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:

I thought it might be of some interest here.

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.

Best of luck with that. Mindset is one of the canonical examples of truly
innovative machines that never got the attention it deserved.

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.

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).

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.

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
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 :)
