I was able to purchase a brand new one from softhut.com in January. It was shipped over in a new batch then. Kelly

Such a deal, let the bidding begin ... :-)

by marvin＠rain.org

All this is late model stuff :) compared to when DEC started and that begs the question; when did DEC first begin publishing their Small Computer Handbook and other such handbooks?

Hi Cylinder reecords take a lot less technology to read than does a CD-R. I have a Amborola 30 to read mine. Dwight

Due to impending job change/move I need to slim down my collection there will be quite a few machines. Some of the bigger stuff I need to put on ebay as I really need the money. I will be putting a 4000/500 with 9 dssi drives and a 4000/700 with 12 dssi drives on ebay towards the end of the month. I have gone through some machines there will be more : Vaxstation 3100/30 12mb unknown drive Vaxstation 3100/76 2xRZ74 16mb Floppy Vaxstation 3100/30 2gb drive 8mb Floppy Vaxstation 3100/40 3x100mb drive 32mb ram missing front flap Microvax 3100 16mb 2xRz25 3.2gb Vaxstation 3100/76 floppy 16mb 500mb drive Vax storage expansion box no drives but possible with the cable if I can find it. These are all free to pick up from Soho London. Dan

FREE! Corvus Transporter stuff

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

While cleaning up I found a Tektronix box with four smaller boxs in it that contain Corvus Transporter cards. There are FIVE cards with manuals (no SW). Four of the cards are about half length cards and have the mounting bracket on them. The other is about 3/4 length and doesn't have a bracket. All are 8 bit cards and all are Corvus Transporter boards. They appear to be new and unused and in the original boxs. Anybody want them for the price of shipping (and maybe some beer money :-)? I didn't see any SW but it may be stuck inside of one of the manuals. They all have a three pin male plugs on the back edge of the card. It looks like these came from the Charlotte hamfest in '94, that's all I know about them. Joe

TENEX on emulator (simh?)

by aek＠bitsavers.org

> If we're talking about the same thing, TENEX ran on a modified PDP-10. > It was a precursor to TOPS-10 (at least I think it was). That's what Ivan & Bert Sutherland said (it was Bert, I think) in a Computer History Museum video on google I watched the other day. --- google for "Dan Murphy" and "TENEX" for the history. Zane will probably pop up about this at some point as well. TENEX was developed at BBN to develop a more modern operating system for the original PDP-10 (KA-10) processor. It required special hardware to support demand paging (the BBN Pager Box) TOPS-10 was the original PDP-10 operating system. DEC hired Murphy later to modify TENEX for the third generation (KL-10) processor. This became TOPS-20. A couple of other variants of TENEX were developed as well; the one used on the PARC-devoped MAXC and the Foonly (called FOONEX) Docs for the BBN pager are scanned under bbn on bitsavers.
