Yes, sorry. I did in fact repost and that showed up in an earlier digest than my messed up post. When I saw the first one I was hoping something had filtered out the long one, but apparently it was only delayed. Anyway, I went to fix the subject before I had written the reply (since I read the digest, and my email client doesn't break them up, so the default subject would be worthless), and somehow slipped and sent it instead of getting back to edit the message text. I probably shouldn't try to write anything in the morning before coffee. allan -- Allan N. Hessenflow allanh(a)kallisti.com

FF: IBM S/36 5362 system (Milton Keynes, UK)

by julesrichardsonuk＠yahoo.co.uk

Hi all, Bletchley Park's computer museum has a working IBM S/36 5362 machine going spare - it's been on display (unpowered) in the museum for a while but we need the space for another machine. It could go back into storage, but it's not the sort of thing that's particularly interesting as an exhibit even when it's running, so even if the space were available for display still, it'd probably be way down on the list of desirable things to have in the main room for the public to see. Hence the asking here if anyone wants it. It was running last time anyone powered it up. There's currently a Memorex terminal with it, plus I'm told there are manuals and disks for it (I haven't seen those personally to see exactly how many!) Shout if interested... cheers Jules

list "Archival Options"

by aek＠spies.com

Jay, would you please change "Set date in archive to when the mail is claimed to have been sent, or to the time we resend it?" to "When resent" on the "Archival Options" admin page. This will put the archive in temporal order when viewed "by date"

[was] Dec core mem on eBay

by jwstephens＠msm.umr.edu

I recently snagged three 8K core planes for a Cincinatti Milacron Acramatic system, one processor board and a front panel. These are actually boards that were made by CM under license from Microdata corporation and are actually Microdata 800 or 1600 parts. This is due to Ebay and luck of course, but I was glad to add another licensee of Microdata to my collection. If anyone runs across anything from: Cincinatti Millacron Harris (like the semiconductor company, but really a Mini) Basic Four Reynolds and Reynolds ADP Dealer Services (Reality only, not their LEO Boxes) (LEO boxes were PDP 11/23's which someone else is welcome to) Ultimate (not microdata, but on my radar screen, these are Honeywell Level 6's with co processors) Tellogic (phone switches for hotels, etc) Bitek (phone accounting systems) Please let me know. These will all be 1970 thru 1985 or so vintage, and "minicomputer" in size. Jim Stephens
