Hi,
here is the problem:
I have an old manual which spent some time in water, and now after it
dried out, I have more or less just a piece of wood :(
So, how do you guys deal with something like that ? Put it in water
again, and try to remove page after page ?
Any better ideas ?
cheers

I have three of these beasts to maintain - one on my 11/44 system, two
for 'partz'. I'd love to have the manual.. I can copy/return, or copy
forward to archivist...

I have a copy scanned, will try to get it over to www.spies.com/aek/pdf/kennedy
in the next day or so. I have a 9000 manual scanned as well.
Went out this past weekend and found several interesting items. The
weirdest is a Kavouras Triton SX computer built by Kavouras in Minneapolis.
This thing is a Multibus computer and has a bunch of ports on the back,
including a lot of video, sync and color ports. Also ports for terminal,
MODEM, tablet, control and <B>Doppler</B>! I searched the net and the only
thing that I could find out about Kavouras was that they deal with weather
forecasting and broadcasting. Finally found this link,
<http://www.kktv.com/station/jobs/381481.html>, and realized that what I
have is probably a computer used to generate graphics for weather
forecasting. Neat! Probably too unique just to scrap for parts. Anyone
interested in it? I'll swap for something useful/interesting or sell it for
a few bucks. Has a hard drive and floppy drive in it. It looks complete but
some of the cables have been unplugged from the cards and I don't know
where they go so I haven't tried to power it up.

PS other finds included two dedicated computers with a pile of PC/104 cards
in them.
This system may not be 10 years old, but hopefully someone can answer
this for me anyway...
Quick one here. I have one of those EB64/PC64 motherboards, but only a
200MHz CPU for it. Problem is, the board is set up for a 266MHz CPU. Has
anybody overclocked a 200MHz CPU to 266 in one of these? With
appropriate fans for good cooling, of course.
Also, these boards can run off of a regular AT style power
supply, correct?

By my fault. By my fault. By my grevious fault. Please disregard my blather about the need for the IBM whatever 60. I was the middle-man for a restauranteer whose point-of-sale computer had gorked and jumped to you guys without viewing his layout. Turns out it was a dinky running PC Dos. His 30 employees have been using scratch pads. Forgiveness is begged. .. harry ..

Well, here is the list of manuals for tape drives and formatters. I have
a couple of controller manuals at work (emulex/dilog qbus )
And yes, Al, you can borrow any of the manuals to make an archive. I'll
let you know exactly what I have for tapes to read in the next week or so.
Thanks.

I'd be happy to read the tapes for you.
If possible, I'd like to borrow any Pertec formatter manuals
that you have to add to the www.spies.com/aek/pdf/pertec
archive.
