Found it. Yes Tony was right. http://hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=218 Funny that HP came out with an 80286 PC compatible before their 8086 based PC. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

That sounds like a somewhat interesting PC clone -- I assume > the expansion bus is ISA > According to the HP9000 Series 300 Technical Data booklet (Feb 88, 5951-6785, from www.hpmuseum.net), at that time HP had two Vectra models in the Series 300 lineup: * PC-305, HP Vectra CS PC (8086) * PC-308, HP Vectra ES/12 PC (80286) Each contained the HP BASIC Language Processor board with a Motorola 68000 at 8MHz, 512 K RAM (expandable), BASIC 5.0 in ROM (or Pascal 3.2 on floppy), and HP-IB & DIO interfaces. The museum has more info on these and other Vectras. Regards, Peter

TUK50 print set

by dundas＠caltech.edu

Does anyone have the TUK50 (M7547) maintenance print set or a scan? Not the TK50 drive print set, the real Unibus interface for the TK50. I'd like to get a copy. Thanks, John

AT&T 730 MGT graphic terminals

by legalize＠xmission.com

Anyone know anything about these? Apparently they could be used as X terminals and they are essentially diskless workstations with a 68000 inside. There is some stuff in Richard Shuford's usenet post terminal archives, but not much else I've seen around. Any AT&T 3B2 owners out there have one of these in a working state? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

Yeah right on the first one. The Omnibooks look so cool though. Ping me.

Google is your friend... http://www.caig.com/ For potentiometers & whatnot, this stuff works wonders, too: http://store.caig.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.183/.f I bought an old 0-40V 0-1.5A variable bench power supply at a garage sale for $5.00 USD; it worked fine but the pots were *very scratchy* - couple shots of that stuff in each one and a couple full wipes, and the rascal's dead on again.

74S-series grab bag on ePay

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

http://shorterlink.org/1335 Seems somebody is always looking for them here. MC Howard is local to me, and I've mentioned them here before. If you look on their website they have a toll-free number - http://www.mchoward.com - and they have an amazing assortment of arcane/obsolete electronic parts. Don't pay any attention to the prices listed online. They may or may not be current. Doc

Believe me, I know all too well - time is probably the most valuable commodity we don't have enough of, closely followed by space... I have a PCB layout for an electronics project which I had prepared in January I think that I *still* haven't done anything with because I just haven't had any time. (Partly my own seasonal prioritising; Summer is for getting out there with camera in hand to see as much of the world as possible, Winter is for poring over dead bits of computer - at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself :-).) The offer of film was partly because it's so damn hard to get hold of professional film these days. It's a lot easier in London than out here in the provinces I think, but while it's certainly not yet unobtainium going shopping for a roll of, say, TMax 400 round here is an exercise in hope over expectation. My wife has had to come to terms with the house not only being full of computer 'junk', but the fridge also being full of rolls of film because I buy in bulk :-). Anyway, I fully understand; if you do ever find the time to take those shots, the offer is always open. >> Canon A1, an absolutely beautiful bit of kit IMHO, and I'm hoping a > > Rather too much electronics for my taste...

Thanks very much for the offer - I might just take you up on that! It's a Zorki 1b with the 'standard' Industar 50mm lens; not particularly rare, but as my first foray into rangefinders (and bottom-loaders for that matter) I didn't want something I'd be too scared to use!
