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 ? Jean-Luc Larose VE2JWL --

Q. Who remembers the "see" editor for the ibm pc?

by techservices＠nwnetwork.net

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, Dennis Harrington techservices(a)nwnetwork.net Bainbridge Island, Washington

Interesting Tim O'Reilly article.

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

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> -----Original Message----- From: Wayne M.

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.

WD-1002-05 boards

by david＠avidguru.com

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... -David Sutherland Los Angeles (Monterey Park), Calif. p.s. there's some scans of the WD1002-05 docs at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~fjkraan/comp/wd1002/index.html for Eric Smith if he is still looking ref: --- http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2002-July/000626.html Roger Ivie cctech(a)classiccmp.org Tue Jul 30 20:02:01 2002 a..

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. -- Roger Ivie ivie(a)cc.usu.edu

20mA cable details

by pete＠dunnington.u-net.com

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. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

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. -Dave -- Dave McGuire "Why would a brothel need St. Petersburg, FL a streaming media server?" -Kevin End of cctech Digest
