>The Instructor 50 Desktop Computer User's Guide >Signetics, 1978, 300 pages? >Introduction to the Instructor 50 Desktop Computer >Signetics, 1978, 120 pages? I'm interested in these two, as I am the programmer of the world's only emulator (WinArcadia) of this trainer and it would be invaluable for improving the compatibility. Many thanks James Jacobs Canberra, Australia

RTE-A VC install screen

by glen.slick＠gmail.com

How did you get to this screen? http://www.flickr.com/photos/hp-fix/3300388502/ Was this a boot from a physical tape in a physical tape drive? A cartridge tape or 9-track? Do you have images of these boot tapes? I wonder what it would take to get something like the HPDrive emulator setup for HP-IB tape drives. I have an HP A900 but no boot/install tapes, and even if I had them I don't have any HP-IB tape drives.

TU58 Tape Images for 11/750

by iamvirtual＠gmail.com

I have imaged all of the TU58's that I have in my possession. See http://www.iamvirtual.ca/VAX11/VAX-11software.html for additional 11/750 software including stand-alone backup and console images. From what I recall, I read each of the tapes twice and binary compared the results. I used PUTR running on a *shudder* modern laptop connected to my external TU58 drives. The external box uses RS232, so it was rather easy. Make sure you check the rubber roller inside the TU58 before you use it. I had to replace all of my rollers with a slice of PVC hose in order to use the tape drives. Is there anyone interested in acquiring the various bits of media and knowledge in one area specific to the Vax-11/750? The result of the work would still go to bitsavers, this would be a special interest group ;-) My 11/750 has VMS 4.7 loaded, and I am looking for images that I can use reinstall VMS onto a new drive (I don't want to scribble over top of the drive I have for fear it may contain something important). I would also like to organize a SIG for the really early PDP-11's (PDP-11/20 and PDP-11/10).
