Ok, now I'm looking for a manual (or actual hardware) for the Interand
3000, which was sold in the Japanese market as the Interand CT-2.
The full product name is the Interand 3000 Multi-Point Imaging Worksystem.
It allowed full color video-conferencing over a digital or two analog
phone lines and had features that enabled conference participants to
create and edit documents collaboratively, draw on the screen (allowing
the same image to be seen on both sides) and other nifty features. It's
similar to the Telestrator that John Madden "invented" (from what I know
the Telestrator was based on the Interand 3000).
This is related to the Koby Electronics HS300-01 power supply that I'm
trying to locate.
Anyone have any clues? Are there any museums around that might have one?
These are old enough and significant enough that they should qualify.

a lot so SS TTL ICs on it. Does anyone have data for the card?

Hello All,
I found an unusual handhel pocket terminal.
It's housing is the same as the older LED pocket calculators used by Texas Intruments,
but is is not the TM990/xxx terminal as used for Texas own PLC's or TMS9900 based
computers.
This one is apparently made by Gr Electronics, who were based in the UK and in the US.
This is based on the fact that is says 'GR 185-2' on the board.
I searched Google, but I couldn't find any info.
As the housing was loose, I opened it, and it uses an Intel 8048 microcontroller, has 8
character and has a curled cable which has a DB25 connector at the end.
The cable has 7 wires, and when the battery door is opened (this device get's it power
via the cable), a 6 position dip switch is revealed.
There is also a little plastic block which does do some power conversion
(i.e. +5V into + and - 12V)? and a little buzzer. The crystal on the board has a
value of 6.144 (Mhz?).
What I would like to find out is some kind of information/usage/whatever of this
device. It would be great if this device just acts like a plain RS-232 terminal.
Thanks,
Ed

Whilst browsing, I came across this list of computers for sale in the UK:
http://www.jcec.co.uk/Compsale.html
There are a lot of gems there. The site says the systems will be
auctioned off "over the next few months" so I don't know if this is old
and stale or still on-going.
The parent site seems interesting as well:
Japanese Computer Emulation Centre
http://www.jcec.co.uk
The home page has a link to the seller's eBay auctions (which is invalid,
so do a search on seller "j0nstringer") and it looks like he's been
selling off quite a bit of classic micro stuff for the past several
months.

Jay asked about benchmarks for SIMH running HP2000 Access,
Here's a quick chain test for doing 255 (+-) chains with timing for my
SIMH configuration as described (about 23 sec.) I would hope that real hardware
would out perform it. If not I'll have to think about what could be wrong with
the simulator and come up with another test. Let me know what you get, Jay, next
time you have her up.
Thanks again,
Mike.

Folks,
I need some help.
I'm trying to bring up my LSI-11 system (KDA11, BA11-VA Cabinet, RX02,
VT100), and due to a basement flood a few years ago, all of my RX02 media
has been water damaged. This was my last 8" floppy system.
The diskettes are sticking to the jacket, and some bits of the lining are
sticking to the oxide, (or vice versa) anyways I cannot get anything to
boot. I've tried cleaning a few of the media with isopropyl alcohol, but
no success yet.
I had a complete RT-11 V4 distribution (and all the binders) but even the
DEC distribution diskettes got hit. Some of them have mold on the labels.
I'm looking for someone to help me with a copy of a known good bootable
RX02 RT-11 system diskette, and maybe even some diagnostics. There may be
something wrong with the drives, but given the unreliability of my media, I
cannot tell.
I still need to sit down and single step through the bootstrap and figure
out what is bombing, but I could use to remove some variables.
Can anyone help me? Easiest if you are in the area, I could pick up.
Thanks,
Dave. (In the northwest side of the Boston Area)
