A pair of Mitsubishi M2896-63-02U 8 inch floppies...
Bare drives no chassis or power supply.
They look like pretty bog standard half height 8 inch
drives to me.
Sold for $257 US.
Hi all,
I'm going to go to a hamfest this weekend to look for an oscilloscope.
Do you guys have any pointers on what to look for, and how to know if
what I'm looking at has problems?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I suppose it's plausible, but I can no longer remember what I had for
lunch yesterday, never mind last week. The first copy of the stuff I
found seems to be stuff you had already hacked on:

I need to get someone's help to move an old computer in the Jacksonville
area from where it currently resides (in a house on the ground floor right
by a conveniently located door) to a local public storage area.
I would need someone to make the move for me as well as scout out a local
public storage business where I will store the computer until I'm able to
ship it. Or I might just go ahead and ship it now, in which case I would
need someone who is good at palletizing precious old computers for long
hauls across the country.
If you think you might be able to assist me with this there will be
rewards (monetary or trade).
Please reply directly to me as I won't get any replies to the list.

For VCF-MidWest 2.0, where's everybody staying, or is it
"catch-as-catch-can?" I've not yet registered (which I must do soon) and
I'd like to put up a display table...
I'll also have the wife & kiddies along - we're making this into a "family
weekend" kinda thingy, as we're leaving Thursday afternoon(ish). I'm
guessing it's about an 8 or 9 hour drive, so we're still planning out if
we're driving the whole way in one go or stopping for the night halfway
down or so.[1]
So, what's available for non-geeks to do down at Purdue?
I'd like to get the reservations pretty soon; as earlier usually ==
cheaper. ;-)
BTW - I have a rather nice digital camera (Nikon D70) - so if anyone wants
some nice pictures of their booth, track me down, just in case I don't get
a chance to wander around & shoot everything anyway.
Thanks!

I'm making some spare parts for a piece of computer equipment, and I
know a few others do similar things, so I thought I'd risk asking here.
I need some spare TCMT090204 carbide tips (small triangular ones) for
lathe tools, and I've seen some labelled TCMT 731. I think this is one
manufacturer's part number for that size. Does anyone know if that's
the case, and what the proper ANSI designation would be?

I have a rather junky...very junky...keyboard for the Intel MDS 220
microprocessor system. No plastic, some keycaps missing, dirty. It might
be good for spares (like the keyboad encoder). Anyway need it?
Cheeeeep bribes go a long way, but I at least ask for shipping.

I've posted about this machine a couple times before- it's a Sun 3004 + Carerra memory along with a bunch of ComputerVision parts. It looks like it runs SunOS 3.x at this point.
I have documentation.
Anyway -
This beast is biggish and the 3004 has some sort of fault, the nature of which is beyond my current skills to locate. I did pop in a 3/110 mainboard, and it semi-booted (started complaining about
unhandled interrupts- looks like it has a trimmed kernel). Looks like the drive (a Control Data) is having issues (errors on a couple of directories when I mounted it from a 4.1.4 IPX).
Disclaimers aside- or the Reason for This Message: I don't think that I can keep this machine, and I think that there are others on the list who would be more interested in it.
It has, in addition to the CPU and RAM (12 MB), the CV framebuffer, CV GPU (2 board set), tablet interface, and SCSI+serial card (SMPL board in CV lingo).
Built-in tape drive (complete with gummy roller) and the CDC 1?0 MB SCSI drive in a deskside chassis (not Sun 3/160). Docs and tapes included, all smoked caps have been replaced.
I will be scanning the docs and taking more pictures before getting rid of it.
Preference given to location (about 150-200 pounds of computer here), interest, and bribes (I'm looking for a decent smallish VMS box that takes modern SCSI drives, and a MC88k box,
but will consider other offers).

Billy:
I'd like to see your data on this, if it is more than personal observation
of a recent purchase. I work in an organization that does millions of PCBs
a month, all RoHS compliant. And our experience and statistics don't match
your statement.

Has anyone a copy of the ITT 3280 System service manual? I'm mostly
interested in the terminals sections, i.e. ITT 3285/3287.
The terminals may also be known as Courier C275 and C270.
