Hi everyone, could use some help identifying some equipment if you are
up to it.
I know it is some sort of test equipment for the Titan IV Missile, just
not sure what it was used for, and cannot find any literature (maybe you
can help).
Below is a link to the photos of the Titan IV Missile Test equipment,
notice it comes with paper tape ribbon (I assume some code is on it).
Also notice the "Air Pressure Equalizer" knob, this lets air in/our of
the case (it is sealed with a gasket). Do you know why it would have an
"Air Pressure Equalizer" knob? I assume this means it is used in
different air pressures, would this therefore be used in space as
opposed to on the ground in your opinion?

You should ask on the arocket mailing list:

Ok, I have this CX-11 which is a half rack full of backplanes & flip-chips
and has also a half sized lights top panel. It's a Unibus controller to talk
to an IBM bus and tag device. There are 2 large 'In' connectors and also 2
'Out' connectors. I do have a manual which describes some generic IBM info,
but I would like to know what kind of device(s) could (if possible) directly
be connected to such a thing?
Thanks,
Ed

I'll second that plea. I have a full 9221 mainframe (2 IO cages and 5
DASD) but NO cables. Sigh. Haven't found any here in England so far. So if
there are stacks of them eating up space under your raised floor, or in
your garage, please consider me too!
Thanks,

Well, one of my old computers is the star in an upcoming short film called "Base Code." It's a 1980 Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III. I made a little documentary. You may not want to watch all 20 minutes, but definitely watch the last 2 minutes. Look for me in some places too! http://gallery.me.com/dgreelish/100077

I find myself in need of an oscilloscope to help me fix my PDP11 PSU (I am
being ably assisted by a member of the list, so don't worry). As this is for
occasional use only I can't justify spending a lot of money. From previous
postings on the list I think I need a minimum spec of dual trace and 20MHz
bandwidth.
Does anyone have any recommendations for what to buy? I suspect it would be
better to get a higher quality used one than a cheaper new one. Perhaps
someone in the UK on this list has one they want to sell?

The RetroComputing Society of Rhode Island is doing some
housecleaning, as we need to make room for a new machine (a Cray J). I
will probably offer up some goodies here and on Ebay over the next few
weeks. I might even throw some of the Joe Heck stuff in as well.
We have a couple of MDB Qbus chassis - no cards. Pretty basic 3rd
party DEC stuff. These are rack mount, and are roughly equivalent to a
PDP-11/23.
We would like to get anything over shipping for these. Additionally, I
could probably deliver to any of the NY area hamfests, or even at our
open houses in Providence, RI (generally 3rd Saturday of the month).
We will also have a massive triage of u-fixum VT100s soon. Those will
likely be pickup only.
All proceeds over shipping will go to RCS.
