Hi Everybody,
I've been corresponding with a guy in Burnie Australia who
rescued a Cromemco Series-3 machine from going to the dump,
and would like to find a home for it ... I don't have any
other detail... if someone in that area is interested,
please me email me and I'll forward his contact info.
Regards,
Dave

This weekend, we in MARCH are rescuing a Univac 1219 (early/mid-1960s
military version of Univac 418). We're also getting a second parts
machine and several teletypes (unknown model) and some spare parts.
It's all coming from the Johns Hopkins University Applies Physics
Laboratory. We hope to find out what these machines were actually used
for .... if that's not secret.
We're going to put the full 1219 directly into exhibit, and gradually
clean it, etc. .... the parts machine and other stuff will go into storage.
There isn't any storage or I/O console with this donation. Whatever
.... we're getting some big iron that says "Univac" on it, so I'm happy.
It will be displayed right next to our Straight-8.
Permission granted to be jealous. ;)

I'm not pointing this out to beat on poor Josh! I'm not! I just think it's
an interesting angle that support for legacy 16-bit MS-DOS and Win3.1 apps has
apparently lead to the unearthing of a 17-year-old Windows NT security flaw.
The really amusing thing would be if something similar existed in Classic
on OS X, or Rosetta.

I have recently acquired a Panasonic JD-850M, but don't have any info
or boot disks. Does anyone know where I may be able to find CP/M boot
disk images and/or documentation?
Apparently these machines ran CP/M 1.4 and 2.2.. The machine I've got
has dual 8 inch floppy drives.
Regards,
Chris Pye...

Maybe for you, but not for me ;-)

No! A thyristor is a semiconductor version of a thyratron. A triac is
something different and has *never* been called a thyristor even though it
may be seen as two anti-parallel thyristors (which is not correct).

Has anyone imaged the VAX RDM Microdiagnostic tape (tape #1) for the 11/750 ? I'm approaching a point on my 11/750 bringup where it would be useful to run some of the RDM diagnostics. In the absence of the real thing an image for use with a TU58 emulator would be great to have.
Thanks,

I need to repair both of the terminals. :-(
I am hoping to find a technical reference and in particular, a
schematic. I have not found any information about these terminals
yet. The first step is to identify the particular model. The
model/serial number is given as an Infoton 1200, but I have not seen
any references to this particular model.
I am a software guy by trade, but am minimally knowledgeable about
hardware. I have access to an oscilloscope as well as a logic
analyzer (unknown if either work!).
Thanks.

I have 3 new in box, and 3 new sans-box Sun Ray 100s free for pickup in
downtown Lafayette, IN. I've got some keyboards and mice for them as
well. I don't want to ship them unless you want to give me much more
than they're worth. :)
I'd rather give them away then trash them, but if they're not claimed by
Jan 25, they'll get thrown out.

I am looking for manuals on Infoton terminals. I believe these
terminals are from the early 1970's. I searched using Google, but I
have not found any documents relating to these machines. Via Google,
it appears Infoton changed name to General Terminal.
Here is the information I have about the terminals:
Infoton
Model: 1200/3 09200-G01-0M
Serial: 26795
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
