I'm nowhere in the area, but would it be possible for me to put down my interest in the following? * A spare BA-23 or BA-123 enclosure * Any micro-form factor VAX, if one should turn up

Ton of PDP-11 Stuff in West LA

by bdamer＠digitalspace.com

CC folks, I just received this note from a Rufus Crosby whose recently passed brother in law has a ton of PDP-11 stuff in the West LA area, I am passing this on to you, feel free to contact Rufus at: RufusRufus at aol.com From: RufusRufus at aol.com Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 03:01:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: DigiBarn Computer Museum: Comment submission form. To: bdamer at digitalspace.com panded to false Hi Bruce, My brother in law's estate has a lot of PTP11 stuff, hardware stuff, manuals and literature. That stuff began to become obsolete and he could get it for almost nothing at the swap meets and he would come back with car loads of it. I am not a computer guy, I know nothing, I mean zero, about the products of the Digital Equipment Corporation but I would hate to see stuff going to landfill that somebody would really want or treasure. It would require somebody to inspect all the stuff to find if there was anything of interest in it. None of us have any idea of what he had or where it is. It is a real pig in the poke. Still, if somebody has real interest, have them get in contact with me and maybe we can come up with some plan. I am sorry, but I just don't have an inventory of what he has. Nor has anybody else.

AT&T 3B2/500 needs a new home

by corey＠electricware.com

I have an AT&T 3B2/500 that needs a new home. I've had it since it was pulled from service about 13 years ago. It's in great cosmetic shape and would make a great addition to the right person's collection. I don't know how much memory it has or the size of the hard drive, and I haven't personally fired it up. If interested, please drop me a note, otherwise it's going to get recycled. I live in the Portland, Oregon area and would prefer to have someone pick it up and I'm not really interested in shipping it. Thanks, Corey.

Apple IIc?

by dbetz＠xlisper.com

I've just ordered the new Apple II book and I'd like to find a machine I can use with it. I know I can just use an emulator but it would be more fun to have actual hardware. Does anyone have an Apple IIc in good condition that they're interested in selling?

Paging NE-Z80 owners! Paging NE-Z80 owners!

by rrr_lopes＠yahoo.com.br

Hi Alexandre! I did not had a NE-Z80 but an early model TK-82C. It had a SLOW function at the keyboard but it lacks the circuitry to proper respond to it.I can say it used a copy of the ZX-81 EPROM. When later I built a SLOW pig board circuit it worked as expected on original ZX-81. The TK-82C and NE-Z80 circuit was identical to ZX-80. And behave like the ZX-80 if you adapt it's EPROM to those. What Microdigital (TK-82) and Prologica (NE-Z80) did on those time was use standard parts. Copying the ZX-80 circuit to avoid the custom chip used in ZX-81. So , Yes, you can use the ZX-81 ROM image in a NE-Z80 as it had the same and exactly content. The ZX clones started to differ from the original when they started producing TK-85, CP-200 and others.

Anyone on this list has the "Nova Eletronica NE-Z80" computer from Brazil? ? ? I'm finishing restoring a pair, but none of them has the original EPROM with the firmware. I've never seen one of these in person before (it is a RARE computer in Brazil) and although it is a "mostly perfect" clone of the ZX-80, the keyboard is a bit different - it is exactely the keyboard of the ZX-81 but without the "slow" function. Is it the ZX-81 ROM, or a modified one? ? ? Thanks ? ? Alexandre Souza

IRIX remote display

by joerg.sigle＠jsigle.com

Hi Scott, I have often used IRIX 6.5 clients on Linux/nvidia X11 servers (and probably the other way round). One special thing is accelerated 3D with OpenGL vs. IrisGL: Newer SGI applications (=clients) use OpenGL, these have worked without a problem. But older SGI applications use IrisGL, the predecessor of OpenGL. When I tried it last a few years ago, these would only say: "server does not support IrisGL" or the like. There's another issue related to nfs networking between Irix and Linux (needs -o proto=tcp or proto=udp or similar, I always forget it and have to look it up...). Without the option, only minimal transfers will work, whereas even a longer directory listing or - certainly - a file transfer beyond a few KB would cause the connection to stall. But I have no indication that anything similar would apply to X11 as well.
