Hey All;
Just picked up a Vax 4000/300 today with 2 RF71 DSSI drives, TK70,
and I think 64MB ram... after I clean her up (its a little dusty) I was
thinking about playing with Ultrix, as I have enough VMS machines...
anyone know or try Ultrix 4.2 on the 4000/300? thats the latest I have
for the vax platform.. I have 4.5 but thats for the MIPS which I run on
my DECsystem 5000/240.
Thanks

While tracking down information on some obscure TI digital logic, I came
across a picture of this terminal on the Smithsonian website:
http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/texas/t_434.htm
There's also a picture of the prototype, which appears to be a heavily
modified TI-99/4 (no A):

Anyone have one of these, or know any more about them?

Subject: Berserker Works vintage computer games
Hi there,
I am trying very hard to find some very rare out-of-print software.
I am looking for two computer games, "The Berserker Raids," and
"Wings Out of Shadow." The games were made and sold between 1982 and
1989, by Berserker Works Ltd. They were designed for home computers
popular at the time, i.e. Apple II series 48k, Macintosh 512k,
Commodore 64, Atari 400/800, IBM-PC, IBM-PC jr.
Berserker Works Ltd was an effort of Fred and Joan Saberhagen, and
the two games I am looking for were based on Fred's "Berserker"
science fiction stories. I am in contact with Fred and Joan, and
they don't have a movable copy of the games. I'm trying to get a
hold of the software for an official Berserker fan web site I am
making.
If you could give me ANY information on who might deal in such
vintage computer games, or even where I might look to try to find
someone, that would be great. Any leads would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Jason Finley

Hi guys,

> Keyboards
If the Colt is identical to that sold in Australia, then the mouse from
it will work with an Amiga. CBM designed the Colt with an unusual
connector (PC wise) that was identical to the Amiga's. We used to sell
the Commodore PC mouse to Amiga customers as a replacement, it was
around $15 cheaper than the Amiga one. I actually ended up using one
myself when my A1000's mouse went berko & died.
Keyboard adapters (PC > A2000) where fairly common once, the hard ones
to fnd are the PC > A1000, although I have a few of these.
Cheers,
Lance

Neither have I. I also have the Synario package too. They phased out
the
tools for the 2064s a long time ago.

Why, because the memory isn't on the Qbus? The MicroVAX-II's memory
isn't on the Qbus either. The only other difference (in this context)
is the presence of a DSSI adapter on the CPU board that isn't
connected [logically] via the Qbus. Many systems have several busses.
Which do you use to define the "bus" of the machine?

Hello all.
I was wondering if any of you know of a good power supply rebuilders in
the UK?
Why? Because i'm rather scared of the PSU bricks supplied with my VAX
11/750. 5V @ 135A, 2.5V @ 85A sounds unhealthy. I've seen small
capacitors the size of your thumbnail make holes in ceilings when
abused, I don't want to see what the four caps as thick as your arm and
about 10" long that construe most of the 11/750 PSU system will do when
being powered up in a (known) broken PSU setup after ~10 years storage.
What do I do? Do I get the PSUs rebuilt? (if such a service exists) Do I
order a new industrial PSU to supply these voltages/currents (plus
others, such as the +15 for the memory boards)? Do I buy 5 or 6 PC power
supplies and run their outputs in parallel with some nice heavy-gauge
cable?

Anyone have a KZQSA with handles for a BA430 (Vax 4000 series) cab they
want to trade for? I have lots of DEC stuff so just ask...

Google? Hmm, no offence or anything, but I find an ECG book to be a lot

Thanks for the pointer. I must wonder, though, if there's *something wrong
with this picture* -- Web-Tronics lists the 'LS170 at 50 cents, MCM has it
at $4. I know MCM is high, but this seems like too much of a spread.
