I have a hazy memory saying that some time back, someone here on the
list was looking for an AUI multiport transceiver (ie, a device that
presents one host interface and several, usually 8, transceiver
interfaces, thus allowing one "real" transceiver to serve multiple
hosts). The memory says that I was going to send one I have and don't
expect to ever use again to this person, but something intervened and I
never sent it.
If this sounds like you, drop me a note and I'll see if I can't get it
sent off to you.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
Sound like most of you do business with Sellam Ismail, Erik Klein or Bruce
Lane.
I will talk with the other family members this week and educate myself a bit.

Answers to your questions:
Where in the Pacific NW?
Dad's stuff is in a few locations in the Tri-Cities (Richland, Pasco, and
Kennewick, WA). We are in the dry-desert side of the state. We are about 4 hours
>from either Seattle or Portland, 2.5hrs from Spokane, and about 6hrs from
Boise. US395 & I82 intersect here.
Do I have a list of items? How much is ?overwhelming??
There is a 60x40 shop, a 40x20 shop, and a 4 bedroom house.
I am unable to make a complete list, because of the ?mouse in a maze?
environment. We shuffle sideways down the halls, and follow paths through the living
and dining room. Two of the bedrooms are look-in, not step-in rooms. The
garage ? well it is a very careful adventure, and only a quarter of the way
ventured. Furniture consists of workbenches and shelves mostly. He collected, but
rarely parted with anything. Wish I could have hooked him up with you guys a
year ago. (Hindsight 20/20) He was very proud of some of his finds. He would have
enjoyed the treasure hunt.
Thanks Again.

This week I bought an Apple Newton through the VCM. I noticed that the system
automatically moved the unit from the seller's "my collection" list into my own
list. That was pretty cool.
Hi
I see that you in October 2003 were looking for the Rockwell R6765
datasheet (Ref.:
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2003-October/021129.html). If
you by any means got hold of it, would there be a possibility that you
could share it with me?

I have been curious all my life, about things: something to play with,
investigate or know more about. However, a challenging process is often
better than firm results which tend to leave you in the void between lesser
storage space and the constant urge for something new.
FYI I went over and visited Ed today and bought the o'scope. He has a
nice old IBM PC XT if anyone is interested in one. He's the original owner
and thinks that he still has the original reciepts, etc for it. He bought
it WITHOUT a hard drive! It still has the two original HH floppy drives
with the * on them. He's installed a hard card and a 3 1/2" floppy drive.
It still has the original floppy drive controller in it. I think he has all
or most of the other original cards for it. He has several different video
cards for it including a Paradise CGA card that can drive a monochrome
monitor. He has a Amber Amdek monitor for it and I think he also has a VGA
monitor and video card for it. The machine is in very good condition. If
anyone wants a good original IBM computer they should give him a call.

Yes it is. The only real difference is that the Rockwell chip allows up to 255
step pulses when zeroing the head, while the Nec device will fail after 77.
Means you may have to do it twice with the NEC device if you have 80 track
drives).
You can grab the 765 datasheet from my "parse.com" page (see below), it's
available under the "Dunfield 6809" entry (I used it in the design of this
machine).

I have seen documentation of three commercial Z8000 systems; the
Olivetti M20, the Zilog system 8000 (I think that was its name), and the
Ithica DPS-8000
==
Central Data in Champaign/Ubana made a Multibus Z8K board that they sold
with their OS and Xenix.
I'll get the docs up on bitsavers for it eventually. I also have some stuff
for the Zilog S8000

Does anyone know where I might be able to locate a plastic
front cover for a Tektronix 2465a scope? I tried Tektronix
and they say that they no longer stock parts for the older
equipment.
For reference, it is 12"x6".

Hi
Isn't this just a uP765 floppy controller? I think this is
available from several sources. This is what was used on the
first PC's. I think Intel has a different number for this as well.
