I was sure I had an 11/35 somewhere, but I can't find the damn thing
anyplace(1)... I may have to build one (I was sure I had one because I have
an 11/35 front panel, which I seemed to recall detaching 'for safe
keeping').
Can anyone tell me the number of the power supply used in the 10 1/2" 11/35
rackmount box? Seem to recall it ran along the side, like a pdp-8e, not at
the end, like an 11/20?
Any suggestions on building an 11/35... any other DEC boxes use the same
power supply? I've a couple of 11/40 KD11-A backplanes, was thinking vaguely
of mounting one, along with the front panel, in some other DEC box... (since
11/35 meets the definition of 'fastest blinkenlights pdp-11 that can be
built in a 10 1/2" rackmount chassis').
Cheers

(1) being able to 'loose' an 11/35 could well be the definition of 'having
too many computers'!!!

Hello,
I recently acquired an old HP 9821A desktop calculator. It's in good shape
cosmetically, but it has apparently had previously donated some of its
internal cards to an unknown cause. Specifically, it seems to be missing
three of the four CPU cards, and two of the three RAM cards.
A quick search of some sources suggests that some or all of the CPU cards
are identical to those in the 9810A and possibly the 9830A. I don't know
about the RAM cards, though. Obviously, the CPU and RAM cards from a 9820A
would be an exact replacement.
Any help in getting this classic beast running again will be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Stan
Just in case anybody is in Manchester, UK, with a little bit more front
than me, and wants to investigate, I noticed while visiting a customer
nearby today that a scrap metal dealer in the Vaughn Industrial Estate,
Gorton, Manchester (100 yards from Ashburys station) was unloading a wagon
with pallet after pallet load of what looked like a 14" monitors and Wyse
serial terminals. From a quick look into their warehouse, they had various
other interesting pallets stacked up..
Today while at the warehouse I located my H8 and was shocked to find that 4
of the buttons were broken off the entry pad. Can anyone give me a lead on
were I can purchase a new or used pad? Also found the Floppy disk system ( 3
FD drives) and the H9 Video Terminal for it.
Here's a fellow with an Amiga 2000HD in Michigan. Please contact him
directly if interested.

Hey Fred,

No.. I am currently trying to finish the new MOP Server project,
so thats (a) out of my way, and (b) available to people on the
list. Basically, the usual loose ends such as portability and
operation testing, and finishing the docs on it.
The InfoServer project will complement the above, in that it
will give us the ability to also net-boot VMS off any given
install host. Basically, the InfoServer client uses MOP to
kickstart things, and then uses LAST (aka LAD, aka LASTdisk)
to do the rest of the disk I/O.
Basically, I'd like to have an InfoServer running here, even if
only for fun. I also need it to reverse-engineer the LAST protocol,
since nobody seems to have a copy of its specification anymore.
So, given the fact that an InfoServer (150, 1000) is just a regular
3100-model machine, I should be able to load the friggin software
onto one, right?
Anyone? Help!
The Question:
Given a regular MV3100-model box, and a working CDROM drive on
it, HOW does one load the InfoServer stuff onto it, making it
an operational InfoServer ?
Cheers,
Fred

That idea might work but making the loop will be some work. Haven't
had any luck on finding paper yet.
Do now. http://www.pdp8.net/563/563.shtml
I just got a VAX 6000. More details on the system itself will come later.
Right now, I need to move it the short distance from its warehouse it my
garage. I will probably do this tomorrow. I want to run my logistics plan by
the list and see if there are any problems.
Basically, my idea is to borrow my parents' utility trailer, throw an old
mattress (which I have) in it, lay the VAX on its side on top of the
mattress, and tie down. 3.5 miles later, we'll slide the VAX off and push it
upright. Repeat the process to get the other cabinet.
My only concern ATM is laying the VAX on its side. That won't damage the
enclosure, will it?

I looked around at http://www.spies.com/~aek/pdf/hp/ and found most of the
hardware docs I would want for my 2113E and 2117F, but didn't really see any
hardware reference docs for a 2100A CPU.
I also didn't find any 2100A hardware docs at
http://oscar.taurus.com/~jeff/2100/
Anywhere else I should look for docs online?
