I have the chance to pay some money and get my 17x22" PDP-8/I schematics
scanned, but they only offer TIFF output. These will be scanned in 400 DPI
mode and put on the web. These are a newer revision than the ones posted
on the web.
What I'd *really* like to do is convert them from TIFF to PDF and bind them
into multi-page PDFs instead of the one-per-page TIFF files that I'll get
>from the scanning house.
Any volunteers? Suggestions for *free* software than runs on FreeBSD or, worst
case, Windoze?
Cheers,
-RK

One model that I used to support and I'd like to find would be the IBM Aptiva
stealth model they made back in 1998/1999. I thought it was a neat idea to
put the drives in a seperate enclosure below the monitor.
Get access to an Oc? 3165 with the scan2file option, or
the newer model called DPS100. The machines scan at 52
A4-sized pages per minute at 600 dpi resolution.
A3-sized runs at 23-26 pages/minute AFAIK.
The output can be selected: either (multi-page) TIFF,
or PDF, but the PDF files are *large* because they are
TIFF with a PDF wrapper.
Acrobat would make those big TIFF files a lot smaller in
size, but then with CD-ROMs available, size only matters
if you need to download from the 'Net.
I could scan them to a number of PDF's described above,
but you need to ship the doc to The Netherlands, and pay
for the return shipment, if you want them back. And you do!
I am only interested in PDP-11. If I start collecting -8's,
I will definately run out of space as many of us, fighting
the never-ending battle for more space.

For those of you who missed the announcement in alt.sys.pdp8,
I've now almost completed the M220 version B schematic. It's
available at:
http://www.parse.com/~pdp8/pdp8i/m220b.html
The trials and tribulations of the PDP-8/I restoration can be
found at:
http://www.parse.com/~pdp8/pdp8i/restore.html
Plenty-o-dead 7474's in that one :-)

Looking for Digital Equipment Corp. PDP-1 through PDP-15 minicomputers!
I recently picked a Macintosh High Res mono monitor (from a Macintosh II system) out of the trash. I'd like to use it with an old PC I have that has a VGA card. I've found a pinout for a VGA->Mac cable at www.technick.net, but I'm wondering if it will work with a mono Mac monitor, as opposed to a color one.
TIA.
Bob

i suppose it could be a plain old memory board, but 1992 seems very late
for that (but still classic :-).
the faceplate has two stickers, one for the serial number (1074) and the
second has "HYPERTEC R9_BC HRAM CL EX SIMM".

does anyone have any ideas about this card?

The broken gear is occured because of using thickker paper. This is true for
this mechanism made by ALPS. You can fix it by using a cement which has two
elements to combine and get rigit. Then the gear is permanently stabilize.

Hello all,
I got a Varian(Univac) Data Machines 620L100 in very good conditions
including a fixed-head disk, a teletype and a Tektronix storage display.
This machines is dated to 1974.
I'm in the stage to reassemble to machine and to check the boards. I
hope I'll be able to power on within the next weeks.
Is there anyone on this list who has experiences with this type of machines?
Andreas
