I came across a site of a person who has a rather large collection of old video game systems who took plenty of pictures of it: http://www.videogamearchive.com/roomdoom/ I thought it might be of some interest here. -spc (It's an impressive collection ... )

by esharpe＠uswest.net

History of MARC Records sought.... Looking for any paperwork or books or naritives from thouse that might have participated in the early days of MARC record development and you will make us really happy if you were in the MARC Pilot Project. This will be an interesting history section for the automation section of the website. Thanks Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC Please check our web site at http://www.smecc.org to see other engineering fields, communications and computation stuff we buy, and by all means when in Arizona drop in and see us. address: coury house / smecc 5802 w palmaire ave glendale az 85301 Thanks Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC Please check our web site at http://www.smecc.org to see other engineering fields, communications and computation stuff we buy, and by all means when in Arizona drop in and see us. address: coury house / smecc 5802 w palmaire ave glendale az 85301

OpenVMS etc.

by rogersda＠cox.net

Peter, This is actually easier than MickeySoft, once you understand the relationships. First you need to know what device your cd-rom is. ~Normally~, it will be a SCSI device at address 4; and usually, on the first controller. Type $ Sho dev d and look for a disk that is write-locked, probably DKA400. If it is ... With the cd in the drive, type $ Mou/over=id dka400: then $ Set Def dka400:[000000] you are now ready to wander around as on any other RMS volume. Dale > This is my first dip in to OpenVMS. Could you give me an idiot's guide > to mounting the CD-ROM and installing TCP/IP? Coming from a strong UNIX > and Windows background, VMS is confusing me!

For Trade: SGI 4D series boards, memory, etc

by mvg1＠earthlink.net

Gravity patrol stopped by again with another warning. Now I'm moving the SGI 4D series material out. Trades have priority -- email me directly and I'll send you my list of items I'm looking for. Please feel free to suggest other trades, or I'll sell outright. I'm willing to ship internationally. These boards were all either removed during upgrades, or salvaged from machines being discarded. All have been stored inside in antistatic packaging. That said, I can't currently test any of them, so all are "as is". None of the memory boards includes simms -- although I have quite a stack of various sized memory simms available as well. Note that these boards/bits all are applicable to SGI 4D series machines, mostly including 4D/3x0 and 4D/4x0 machines, but also some Personal Iris and Professional Iris machines. A "?" in the list below means either I didn't see the info (like a build date on a board), or I'm uncertain of identification (which is why I'm including the part number from the board). "3rd" indicates a third party produced board (marketed and sold by SGI, but manufactured by a third party).

Bounty: FreezeFrame by Delta Microsystems ($$$)

by vcf＠siconic.com

I'm seeking out the software called FreezeFrame v1.0 written by Delta Microsystems and sold by Peripheral Devices Corporation in 1993. This was a backup program for Unix-based systems. The actual software or a user's guide will do, but it must be for version 1.0. This is a bounty so I'm offering a cash reward for the capture of this software. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

Mindset Computer

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

Just visited a friend who wanted to get his Mindset Computer working. We got it up and running, but we couldn't get it to boot from floppy. Either his drives have gone bad (unused for at least 10 years), or the diskettes have (from 1985). So... I'm on the lookout for a working Mindset Computer AND/OR copies of the boot disks for it. If you have either, please let me know... Regards, Al Hartman

Vintage computer siting on TV

by vcf＠siconic.com

I just saw a pretty funny old computer siting: The UNIVAC (or a fantastical rendition of it) appears in a Daffy Duck cartoon set in a futuristic-themed detective scenario :) -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
