I found this while poking around at the Smithsonian's site. <http://smithsonianchips.si.edu/ice/4004thb.htm>. In Windows you can click on each picture to get a larger view then you can right click on each individual picture and save just the brochure page. Joe

DEC VAX 785 and PDP11/70's in Kansas City

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

I just got word from a friend that a company in Kansas City is planning to dispose of the following. DEC VAX 785 in three 6' cabinets DEC PDP 11/70 in ten 6' cabinets, this may be two computers 4 RM03 disk drives 2 TU80 tape drives Other disks for VAX That is what they remembered without actually having a list. I'm trying to set up a time to actually see them. Here is the other information I have received. There is a company from Topeka that will take them away if they are paid to remove them. The 785 was running 3 months ago when they erased all of the media. It has been about a year since the 11/70's were on. They are not currently running. They are checking on the legal requirements that they may have to go through to dispose of these units. They are worried about making sure they aren't legally libel if somebody dumps them improperly. Whoever takes them away may have to be a GE approved vender. I'll keep everybody informed. Thanks Mike

Hi John An issue for the plastic tags but not for the aluminum ones. I always prefold the plastic ones with good success. It is still a pain. Dwight

Vector Graphic Model SD-5031, aka Vector MT

by donm＠cts.com

I have the Vector Graphic machine listed in the subject line. It is a tan S-100 box with black panel, and a tan monitor that carries a logo plate that says "VECTOR MT". This Vector is equipped with a hard drive and a single DSDD 100tpi floppy disk drive. The hard drive controller (ST-506 interface) and the floppy drive controller (16 hard sector) are contained in the same S-100 card. The card etch dates it as 1980, and a silk screened note says it is a "FD & HD Controller". Despite considerable time spent with google and other search engines, I have been unable to locate any information of value about this machine. I have been using it quite successfully for some time. However, very recently, access to the floppy has become most erratic and the usual result is the error message "DRIVE NOT READY". However, on occasion it is possible to read the directory and read some of the files on an installed disk. I suspect that the cause of the problems are with the controller card, but without documentation I hardly know where to start any troubleshooting. So, to the point of all of this! If anyone has any documentation on this machine that they would be willing to share with me, please contact me either privately or publically. It will be highly appreciated!!! - don
