To all on the list and especially those that have helped me over the past few months have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy (and prosperous) New Year!

Anybody have any suggestions aout how to identify what drive/system these
are for? I picked up several 15" removeable disk cartridges earlier this
week but I don't know what drive or system they're for. It looks like they
came from a GenRad test station so it was probably some kind of DEC based
system. A couple of the disks say "Scopus Corporation System 90". Anybody
have any idea what that is? One disk was made by Magntic Data and is a
model 46. Another was made by Nashua and it's model 4416-16. I just found
another marking that says one of the disk is for a GenRad 1796 ssytem.
Anybody know anything aboutt the Genrad test stations? I think I have all
of the system disks for that system. FWIW the system was used for testing a
transponder for the MilStar satellite.

Hi
Grainger claims to be a whole saler. They like to
always deal with companies. Even though not incorporated,
they have no problem selling to our small water system
company ( 7 homes ) but won't sell to me as an individual.
If it is taxable, they don't need a tax number. I'd
suspect that if you gave them most any fictitious name
they would sell to you without question, even in small
amounts.

I have a xerox copy which I will PDF and send to you and make generally
available. It may take a week or two given the holiday madness, but I will
get it to you.

Hello.
I have a couple of still sealed Teletype Model 43s.
The units have never been opened, and they come in a
box, which is wrapped in a foil with dissicant inside.
I also have one open unit. I was wondering if you
would be interested in the item or can tell me what is
the value of it.
thanks
Zafar Bangash.

I'm preparing some space on my desk for an incoming IIc -- does anyone know its
physical dimensions or have one they can measure for me? Couldn't find the
answer on the web...

OK! I finally used 2, 3 brain cells, worked out the problem
with my Centrol Data 64K RAM and got my CP/M machine working
fine. (ANother SRAM dies in the Seattle 16K card... a bad sign).
Ran a half day's worth of mem tests (good ones) seems OK.
Took the bad bearing out of the noisy B: drive (it was a sealed
ball bearing ass'y, not a plain like I thought; I washed it out,
added some light lube, wrote down the part number, will order
one, it's quieter in the mean time).
Got the serial port working (simply plugged into the "PC"
serial card (PCMCIA) in my linux laptop), default 9600 baud
worked as-is!
Using minicom on linux. XMODEM protocol failed; not sure what
the problem is. Possibly minicom's XMODEM doesn't do checksum
xmodem, only crc, my program (telink) doesn't do crc. So I did
everything as ASCII.
I converted a few diskettes worth, most notably CBBS 3.5,
1980 version. I had a read error on MODEM 2.17' diskette,
but a head clean might solve it (the head goops up every 30
minutes... not a good sign).
This was just a half-assed first-pass at the job. I really
should simply plug the drive into linux and copy them, I'll
probably do that, but I want to shake down the system too.

Just a raw dir for now, it'll grow into a real web page.
i design one board install in PC for example
in PII 333Mhz and connect to HP2100 (connect to I/O for
HP7900A disc in 2100) HP2100 think connected to hp7900
but it connect to new board . new borad work like hp7900
data on hp7900 save in file on PC this board get data
>from PC and send it to HP2100 or get from HP2100 and send
to PC for replace in file. all thing work like hp7900
stuts word ,addressing,send and recive data.

While browsing the Wayback Machine, I found that Archive.org
now has all the episodes of Computer Chronicles online.
Six hundred eighteen episodes, 1983 to 2002. Amazing.
Arranged by keyword, with show descriptions. MPEG4
are about 78 meg, MP4 half that.

I have a stack about the same size, and I've been thinking about
scanning stuff like that (to PDFs or 600dpi TIFF), when my department
gets its big scanner, probably in January (Sorry, Henk, it's not an
Oce). A list of what's available would be good. I suspect that a lot
of what I have overlaps with Henk's, but if I can fill in any gaps,
I'll try to do so. Some of the diags are quite long, tens of sheets
2-up, double-sided, except for the first few pages, as Henk says, but
some are relatively small.

Sorry about the spelling and dropped characters in my last post, BTW.
Must fix this keyboard (right after I fix these fingers).
