If any of you can get to Ellesmere Port, UK, before Friday, you can
collect a NEC Multisync 5D.
It's getting skipped on Friday - I cannot arrange shipping, so please
don't ask.
Please contact me off list, as I'm not monitoring the list actively for
various political reasons...
Tim.
I have the following stuff at a location near (115 miles west) Denver, Colorado;
S100 Mainframe with:
20 Amp Power supply
Godbout 6Meg-Z80 card
Godbout disk controller card
Godbout I/O card
64K memory card - mfg ?
2 DSDD 8 1/2" drives
Visual 330 terminal
Misc books and software
All in unknown condition, worked 20 years ago when I last tried it.
Been stored since then in a barn, was dry though.
I could not figure out where to sell it on EBAY, any suggestions?

Yep, I view this as and MacOS X as good reasons to give up on Apple.

My 264X manual says a 13232B cable (p/n 02640-60058) connects a 13260A async
interface in a 264X terminal to an HP 12531D or an HP 12880A computer
interface.
The 30 conductor card edge connector for the 264X terminal side should be
easy to obtain. I think EDAC part 305-030-500-202 would work, approx $2.50
at DigiKey.com. For the 12531 side you need a 48 conductor card edge
connector. I think EDAC part 305-048-500-202 would work, but I don't know
where you can order that part without a large minimum order.
Here's the 13232B cable wiring scheme from my 264X manual. Some day I
should scan the picture...
264X Terminal 12531D Interface
13260A Interface 12880A Interface
Data Out B --> X Data Out
Data In C <-- W Data In
CB E <-- U +12 VDC
Ground H <-> 24 Ground
CF J
X8 Clock Out K --> L X8 Clock Out
E,J connected D,4,Y connected
T,16,V connected

That's the *real* trick, finding *anything* that comes close to giving you
keypad support along with any other features that you might require. I can
live without the double-high-double-wide and 132 column, but I've got to
have the keypad!

I find that the following script, that I got off of USENET a few years ago,
is able to turn a Xterm into a usable VT100 (with keypad support).

I think Jay said as much, and I know that is why I've got a DECwriter II and
three VT100's. They're for my /44, despite the fact that I really prefer a
VT420 (and that's all I've used on the /44 so far). Still I've got them so
that should I ever want, I can set the /44 up for a 'museum type' display.

Hi to all on the list,
I've got an HP 5451c Fourier analyser that I'm trying to resurrect.
The machine is basically an 'embeded' HP 1000 (2113B - I think but called a
54451 A/B processor in the literature) with a multi-channel digitizer, an
oscilloscope display a system controller and a display terminal.
The system allows time signals to be recorded and then viewed in the
frequency domain (amongst many other functions)
After pulling the parts of the system out of the store and trying to put it
all together I find that I am minus the cable that connects the display
terminal (an HP 2648A) to the system controller. The connector at the
system controller end is marked 'teletype'.
Is there anybody out there who has a spare cable?
Does anyone have a pin-out for the correct cable?
Does anyone know the correct part number for the cable? - I think that this
may be 13232B but the literature I have is a little sparse
Thanks in advance
Peter Brown

>2 to 5 cents (US) per pound as Motor Breakage. They are heavy.
Ok... not enough to worry about. I'm not sure how much it weighs, but
even at 500 lbs (which it isn't) and 5 cents per pound... that's only 25
bucks.
The nearest public scrap yard that I am aware of is a good 25 minutes
away, plus I would need to line up a van to cart it. I'm not sure the
effort is worth a max of 25 dollars.
Of course, knowing my speedyness on this, I can probably just take it
with me the next time I go to one of my remote offices... there is a
scapper 5 minutes down the road from them. Provided the line isn't too
long, I can take it there (and if it is long, I can just take it there
and dump it for free... that is what I usually do when I have to junk
stuff there).

I've got one as well that is available for parts. Everything in mine
should be good other than the power supply (was working fine when the
power supply blew, a repair tech said the transformer in it is dead).
I may also have some unopened ribbons for it. I probably also still have
a few extra fuses for the power supply (I bought them when it first died,
and when it blew the next set, I called in a repair guy to look at it)
And mine is mounted on a rolling stand, and has a paper catch bin for the
output.
Are these things worth anything at a scrap yard? I've been planning to
just flip mine into the dumpster one of these days (its in a back corner
of an unused section of office space, so I just keep forgetting about it).
