My entanglement also dates from later in college, in my case
well after most of the NS32k's general purpose CPU success
('89-90). I was noodling around with the notion of building
something capable of running Unix and someone pointed me at
the 32k as something VAX-like that could be obtained in DIP
packaging (the 32008 or 32016, at least).

I can see that others have already stepped up to this one, so
since I can't speak from direct experience...

You should have at least without pulled the cardcage. Some of those had full
Z80 system cards inside the small STD bus like cardcage. I also sold a couple
of the keyboards, one through ePay and the other through the list. They are
hard to come by.

Just click on the "Bid History" link to the right og the number of bids. You
will see (with some interpretation) that the winner put in a bid of $1000 on
01/02, when the current high was $150. There were then six other bids that
ran the total up to the $1,000 limit. The last bid was also $1000, but the
winner's $1000 took precedence, since it was earlier.

I don't know how this would work, because when you place a bid on
eBay, it
will only show the amount necessary to beat a previous bid. Which means if
this guy is running in $10 increments, someone had $990 on it.

IIRC, Testors plastic solvent cement (available at most hobby shops) is
mainly MEK. Testors makes several "flavors" of solvent cement, so just check
the label to make sure.

MEK = Methyl Ethyl Ketone (C4H8O)? Is it actually obtainable for most
folks? I thought it was regulated since it is so toxic and dangerous?
Personally, I think I'd take safety precautions while working with the
stuff...

Hi!,
The site, http://hardware.localhost.nl contains
pictures of computing and networking hardware.
We've also got a small collection of all kinds
of old hardware.
As most of you are probally the owners of old,
exotic and cool hardware, a contribution would be
greatly appreciated by sending in your pictures!
Anyway, drop by and have a look. ;)
Greetings,

I have a Macintosh LC III & image writer II printer
would this be of interest to your organisation?
if not can you make a suggestion besides throw away?

Hi,
TIL306/7 is a decadecounter, latch, dekoder+driver and led-bar display, and has
a puls-input to the counter.
TIl308/9 is a latch, dekoder+driver and led-bar display, and has BCD-inputs for
data to be displayed.
306 and 308 are identical in its display-dimensions and aparance, the function
differs however. To use a TIL 308 as a replacement for a 306 you will need to
add externalley somewhere a 7490 decade-counter between the original circuit
and the TIL308.
I have a few TIL308 available, if this rework is feasable to you.
TIl310/1 is a latch, dekoder+driver and led-pixel display, and has BCD-inputs
for data to be displayed. Thisone also needs an external 7490 counter in your
usage, on top of that, the display has a different appearance.
Someone else could have those for you.
So, choose the alternative that best suits you, I would continue to search for
the original TIL306, or change the whole display to something else althogether.
HTH
