I spotted two of these in a scrap place yesterday. They haven't been there more than a couple of days and look like they're in decent condition. I'll guide you to them but I have NO way to move, store, or ship them. They're in rack mount size cases that are about 30" high and they have a wood looking top on them.

There are three flavors of Documation interfaces: parallel
differential, parallel single-ended and serial (Cardamation). I
believe the M1000 only came with the differential interface. I
have an HP-branded M600 (HP2983A) and it also has the
differential interface.
I'm in the process of building a Documation to USB interface
based on a Ubicom/Scenix microcontroller and the FTDI parallel-
to-USB chip. Have the parts but haven't had time to get started
on construction. I'll post the schematics and code hopefully
within a month.
Dang it Sellam, your M1000 slipped under my ebay search
radar because it's a "ballot card reader" not a "punched card
reader."

Is there anyone in the Boston area or near the east coast that wants to
make a little money with their old iron?
There is a production company doing a documentary and needs a PDP-8
(straight) for their project, as well as a PDP-1.
I am not aware of any PDP-1's out there, but I remember there is at least
one PDP-8 in those parts.
If you've got one and can stand to lend it out for a day or two, please
contact me and I'll give you the details.

The seller has put about 4 of these up already.
I bought one, the belts and rubber rollers are in good shape
in the one that I got, although it's having some trouble
picking cards. A second one is on its way for someone else.
But this may be the correct one. I seem to have
both listed as 74F582

Please forgive me if this is Off Topic...
I have a 1 gig drive in a 486. The BIOS sees the whole 1.2 gig (wd
caviar 21200)
and I have set the parameters from the plate on the drive into the
bios...
But FDISK insists that the drive is only 504 MB. Who ate half of my
disk drive??
can I get it back?
how?
I have tried to create secondary partitions but "no disk space remains"
Thanks.

A year ago I acquired a Southwest Technical Products Corp. CT-1024 TV
Typewriter II. It was a basket case. The main board was purchased as just a
bare board and the original owner had used what ever parts he had. (SWTPC
clipped a corner on bare boards they sold without a kit of parts.) The
keyboard was an old Keytronics unit.
I wanted to restore it to "factory" condition. My brother had just given me
a nice Metcal soldering station so stripped the main board of all parts and
only lifted a few pads.
Over the next 6 months I collected a complete set of parts. In the last
month I got serious about this project and I have finished except for a new
clear acrylic plastic case.
This unit is now closer to "factory" condition then when it was assembled in
1976 or 1977. All of the ICs are the correct part (7474 not a 74LS74
substitute.) The capacitors new but are the same type as the original. They
tend to be smaller in size then the 1975 versions. I was able to get all new
Molex connectors.
There was a recent flame war on what is new and what is original but I think
this restoration improved this classic computer terminal.
Here are some links to my CT-1024 TV Typewriter II pages.

Texas would at least like a "DBA" for the county where the *business*
resides... And the TaxMan wanteth his share as well (min $125/quarter
whether or not you sold anything, unless you can demonstrate a clear loss
exceding the value of any state taxes claimed...)
Cheers...

Well, maybe not then...I don't know Penske's rules. However, as was
pointed out, being non-incorporated and doing the above scenario above
certainly is legitimate business, as long as the taxman gets his share
(Schedule C, I think? I don't do it anymore, since I incorporated. Anyway,
that is what accountants are for). No license is needed, at least in some
states.
I would think, however, that Penske would want to see some sort of
legitimate business paper if it can't have an EIN.

Exactly, so you could actually think of the business rate as "normal" and
the personal rate as "built in insurance".
