I just got a package from Hamvention with my spaces ... I'll be in 3127 and
3128. My plans are still to arrive on Thursday night and show up early on Friday
morning to set up and check out the other flea market sellers.
I'm currently in the process of seeing what other ARDF/transmitter hunting
people might be available for dinner, but no reason it can't include classic
computers! So if anyone is available, let me know. It should be a lot of fun!
Dear Sir,
On the internet we are looking for Philips LDB4401 cassettes " certified digital mini-cassettes"
We desperately need them for a dyeing-machine (Textile). Could you tell us whether you still have app.25 pieces for us?
Could you give us a price, including shipping to Germany, Schw?bisch Hall , way of payment, delivery time?
Kindest regards,
Mit freundlichen Gr??en
Best regards

Hello All,
There are currently listings for free/cheap items over at the Vintage
Computer Forums. The following thread contains the details of some
Heath/Zenith gear (H89, Z100, etc.) and an unidentified Altos system with 8"
drives available for pickup in the Bay Area.
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?t=2960
As usual there are also a number of postings for machines and items for sale
(or wanted) in addition to the usual variety of good Vintage Computer
discussions.
This has been a public service announcement.

The Apollos might be the "Hybrid" 400 series, they might even be the pizzabox 425.
Whilst not pure Apollos, they have the advantage of smaller size, DOMAIN/OS compatibility, and
built-in, supported SCSI for disks (just not big ones).
Whatever you do, don't throw out DOMAIN keyboards/mice please. RI isn't on my route home, otherwise I'd probably bite for something.
The HPPA systems probably have the possiblity of running NeXTSTEP/HPPA, definitely the BSDish HP-UX variant.
As you said, big, unless they are the tiny 9000/712s

That's been my experience too.

If anyone does have them, I would like to add them to my collection of
DEC(-related) ROM images. I have three images of Baydel EPROMs, all
for their F11-311 RXV11 emulation board.

And that made the S100 cards I have for my Cromemco System 3.

You can fit a very basic 6.5.x install in under 500MB, and a reasonable
install easily goes into less than 2GB. The reason you have so many
CDs is that you have the base OS and then extras like NFS and the
compiler libraries which each have their own CD, then you have various
updates and install tools, and separately the various new versions of
applications and utilities.

Sounds a bit like Sun disks, but they have normal SCA connectors. If
what these disk have is something that looks like a shorter version of
an SCA, on the actual drive itself, that is probably fibre channel.

O2s and the like want LVD. Indys use single-ended narrow drives, but
LVD drives *should* sense that they're in a single-ended system and
operate in SE mode -- that's part of the standard. A couple of mine
have LVD drives. Wide drives will also work providing you have the
correct adapter -- you probably need one that terminates the upper 8
bits -- though you can still only uses unit numbers 1-7 (0 is the
controller on SGIs).
