Hi,
Not sure if you meant it, but have two full working PDP-11's with various
disks, drives etc which we have just decomissioned and are about to dispose
of. If you know anyone interested in any of the parts, let me know quickly.
thanks,
Pat

Have some commodore stuff to get rid of; most needs to be boxed; will see
what I can do to alleviate cost of boxing...
Shipping from 49783; have a "Pack -n- ship" place next door, so there is
usually a surcharge to normal UPS/Fedex prices (being next door, we usually
get a bit of a break, however).
All of these items are "condition unknown" - they were given to me, and
I've never had 'em hooked up. No warranties, and all that jazz.
(1) MPS802 printer - in original box with original styrofoam; ready to ship
(just needs to be taped up) - looks to be in really good shape, but that's
just looks...
(1) MPS802 printer - no box, no top cover.
(1) Model 1351 mouse
(2) old-style C=64s; 1 looks complete, the 2nd missing keys from the keyboard.
(1) new-style C=64 (similar case to the C=128) - looks complete, has a
"document support stand" attached just above the function keys.
(3) Model 1541 floppy drives - one is in the original box, and has a garage
sale sticker that says "doesn't work, $1.00" - the other two are bare;
obviously; condition unknown.
(1) commie (clone) drive of unknown specific origin: sole marking on the
front says "excelerator plus"; back says on small sticker: "Oceanic
Electronics Corp. / FCC ID: GLB3390C-118 / Golden Image / Made in Taiwan /
[FCC blurb]" - serial # 1149152. Your guess is better than mine... :-)
(2) manuals - one listed as C64 user's manual, one listed as C64 user's
guide; printed in prolly 1984 & 1983 respectively.
All for cost of shipping, and boxing if I can't find the materials...
If local pickup (Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan; take I-75 north until everyone
says "eh?" ;-) it's free, but I'm not holding my breath...
The stuff's gotta go ASAP, so unforch, it's first come, first served...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
OT blurb: I have a PlayStation 1 available with some interesting goodies;
$100 shipped; contact me off-list if interested.

On the 11/70 backplane I have, the NPR grant is also wired
before all other wires. That is what makes me nervous when I
start thinking about cutting a wire for a DMA device.
A DD11-DK 9 slot gen purpose backplane is a lot easier when
it comes to accessing the NPR wires. I agree that *looking*
with a good light source is not too difficult.

Hi all, I'm trying to get two of these to work in a single PC XT so I can
max out the memory. I have figure out the 'left' set of dip switches sets
the memory starting address, but need to determine the functions on the
right set of switches so I can modify the printer port I/O address, serial
port address, and hopefully the size of memory that it thinks is on the
board.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Picked up a microhelp digitizer made in 1990 and it is a very small box with a ribbon cable hanging out one end with a 25 pin female connector on it. The other end has female phono connector. I looked on the web using google but had no luck. Thanks

I had two more M8375 and another M8376 that came with the
VAX 11/785 board set that I bought from Jeffrey Sharp last
year. But none of the M8375s changed the problem. When I
replaced the M8376 it was even worse:

?ERROR: 11FA TEST: 0180 SUBTEST: 0001

FAILING MODULES: M8376,
this time it didn't even go beyond test 3F. So, I put the old
M8376 back. And tried to swap the lower and upper M8375s to
see if I'd get the problem on the other end. After all, I
assume that the message:
54,
?ERROR: 10B8 TEST: 01FF SUBTEST: 0001
DATA: 20002000
20002008

00000000
00000000
TRACE: 00,
FAILING MODULES: M8375-L, M8376,
means that the M8375-L with "L" for LOWER is causeing the
problem. So, I expected M8375-U to be blamed next. But not
so. I always get M8375-L, M8376 error.
However, what's really strange and the focus of my question
is that the outcome depends on whether or not the UNIBUS
cabinet is powered on or off. If I have the UNIBUS powered
on I get that above error. However, when I have the UNIBUS
off, I get this:
54,
?TIMEOUT IN TEST 01FF UPC= 1241
That is, TEST 01FF always fails, but when UNIBUS is off it
just times out, when UNIBUS is on we get that failing modules
error.
Isn't there a way to decouple the UNIBUS issue from the
memory subsystem diagnostics?
I sort of hope that the boards really aren't broken but
some other wires are crossed?
I appreciate any advice of you VAX veterans out there!
thanks,
-Gunther

You'd better duck and run! After all we all know that the real reason HP
bought Compaq was so that they'd finally have some real computers to sell!

Hi Hans
How did the site I pointed you to work out? I am really
quite interested in the hardware manual.
