Looking for command reference, documentation, boot disks, anything that will assist me. Also any spare parts from these systems. It is a UNISYS labeled Convergent Technologies built TACCS system. (US Army's Tactical Army Combat Service Support Computer Systems) It has the following modules: CPU 10186 8 Mhz Memory 1MB I/O Video FH Controller Modem MP/EX ?? Controller FM-DTR ?? Micropolis 80MB MFM Drive Model: 1325 (Looking for one of these as well) Teac 1.2MB FD-55GFR Cipher Model 525 Tape Drive ( DC600A ) Tapes I also have the remote terminal which has: CPU 10186 8Mhz Video Board 1MB Memory Board I/O Board It doesn't have FD or HD as it "clusters" to the one above and boots from that via cable (in a perfect world) Along with documentation I am looking for a Video Board (1 is flakey) and a 1MB Memory board (1 is dead) The main system boots the following: T **************** L FH01 V1.2 EA:2 B,D,L,M,P,T:_ I am guessing EA:2 is an error code and B,D,L,M,P,T would be options for something..... Any and all information greatly appreciated, I did take a bunch of pictures, just need to upload them to my web site.... Thanks John Kourafas john at kourafas dot com

Have a VAXstation II/GPX that is going to the curb next Wednesday morning unless someone else wants to come and take it away... First come, first served; respond via e-mail in case I don't get back here to check; I'm pretty busy these days as you might imagine. As-is. Has VCB02 8-plane color head & monitor. Loaded with VMS V5.4 with DECwindows and C compiler, maybe Fortran??? Licensing is left as an exercise for the reader. Three disk drives, don't remember the models/size, think they're about 700MB apiece. Has TK50 drive that doesn't work. Has third-party (Emulex?) dual-port SCSI card that appears not to work. No manuals (already went out in trash before I thought of offering machine here; sorry). Chris

Fujitsu M2442 9 track tape drive disposal.

by Billy.Pettit＠wdc.com

Richard wrote: Got one of these too. They were used on Suns mostly, I think. Sun even resold them under their brand for a while. Billy responds: Actually Sun sold off a large inventory that built up during a model transition. The tape units had the Sun colors, mods and logo already. Fujitsu also had an inventory to sell off when Sun buying went soft. For years, it seemed like everyone had 2442's to sell. Took about 3 years to burn off that inventory. Billy

HP 1611 Microprocessor Logic Analyzer

by Billy.Pettit＠wdc.com

Does anyone on the list have documentation for the 1611s? I have the 6502 and Z80 systems. I need schematics, especially for the power supply and monitor. Will pay for copying or will scan and return originals. Thanks for any help. Billy

NextStep 3.3 dmesg problem

by ingrammp＠earthlink.net

I have a minor NextStep 3.3 problem... on an otherwise perfectly working system, the command /usr/etc/ dmesg returns # dmesg Apr 4 19:32 Can't get kernel namelist which seems to imply to me, that I have some permission hosed someplace, but I haven't been able to figure it out. In / I have mach -> $BOOTFILE ( but I don't know what $BOOTFILE is supposed to be ! ) odmach is permission 444 sdmach is permission 444 ( and same size as odmach... 836616 bytes ) I tried changing permissions on /dev/kmem... no effect.... right now it's crw-r----- Any Next folks have any ideas ?? Does dmesg work on your machine ?? thanks Mike

SOLVED: RL02 faults when RX02 is on

by feldman.r＠comcast.net

I had a similar problem when I put together my first PC-XT clone. It had an open-frame Panasonic 9" monitor on top of the main box, which was made of 1/4" plywood (cherry stained). Putting a sheet of aluminum under the plywood top solved the problem.

AS/400 available for free [UK only] (was: Re: OS/400 V3R2 License Keys for hobbyist use)

by classiccmp＠memory-alpha.org.uk

> AS/400's are regularly available here in the Bay Area >(California). Prices for smaller systems range from $100 >to $250.... >....I've seen many with disk drives (very important for >AS/400's as they use a AS/400 specific drives).... If anyone within striking distance of Birmingham (UK) wants an AS/400 with those all important hard drives, I've got one which you can have for the cost of coming over and taking it away (strictly pick-up only, it's far too heavy to post). I believe it's a model 9404, with an expansion cabinet - each cabinet is similar in size to a DEC BA123 cabinet, IE not that big.... And that's all I know about it, I've never even plugged it in! Contact me off list if interested. Thanks. TTFN - Pete.
