I tripped across this email link on a Google search. I was the author of the original PDP-8 * "Introduction to Programming", published in either late 1968 or early 1969. I hired onto Digital straight out of college as a tech writer joining a department of four writers for the whole company. Almost 40 years later I am still with HP.

Sun 3/60 for trade

by hardware＠ees1s0.engr.ccny.cuny.edu

Hello, I have a Sun 3/60 that I would like to trade. My interest is uncommon Tektronix stuff, pre-1980. The Sun machine comes with the monitor (color, big, heavy), the keyboard, the optical mouse, the optical mouse pad, and an external 1.4GB disk that has NetBSD on it. The machine seems to work fine. It POSTs with no warnings and I can log in and do stuff. I have even had it online, and used it as a webserver as some point in the 21st century. Local pickup only. I am in New York City and I don't have a car. thanks, -kurt

Stuff for trade

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

Here's a list of stuff I can get at right now that I'm offering for trade. Right now I'm hankering for a PDP-11/70 front panel. * Several luggables: Osborne Executive, Compaq 1, Kaypro 10, and perhaps others. Most need work in some way or another. * Lots of S100 cards; I can check for something specific. I know I have a couple video cards left. * Several S100 chassis, some supposedly ready to boot and go. Most of them are "California Computer Systems". There's a Northstar Horizon in there somewhere. * Several 8-inch floppy drives, some in single and dual chassis; others naked. * Lots of lightly-used 8-inch floppies. * A couple metric oodles of S100 docs. If you drive into town I'll stuff your car (or van) with them if you promise to go through them and digitise those that need it. * A Zenith composite monitor. * A tiny (5 inches) IBM composite monitor. * Pieces of an Intel MDS. * An AT&T 3b1 with keyboard and mouse that I like but not enought to really play with it. * A CRT-ish thing the size of a bar fridge that suggests a field-portable radar display. * A big hunk of aluminum with a wheel on it. No idea what it is. Maybe it'll make a nice clock. * Some 5.25" MO disks. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

Looking for a Zenith Z29 terminal, and some VT100 keyboards

by tiggerlasv＠aim.com

VT100 keyboards? I've seen some recently on e-bay, but they could be closed by now. I definitely saw a VT102 keyboard last night, so that is probably still there, although it's like $50. . . > Also, while I'm looking for stuff, anyone have a Qbus > Pertec tape drive controller that'll work in a Vax? > Thanks guys! > -Ian I believe VMS supports the TSV05, so any TSV05-compatible controller should work; Dilog DQ132, etc. Coincidentally, I'll be posting one or two Pertec controllers on e-bay tonight, although they are (operationally) untested. They do respond to "pokes" to the CSR / SA registers, and appear to pass self-tests, though. ;-) T

Tru64 AdvFS

by dholland＠woh.rr.com

Via the grapevine... http://advfs.sourceforge.net/ Doesn't mean a great deal to me, since I've never even seen a Tru64 box, but thought it might be of interest to someone.....
