Thanks for posting the schematics. That will save me the trouble of
figuring out how the keypad and LED display are wired up and make it easier
to figure out the code which scans the keypad and drives the display.

Jay,
Do you have the ability to make a raw sector dump of a 7900A disc cartridge
to a file that can be read by a PC? I'm not sure how that would work, maybe
dump the 7900A disc cartridge to 9-track tape and read the tape with a PC
compatible tape drive, or something like that? I seem to recall seeing some
HP 1000 disk image files that were 20MB or so on the web somewhere but can't
find them now, so I think this can be done.
Anyway, if you could dump the HP 1000 diag library 7900A disc to a PC
readable file, I think the individual diagnostic images could probably be
extracted from it. If I read the diag manual right they should just be
saved on disk in standard absolue binary format, but with a three word
header which forms a linked list to the cyl/head/sector of the next diag
image in the list. (This is from the Diagnostic Configurator reference
manual, p/n 02100-90157)

I'm trying to get all the paper work done before the end of the (2002) to
get non-profit status from the IRS and the State (TX). I can't decide which
is the best between a 501(c)3 or a 501(c)4 organization? Which did most of
you that have filed use for your computer museum? Any other help with task
would be great. Thanks in advance.

I say retro/simple. I don't like new/fancy as such layouts tend to get in
the way of usability.
Having looked at all three, I rather like the current, but think it would
look better without the busy graphic below the black CLASSICCMP line. Of
the other two, I prefer the 'retro' one, but would recommend white instead
of pale green.
One thing I like is a page that simple and looks/works good under both
Netscape/Mozilla/IE, and Lynx. For example my DEC Emulation site works just
fine under Netscape/Mozilla/IE, and works pretty good under Lynx.
http://www.aracnet.com/~healyzh/decemu.html It's also a very low bandwidth
site in that it is pretty basic HTML, with almost no graphics.

Have finished going thru all the boxes yet so there more goodies to be
found.

I don't know what exactly they did, but I do know that several people who
have working laservision players offered to lend one. It's just a Philips
laservision player, as still used by video buffs, but with a SCSI
interface.
Of course, you'd need software to make sense of the directory structure, so
perhaps the "emulation" part was something to run the Video Filing System
developed for the BBC Micro, or some equivalent.

Hi
If they had the player, why not use an original BBC Micro to
read things?

Hi John
I'm on two mail list at this email address. I get maybe one
Nigerian letter a week but no much else. I have a hotmail
address that I also use to post to news groups. I average
14 junk mails a day ( that get through my filters ).
If someone is mining this list, I don't see much that is
making it my way. News groups are definitely mined and
I notice increase in a few days after my posting there.
I've started collecting the Nigerian letters. Some are
quite clever while others are just copies. One thing
I've noticed is that they like to use $20,500,000 as
the standard value. This might make a simple way to stop
a large percentage of them by filtering the body text
for this.
