them somewhere
for general download by the 12-bit community.

The time has come to hook my ASR33 to the PDP-8/E.
The -8/E has an M8650 (KL8E) which I've been using with RS232. However, I
have 40-way Berg connectors, and the proper AMP flat 8-way Mate-N-Lok
connector shells for the 20mA loop, and the male and female pins, and I
know which signals go on which pins. What I don't know is which end should
be male and which female, nor how many cables there should be in the chain,
because the cables were cut by the previous owner of the TTY, which has
never seen a PDP-8 in its life before :-(
There's a grey 6-core connected to the ASR33, and I *think* the male
connector (the one with the flat tongue and 6 male pins) goes on this
cable. Therefore the connector with the grooves, which the tongue slides
into, and the female "pins", does on the cable from to the PDP-8/E's Berg
connector. Yes?
Next question is, roughly how long would the original 20mA cable on the TTY
have been? My memory, reaching back two or more decades, says the cable on
the KL8E should be about a couple of feet, and the rest is all one piece,
attached to the TTY. Or would there be a third in between? I have enough
connectors to do it either way.

I've just aquired a tested working Emulex UC17 Unibus SCSI host interface
>from a dealer for $50... don't know if I'm crazy paying so much for old
Unibus or not!
Question is, does anyone have any observations as to any special
requirements such a card might have? Long time since I've played with any
Emulex... any reason why it shouldn't work in really ancient hardware, such
as my 11/20?... something appeals to me about putting a SCSI disk in such an
ancient device!

Can't tell you whether or not it'll play nicely with an 11/20, but
I'll sure tell you I'd pay three times that for Unibus SCSI in a
heartbeat.
