Hey... Oh, wait, should've seen that coming. I neglected to mention
that I didn't actually buy it.
A co-worker here on the help desk had gotten a replacement, because
this one wasn't getting phone signal anymore. I started using it so I
could be familiar with it; for when users call in to get help with thiers.
I would think Ubuntu Linux counts as a (fairly) real computer. Yeah, I
know it's not a VAX or Cray... but it is kinda close. And free.
And thanks for the edumication compliment... :)

Looking for a Tally 420 tape puncher and a Tally 424 tape reader, we need these for a restoration project for a Telemetry console that was used in the Titan rocket program. The Tally units that were in the operators console are missing, and we really would like to replace them for proper display.
Here is a link to a photo of both units http://www.dvq.com/ads/tally_dm_11_60.jpg
Many thanks.

Hi,
I'm kinda out of my head... I bought a pile of Omnibus boards from
someone on eBay. Lots of boards for even more money.
I got some Dataram core memory modules for pdp8/a. One 8K and three 16K
modules. I expected them to be quad wide. I explicitly told the seller
that I'd be interested only if they're quad wide. He sent me a
photograph of a quad wide Dataram module. And what I got is hex wide.
I'm going crazy... I spent all my money on that deal. In the hope to get
enough core to fill my pdp8/e and /m. I'm really frustrated.
Does anybody have quad wide core memory for Omnibus and wants to trade
for pdp8/a memory?
Examples:
For one "single board" 16K module (not made by DEC) I'll give one 8K and
one 16K DataRAM module.
For two single board 8K modules (not made by dEC) I'll give one 16K
DataRAM module and one H219 8K module.
For three DEC 8K module sets, I'll give one 16K DataRAM module and 2 8K
H219 modules.
For four DEC 4K module sets, I'll give one 8K H219 and one 16K DataRAM
module.
If there are some larger amounts of 8K modules out there, I'd could
throw in a set of pdp8/e CPU boards.
Generally, I try to trade 3:2=8a:8e.
If someone has something to trade, PLEASE contact me. I'm quite
desperate because I spent all my money for the stuff.
Best wishes,
Philipp
P.S.: I could use a single DEC 4K core board as well...

Ok, I have this IBM console and I'm looking for the key and possibly
some replacement bulb's. The bulbs are some sort of little tubes
made of clear plastic, and they contain an even smaller glass bulb.
I might be able to open them up and replace them with white or yellow
led with a small series resitor, but it looks like it's not that easy to do.

Any other suggestions I could do with it?

I've decided to play with some of my older Sun hardware this weekend, it
seems :). I have a 4/110 (Sun's first desktop/side Sparc machine) and
two P4 video cards -- a CG4 (501-1248) and an MG3 (501-1247). I can't
get the 4/110 to see either of them. Running boot diagnostics shows it
probing for a card in the P4 slot but not finding anything.
I've hooked the CG4 up to a monitor and the monitor syncs with it and
displays a blank screen, so it's getting power and doing something, but
for some reason the machine won't see it.
Any ideas?
Thanks as always...
Josh
