Can anyone tell me what these cards from a DEC PDP-11/04 are? I've identified some them but I'm not they're correct.
(1) M2763 (2) H-222A (16k x 18 core memory) (3) H-222A (16k x 18 core memory) (4) Advanced Control Corp. card with two FMI (Function Module Inc) 9685 Digital to Analog Convertors (5) same as 4 except it has two Burr Brown DAC-800-CBI-V convertors (6) M7856, (7) M9312 (Boot Strap Terminator? Exactly what does it do and why does it have four terminals on it?) (8) M7228 (KW11-P Real Time Clock).

Indeed it all began with networking CP/M computers. Around 1981 Novell
came to the market with their first networking product, called S-net.
It was a star based network around a specialized server machine with a
68000 processor and a proprietary NOS. It is this machine we are talking
about now. You could connect CP/M machines and PCs to it. Around 1983 the
first version of Netware appeared, called Netware-86. This was a
multitasking file-, print and application server software package that
ran on the PC XT.
I do not know what the exact functionality of S-net was, but I believe
it was multi-user file sharing only.

today i picked up the same Poket Terminal.
did somebody find any information about this unit?
what type of interface the connector is?
It seems, that someone modyfied the connector of my unit, because one cable
is cut, and the connections of the others are completely different than that
of don's unit.
can somebody tell me wich cable(color) is connected on wich pin on the
original connector?

Is it possible to take a few photographs of these machines and publish
them somewhere? I also collect old Novell stuff, and I have an old
original Novell machine too, but it already is a 286 made by Hyundai.
(http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/cm/lroom2.html) I also have an old
key card that you needed to have in your server as a sort of anti
piracy device or otherwise your system wouldn't work, that was used by
the first pc versions of the Netware server system
(http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/cm/lroom4.html)
When Novell was in the hardware business it also sold diskless pc
workstations with the ne1000 and bootrom already on the motherboard,
also made by Hyundai. (I do not have pictures of those)
But I have never seen one of the old 68000 server machines.
Thanks,
Kees.

Licenses are still available, it's the media kit for VAX that is
sold out. I'm not sure when we'll get new ones in at this time.
However, you can still register for licenses and use borrowed media to
bring your VAX on-line. If you need an Alpha, we still have several
Alpha kits left.

Hi folks,
There's a sealed-bid surplus lot for sale on www.govliquidiation.com
with a Wright Line manual card punch and two paper tape readers of
unknown provenance -- the only snag is they're in Kapolei, HI
(Oahu).
http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=60013
Might be a good catch for someone in the Islands.

If anyone's interest, I have my Windows 1.03 auction up on eBay. This
will hopefully help fund some projects I'm working on...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2030077275
I still have copies of Windows 2.0 and Windows/286 (version 2.1) that I'd
like to get rid of, but will offer to the group before I think about
eBaying them. $20ea gets it. They're the original install disks.. email
me off list if interested or you want a photo or something. All the disks
read properly in a 1.2M DSHD floppy drive.

Just want to thank you for making the old manuals and image files
available on http://oldcomputers.dyndns.org/public/
I found things here (like the IMS information) I have been hunting for
years. I am still looking for documents etc for some other IMS S-100
boards dating from around 1980-84:
- A862 Z80 CPU
- A930 Floppy Controller
- A821 Winchester Controller
- A1100 Winchester Controller
- A1021 64K RAM
You don't by any chance have files for these, do you? :)
Best wishes,
Arlen Michaels

I've got a couple Texas Instruments DIS1291's, and can't find a datasheet
for them. If anyone has a TI optoelectronics databook from around 1981 or
so and could put up a scan of the datasheet, I'd be most grateful. These
displays are made up of 6 tiny numeric displays in an extra long (20 pin
length, 1") 16 pin dip package.
