Subject: pdp11 hardware
Hi, in the course of answering a question about data formats
for the GNU C compiler PDP-11 maintainer, I just ran across your
fine web site.
I have somewhere around 1000 pounds of Unibus and Q bus PDP-11
hardware down in the basement. If you know of an opportunity to
swap or obtain equipment, what I would like to do (some day)
is get a system running again in order to read out approximately
200 rolls of mag tape that are also stored in the basement
and then probably get rid of most or all of the collection.
The available hard drives are broken or rusted out, unfortunately --
some 5-, 8-, and 14-inch Winchesters, all dead. If you know where
to get working replacements, maybe there is some hope for this
project.
Thanks,
Steve Moshier

Bill,
The museum pieces and I are in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
You are welcome to send the information to your mailing list,
The stuff has never been inventoried. Some of the items, picked up as
spares, are still in original sealed packaging. The dual DECtape is nice
to look at. It used to work and is probably repairable. I don't
really know how may computers there are. There is an 11-thirty-something,
several 11-04 crates, several LSI-11 crates. The system that I actually
used was handmade from wire-wrapped backplane blocks. There are many
shelf feet of manuals. And so on, to items that are just useless boat anchors.
In case you cross-reference to other brands, I have been
an avid 68000 user too, and the residue includes several Motorola
systems: a VME-10 and two Delta boxes, also an AT&T Unix PC.

Well currently I don't use any SMD drives on DEC machines; I use them on my
Interdata and on my Perkin-Elmer/Concurrents... But I would like to put SMD
drives on my 11/34A, just don't have a controller.. BTW its a pain to
disassemble a FSD, vacuum up the spiders living inside, and reassemble it..
I recommend covering all holes on the drive somehow to prevent this, if
you're storing it for long periods of time.

getting dodgy after long term use.
Hi,
I am looking for a few of the first mouses IBM made. I would like to acquire one or two of the mouse in this picture. http://members.aol.com/phwimage1/mouse1.jpg . I am using one on this terminal in the library and I just could not get over how cool the mechanical click noise is.

I've had it helpfully uncompress the thing automatically, but not
change the name ;) Never corrupt, though.

For the record, they work OK for me, but I don't do it often.
Usually I use _real_ terminals. :)

"The first port" is a safe way to put it. ;)

Sorry for using list traffic for this....
Outlook express ate my inbox saturday, so if anyone is waiting for an email
response from me for something, I probably am no longer aware of that.
If anyone is waiting for a response from me on something, please re-email
the request.

In the continuing project to revive our PDP-9 system, yesterday we
mechanically coupled the TC02 / TU55 bay to the processor. The next
stage is power supply checkout followed by subsystem debug.
I found the TC02 and TU55 maintenance docs online but so far have been
unable to locate the TC02 printset. Anyone have one they could
donate/lend or scan for me?
