Hi Jim
I would be interested in the H11 system, H-10 punch
and especially the Poly 8813. I was at the VCF when the
smoke came out. I loved it. Sellam had put my talk
at an overlapped time with your event so I only saw
the first part. I have a Poly 88 but have been looking
for a 8813 for some time.

I've just finished listing a bunch of HP computer and software manuals on E-bay. A lot of the manuals cover HP-UX and are likly to be applicable to the IPC. Don't just go by the titles, look through the HP-UX manuals to see which one you think are applicable. Also listed HP pascal and Fortran manuals and a DATA I?O Setsite module for the Unisite programmer. see <http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rigdonj> if interested.

Finding myself (yet again) in the unenviable position of needing to
free up both some space and a fair chunk of money in a (very) short
amount of time, it is time to release a few more items from the 'Garage'
to new homes...
As I'm still having problems with getting (large) things shipped out, I'll
be making one run out to the 'big city' to seek a shipping place for
packing and shipping, so everything will go out at once...

I was looking around on the internet (mainly decdocs.org and linked
sites, as well as google) and I was unable to locate scanned manuals for
the Vaxstation 4000/90. If anyone has a link to such documents, I would
appreciate it.
My problems revolve around a newly aquired machine which does not appear
to be giving me console access over the MMJ port in the rear of the box.
As I said, this is a newly aquired machine, and I have not really taken
it apart yet, but the manuals would be helpful in any event.

Hi Jules,
To my knowledge the largest hard drive platter was 24". IBM the inventor may have produced
an experimental platter of ~1 m as a demonstration project to management and maybe these platters
were 'sold' or distributed to IBM employees?

I want these IBM publications (especially A18-2317):
GA18-2317 3164 ASCII Color Display Station Description
GA18-2319 3164 ASCII Color Display Station Setup Instructions
SY18-2118 3164 ASCII Color Display Station Repair Center Maintenance Info

GA18-2563 ALA User's Guide for 3163/3164
GA18-2720 3163 and 3164 Emulating IBM Terminals and DEC VT100/52 Terminals
GA18-2736 3163/3164 Enhanced Emulation of TeleVideo 950
I have A18-2318 so don't want more of that, but if you know of other 3164
publications that I don't know about, do please tell.
I'm in Ottawa ON Canada. As far as I know, international shipping into
Canada is not practical, so I'm interested in antiques that happen to be
already in Canada.
I picked up the following items today while searching the thrifts:
SGI Indigo2 IMPACT cpu only no KB or monitor with it.
HP Visualize C180 cpu only no KB or monitor.
HP apollo Series 700 product # A2286A.
TRS-80 micro computer system Catalog # 26-01006-G. No monitor or power
supply with it.
Apple IIc Plus cpu only.
Tandy 1000SL cpu only.
NBA JAM cassette/cartridge for the Super Famicom.
Panasonic R E A L FZ-10 3DO console.
Hi all,
I got a TRS80 Model 100 in and need some technical info:
-what is the polarity of the DC-input on the socket?
-Is a filtered 6 volt DC voltage ok or has it to be stabilised?
-I found lots of recources on http://www.club100.org/
even a technical manual, this however does not adress this DC input.
Thanks,
Frank
