I was shuffling some of my collected VaxenStuff, and in the 4000 I found a couple of CMD CDI-4000 DSSI to SCSI bridge cards..... A yahoo and google search turned up Silicon Image's web site, with a hanging link to a supposed user's manual... :-{( Does anyone know of a real (working) link to a manual?? Failing that, does anyone know what jumper / ribbon cable does what? Thanks.....

Howdy...new to list and a couple questions.

by mike＠shawnuff.net

Hey there! I hope this isn't bad form but I'm new to the list and just wanted to put my collecting needs out there and ask a question or two. Currently I'm partial to anything TRS-80, PCjr, or PC XT related. But I'm also trying to fill in some gaps with Commodore , TI 99, and Apple II(e). Also, where do y'all find most of your stuff? There's always ebay, but that's usually at a premium. I've thought about notifying some of the local auction houses to keep an eye out. Any input would be appreciated, and it's good to know that there are folks out there who don't immediately think "samford and son" whenever they see "obsolete" hardware! -Mike

PDP-11 Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11 (Originally Produced by Tim Shoppa)

by jhfinepw4z＠compsys.to

The last two times I posted this, another person contacted me either for help or to request the CDs. This will be the last time for about 6 months unless more people reply. In regard to the Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11 that Tim Shoppa originally produced: I am in the middle of finishing a second (very small) batch of CDs and could easily add a few additional copies. I will be making all copies of the CD images from: ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/cd-images/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSX-11/ Since not everyone has both a high speed internet connection and a CD burner, I thought it would be helpful to make them available. If you have both requirements and are using Windows 98 SE / Nero Burning, I can help with the details if you don't know how to burn a CD from an "Image File". I have even been able to produce a label for each CD that is close to the original label from Tim Shoppa, although since they were scanned (THANK YOU FOR THE HELP), they are not perfect. They are available at $ 5 / $ 9 / $ 12 for 1 / 2 / 3 CDs. In addition, I understand that Memorex Black CD-Rs have a longer shelf life and are available at Business Depot. If anyone wants those instead, add $ 1 for each CD that you are requesting. Thus those amounts are $ 6 / $ 11 / $ 15 Please contact me directly for my snail mail address. I picked up some Memorex Black CD-R blanks and started on the copies for those who have already requested that a Black CD-R be used. Please include your mailing address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In general, I will regard any funds you send as a gift so that if anyone really can't afford the CDs, please state why that is so. Outside of the US, probably about $ 2 should be sufficient for extra postage. All amounts are in US dollars. Please ask if you are not in the US. No point in converting twice. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.

FS/A: Northern Telecom (NT) DisplayPhone Plus NT6K90AC

by big_boy_toddy＠yahoo.com

I have for sale a few Northern Telecom (yes, NT, not Nortel) Model NT6K90AC Displayphone, Date of Mfr. Nov 15 1984 (yeps, that makes them almost 19 years old, way ahead of their time). If you are interested, and know what this is for, do let me know. I think 50 USD for each is fairly reasonable. They are in very, very good working condition taken out of service a number of years ago, stored and finally sold off recently. I picked them up at a government auction, and they are being sold as-is. I know little to nothing about them, and am by no means an expert, you are more than I am...PS. I hope this is ok to offer these here for sale. I looked at the listing, and it seems this kind of device was WAY ahead of its time, so much so that NT didn't do much with them, but they are prized for collectors. I hope I can find a nice home for them.Best wishesTodd Nathan The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Seeking good home(s) for old hardware [UK]

by Paul.HILLS＠landisgyr.com

I would love to take the SWTP6809 system. I already have an SWTP6800 that I acquired recently. Getting on 20 years ago I built a 6809 based computer from a series running in the UK magazine "Electronics & Computing Monthly", called the 77/68 system. This was based on the SWTP stuff but was marketed through a company called Stirling Microsystems in Baker Street, London. Does anyone else here remember that system? There's one reference to it on a Google search here: http://www.jakelod.demon.co.uk/7768.htm, although now even that link isn't working anymore. Was I the only person ever to build it?!!! I never got it working, and I think my parents must have chucked it all out unfortunately, although I've still got all the docs including circuit diagram and hex dumps. paul -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Brian Chase Sent: 16 April 2003 21:20 To: Classic Computers Subject: Fwd: Seeking good home(s) for old hardware [UK] Here's something of possible interest to rightpondians. -brian. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2003 10:23:51 +0000 >From: John Carlyle-Clarke <john.cc(a)nospam.europlacer.co.uk> Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers Subject: Seeking good home(s) for old hardware Can anyone provide any suggestions, flippant or otherwise, as to where I might seek new homes for some old kit that has been cluttering my attic for many years? My wife is putting her foot down, and frankly I am never going to do anything with it. I am paring down my collection of old computers and peripherals to a few that I will actually use, and trying to find people who will actually use the others. So I need homes for: * SWTPC 6809 computer. Main unit, disk unit inc. 8 1/2" Qume floppy drive, Western digital harddisk controller but no HDD. VDU/terminal (not working). Used to run Uniflex (but I don't have this, since the hard disk crashed and there were no originals provided). I have all the hardware and software manuals. I have seen this computer working but it has been stored a long time. * Remex paper tape reader/writer (works as far as I know, but I don't have the cables for it). * Diablo daisy wheel (have seen it working but about 17 years ago!) It's a long shot, but somebody may be able to help. I can provide more details if anyone is interested. Mail me at jpcc "at" bigfoot "dot" com if you prefer. I am in the UK.

SN76477N

by Eurtly＠Southslope.net

I just ran into this article that you have posted. I have all the data sheets and even a couple of SN76477N chips that I just aquired. I'm looking for more of the SN76477N AND SN76488 CHIPS or the replacements. Can you help me out here...

May not be the same device, but it > was a TI analogue sound generator. The sound generator chips that I recall TI making were the SN76477N, SN76488N, and the SN94281. I believe TI also made some others, but those were commonly available to hobbyist in the time period that is mentioned above. I'm fairly sure Radio Shack at one time sold some of those particular sound generator chips too. I have the data sheet for the SN94281, but I'm not sure about the other two. If it would be helpful, I can scan it. -Toth
