Um... sort of. They are in the bottom of the dumpster outside. Its
raining pretty heavy right now, and there is garbage and assorted other
stuff on top.
If you really want one, you are welcome to come dig thru the dumpster.

Hello Mr Brown,
i just stumbled over your message about having an Infotek AD200 card from May 3 2003
i would be interested if you still have the card and if so, are willing to sell it to us.
pls let us know what you think.
best regards

It looks like it does have onboard SCSI. At least there is an external
SCSI port, so I'm assuming there is probably an internal one as well.
If you want it, its yours.

I'm not sure this is really on topic yet, but I know there are a bunch of
DEC fans on the list.
I have a Digital Celbris XL5100DP computer here. It looks to be a fairly
standard Pentium PC, except that its processor daughtercard has room for
a 2nd CPU (I'm assuming the DP in the name is Dual Processor).
Its currently untested, but I believe that it works (IIRC, the person
that gave it to me said it works, I've never done anything with it since
I got it)
Is this something anyone is interested in? Being that it is dual
processor and DEC, I felt I should specifically list it and offer it
before I toss it. Its a mini tower case, and weighs about the same as a
normal WinTel mini tower PC.
I'd rather it be a pickup item, but if there is a DEC fan that *simply
has to have it*, I'm sure we can work something out with shipping.

You can't hook up a Disk II or 5.25" controller to a 3.5" disk drive..
However, a 3.5" drive can be used in an Apple IIe (not sure about II, II+).
There are two possible combinations:
- Apple sold a drive called a UniDisk 3.5. This drive had a processor and
buffer memory inside the case to allow it to buffer and effectively slow
down the data transfer rate to the point where the Apple IIe could handle
it. You still need to get a special controller card (often referred to as a
"LIRON" card, because the word was silkscreened on the card).
>>
There was also a controller card called the UDC made by Laser computer (IIRC)
that could run various combinations of 5.25 and 3.5 drives. Shouldve got one
back then.
Anyone want these two dual-processor Pentium PCI/MCA servers I have here?
They have some sort of TP ethernet on the motherboard, and they have some
form of wide SCSI, along with hotswap drive cages, and I have a full load
of trays for them. All in all, pretty nice systems. They are IBM PC
Server 320's (8640-MDV). There's still reference disk and BIOS downloads
available for them on ftp.pc.ibm.com. I'd hate to see these go to waste,
but I need the space.
If you feel like throwing a couple of dollars at me for them, it would be
appreciated, as I am out of work right now, but it is not required nor
expected.
Peace... Sridhar
Does anyone have access to V5.01A of RT-11? I would prefer
the RL02 image which has a Volume ID / Owner of:
BC-P607C-BC
RL2 1/1
However, any other media would be great if the RL02 image is
not available!
I already have V5.00, V5.01, V5.01C (V5.01B does not exist)
and V5.02 of RT-11. So it is ONLY V5.01A of RT-11 that
I do not have.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

My Ibm ps/2 286 desktop and gateway 2000 486 laptop
are used on a regular basis
to program motorola two way radios and plc's.
the laptop is used in the field also.
alot of the early plc's (programable logic controller)
and programable radios (from
ge and motorola) use software from the pre 486 era and
cannot run on a
pc faster then a 486 - some won't run on anything
faster the a 386.
the i/o and proc speed on a 486 and up is just too
fast for the software and
the "slowdown" software that put's the cpu into a time
wasting loop causes
even more prob's.
i also dust off the ibm pc/xt every now and then to
play all the early games and
game clones that wont run on anything faster in it's
orignal release.

Hi, all.
So it's like this: I've decided, for reasons which even I don't quite
understand, that I should find a computer to restore to keep my old
PDP-8/I from getting lonely, and (to keep things complicated) that the
new machine should be a PDP-12. It's not _quite_ as involved as searching
for the Holy Grail, but they're certainly not common. :)
I've been going (by phone and e-mail) to check in a lot of the usual
places - electronic surplus stores, university surplus, and so forth -
and have also started checking around with neurologists and neurology
departments, since I gather the -12s were popular choices in neurological
research. So far I've had a few good-sounding leads which haven't gone
anywhere useful. But it's still early in the search.
I'm open to suggestions. :) Anyone have any good ideas, leads or
recommendations on where else to look? (It need not be a working one,
since I'm planning to restore it anyway.)
(O'course, if anyone has a PDP-12 they're willing to consider parting
with, I'd certainly be amenable to discussing it... <grin!>)
Suggestions?
-O.-
I got sick of auctioning off Apple-1's so I thought I'd come up with
something else equally as interesting :)
