Hi All
I didn't realize this was a group listing but that's OK. I would like to
let you all know that the PDP11 is gone. It went the following day.
I would like to clarify some things that seems to be the real issues with
the KSR33. I am located on the West Coast in Portland Oregon. My
mistake for not putting that in the original note. There has been concern
about the shipping costs and the actual packing of the TTY for shipment.
I have never had to pack up something like this or know what the costs
would be for shipping it to the East Coast. It seems like most of the
responses that I got were somewhere near the east coast.
I am really interested in getting rid of this TTY but I need some more
explicit help on how to prepare this for shipping.

Thanks - I don't know why they didn't turn up while I was googling,
but I downloaded their catalog, and looks like they have exactly what
I need so I have ordered a couple.
Regards,
Dave

Hi
Although, I didn't bid on this item, what I hate the most
about eBay is that if I bid what I'm willing to pay and
I'm the second to highest bidder, I realize that the
other fellow would have gotten the unit for less, had I
not bid at all.
Somehow, I feel bad about that. If there were several
others out bidding me, then what the heck.

Hello all,
I have two IBM PS/2 Model 30 computers in need of hard drives. The
IBM part number is 72X7568, and is a 20MB drive. This has IBM's
proprietary interface that includes power and data on the same cable.
If anyone has one or two of these drives available, let me know
off-list, and we may be able to come to a deal...
Thanks!

What is that, a TU-11?
--
UWM had a TU-56 drive and a TC08 controller, an RF08, and two RK05s
with mods that Bart and Sam did to the monitor to support it before
DEC supported them. It also had a high speed paper tape reader/punch.
>
Did you ever work with Dick Bartlein, or SaMilosovich?
--
Yes. Bart and Sam were still around when I started. I was one of the
people who dismantled the system when the 750 moved in. I still regret
giving the DECtapes away to Gary Coleman in Cleveland. There is a small
chance that Jeff Russ may have ended up with them when I bought Gary's
collection, but I've never been able to get a DECtape inventory from
him.
Any information on TSS-8 is always greatly appreciated [I have a
decent collection started] as well as hardware or actual software.
--
The version that John Wilson used and the one that I used at UW-M are
up at www.bitsavers.org/bits/dec/ascii (basic, johw, uwmMonitor)
Binary paper tape images from John are at bits/dec/pdp8/papertapeImages/set1
The LINCtapes from Lyle Bickley's PDP-12 should have a bunch of material as
well.
Various versions of the manuals are at www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp8/tss8/

Finding hardware capable of running the monitor will be difficult. RF08's
were rare 20 years ago. All but the last versions of TSS/8 required either
DF32s or RF08s for swapping, but DF32s are only 32kwords. Bob Supnik has
TSS/8 running in simulation with SIMH.
