HP 5423A analyzer

by lbickley＠bickleywest.com

Bob, I saw a thread in classiccmp.org where you said "Its quite easy to 'unmodify' the customized 21MX and turn it back into a normal E-series. I've done this modification several times, contact me off-list if you want the details." I've got a HP 5423A and I'd sure like the details!!!!

More Goodies from the Silicon Valley Refugee

by ran＠netgate.net

Thanks for your replies to my previous posting: I managed to find homes for almost everything. I've been going through the boxes in the garage, and found a surprising assortment of little tidbits left over from my old computers. Except as otherwise noted, the hardware is used, in "excellent" or "like-new" cosmetic condition. I say "probably working" a lot, but it has a better than 90% chance of being fully functional. The paper stuff is generally is "visibly used, but not abused" condition. All prices are "plus postage". Yes, I know that the shipping cost will often be more than what I'm asking for the goods, but I don't get to set the rates. If this *really* bothers you, let me know: I'll be happy to raise the price to correct the imbalance ;-) I'd prefer PayPal, but any form of payment that doesn't cost me money in bank fees is fine. Ran Here's the list: Pet Pack - $5 Osborne's PET User Guide Osborne's "PET and the IEEE-488 Bus" VIC-20 Pack - $12 Original user manual (cover somewhat scuffed, "good+" condition) Commodore's programmer's guide Osborne's VIC-20 User Guide (you can have this "semi-autographed" if you want, but I lost touch with my co-author about 15 years ago, so you'll have to settle for "semi-", unless you want to track him down). Compute's "Gazette" for the VIC and C-64, first issue A VICModem (probably 300 baud, probably working. No labels on it, though. This might've been a prototype or pilot unit, and is cosmetically only somewhat better than "good"). A 3-slot backplane board from Atari Pack - $5 Star Raiders cartridge Telink II cartridge (modem program??) No docs or box with these. I'd say the odds are better than 95% that both are good. I *think* I still have a couple of cassette apps (probably games) from the Atari Program Exchange hanging around. I'll throw those in if they turn up, and you want them. PCjr Pack - $25 IBM Tech Reference (in the slipcase, in "as-new" condition) Floppy controller board (should be working: as I recall, I pulled this to install a Tecmar add-on with better features) Modem board (probably 1200 baud. Enough chips are socketed that it's probably feasible to hack this into a serial card) 3 cordless keyboards 1 keyboard IR receiver module (dealer spare) 1 pack of 5 overlays for the keyboards (sealed) First issues of "PCjr" and "Peanut" magazines My (possibly incorrect) recollection is that one keyboard is the original from my PCjr (little-used, because I upgraded to the more-normal one almost immediately), one was a dealer spare that I bought along with the receiver, and the third was a swapmeet buy. So there should be at least two in (like-)new working condition. C-64 Speech synthesizer cartridge - $5 each "Voice Messenger", by Currah Technologies. I have 2 of these, still shrinkwapped. Uses a hardware synthesizer chip (SSI263??), and has an extension ROM that adds speech functions to the built-in BASIC. The first buyer gets a free light pen that plugs into the joystick port, but has no docs or software unless I get a surprise while sorting through my old files. My recollection is that there's a photodiode in it that generates an interrupt when the CRT beam sweeps past it. Fat Mac Pack - $2 (Or "Skinny Mac Pack", if that's what you've got. But that didn't rhyme ;-). I have a numeric keypad for the original Macs, in the original packaging. The box looks a *bit* shelfworn, but surprisingly good, considering its age. The most likely story is that it's a working unit that the buyers of my early Macs didn't want, because it's unlikely that I would have packed it and kept it if it weren't. But I honestly don't know its real status. Mac II Pack - $5 Nobody wanted the Mac II, so it's doomed to be recycled. But the Enhanced keyboard and the mouse are in excellent shape, since I used the Mac only moderately for a few years, and more-or-less retired it when OS/2 got to the point where it would fill my GUI needs. Sony Laser Library - $20 Sony-proprietary-interface 1X CD-ROM drive, bundled with Compton's Family Encyclopedia, MS Bookshelf 1991 Edition, Languages of the World, National Geographic Mammals, Mixed-Up Mother Goose, and a World Atlas (I've forgotten whose). There was a 1.1 update to the encyclopedia that Sony sent out due to some sort of complaints about the 1.0, and that's included. I'll also include a half-dozen or so caddies. This was one of the first CD-ROM drives to get drivers for OS/2 and Linux, so it may be of interest to someone wanting to run early versions of those, as well as DOS fans. I put relatively few hours on the drive before I switched my system to all-SCSI, so it should be good for a lot more use. I'll give you a 90-day warranty on it: if it fails, I'll refund the $20 (but not the shipping), and you get to keep the CDs and caddies. I might actually have the original box up in the attic (but it may not be suitable for re-use after being there for so many years). The docs are probably complete: I can't swear to them being fully complete, because I don't remember what was included.

greetings all, I'm agblood. I've got a c128, a trs-80 mc-10, several XTs and ATs, and a TP-340, (there's more but that is the basics).

To Whom it may concern. I am currently trying to catoluge an obsolete electric car program. One of things I have come across are boxes of Ansley connectors (cat. # 612-1604). I am sure there are other types of connectors too. Is this something you or someone you know might be interested. Thank You, Don Parnell / railsidellc

HP 2895 (paper tape punch, facit 4070) assistance sought

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

This weekend I actually got around to building my final HP2000/Access system. Today was spent completely disassembling the dual bay rack, cleaning, touchup painting, and reassembling. I finally have the "right" racks that HP2000 was usually sold in, so everything matches the HP2000 site preparation and installation guide. I'm taking large amount of pictures of the restoration, and at some point I'll get them up on the web along with descriptions. I'm doing it with 2100's again, but I'm trying to come up with a way to use E series machines. One thing I was looking at... HP has a 2895 paper tape punch, which is actually a facit 4070 bit with a totally custom drawer/slide thing. I can not figure out how this thing is supposed to contact/mount with the rails in the rack to save my life. Does anyone have the 2895 rackmounted, who could offer a few key clues as to how it's mounted in their rack? The installation guide doesn't address rackmounting. Thanks for any help! Jay West
