How about a PDP-10? (RE: A real PDP-8 that you can hang on your w all!)

by CordaAJ＠NSWC.NAVY.MIL

Any chance you guys might try do this for a PDP-10? ;-) A KA10 front panel would be a bit bigger, but would provide plenty of room for the more complex emulator circuitry... And yes, I know there are software-based '10 emulators, but for some reason I can't explain, I've always desired a hardware-based 10 emulator (like the XKL, only affordable). -al- -acorda(a)1bigred.com -----Original Message----- From: bob(a)jfcl.com [mailto:bob@jfcl.com] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 4:07 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: A real PDP-8 that you can hang on your wall! Many of you have already heard of the SBC6120, our single board PDP-8/E clone that you can build from a kit. The SBC6120 now has a complete lights and switches front panel, and the entire assembly, including a hard disk drive, is about 9" by 15" and 2 1/2" thick and can be framed and hung on the wall like a painting. You can see a photo of Debee with one at http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/images/Debee%20and%20FP6120.jpg Everything is fully functional; all the lights and switches work as you'd expect and the SBC6120 is able to run most PDP-8 software including FOCAL and OS/8. You can read all about it on our web site at http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/SBC6120-2.htm and http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Hardware/SBC6120_Front_Panel.htm The entire project is open source, and you can download everything there is to know about the SBC6120 and front panel, including manuals, schematics, and firmware source code, from http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Download.htm If you like what you see then you can have one for your own wall, and we'd be happy to sell you a kit of parts to help you build one. Visit our web store for ordering information http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Store.htm Thanks, Bob Armstrong

Help request: Impact printer by the digital group

by oldcomp＠cox.net

Hi all, I am in the process of restoring a 96 column impact printer sold by the digital group around 1977. (See my progress at: http://members.cox.net/oldcomp3/dgp/dgprinter.shtml) The first question I have is about the print head: Does anyone have any idea what, if anything, is the proper lubricant for a print head? What little lubricant I found on the heads felt like it might be a silicone grease of some kind. I have no idea if this was original lubricant or not. Labels I have found on other printers warn against oiling the print head, stating that the heads are lifetime oiled at time of manufacture. Next, I wonder if anyone on the list might have any information on the printer itself, which appears to have been manufactured by Practical Automation Inc., of Shelton Conn., or on the digital group electronics. Any ideas? -Bryan

I'd rather get two copies of stuff sent to both than no >copies of stuff sent to the oen I'm not on; that's why I subscribed to >both. I was under the impression that if you wanted ALL the email, you subscribe to cctalk. It gets the Talk messages as well as the Tech messages. And if you wanted just the subset of messages that are strictly on topic, you subscribe to cctech. So if you subscribe to both, then every single Tech message you get will be a duplicate of a Talk message. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Tandy 1000 HX Problem

by teoz＠neo.rr.com

I recently recieved a Tandy 1000 HX in beat up condition that I gutted to upgrade my mint condition version. I removed the memory upgrade card and installed it into my stock unit to give 640K memory. I installed one of the 3.5" drives from the beat up unit into my machine (2 drives there now) but the computer doesnt recognise it. Is there a jumper on the unit or software that is needed to setup the 2nd 3.5" internal drive? I connected the gutted unit up and it still tries to find the 2nd drive I removed so its not autodetected.

Digital BA363 Personal Storage Shelf

by classiccmp＠crash.com

David Comley wrote: > > before I give up > on it is there anything unusual about the SCSI > interface on these devices ? None of the disks > responded to a SCSI probe. Nothing unusual about the outside of it. Normal old fashioned SCSI. I've got a couple of the BA353's, which are fast narrow and have HD50 connectors. Big flat thing with three bays side by side, the rightmost one of which can take a 5.25" device. Is what you've got a BA353, or is the BA363 different, like maybe a wide SCSI bus? I don't know the model for the PC mid-tower sized desktop units with room for a couple drives... --S.

list change

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I'm trying to wade through all the issues and get them caught up. One change of note... Posts from non-subscribers are now rejected, not held for moderation. So if you have been posting as a non-member, you will have to join. Also - this bears repeating... do *NOT* subscribe to both lists! Subscribe to one or the other. If you want to post from multiple email addresses, you have to subscribe all of them (TO THE SAME LIST), and set all but one for "no email". Thanks for hanging in there folks. Jay West
