Offering Digital paper tape punch and reader - PC04

by hachti＠hachti.de

Hi, see the following pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/iraeus/DECPC04 There you see a modestly rare and completely working DEC PC04 paper tape reader and punch. The unit is complete with cables. Needs 110V power supply. The frame that goes into the rack *might* be there ass well. I checked and used the machine for a while. Did not find any problems. Could be cleaner - that job is left for the next owner. It's not my unit. But I can let it go for reasonable money. Shipping anywhere. If you're interested, email me your offer. If I don't get reasonable offers the machine will end up on eBay. Kind regards, Philipp -- http://www.hachti.de

Collection transport costs (was Re: Would You Pay $200,000 for an Original Apple Computer?)

Most > of the heavy items I have are local pickups... Nearly all of my heavy DEC stuff came from The Ohio State University or businesses around Columbus. I did drive to Dayton once for an 11/750, but I've gotten no item larger than an RL01 or PDP-8/a or VT-52 from out of state. There was the time I ordered an LA-180, but I used a "free shipping on your next order" from Newman Computer Exchange to order that - it came strapped down to a pallet via van freight from MI, right to my front door. I did use it for consulting work later (on a locally-sourced 11/23), but at the time, I picked the heaviest thing for my PDP-8/a that I thought I'd be likely to want. So I've spent a few hundred on renting lift-gate trucks and such over the past thirty years, but even a double-H960 PDP-11/34 setup w/drives and software and docs fit in the back of my 1976 Microbus with room up front for a passenger/loadie. I'm sure someone who collects IBM iron has an entirely different story to tell. -ethan

Paper tape fan-folder Was: Re: Punched cards - which paper/cardboard?

I have a case of rolled paper tape. Any chance you could share a picture or two? The other thought I had was to shear fan-fold printer paper into narrow strips, but the paper shear I have access to is not sufficiently precise to get a consistent tape width. -chuck

need teco suggestions

One thing that I occasionally do is having a list of files in a buffer, I want to add some cruft before and after each file name, to create something useful to run as a command file. Something like this then (without testing, off the top of my head): <xaiPIP $l-2ci/re=LB:[KAKA]$ga-2dl.-z;> I can probably come up with more complex versions of that as needed, as well... :-) Johnny

Old cromemco C3 in a rack...

by bdamer＠digitalspace.com

If anyone is interested in this, feel free to contact Sharon directly.... HI Bruce, Thanks for the quick reply. I'm attaching a couple of photos. One of the pictures shows the Hazeltine monitor (also available) that was used with the computer. I believe the unit is an Ohio Scientific C3. Here is a link to an eBay item for an Ohio Scientific ad for a similar machine. Ours came with a hard disk, but we no longer have it. http://cgi.ebay.com/1979-Ohio-Scientific-C3-C-Computer-29MB-Hardrive-Ad-/19… What you see in the pics is all we have for the machine. I'd like your opinion and the opionion of any of your contacts whether I should continue to try to find this a home, or just pitch it. I don't want any money for it, but don't really want to pay shipping, either. Also, FYI, I have some sales literature from the period for OSI (including some of the Bill Cosby brochures) and a few others, if anyone is interested. Thanks again, Sharon Maule (309) 231-9237
