I briefly had an early version.

There are a few ads in Byte in the 80's for these.

I have a ton of IEEE Computer and IEEE Software journals at home. I don't
really have the space to keep them. Does anyone want them? They are located
in Manchester, UK.

Afternoon all,
I need an SDI disk to test my MVII...largely to see why my KDA50 always
shows up as "offline" to VMS despite correct CSR and why I can NOT boot
VMS over the network...I always get a machine check or a DBL ERROR.
Small enough to hold 4.3BSD-Quasijarus should suffice for testing
purposes. If you're not willing to part with one for <$75 (price of an
RA72 on ebay) I can return it or work out a trade.
Thanks! I want to get all the tests on this KA630 done.

I have 1985 Wang Office Assistant and I'm looking to see if anyone would be
interested in the working unit and accessories. The unit works great and
the printer still prints.
I have:
-Main Unit
-Monitor
-Keyboard
-Daisy Wheel Printer w/ an extra Ink Ribbon
-Manuals
-Software
-Paper Trays
I'm based out of Phoenix, Arizona and would be willing to ship to the US
only. Though it may be expensive to ship considering the printer alone is a
good 20-30 lbs. I can provide images of everything if there is any interest.
Thanks,
Neal
Ladies and Gents,
Exhibit registration for the Vintage Computer Festival East "9.1" is now
open: http://www.vintage.org/2014/east/exhibit.php.
The show is April 4-5-6 at the InfoAge Science Center, in Wall, New
Jersey. However the exhibits are open only on April 5-6. (Friday is
technical classes.)
This will be the largest VCF East ever, so register your exhibits early!!
I still have six (6) of the S-100 bus extender boards left if you are
looking for them.

rd.htm
The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement. Shipping in the US
is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping
internationally is $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB.
This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or
insurance. The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual
arrangement.
Please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM with the subject "S-100 bus
extender" and I will send your board(s).
Thanks and have a nice day!
Andrew Lynch
PS, I am also accepting pre-orders for the S-100 buffered prototyping boards
and will be making a manufacturing order soon. All the details are the same
as the S-100 bus extender except send a message with "S-100 buffered
prototyping board" as the subject.
Hi,
I have started restoration of a PDP-8a model 8A420-CN. I doesn't have any
schematics for this machine and I have searched internet for sources
without any luck. The sets on
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/dec/pdp8/pdp8a does not include my
version.
My machine came with 16K*12bits core memory, 20 slot backplane and only
the "Limited function board" frontpanel (don't now if this machine ever
had the "Programmer's console").
This is how my "Power distribution board" looks like:
http://www.abc80.net/docs/pdp8/pdp8a/DSC_2118.JPG
Some questions:
1. Is there anybody that could help me with schematics on this machine?
Scans are preferred, but I can pay for paper prints. I'm especially
looking for a diagram that matches the "power distribution board" that I
got.
2. If I plug in the machine with only the regulator boards (2xG8018) and
the limited function board in it, should the lights and fans come to life?
3. I suspect that my model shouldn't have "Power distribution board
control", G8019 since my "Power distribution board" misses the connector
for this board. Can that be correct?
Any help is appreciated. PPD-8a is new to me, but I have some knowledge in
the PDP-8 architecture since I restored a PDP-8/L that was in really bad
shape.
