Wikipedia says that SAM76 was rewritten in C and that the source code and documentation were available. Does anyone actually have it? Thanks, Eric

Industrial PDP8... Dazzler

by wh.sudbrink＠verizon.net

So, I imagine I'm not the only one who made an offer on the Dazzler pictured in the Industrial PDP8 lot on ebay. I notice that the picture of the Dazzler has been removed from the lot page, but I didn't get any reply from the seller. I thought I made a pretty good offer, oh well. Anybody on the list get it? Would you mind sharing what you paid? Bill S.

Prototype PCBs?

by brain＠jbrain.com

Anyone know an inexpensive source for prototype DIY circuit boards? From time to time, I like to use them to prove out ideas, and I'm running low on stock. Jim -- Jim Brain brain at jbrain.com www.jbrain.com

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

e-mail me. I'll check the list to see if you were _that_ person, not an impersonator. When I have the time. No disks, just the item and a couple of small manuals.

AT&T 3B2 software preservation

by amh＠POBOX.COM

Greetings, I'm in possession of a reasonably complete set of SVR3 media (and associated drivers, diagnostics, etc.) for the AT&T 3B2 on 5.25" QD floppies. Sadly, I no longer have any 3B2 hardware, but with luck one day I may change that. I had planned on imaging and preserving these disks for my own use, if nothing else. But it occurs to me that I don't know how rare they might be, and I might do harm by attempting to read them in an EBay'ed PC floppy drive (albeit with cleaned heads). Is this material sufficiently preserved that I don't need to worry about damaging my copies? I didn't see any 3B2 related bits on bitsavers and a cursory google search didn't turn up much. I have a few disks with duplicate contents, so I risked a test run with Unix dd and got a sane-looking complete image with no I/O errors, and no material shedding off the floppy that I could see. I still need to see if the bits are good at a higher level (I think they are formatted as "S5" filesystems, not sure). But I'd have no problem shipping the floppies to a respected member of the community who does this kind of thing all the time (e.g. bitsavers), if it would be worth their time. thanks, -Andy

Altos 586 physical diskettes or QIC Tape.

by spedraja＠ono.com

This is message that I send from time to time. I got one operative Altos 586. It has the Xenix Kernel damaged, and I don't have diskettes to start the system from them. If someone can do a physical copy of the set of disks available (I don't remember the exact place now) and send it to me, or even a tape to start the system (I'm not sure if this can de done), we can speak about a trade. Contact off list, please. Thanks Sergio
