Need NS MM5740AAE/N keyboard encoder

by vcf＠siconic.com

I tried replacing the dead National Semoconductor MM5740AAE/N keyboard encoder chip on this Datanetics keyboard with an MM5740AAC/N thinking the C might just be some minor revision or whatnot and shouldn't make a difference. Well, I'm not sure if there is some greater thing wrong with this computer, but the keys don't map properly: Key => 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 : - Chr -> R F ^ A I U Y M C O S K D'oh! I can't find any data for this chip. Does anyone know if in fact the AAC is different from the AAN? Anyone got data? Anyone got a spare MM5740AAE/N? -- 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 ]

Remembering RAMAC

by aek＠bitsavers.org

a few choice quotes from the article: "disks were coated with magnetic iron oxide paint, similar to that on the Golden Gate Bridge." Ah.. now I know where to get the stuff to fix the head crashes on my 2315 packs. "Before the advent of magnetic disk storage, computers stored their information on rolls of magnetic tape or coded punch cards. Retrieving information could take hours or days." Or magnetic drums, which did NOT have the access time problems of tape or cards (but, unfortunately weren't an IBM invention) " he has been pushing to create a museum at 99 Notre Dame Ave. He may get his wish. The San Jose City Council recently passed a resolution promising to begin discussions around the idea." You can look at the success and speed the "little city that could" has had with doing anything with the PERHAM and CHAC collections for what is going to happen with this idea.

Need Digital VT102 and Hewlett-Packard A1099B Keyboards

by david_comley＠yahoo.com

I am looking out for a couple of keyboards for project systems I am assembling. I need a VT102 keyboard (the original DEC one), plus an HPIL keyboard for a 9000/300. I think the HP keyboard carries the designation A1099B. If anyone has either of these items they'd be willing to part with please let me know.

11/23 9trk RM03 in Huntsville

by aek＠bitsavers.org

I noticed an RM03 in a ebay posting, so I asked if it was for sale. Here's the reply. Obviously this will only be of interest in pickup range. If someone is serious about this, I'll forward you his email adr. === You asked: "are you going to be selling the CDC 9762 that the generator is sitting on?" Boy... you've opened a can of worms. If you will send me your email address then I will send pictures of my 1st home computer... PDP-11/23 with 9 track tape.. Qbus to Unibus converter to drive the disk as an RM-03 etc... My daughter has it posted on the local BB at her company and I've given them until next Friday to respond. Then the whole ball-of-PDP wax is going to go on ebay.. If you are interested in all or just the disk drive we can discuss it by private email since its not been comitted to ebay yet... Best regards

Don Maslin's archive

by aek＠bitsavers.org

> These items can be duplicated without any destruction of the originals. This may or may not be true depending on the condition of the media. Floppies suffer the same 'sticky shed' problems that magnetic tape does. Depending on the condition of the binder, I have seen floppies stripped to the clear mylar in little concentric rings when they were tried.

OT: Couple of google groups questions

by julesrichardsonuk＠yahoo.co.uk

Now that those of us in the UK are forced to use the new google groups interface to their archive... 1) How do I see how active a group is or what groups exist in a particular hierarchy? (e.g. I used to be able to stick "comp.sys.sun" into the search field and it'd show me both that hierarchy and group activity, which was handy when deciding where to post) 2) Are full email addresses available to view by registered users? It used to handy being able to try and contact someone from x years ago who had knowledge of something I wanted details on. Now Google seem to be masking them all though... I'll send these two to Google themselves of course, but as you US guys have been stuck with the new interface for months maybe you already have answers... 3) Is anyone else archiving usenet or do Google have sole control? cheers Jules

Neon bulb logic elements

by leeedavison＠yahoo.co.uk

I'm (far too) slowly clearing through umpteen years of accumulated quality second user parts getting ready to move house. While sorting through one box I found one of my first completed projects, a neon heads/tails unit. I don't remember where I got the circuit from, I do remember building and testing it on my bed before I re-built it into it's box. Sometimes I'm suprised I survived those early experiments. For anyone interested it's written up here .. http://www.themotionstore.com/leeedavison/misc/first/index.html http://members.lycos.co.uk/leeedavison/misc/first/index.html .. remember, don't try this at home.

Northstar Advantage - Demo Diagnostic Disk found

by john_a_s2004＠hotmail.com

Hi, I have now found and successfully copied the 'Demo/Diagnostic' disk for the NorthStar Advantage. This is a hard sector floppy, so consequentially I don't know how to back it up to a PC and e-mail it. If anyone wants a copy and can provide a blank hard sector floppy (5.25" 10 sector) please e-mail for address details.
