I ran across mention of the Gould Quadrabyte processor in a ca. 1980 magazine product annoucement. Does anyone know what CPU was used in these? Thanks, Chuck

Hi Brian, I'm relaying a message from Dave Mcguire, he's in the middle of a big move >from home at the moment. He would be interested in te Tek Terminals.

I have numerous terminals for this system, Two Tek Graphics Terminals, a few VT type and an LA100. This system was used as a basis for developing micro controllers, to that end this system also comes with a secondary chassis, two LSI 11 Falcon boards, in the original packaging, a Mentec M90 (I think) PDP on a board, the original 11/23+ processor and several other modules. The software as I recall is RSX-11M-PLUS (V?), FORTRAN & BASIC Also comes with MicroPower Pascal for driving the external Microprocessors. The software comes complete with Licenses, about 10 to 15 RL02 disks, loads of tape and an Orange wall of Documentation. I also have a Qbus ESDI card and Drive, but have not installed those. > > I am Loathe to let these systems go. But I cannot keep them. I am offering them to the list first in the hope someone will keep them alive and continue to use them. I will be taking an inventory soon and will post that as I make my way through everything. Items are for local pick up only (Madison, WI). I am looking for Donations for this equipment, which, given how unusual some of them are, I think is warranted. > > If you are interested, please drop me a line at briandotcdotmichellatgmaildotcom Thanks for reading. > > Brian. > > > > ________________________________ > > The information contained in this email is confidential.

Looking for old Memorex gear

by tshoppa＠wmata.com

> 3) Mark I, V, VI, X or XI disk packs I'm not familiar with those model names but I suspect I might know them as a "Memorex brand 2315 cartridge" or "Memorex brand 3330 pack" or similar. Was Memorex the first maker of IBM-compatible packs? Where did Caelus come in the scheme? For a while in the mid-2000's there was a Memorex brand USB keychain drive, which I swear was styled to look exactly like a miniature little disk pack. Not a very efficient of pocket space but wow, did it look like an old disk pack :-). > 4) A Data Mark module Help refresh my memory... Data Mark was Memorex's version of the IBM 3348? Head and positioner inside the cartridge?
