Service bureaus (Was: Tek 4051 firmware listing

They knew me and I knew them. And I never had an issue with keypunch after that. --Chuck +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As a matter of fact my very first job was also in a service bureau and that's where I also learned the importance of being able to charm the ladies, a skill that's served me well (and gotten me into considerable trouble) in subsequent years... mike

I'd like it of course (alas I'm in the UK) but I wouldn't go overboard. I've never seen the dectape head protectors (?) before. Bob

proud (soon to be) owner of a VAXstation 3100

by spectre＠floodgap.com

Picked up a VAXstation 3100 M76 from Nekochan. Looks like a nice box, but keyboards and mice on ePay are at ghastly rates. If anyone has a spare of either or both they'd like to sell, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll wire its MMJ port to one of the beige Macs' serial ports. It also has the SPX graphics board. How easy are those to convert to VGA? It has a 3W3 connector, I think (it hasn't arrived yet). -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- It is not enough to succeed.

guess the card - Sysgen 4540

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

I didnt count, but probably. Thats a heck of a lot of silicon for a tape drive, but what do I know. The Tandy 2000 Bernoulli controller has about a dozen common ttl. Anyone got a Bernoulli drive they dont need? ------------------------------ On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 8:49 PM PDT Chuck Guzis wrote: > > >On 20 Sep 2012 at 16:29, Chris Tofu wrote: > >> one 40 pin chip's id is obliterated, the other is an SCN8035A (a uP). >> Toshiba TMM2016-AP10, 2 roms.

Vintage mechanical design software collectors?

by auringer＠tds.net

Hi All, Does anyone collect / maintain old versions of programs like I-DEAS or ANSYS? I have a stack of literature about these, and other, design systems. My inclination is to recycle. Anyone care? -Jon

Anyone near Canby, MN?

by brain＠jbrain.com

An item of interest there, but it's currently too far to pick up for me. Was hoping to find a kind soul who store it for a spell until I could make a trip. Jim -- Jim Brain brain at jbrain.com www.jbrain.com

Slashing the letter O (Was: Re: Service bureaus (Was: Tek

by jcw1231＠pacbell.net

In my ham radio contacts from the early?'60s till rather recently, I often saw the slash?used to designate a zero; I noticed the same thing in engineering school in the late '60s and early '70s.? And, I have a Teletype Corporation teleprinter that has the slashed zero type pallet (ah, fond memories of loud noises and the smell of oil), although TTY Corp did make a non-slashed zero type pallet for the same type basket.? It was my understanding that, at least in this country, it was the zero that was slashed rather than the letter O.? Ah yes, more possibilities for confusion.
