I actually have one of these and wondered what it was. I rescued it from
someone's front veranda a few years ago but have never fired it up. I'd
like to give the drives a really good clean before I do but haven't got
around to sourcing any documentation on this machine. I basically got a
box full of dust which happened to have some electrical bits in it :-)
When I picked it up I got a box full of 8" floppies and a heap of CPM
manuals - I think they were badged NEC so I'm not sure if there is any
correlation between the two.
I'll do a hunt for some docs when I'm ready to go but in the mean time
if anyone has any pointers to such stuff I'd be most grateful.

Did anyone find out if that really was an Apple 1 on
ebay?

Hi,
I'm looking for some Multibus-I prototyping/blank PCB for some development work I'm doing.
I've searched the net but found very little. Does anyone know if these boards are still made and
who sells them, assuming they're still available?

Hi
It looks like some kind of data compare. It shows + and -
and has an adder to create the result. I'd guess it was use
to balance something. It might have been two digital signals
>from two A/D's or something like that. It is obviously a "One-Of"
type unit. Most likely made for a production test or something
like that.
Even if one traced the circuit, one might never know its
original use.

Displaying two channels of something in a log-y looking scale.
I'll guess an audio meter. It looks like it's been scavenged
of its P1/P2 switch.

I found some DEC microfiche. A lot of them are marked "LP030A.LIS
LOGISTICS.PIC *CONFIDENTAL*". What are they?
--
Source listings. I don't recognize which ones, though.
I have found a stash of 4 or 5 Fujitsu Eagle drives, currently in service
and working. They are currently hooked up to a MicroVAX I believe. They will
be available free, but only to people who will use them - no taking them to
ebay.
I certainly don't want them all. Interested parties contact me off-list.

I picked up a panel that's marked for the KL8-A. I know the KL8-A is a
Multiple Serial Line Unit for the PDP-8 but I'm not sure exactly what I
have here. The panel is 19" wide and is a deep U shape. It has eight H 319
A units on it. Each H319 has a short (18"?) cable coming out of it that
terminates with a Mate-N-Lock connector. I also have two cable sets with
four small cables (~8' long) in each one that all connect into two 50 pin
Berg connectors. The other end of each cable has a 10 pin (4 used)
Mate-N-Lock connector that's connected to one of the connectors from one of
the H319 units. The other side of the H319s also has a Mate-N-Lock
connector but I don't have the cables that connect to them.
Q1: What exactly do I have here?
Q2: What are the H319 units for?
Q3: Anybody have the pinout for the outputs of the H319As?
I'm guessing that the Berg connectors connect with two M8365 MSLU cards
and that the H319As convert the current loop outputs to RS-232 to give 8
RS-232 outputs.

I'm looking for a Pertec tape controller that emulates TS11 or whatever.
Needs to be qbus and do 1600BPI. Also needs to be cheap. Looking for
something like a DQ132.
Thanks!
