I have an elder setup I would like to plumb with cables, but do not have all I need. It is a tape library with 2 wide connectors, and an Adaptec 2944 in the host. I am thinking of a 3' or so wide cable (68 pin) with 3 connectors that are male, and each end with a female connector. I can terminate it at each end with the terminators I have, since the controller I have puts out termpwr. Any suggestions or sources or ideas. Anyone have such a beast to spare? thanks Jim

(he > has done a lot of work for Cisco) I think it's pretty safe to assume that this was a reference to Peter. He's the only one I know who really have a collection of PDP-10 machines (including a tri-SMP KI-10 running TOPS-10). Unfortunately, much of his stuff is in storage nowadays. But it's not that far from me... :-) Johnny

VIC-20 Mega-Cart

by wgungfu＠uwm.edu

Most of those games are still active (as in still used) properties by Midway, Namco, Taito, Konami, and Atari. They're opening themselves up to cease and desists and lawsuits by at least 5 different companies.

I'm not involved with the project in any way so the following isn't an advertisement so much as a public service announcement/ravings of a very excited VIC-20 user. There's an exciting new piece of VIC-20 hardware called the Mega-Cart. It includes 179 games that were originally released on cartridge (that's all of the known cartridges BTW) as well as 53 games that were released on tape or disk (some of which were released in the last year). It's not just fun and games though. It also includes 24 utilities/applications (programming languages, monitors, an assembler, text editor, terminal program and more) and if that isn't enough, it's also a flexible RAM expander (3K, 8K, 16K, 32K and 32K + 3K). To make it easy to configure and use, the Mega-Cart comes with a menu system (that includes music no less) and it's able to remember all your configuration settings too. How neat is that? I haven't been this excited since I actually got my VIC-20. :) If you want to know more about or are interested in purchasing the Mega-Cart (the price is $100 USD) then visit the website: <http://www.mega-cart.com/> -- Golan Klinger <gklinger at gmail.com> Dark is the suede that mows like a harvest.

Anyone ever play with an IOtech Serial488/4?

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

Hi, All, I have this IOtech Serial488/4 IEEE-488 quad serial box here, found the manual easily enough, but haven't yet set it up. Does anyone on the list have any experience with one of these? If so, I'd love to hear about any lessons learned or "gotchas". For those that haven't seen one, it's rack-mount box with a 68B09, some ROM and SRAM, a pair of Z8530s, and a TMS9914 GPIB chip. It gives you four buffered serial lines on your IEEE-488 bus. They are still sold new, for new prices, and used for about 10% of that. It looks rather straight-forward to talk to, but I thought I'd ask in case there is some "notorious" feature of them. Given that I'm heavily loaded with PETs and not with HP equipment, I'll probably go that route. Thanks for any tales, -ethan

Nice core stacks that have not been butchered

by wmaddox＠pacbell.net

There is a seller on eBay who has multiple units of an 18-plane core stack (Univac military surplus) that have not been chopped up for display. They are sealed in vapor-barrier bags. I bought one, and it appears to be a refurbed unit packaged for spares. Price is $295 "buy it now". Item # 180320226997 This is just one of them. Search for the other listings. --Bill
