Subject: pdp11/70 systems are available
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 15:51:58 -0400
Hello,
I'm the network admin for the Books Division of Brodart Company, a library
services company. I have been asked to find a home
for our (3) pdp11/70 systems. I found your site on the internet and wanted
to know if you or someone you know would be interested in getting them a
home.
If someone would contact me by phone would be perferable because to amount
of equipment we have is quite extensive.
equipment summary in brief:
(3) pdp11/70 main computer chassis.... all were working when shut down
although some for the dz11 and dh11 serial interfaces may not be completely
functional.
(3) la36 system consoles (working).
(6) la120 decwriter stations (2 working) others for parts.
(5) ra81 disk drives (3 working) others for parts.
(4) te16 tape units (2 working) others for parts.
Enough spare parts to almost build another pdp11 main backplane with power
supplies
quite abit of documentation.
If you are interested please contact me here at Brodart.
Thank you
Bob Villano

Well... depends on yer definition of 'all-day' treks, and if yet 'Indiana
Jones' card is up to date, but I (and the Computer Garage collection) now
reside in Yates Center, which is a hundred miles (+/- 10~20) West of KC.
The collection (having just completed its x-country trek) is stacked up in
the warehouse, and I'm installing a computer-based scoring system in my
Bowling Center which dates to the '80s (so its on topic) <G>, so there
might be something of interest...
Too bad you are not coming from William Donzelli's neck of the woods...
I'd love to have one of those '35s he has been talking about. ;^}

Yeah, I've got a couple of WD1002-05s, a couple of WD1002-HDOs from dead
Kaypro 10s, a manual for the WD1002-05, and a manual for the WD1000. I
can probably even find some of this stuff, as opposed to the Atari
Portfolio stuff I promised someone a while ago.
It'd cost you, though. Many years ago I sent you a couple of DECtapes with
an OS/8 V3C distribution kit on them because you said you could read them
with a DECtape to PC interface. It'd be nice to have those back. Or even
better if you could get around to reading them and posting them somewhere
for general download by the 12-bit community.

Hi Raoul
I have the schematic for an Intel 80/10. This is one
of the early 8080 SBC's that Intel sold( I think the 80/05
was first ). Many of the parts would be vary hard to find.
I would recommend doing a 8085 if you can. These are a
lot more friendly. Other than an address latch, the rest
is more like just tacking on various bussed parts. I don't
recall but I think there are some simple circuits in
the Intel 8085 manuals I have.

If anybody has a GEC 2050, and needs a manual, I may be able to
help. Some friends have just found a 2050 processor manual,
and would like to find a good home for it. E-mail me off-list
for details, please.
Here's a web page for the machine:

Just to follow-up on a message from way back, I saw some Motorola
XC6800 parts in a prototype board today. There was an XC6800
CPU (with clock module) and two XC6820 parallel port chips.
The "XC" prefix, it seems, was a Motorola prefix for early
pre-production parts. The date codes were from 1975.

Keep in mind, there is a 'legitimate' reason for doing this. People are
adding so much onto their A1200's that they have to tower them. I mean,
good grief, they're even strapping PCI slots onto those suckers! Though I
think the lastest addons sort of turn the A1200 system board into a
co-processor to the actual computer.

Hi Tony
I think the one number I'm thinking of was something38
and not somthing35. Yes, it is true that a TTL will
sub in most cases but there is one that doesn't work
and that is where you have the expanded input ( also one
of the chips I'm looking for ). This was only done
on the DTL and not supported on the TTL of similar
function.
I have to go back and look to see what the numbers were.

Hi
Toshiba did a 68301 varient of the 68000 that I know of.
( it is in my telescope control ).
