I'm in a relatively small town (pop. 7,500) but the local public library
is leasing a Minolta business-class copier. It includes software
that runs on an adjacent PC that can read a stack of papers and convert
to TIFF, JPEG, Acrobat or OCR. I may be the only one (as the library's
computer consultant) to have figured out all the features; I don't
think they've even set rates for the non-copy-machine features.

Phillippe,
I would like a copy of the teacher's guide too. Thanks for your offer
to photocopy. You can email me off-list at wacarder at usit.net.
Thanks,
Ashley

Hi Hans
I know the fellow that just won the 1130. He is a neighbor
of mine ( about 2 miles away ). He is one of the few other
people that I know of that has a Nicolet NIC-80.
He said he'd rather have a 1620 but a 1130 will just have
to do. He has a hanger to put it in. I know he expects to
get it running. The project of getting it across the pond
is going to be interesting to follow. I'll try to get him to
take pictures and post them on his web page of his adventures.

I haven't heard that name in a *long* time. They were originally in
Goleta California and IIRC moved somewhere down south in the 70's. What
information are you after?

Hi,
Still trying to find homes for a few pieces. These are
all on .....Death Row..... and need to go soon.

This is a Vacuum column Mag tape tester with lots of
LED's and LED read outs. Also has a built in printer
for the results. Puts on quit a show when running.
Works
Quit heavy, local pickup only. Free

Hello Michael,
Thank you for the offer to reuse your design. I already had looked
at it. The chip count is low, and I do not need the CPLD, so there
are just a few parts left! However, I wanted to stick to my 1973,
because I was not sure about the copy-right stuff.
I will take a few days to think things through and then decide if
I keep the 1793 or move up to the 279x. The 279x sure saves some
soldering work!
Thanks,
- Henk.

A few months ago there was a discussion on the list
about the DECmate. I can't seem to locate it in the
archives. Am I doing something wrong, or are the
archives not up-to-date? The subject line was something
like "Stop me before I take the plunge."

Remember those model 30 parts I was trying to give away/swap. Here is a
picture of a model 30 installed in a system you have probably heard of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Alto
You could have knocked me over with a feather. Of course the article
describes this as the system "hard disk", and I guess it was. When I was
using them in the mid to late '70s we were using them like floppies and
running the mini on a 40-80 MB removable drive.

OK, here's a head-scratcher for all you DECies - does anyone have _any_ info
on the VT06 terminal? This was OEM'd for DEC by Datapoint and is based on
the Datapoint 3300. Pictures, docs, even hardware would be welcome.
Thanks!
