I have a 262x HP terminal, think it's a 2624. It is the "ET head" style. I got it years ago and stuck it in a corner of the basement, and just got it out to clean it and get it up and running. It now has lots of white spots under the glass. Looks like mold to me. Nice perfectly round dots. But the thing is they are UNDER the glass. Is anyone familiar with this terminal enough to tell me if it's now dumpster material or can this glass be reached under or taken off somehow? Thanks in advance! Jay West

These post do not seem to be coming from people that are actually looking for help or anything related to classic computers. I have responded to about ten of these before giving up. I all ten cases, I did not receive one reply, even though I offered to provide the help or information they requested. This leads me to believe that these are not just honest post from fellow computer people but some form of address mining operation. I could be wrong but I still waiting to see. Dwight

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

This is exactly the kind of non-member posting that I've been complaining about. Artfromny is not a computer collector, he is a well known seller of Fluke pods on E-bay. He doesn't want these for repairing classic computers. He wants them to sell on E-bay.

Digital cards list (was: hardware/books clearout)

by witchy＠binarydinosaurs.co.uk

Hi folks, Sorry its taken me a while to get round to listing the DEC cards I've got - it's half-term school holiday here so we're entertaining our little one :) This is all of them I think; there's a DEQNA and some RL02 logic/spares I'm keeping for my own RL02 for when I get it running on my PDP....heh.... All these came from storage in an electronics workshop but that's no guarantee they're in working order. The List: --------- Pro 380 floppy controller Pro 380 DECNA network card Oak Technology VGA, EISA card. (it's in the same box) M9058 MicroVAX disk distribution card M7546 TQK50 controller M8067 MSV11 memory, 2 off M8190 PDP 11/83 KDJ11-B cpu M8061 RLV12, 2 off M7621 MicroVAX memory M7606 MicroVAX II CPU M8189 PDP 11/23+ KDF11-B CPU, 2 off M7555 RQDX3 disk controller, 2 off M7559 TQK70 controller M8190 PDP 11/23 KDJ11 CPU, 2 off M9047 Grant continuity cards, 4 off but damaged purple tabs on all. There's also an H7848-BB PSU which I assume is from a MicroVAX 2000 or DECmate. Best offer after a week gets 'em. I'll contact those of you who've offered on the books and CDDS sets in the next day or so. cheers! -- adrian/witchy www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the online computer museum www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk - ex-monthly gothic shenanigans :o(

Manuals up for grabs

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

I've placed a number of 'classic' manuals up on E-pay. Among them are the DHV11 Technical Manual, the Installation and System Management guides for RSTS/E 9.7, the user's manual for the VAXstation 3100/M38 and for the VT220, and other nice goodies. You can do a 'Search by Seller' on 'bftbell' (sans quotes) if you're interested. Thanks much. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, Blue Feather Technologies -- http://www.bluefeathertech.com ARS KC7GR (Formerly WD6EOS) since 12-77 -- kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green, aka Steve Smith)
