First off, if Dennis gets to be 'Dennis K.', then I'd like to become 'Mike H.' in these
cases too.
Yep, I remember that 4041 well... I didn't get a keyboard or any tapes when I got Joe's
machine, but as usual with Joe, there was some nice manualage included. Looked
like a very robust BASIC & GPIB environment.
You do need a keyboard or pre-programmed tapes to run it. It can auto-execute programs
off tape, and a few line program there could redirect the console out a serial port... theorettically.
That keyboard connector looked pretty easy to hack in a homebrew keyboard. I think the
protocol is just serially coded ASCII codes at slow ttl levels, but I no longer have the docs or machine... Sorrry

Whoa buddy! You've asked for it now. Last time I made disparaging
remarks in this list about our beloved and respected journalism
community the crap rained down hard :-)

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand
binary and those who don't.
Hi, is it still available? Where are you? Thanks.

I aquired an aged BA-123 a while back. It has an RQDX3 and the
interesting "distribution board" for the MFM disks.
The floppy (dual RX50) has a cable coming out of it which just hangs in
the air.
I'm guessing that some kind soul removed a card which some how connected
the floppy cable to the disk distribution board. I say this because at
the end of the BA-123 backplane there is a spacer and then two "qbus
like" slots. The bottom slot has the MFM disk distribution board
connected plugged into it and the top slot is empty.
Anyone have a clue about this?
I'll probably ditch the RX50 in favor of a stock PC 5 1/4" drive but
I'll still have to connect it to the RQDX3 somehow.
thanks!

How about two turbo slabs?
How about if they have consecutive serial numbers?
How about several spare mice and keyboards?
BTW, I am planning on bringing the above to VCF Midwest 1.0 and it
will be for sale.
Actually greedy is when you have 113 Next machines. I couldn't help
it though, a local university was about to drop them in the dumpster
when I got wind of their plans. I rescued the whole lot and they
now have new homes.

Trying to organize all the magazines I picked up a bit ago, I came
across some issues of "Computer Notes". Jan 77, Jul-Nov 77, Jan 78.
They look like a Pertec company produced mag about Altair projects. Has
anyone ever heard of the magazine?

I asked the seller what the gray pigtail was for and how you
would use this with a 16500, and as usualfrom an eBay seller,
got no reply.
I have several of these, and when I opened them up they are
completely passive with no connections between the PS2 and
HIL connectors. The pigtail plugs into a 10 pin RJ style on
the back, and the other three connectors run over to it.
Anyone want (cost of shipping) a lock and key (with panel) from a powerstation 530 (I'm guessing- it's still at work). Also from a smaller one, think its a 7012. We dissasemble them at work and I saved these after the thread on these locks and keys. Thanks,
Marc
