Longshot: Perhaps that refers to the Adaptec ACB-4000 interface in some way. It's an proto-SCSI to MFM adapter. Ken

Switch specs for Compupro/Godbout Econoram XIII

by dwight.elvey＠amd.com

Hi Frank Good to here from you. It sounds like I have a XIIIA even though the silk screen doesn't say so, the switch configuration matches. I'll see if this brings the boards to life.

Televideo 950 and DEC VT-100 keyboard photos wanted

by TRASH3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

I have a clean vt-100 terminal and keyboard. I can try to scan it, but you will have to live with the yellow numbers on the blank spot where an Id is found, and the VAR sticky label on it. Let me know if you don't find something else suitable joe heck

Economical international freight

by wmaddox＠pacbell.net

I have located several vintage minicomputers that I would like to add to my collection, being offered for a quite reasonable price. Unfortunately, they are currently located in the UK. Shipping for a CPU that I estimate weighs between 25 and 30kg via UPS or Federal Express works out to about US $250. If I go that route, I'll be paying 3/4 of the total cost of the deal on freight, for a one-week delivery time via air. Let's say that I'm perfectly happy to wait a month or two for the machines to arrive slowly on a boat. What options are available? I'd be interested in hearing anyone's experiences in getting large heavy items shipped overseas as economically as possible. Thanks, --Bill

Fujitsu M2294p drives & interfaces

by cheri-post＠web.de

Hi guys, on ebay Germany, a Fujitsu M2294p drive is being sold. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3268253232&category=42794… The thing is that I can't figure out what interface it has. E stands for ESDI S(A) for SCSI B for SCSI-4000 ...but what interface describes the "p" at the end of the model description ? By the way, a Fujitsu M2235B found his way into my collection. Somewhere in the Internet it says that B stands for SCSI-4000, but what is SCSI-4000 exactly ? Any kind of industrial SCSI-interface ? I've never seen one before. Thanks in advance for your hints.

Advice on electrostatic deflection CRT ?

by uban＠ubanproductions.com

Hello, I have what I believe is a custom CRT. It has a 12" round face, is approximately 20" long, and uses electrostatic deflection. It was manufactured by Thomas Electronics Inc. in Wayne NJ and is hand marked as model number 12E35P31, 12-2-78. I am hoping to put this CRT into service and need to come up with a set of specifications which will likely work with it. What other physical information do I need to take from the CRT in order to help determine the specifications? Any suggestions for creating the power supply and deflection drive electronics are welcome. Thanks! --tom

Odd PDP-11 tape related question

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I've got a TPC image, that was originally from a MM: drive, and I've written it back out to a MU: drive (4mm in this case). I'm just trying to read the tape, I'm not trying to do anything fancy like boot from it. Is there any reason that I should have trouble doing this? Zane -- -- | Zane H.

ATR-8000 & other miscellania acquired today

by damosan＠comcast.net

> Much more difficult to use? Yea, that DIR command is *complicated*. You have to view it in the context of the standard Atari DOS commands of the time. CPM was loads more difficult than the standard Atari DOS command set -- if you could even call it a command set. :) --- Damo

Apple RGB monitor

by aw288＠osfn.org

I have an AppleColor RGB monitor taking up space. This is the 12" (or so) tube used with the IIgs, and connects to the machine with the Dmumble cable (I can't remember how many pins - might be 15). This worked last time I tried it out, about two months ago. Anyone need it (with the cable) for a big five bucks? Shipping from 10512. William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org
