Just forwarding this to the list in case there might be some interest here. These are old 1950s-era fax machines, not 1990s. Apparently they are similar to the ones I present here (which is why he contacted me): http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/e/deskfax/index.html They are located in Northern Ireland.

Archiving ST-506 drives

by legalize＠xmission.com

What's the best way to do this? I believe I have vintage PCs with ISA slots and ST-506 hard drive controllers, so that may be an option. However, the drives I want to archive are not from a PC system, but have the ST-506 electrical interface. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 version available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

SCSI hard drives of large form factors

by michael.99.thompson＠gmail.com

>Here's something I was thinking about the other day. I *know* for a fact that SCSI interface hard drives existed with 8" platters. I've never seen one, however. Does anyone know of any specific model numbers, or have any product information or pictures of such devices? I just looked in my collection of 8" drives. I have two 8" Imprimis/CDC 97201-12G PA8P1A ST81236N Sabre drives with the original style SCSI connectors on the back. There are manuals for the drive on Bitsavers at: http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/cdc/discs/sabre/83325700N_PA8xx_736-1230mb_Par…, and http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/cdc/discs/sabre/83325720F_PA8xx_736-1230mb_Mai…. The manuals say that the drives are 1.2G, 512 byte/sector drives with an HP SCSI differential interface. I can post pictures if you are interested. -- Michael Thompson

Christmas cleanup!

by bdwheele＠indiana.edu

Hey everyone! I need to raise some money for gifts this year so I'm cleaning out some of the systems I don't play with any more.

That means the south side of Indy, Terre Haute, etc. * If it seems too high, make me an offer. Of course, if it seems to low you can offer too :) * Sun Ultra 5 ($40, will ship) 333 MHz UltraSPARC IIi, 256M RAM, CDROM, Floppy, Needs ATA HD * IBM RS/6000 43p 7248 ($20, will ship) 133 MHz PPC 604, 96M RAM, 2.2G SCSI Disk, CDROM * DEC VT-420 ($25) Amber, Keyboard, 2 MMJ Ports * DEC VT-220 ($25) Green, Keyboard, DB25 Port * DECserver 200/MC ($25, will ship) 8 db25 ports * AUI 10BaseT Tranceivers ($1 each, will ship) 10 available, 12" cable * 21" NeXT MegaPixel Color ($25) Model N4005A, 13w3 connector * Kaypro 4/84 ($150) a: 5.25", b: 3.5", original disks for: cp/m 2.2g, basic-80, microplan, c-basic, datastar, reportstar, calcstar, wordstar, mailmerge, s-basic, suprterm,dbase ii; looks like a pretty full set of manuals. I have the 2nd 5.25" drive if you want it as well. Broken right hand keyboard latch. * Amiga 1000 System ($350) In original box with manuals. 256K expansion, 1M side expansion, kickstart/workbench 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 (originals and copies, some disks fail due to age, but I could boot 1.1 and 1.3).

Storing cables

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

I suspect many of use have this sort of problem, and I'd be interested in hearing any solutions to it. Moat classic computers have various little bits that go with them, in particular cables and connector adaptors. In some cases these are specific to one particular type of machine (e.g. the user prot adaptor for the Acor Cabridge Workstation), others are rather more generic (the same cassette lead fits all TRS-80 M1, M3, M4 and M100 machins, along with the IBM 5150), and still others are totally generic (HPIB cables, 'kettle leads', etc). I find storing thes parts, partircularly the 'somewhat generic' ones is a problem, and I can never find what I need. You cna't categorise them by machine (becase, for example, a TRS-80 M1 RS232 cable is specific to that machine (it plugs into an esdge conenctor on the EI), the pritner cable also fits the M3 and M4 machines, the cassette lead also fits the IBM PC), you vcan;'t realy do it by function (a DBd25-DB25 lead could be used for several purposes, not only RS232), and so on. Any ideas? I am getting fed up with having to re-make a cable which I know I made a couple years earlier, but for a different machine, and which I now can't find. -tony

Archiving Xebec S1410 / S1410A controlled ST-506 drives

by glen.slick＠gmail.com

As a follow up to Richard's question, does anyone have any experience archiving an Xebec S1410 / S1410A SASI controlled drive from a relatively modern system? If the SASI controller doesn't support the standard SCSI Inquiry and Read Capacity commands I wouldn't expect that you could simply connect it to a SCSI host controller on a Linux box and "dd" the drive contents to a disk image file. -Glen

KSR 28 on Ebay

by jws＠jwsss.com

A friend mentioned that he knew of someone who was selling off some items he had including a Teletype. I told him I'd pass it along to the list, as I thought there would be people interested here. I have no direct connection to this sale, just passing it on. He is local to me in Orange County, Ca. Jim 320803364119

Need: Intel "ISIS-II" development stuff for PC (DOS)

by hachti＠hachti.de

Hello everybody, I came across some MCS-48 SW project which I have to get into active maintenance again. I have assembly source and listings. And some DOS batch files wich run commands like C:\ISIS\ASM80\HEXOBJ. And there are strange .CSD files which seem to contain some kind of build rules similar to a makefile. In the listings there's mentioned an ISIS-II ASM48 assembler. And an ISIS-II linker as well. I *have* to get that stuff up and working again. What I assume: - ISIS-II is an Intel Intellec's OS. - The Tools from ISIS-II have been ported to MS-DOS but still call themselves "ISIS-II" in the listings they produce. Am I right? Does anybody have the software? Heeeelp, I'm lost! It would be very nice if one of this list could help me out. Any input welcome! Kind regards, Philipp
