A program that I contributed to, "Video Game Invasion: The History of a
Global Obsession", is airing tomorrow night on the Game Show Network
(cable/satellite TV) at 9pm.

That's the S/36 PC right? Ive got the 5364 model complete with a 5150 that it
presumably IPLs from and a twinax terminal. If you've got just the 5362,
you'll need more parts to use it I think.

I have two DEC boards that I hate to sell but need the cash. They both
appear to be in fine work shape, but I haven't tested them. They are:
H217C, PDP-11/10 16K Word core memory board
M7270, PDP-11/03, KD11-HA processor board
I would be interested in your best offers.
Thanks Norm

Does anyone have an extra working/possibly repairable 200LX laying around, that they would be willing to part with for $50 or less? They seem to be selling for far too much on e-bay. I don't really need any of the extra things that are included in all these auctions, memory cards, adapters for this and that, modems, or manuals. I would just like the unit. Thanks in advance for any leads anyone can provide.

I have bought them. These are the very same diagnostics I wrote about on this
list just a short while ago when discussing poor man's alternatives to AXE for
validating new VAX implementations until we can raise enough manpower and
firepower to storm into HP headquarters and seize AXE at gunpoint. These diags
are not specific to 730, I read about them first in an 8200 manual and they test
for correct operation of standard VAX instructions. I understand from the
discussion on this list that their coverage is nowhere near as complete as AXE,
but it's still a more complete test than just seeing my new VAX boot
4.3BSD-Quasijarus. (For example, UNIX makes absolutely no use of executive or
supervisor modes, just kernel and user.)
The next challenge will be reading the TU58s. I have the TU58 mechanical units,
but not the controller board (the board that talks serial on one side and drives
the head coils on the other). So I'll need to find a controller board first
before I can read them. When I do read them, I'll post the block images on my
FTP site.

Went to a school auction and picked up the following:
HP 3000 model 922LX
HP tape drive 7980
2-IBM 5291 Display stations with a maintenance library manual
Dictaphone system model 6110 with KB model 6301, printer 6710, and ext. FD
(51/4) model 6430
All for $10
I think I may have heard someone mention, perhaps in private email, that the
HP3000 was a popular replacement for HP2000 TimeShared BASIC systems. Is
this true? Did it have multiuser BASIC? Any other languages? Did you have a
choice of different OS's on the same hardware? And more importantly, did any
of the 3000's have blinkenlights? :) I know nothing about the 3000 stuff.
Curiousity biting me :)

G'Mornin' Dan;
I saw an ancient post of yours "I recently bought a model 1220 analyzer on eBay which is very similar to the..."
and I find myself in a similar situation: proud owner of a $25 1230 with no pods or probes; wondering if you made any progress in your quest and fantasizing that you may happen to have for sale just what I need.
Any suggestions appreciated :)

Frank will probably give a much better description when he sees this, but
the 3000s built in the 70's had pretty impressive maintenance panels (I
know Frank has one of them..)
MPE was (is) the only operating system. Languages included BASIC, APL, FORTRAN
PASCAL and SPL. There was no assembler. It is a stack machine ala B5xxx series.
I have been scanning a LOT of 3000 material (mostly through the Series III) and
I'm trying to locate distribution tapes from these machines up through MPE IV
(early 80's)
>From what I have found so far, there was a lot of documenation from these early
3000s saved, but none of the old software distributions.
I'll see about getting some docs/pictures up on bitsavers, which is pretty light
on 3000 material right now.

also, bitsavers moved yesterday to a new machine/ip adr which should be transparent
to everybody.
