Hi! Is anyone interested in making a sheet metal chassis for the home brew
S-100 backplane project?
Obviously, you'd need sheet metal design and fabrication skills, facilities,
etc. If anyone is interested please contact me.
Thanks and have a nice day!

I am looking for info on "Panasonic PD LM-R650J" optical media, and on what
kind of drives can read it. I gather it is a 650MB Cartridge of some sort.

There are indeed MCA collectors on this list.

Also lots of them on Vintage-Computers:

Got some manuals recently:
- Technical User Manual for Beehive DM5 Family of Video Display Terminals
Looks interesting, although I've never seen one in person. An
interesting feature is that it provides an escape sequence to download
8085 binary code directly into the terminal (as ASCII hex digit
sequences). I'm wondering what it would take to load a space invaders
game into it :-).
Has anyone ever seen a Beehive DM5 display terminal?
- Service Manual for Teletype Model 43 teleprinter
Parts list, schematics, troubleshooting procedures, mechanical
assembly drawings, etc. Basically, this is everything you ever needed
for the Model 43 Teletype. If someone needs this scanned in order to
diagnose a problem, let me know.

Yes, everything from that list is still available.
Hi all,
I have a non-working Cyper 100 tape drive which I am
going to dump. Before doing that, I offer any part of
the drive for the cost of shipping (from The Netherlands).
You can see the drive in the picture in the second row,
at the right-hand side. It's the tape drive on the left
above the PDP-11/55. (On the right side is the TU45):
www.pdp-11.nl/pdp11-55/pdp11-55startpage.html
Shipping the complete drive is too expensive, but if
you need the transformer or the (big) logic board, or
whatever, I am willing to disassemble it for you.
I hate to throw it away but I need the space for DEC
stuff, so on request I will even take a few pictures,
if requested.
If I have not had a reply within a week,
the complete drive will be "old iron".

In emptying the warehouse of Zebra Systems, we uncovered the original
Betamax tapes of these two shows.
I posted them on YouTube for your enjoyment.
We also uncovered a load of books, tapes, and some TS-1000/1500/ZX-81
Hardware.
We even found about 5 TS-1500 Computers that we'll be offering on eBay.
But for now, enjoy these:

Hi,
An article (and video) featuring Paul Qureshi about his hacking of a Dreamcast Arcade controller, an old Atari Joystick, and an old Pacman arcade motherboard.

Maybe I did not make myself clear enough. When I wrote
100 Gigabytes, I meant 10**11 bytes, because as I see the archive with
rsync there are 100461300404 bytes in it. Certainly when I made the other
calculations I used 10**11 bytes.
I did not mean 10**8 * 2**10 bytes.
I did not mean 10**5 * 2**20 bytes.
I did not mean 10**2 * 2**30 bytes.
I suspect your 96 GB is 96 * 10**3 * 2**20 bytes, i.e. what you call
a GB is actually what a SI-sensitive person would call a KiloMebibyte.
Tim.
