I've found several keyboards with the foam pads. Incidentally, none were of either the Keytronic or Sun type that I've heard other people talk about. All the Keytronic keyboards and two of the Sun keyboards I checked do not have the pads, but rather rubber "cones". I've gotten fairly good at being able to determine which keyboards have the pads and which ones don't based on the feel of the keypress. Anyway, if anyone needs these pads for restoration work, I'll sell the relevant part of the keyboard for $10 plus shipping (minus extraneous plastic/metal to reduce weight), or I'll take all the pads out for you for $20 plus shipping. It may well work out to be a wash either way. Figure the cost is $.20 per pad if you have me take them out, which I think is a good deal. E-mail me privately if interested. -- 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 ]

Altos 386/1000 - anyone got install media?

by gordon＠gjcp.net

Hi there, I've just got an Altos 386/1000 with what appears to be 14M of memory, an expansion board with four RS232 ports and possibly two AUI ports (one is certainly AUI), and a 300-odd Mb hard drive that I suspect is dying. Does anyone have a copy of some install media for this? I would like to try another, healthier (and possibly quieter) SCSI drive in the old beast. I think it probably boots an installer from tape, but there is a 5.25" floppy drive as well. Thanks folks, Gordon JC Pearce.

First computer with real-time clock?

by toresbe＠ifi.uio.no

EUREKA! Reading Scott Stevens' post regarding the FORTRAN decks, a bell suddenly rang inside my wee head. http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/1965.html The 7090 had an accurate, mechanical TOD clock. I feel so clever now! ^_^ -tsb Please CC any replies to me (toresbe(a)ifi.uio.no) as my cctech digest is unreliable at best.

TKQ50 proms

by trash3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

Pete, I have a few tqk50 controllers (at least they are qbus and run tk50 drives). I'll have to look up the numbers but I'm pretty sure they say tqk50 on them. I am in the Boston, MA area. If I can fire up my eprom programmer and they are of the 27xxx ilk, I can read them. If not, I'll ship you a board, since I am a little closer. Joe Heck

Hi I'm mixing it up with one of the others. It looks like it is the comparator. I stand corrected. Dwight >From: "Pete Turnbull" <pete(a)dunnington.u-net.com> > >On Aug 9 2004, 9:10, Dwight K.

I'm 99% sure you're not correct. They're 6-bit bus comparators. DM8136 is the Signetics part number, and DS8136 is the NatSemi one; alas I have data for neither. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
