Hi,
First off, I'd like to say that I am very happy to have found this
group. It has been interesting to ready past posts on topics that I enjoy. I am
most interested with IBM System/3x's and the Displaywriter System. I direct
the Audio / Visual Department of a High School, and the first thing I did
when I got there 3 years ago was to put my old IBM Displaywriter back to work.
It is used daily, and some people think I am nuts for using it to deal with
crucial data; However I sit back and laugh when there PCs are crashing, hanging,
and causing them all kinds of problems!
Anyway I am in desperate need of 2 things for my Displaywriter. First
I really need ReportPack software. If anyone knows where I could get a copy
that would be great. Secondly, I need the groups advice on my printer. I
currently have the daisywheel printer with no sheet feeders or tractor feed. I
use standard greenbar paper for most things, and it is a real pain to have to
keep hitting the start button after each sheet is done printing, plus I have
to realign the paper correctly. This will especially be a problem if I even
find the ReportPack software. I would like to find the cut-sheet feeder or
the tractor feed attachment. According to the books I have it seems that
these connect to a small connector on the back of the printer. My printer has a
blank plug in that space, yet the books reference the same printer I have.
Was there some kit of parts that one would install in the printer??
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, any assistance would be
great!

Hello Ed,
About 15 years I used a C10 as a "portable" computer to log my mother's
memories of family photos from Nazi Germany. She was bedridden with cancer
at the time. Unfortunately I left the company that was using the C10's and
now I have C10 disks but no way of getting the info off of them.
Do you know of any utility that runs on MSDOS which can ready these 5.25
disks? Or a service that converts them?
Thanks much for any advice...
Fyi, here is the URL where I got your email address:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4193&item=2768408976
currently $9.99 bid - 20 hours left as of this writing. Powered up to
"Diskette?" prompt but no disks with it...
Guy also has a [%large_amount] of newish computer-recycling type Stuff.
$10.00 laptops, etc. Has a DEC drive carrier of some kind...
Go and check it out.

Hello. I am searching the source code for Veronica Gopher Search System and Archie System. The places where these code could be obtained in some moment are closed. Someone has some of these available in some place ? I should agree to obtain one copy.
This is involved in some work I'm doing to put alive one machine with some deprecated Inet services up and running. I was success with gopher and wais, but I should like to put these other too. The final goal would be to translate all the code to modern platforms.
Thanks and Greetings

I came across a link to your website while searching for old computer punch
paper tape. My father was part of the group that analyzed the data from
Vanguard satellites at the Naval Research Lab back in the late 50's. The data was
punched on old computer punch paper tape then later the punch cards. I'm
trying desperately to find some used tape/cards to include as part of a special
gift I'm putting together for him. Wouldn't matter what data was on the
tape/cards. Would you have any idea where I might find some?
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I have three 3800's in San Carlos, CA if you can arrange to pick one
up, and can make a reasonable offer for one.
