Patrick Rigney:
I found your name on the internet in regard to your having a 5.25" Hard
sector Drive. I have a large collection of old hard sector disks. most of
which have programs or data files on them but could likely be reused.
However, I have about 20 disks that have data (compiled in CP/M) on them
that I would like to get copied to a more contemporary medium. Do you have
the capability to make such a transfer and, if so, would you be willing to
do that for me and, if so, at what cost?
Thank you,

OK, it's time for me to get rid of some things I've been keeping for too
long, and rather than go directly to eBay (some of you will appreciate the
irony of this move in coming weeks), I was wondering if any among you would
be willing to trade some vintage items for some mixed modern/vintage
stuff...
I have the following to offer (individually or in combination):
* Cisco 2524 router w/FT1/T1 CSU/DSU (IOS 11.2)
* Cisco 2524 router w/FT1/T1 CSU/DSU (yes, I have two of these)

I also have the following items for Atari ST systems, but alas, no ST to
test them with:
* Atari MegaFile 30 hard disk (no cable; it has a diskette with it that I
assume is driver and/or tools; spins up and makes healthy noises, but that's
all I can do with it)
* Atari SF314 floppy drive (no power supply)
* Original Atari ST Computer Owner's Manual
* Original Atari ST BASIC Sourcebook and Tutorial (manual)
* MonitorMaster monitor switch for Atari 520/1040 (switchbox w/cable)

expansion box + diskette)
* As a bundle, assorted software and games, includes:
- Word Perfect for Atarai ST (disks only) * Timeworks Data Manager with
Report Writer & Super Graphics for Atari 1040ST (original box + disk + docs)
- Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards for Atari ST
(original box + disk + manuals and inserts)
- Aliants for Atari ST (1987, StarSoft Development Labs, game disk + hint
disk), includes Pirates of the Barbary Coast (jacks + disks)
- Ray Tobey's SkyFox for Atari ST (jacket + disks)
- Accolade Test Drive for Atari ST (exotic car driving game, requires
color; original box + disks)
- Easel/ST for Atari ST (diskette only, says "Use any picture as the
background on the GEM desktop"--whoo hoo... stop 'em before they kill again
folks)
- Smooth Talker speech synthesizer for Atari ST (requires color monitor
and TOS in ROM; original box + manual + disk)
- ColorBurst 3000 for Atari 520/1040ST (requires color monitor; GEM
graphics enhancer; does not work with Mega ST ROMs)
Now, I need/would like the following items:
* SWTPC DC-4 Floppy Drive Controller
* SWTPC MF-68 Diskette subsystem (missing drives OK)
* SS-50 and SS-30 prototyping cards
* Heath/Zenith H-77 or H-87 external drive enclosure (missing drives OK)
* Vintage-era floppy drive enclosure for 5-1/4" full height drives--I need
one two-drive enclosure, preferably metal, with power supply; two
single-drive enclosures would be OK; specifically anything similar to this
http://www.bowkera.com/north_star_computers.htm (single enclosure) or this
http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/MF_68/MF_68_Index.htm (dual enclosure,
preferred);
* Any unusual expansion board for the Heath/Zenith H/Z-88/89/90
(particularly third-party stuff, graphics, clock, etc.)
* Any peripheral for the Rockwell AIM-65 (especially floppy controller)
* ETA-3400 expansion unit for the Heathkit ET-3400 trainer
* KIM-1 peripherals and expansion
* Triple-output digital bench power supply, current limiting + short
protection
Please contact me OFF LIST if you'd like to arrange a trade at
(patrick)(at)(evocative)(dot)(com). I am happy to publish pictures of any
item. Offers for outright purchase of any item will be gladly entertained,
but priority will be given to traders, so non-trade purchase offers will be
held until Sunday 27-Jul.

We had our annual ham club Electronic Bazaar today, and while browsing
around, I found a PDP-8E sitting there sans cards but with power supply
and backplane. I hadn't planned on collecting DEC stuff any more, but it
was too good to pass up. Now to check out the power supply, put it
together and see if I can find a set of cards for it!
Lots of other computer junque including a number of older computers. The
remnants are sitting on a trailer in the back yard, and I should get a
chance to check it out tomorrow!

(You mean BC1 and BD1, not BD2)
No, but it's nothing that's used in any normal system. They don't
connect to the M8014, nor to anything a standard 18-bit system can
access (they're SSPARE4 and SSPARE5 bus lines, normally unused,
although the 11/03 and soe contemporary options did put odd signals
there). My guess is they're for some manufacturing test, because a
quick perusal of the RLV11 Technical Manual didn't tell me anthing
either.

The M8013 I just pulled from one of my (22-bit PDP-11) systems has
those two tracks cut, and it's been working fine since I've had it
(almost 15 years).
If you hold the M8013 component side up, with the contact fingers
towards you, they're the two thin tracks in the shape of an inverted
"L" which come from the 15th and 16th contacts on the third set.
They're cut about halfway between the contact finger and the corner of
the inverted "L".
I've had a look, but I can't find the ECO relating to this. Either my
microfiche is too old (quite likely -- it only lists up to CS Rev F and
my RLV11 is Rev H) or I saw it somewhere like in one of the Micronotes
(which I no longer have, and sadly the ones available online are only a
fraction of the total issued).

Go for it...

I have an old Ensemble Multibuffer DS-2 for an old Macintosh. This is a
1U rackmount device, capable of grabbing 2 frames with studio quality. I
suppose it was neato stuff years ago, and probably cost a mint. Last time
I played with it (years ago), it worked fine, but I see no point in
keeping it anymore.
Anyone need a high end doodad for your classic Mac? I have the buffer,
floppies, and even old and "new" EPROMs for the Ethernet, as well as an
extra Ethernet board. Everything seems in very nice condition, but as I
said, it has been years since I played with it, and I don't have a
classic Mac anymore to test it.
Any takers at a 20 dollar bill plus shipping?

Why not, a friend of mine that is employeed as a IT manager told me the
other day about an unlabeled computer he wanted to give me that had
"antique memory" in it. I was all excited wondering what he might have
that could be "antique".
It turned out to be a generic Pentium 90 with 72 pin SIMMs!!!

I found two old Intel memory cards yesterday. They look like the In-7000,
IN-1600, In-40 series stuff but are shorter. These are the same width and
use the same connector but are only about 61/2" tall instead of 10+
inches. FWIW They use a 100 pin connector that appears to be the same as
that used on the S-100 cards but the cards are smaller. These cards are
marked "IN 481 Intel 1975" and I don't show them in any of my intel
catalogs. They have 4 rows of 8 each C2107C memories (4k x 1 D RAMs).
Anybody need them? I doubt I'll ever have a use for them.

I'm currently working on a pair of projects to reconstruct some data that isn't really available anywhere. The biggest thing I'm attempting to do is collect all of the PDP-11 OS to Layered Products Cross Reference data (this would be found in the SPD's). So far I have information for the following OS's:
RSTS/E V7.1, V7.2, V8.0
RSX-11M V4.0, V4.1
RSX-11M-PLUS V2.0, V2.1
RT-11 V4.0, V5.0, V5.4, V5.4d/e/f/g, and V5.5
The result so far is available at http://zane.brouhaha.com/~healyzh/PDP-11_OS_to_Layered_xref.pdf
To clarify what I'm talking about by Cross Reference, here is one for some RT-11 Versions. (the rest of the message can be found after this table)
