I once had an Apple IIc that didn't have a power supply. Radio Shack sells a regulated 15v supply, rather inexpensively, and I bought that and made up a cable to go from that to the IIc. It worked nicely until the unit was stolen from my car. I've since gotten another with a monitor, the stand and a power supply. I am looking for a Laser128EX. I did a lot of programming on one of those, back in the day. Al __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Visual Technology Terminals models 55 and 310

by d_cymbal＠hotmail.com

For those that followed my ADM3 terminal saga, most of the "Lear Sieglers" turned out to actually be the above terminals (there is still a "mystery terminal" that I can't ID, I am going to have to post a picture somewhere...) Most of these have manufacture dates at or about 1981. Anybody have any info on these? What they emulate, if they are of any interest, etc. Want to take one (or 5) off my hands ;-)

Wanted Commodore Equipment

by musicman＠satcom.whit.org

Although I would prefer a nice VAX or PDP in my basement, I can't afford 'the big boys'. Does anyone want to get rid of any old Commodore Equip? I need anything from C-64 up, and any accessories (tape drive, disk drive, software). I almost had a PET that was at the Goodwill, until one of the employess grabbed it and said they already bought it...yeah right! Thanks musicman(a)satcom.whit.org

Free Computers in St. Louis - SGI 4D/310VGX, NEC APC, Altos 1086, IBM 5363 & 5247

by nick＠computer-history.org

I have several systems available free for pickup in St. Charles, Missouri, just outside of St. Louis. The systems are: NEC APC - This machine is complete but somewhat yellowed. It's an old 8086 CP/M system with two 8" floppy drives and a monochrome screen. SGI Iris 4D/310VGX - This machine is in very good condition. It's the size of a large dorm fridge and includes several boards but no hard drives. IBM 5363 System/36 - This is a small member of the IBM System/36 line. It is the size of a large PC tower and includes several hard drives. IBM 5247 - I think this is a hard disk unit for the IBM System/23 line of computers. It may work with others as well. Altos 1086 - This machine is the size of a large PC tower. This is an 80286 machine designed to run XENIX. I also have two SGI 20" color monitors available. If you are interested or have any questions you may contact me at nick(a)computer-history.org These machines are all quite large and are available for pickup only. If there are no takers you will probably see them on the Vintage Computer Market Place and then on eBay, they won't end up in the landfill. This shouldn't be considered a rescue, I'm just trying to make room for machines that I have more interest in. No software or manuals are included with any of the systems. Thanks, Nick

Hi, Just got it in, but cant use it: a very nice Fujitsu rack on casters, same form factor and looks as the DEC BA123, with space and rails to hold two 8" (Fuji) SMD drives. Yes, the drives are included. :) Given the size and weight, for local pickup only, in Holland. If interested, contact me off-list. Cheers, Fred

Dayton Hamvention (slight return)

by kahrs＠caip.rutgers.edu

To paraphrase my friend Bob: "It ain't Dayton if it don't rain". Friday was the best day in my 3 years of going. I do recall seeing a SPARC 5 on basically standing in a puddle. I saw several SPARCStations around as well as a Netra T1. Oh yes, a PILE of Data General multiprocessor 386 RAIDs (was this their last machine?). List price was $75 each. If you wanted soldering stuff, this was the year to go, lots of different irons and tips. Last year there was an oversupply of cables; I didn't see that this year. And lots of small capacity disks everywhere. At least it was warmer this year than last but the rain makes it difficult just because everything is covered. I'll go next year just because it's fun to see what's there. And to see how the maxim "One man's junk is another man's treasure" applies...

Still looking for the Alpha Microsystems VideoTrax PC interface

by vcf＠siconic.com

I'm still seeking out the PC interface for the Alpha Microsystems VideoTrax VHS tape drive. I've scored the drive (which is just a slightly modded Panasonic VCR) but I still need the interface, which is the last important piece of this puzzle I'm working on. I have no idea what it would look like exactly. It probably has some phono jacks on the back, and a one or two row header with anywhere from 4 to 8 pins. It probably is labeled "Alpha Microsystems". If anyone's got such a beast then you will be my New Best Friend :) Willing to pay good money. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
