Both HX-20 and PX-8 came with some variation of the HOOAA? Adapter
(HOOAAG for 220V, HOOAAU-A for 240V, ...)
Not sure about the PX-4, which has smaller cells, but charges ok with
the adapter mentioned above.
You can replace the old C-type NiCd cells with modern NiMh penlights.
The capacity is similar and so is charging (using the primitive way
Epson implemented it). And these are considerable cheaper.
I did make a small page containing the information I have on the PF-10:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~fjkraan/comp/px8/pf10/.
Important to know is that the unit is not designed to be used from the
mains adapter. This is only for charging. Charging and operation should
not be done at the same time.

Does anyone know of a good on-line reference to VMS internals.
I'm not looking for anything too in-depth. At the moment, I'm
mostly looking for something along the lines of "here are the
major components and how they fit together." I've got most
of an orange wall and a copy of the old software handbook,
but I'm not finding anything like that there. I know about
the VMS Internals and Data Structures book and if I have to
I'll find a copy, but I'm not really looking for something
that detailed anyway.
Thanks in advance,
Brian L. Stuart
Anybody have, or know where I can get, a datasheet for these chips I have
some of that are marked "74S409" and "DP8409"? I haven't had much luck
finding one so far...

I had hoped to use the holiday to think this over, however I continue to
receive private email badgering me about the ImageDisk source code.
I received one this evening from a list member who states that I have caused
harm by my development of the program, and apparently I am also being
held responsible for at least one pile of "hard to find" disks that will not be
preserved because of my efforts.
I've had enough, and I don't need this crap.
Effective immediately, I have cancled the ImageDisk project. My offer to
make the source code available by request is hereby withdrawn. I have
removed the images section from my site. If you have copies of any of this
material, I would respectfully ask you to please delete them, or at least not
make my material available. I want this program to have never existed.

Since you guys are bringing up some unusual stuff with modems, I thought of
something else I have in storage...
Got a pair of units that are designed to be used on a 4-wire (!) leased line,
or something. There's no "smarts" in the modem portion of it at all, though
there is a separate board in there (with a separate serial connector) that
has a z80 on it to do some sort of diagnostics. They're 9600 baud, but
since they're set up for a 4-wire connection I don't forsee me having any
possible use for them.
Was thinking about scrapping them out, as they're in cases that are quite
nice, but I'll entertain offers to the contrary. :-)

Hi.
Just found this in my spares box. I was going to salvage the display but its not big enough for what I wanted it for.
It seems to work fine, so if anyone wants to add it to their collection make me an offer.

Does anyone have a user manual for a Microwriter MW4 chording keyboard-thing?
If so, is there a procedure given to do a hard reset if the batteries
have gone totally flat and you've recharged them? I have one of these
devices which I am currently running off my bench supply (4.8V) in place
of the NiCd. It seems to power up OK, and you can type exactly 8
characters befroe it locks up.
Before I start testing the processor (1802), RAM (6116s), etc, I wondered
if it was simply not initialised correctly and I needed to do some kind
of hard reset.

I hear everyone talking about storing their collections and whatnot.
But what about HOW they're stored?
Or, if not collections, how you keep your equipment...
I've been doing housekeeping with my equipment all week, and I've finally
got it sorted thus far -- http://www.tehproxy.com/room/
How's everyone else keep their stuff? Hopefully a little better then I.. :)
I'm looking for about 20-40 units of serial terminal, with 20 being
the bare minimum that I need for the project. Realistically, spares
will be needed, so more than 20 units are preferred.
A more modern vintage preferred. Something reliable. All units
should be the same color (amber/green) phosphor and have the same size
CRT. In this particular situation I'm looking for something cheap,
cheap, cheap, not something collectible.
They will be repurposed as functioning components in a large rack-mount
project I'm working on.
Originally I was going to do this with a bunch of old PCs, but only
recently it occurred to me that using a bunch of say Wyse 50 terminals
would be a better solution.
I'm thinking someplace like a bank or whatnot that replaces all of its
serial terminals with PCs in an upgrade and dumps them all at once.
I see *tons* of palettes of VGA monitors these days, but rarely do I
see palettes of terminals and the onesy-twosy places are still
catering to a replacement market so they charge an arm and a leg.
Any ideas on how to find something like this? Or do I have to keep
waiting until noone is using terminals at all, not even in the 3rd
party market?

Has anyone tried the new NetBSD 3.0 on VAX yet? the 2.x series had a broken install (among other things), and took a bit to get running on my setup (3176), just wondering if v3/VAX had any big bugs
