I misplaced this card and cannot figure out which machine it goes
with. There are no markings on the board beyond what is on the chips.
Any ideas what this might be? That's a DB25 in the lower left of the
full board pic.
There are 2 pictures int this imgur set.

A long time ago I used to repeatedly threaten to have the Vintage Computer
Super Sale of the Century.
That day has arrived.
The following units are up for offer. Assume all are in emminently
respectable condition unless specifically noted.
I am taking offers indefinitely and will select the best offer for each
based on no particular criteria, however, the higher offers will generally
be the ones I accept as I am parlaying my investment in vintage computers
into other pursuits. If you don't know what to offer let me know and I'll
give you what I think it's worth.

I really don't get the joke. Someone care to enlighten me?
Is the urge to not name E11 "V7.0-07" something to do with RSTS/E or
UNIX, or something else entirely?
Cheers,
Christian
Ersatz-11 V7.0 is done. This is the 20th anniversary release (development
began on 31-Oct-1993), and it's got a bunch of new goodies. The free demo
versions (for DOS, Linux, OS/2, Stand-alone, and Windows) can be downloaded
>from www.dbit.com.
There's a *lot* of new code. If that means there's going to have to
be a quick update it's going to be hard to resist calling it "V7.0-07".
There's no one huge new feature, but lots of little ones:
- CR11/CD11 punched card readers
- DMR11/DMC11 network ports (speaks real DDCMP to DECnet/RSX's software DDCMP)
- DN11 autodialer
- KG11A CRC boards
- DU11/DUV11 sync SLUs proof-of-concept (but Z85230 driver needs finishing)
- SCC: driver for Sealevel sync boards (see above -- at least async works)
- Ridiculously improved VT100 emulation. Smooth-scroll and blink on OS/2
and Windows. Also SET-UP mode. Try pressing SET-UP (default = Shift/Esc)
and then 0 on OS/2 or Windows for a good laugh, if you remember the real
thing. VT100 w/o AVO, VT101, and VT102 emulations are now included (the
autowrap behavior differs on all three -- thank you Will Kranz for the
VT102 for testing). This was motivated by finding that the VT100 emulation
was failing the VTTEST suite, but further investigation showed that a real
DEC VT100 "fails" too, in a fairly similar way (virtually identical now).
- ASSIGN ... /TTSYNC switch adds driver-level XON/XOFF flow control for
output to most serial device types (and is enabled temporarily during all
commands -- you really need it if smooth-scroll is turned on).
- Scrollback buffer in VT100 sessions -- finally
- HAYES: filter driver for data-leads-only modems with Hayes AT command set
(turns commands/responses into modem control/status leads, and connects to
the DN11 emulation) -- yes this would have been more useful in 1993
- OSPRINT: driver (emulates dumb line printer using OS-supplied printer
drivers in OS/2 and Windows). Optionally adds green-bar-paper underlay,
which seems silly until you see how nice it looks in CutePDF. OK it's silly.
- Unit number ranges in ASSIGN/DEASSIGN, MOUNT/DISMOUNT, and SHOW --
Tries to be clever about incrementing unit numbers for the PC device:
ASSIGN YZ0-3: COM1: (or /dev/ttyS0) gives you 4 DZ lines using 4 COM ports
MOUNT DU0-1: rsx0.dsk gives you two disks using rsx0.dsk and rsx1.dsk
*But* if there's nothing to increment then you get identical devices:
ASSIGN YV0-15: TELNET: gives you 16 DHU lines on the same Telnet server
MOUNT DC0-3: RAM: gives you a fully fleshed out RC11 (four RAM disks)
- Generic host-OS-independent names for several kinds of ports that can
be autodetected. SHOW ASYNCPORTS, SHOW PRINTERPORTS, SHOW SYNCPORTS,
SHOW DIGPORTS, SHOW GPIBPORTS gives you a list of what ASYNCn: etc.
will get you right now. This is supposed to make E11.INI files a little
more portable (so you don't have to change COM1: to /dev/ttyS0 etc.).
- Host-OS-independent NULL: devices for most device types.
- IEU11/IEQ11 dual GPIB port bare framework (proof of concept: works only
with NULL: device, does no actual I/O, but accepts many commands and LOGs
their behavior)
- RAMdisks now take their default size from the drive type (which may
itself be defaulted)
- "Short" disk images have the missing part emulated as a null area
(so it's OK if the bad-block track wasn't included in the image --
you don't get errors if you touch it anyway)
- DB:/DR: (Massbus moving-head disks) now enabled in Demo version;
also OA:/XA: (DR11C/DR11W), used as Ethernet IPL, internal mP IPL,
or simple LPT port interface
- Raw floppies (PC formats, for now) on Linux, OS/2, and Windows
- /CYL/HEAD/SECTORS switches work on all C/H/S disks
- Disk logs now calculate the starting block number on C/H/S disks;
LOG /PC includes PC in log files
- SET ddcu: READONLY / READWRITE can write-lock or write-enable most
disks and tapes w/o re-mounting them
- SET IDLE DELAY=n adds a n-millisecond delay during WAITs
- More use of helper threads (keeps long searches in .TAP files from
interfering with PDP-11 execution -- and incidentally means that more
of the PC devices are mP-safe even on the DOS and Stand-alone versions,
since in that case "helper threads" means migrating DOS calls to CPA where
it's safe -- not that mP is officially supported of course)
- LoadModule, GetSymbol, and UnloadModule DLL calls (OS/2 and Windows)
- Many, many, many bug fixes -- hopefully more than were introduced by
the new code
- The update disks will be CDs this time -- yes finally entering the 1990s

HP 16700 series are known to be very picky about keyboards. If you use a ps2 Hp or IBM-M keyboard it should work fine.

Onderwerp: Somewhat OT. 16702B Logic Analyzer Woes
Hi Folks,
It's only somewhat OT, because I really want to use this thing to fix a
floppy controller (Northstar hard sectored all discrete logic type
controller) in a classic computer :) Anyhow... I'm having issues with a
(new to me) Agilent 16702B Logic Analyzer mainframe and this seems like the
best place I can think of to ask.. It seems to work fine except the PS2
keyboard and mouse don't work quite right.
Well, actually, the mouse does work -- if I use a Logitech USB mouse with a
USB/PS2 adapter, it works fine. Any "real" PS2 mouse I own doesn't respond
at all -- though the LED in the mouse is on. A Microsoft USB mouse with the
USB/PS2 adapter doesn't work either. Seems strange.
The keyboard on the other hand doesn't seem to work at all. The three LEDs
(num lock, caps lock, scroll lock) blink during boot (like they're supposed
to) and there are no warnings or errors I can see reported during boot, but
the keyboard is totally dead. I've tried several keyboards, on one of them,
the lights don't blink either. Even on the ones that blink, pressing keys
during boot (to interrupt the boot process) has no effect.
All mice and keyboards work (of course) on a PC.
Any ideas on where to look? Or where to find good servicing information?
Thanks,
Pat

As you may know, Radio Shack sold the Sharp PC1211 under the name 'Pocket
Computer 1' (or PC1). They also sold pre-recorded tapes of programs for
it (AFAIK, these were not Sharp products).
Anyway, I've got the rpgorams from the 4 'Engineering Math' tapes and the
'Electrical Engineering 1' tape as plain ASCII files (BASIC progam
source). Does anyone know of a website which archives such things, if so,
I would be happy to provide them.
Anyone interested?
