Houston Area help

by wdonzelli＠gmail.com

I may need some short term help with a museum pickup in Houston. It is a small item (well, sort of - 50 pounds? Certainly trunk of the car small), but would need pickup in 15 days or so. It is a piece of avionics gear. Expenses would be paid, of course, to fetch this and probably ship it (unless I swing by Houston soon). Any interest? -- Will

A working spare should go to a ready system. I hate waste and I was a moron for dropping it.

I was going nuts trying to clean tape residue off of plastic monitors with thinner, then my father started using the afta that I had an old soda bottle, and it came off quite painlessly. It was a thin colorless liquid, and. IIRC it subsequently was called goof off or.goo gone. I bought a small bottle of something also called goo gone at target for 1$. Haven't used it, but it's yellow in a clear plastic container.

Hyperterm for Altair 680b

by nick.allen＠comcast.net

anyone ever use a USB/Serial cable to connect to an Altair? I am trying to connect my 680b to my windows 7 computer via hyper-terminal to no avail. Any special settings I should be aware for terminal settings (currently using 9600, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, NONE for parity and flow control). Also, anyone know where I can get the ROM files for a 680b?

PANASONIC HHC RL-H1800 TV DISPLAY ADAPTOR

Thankx for the info. i did read that in the manual and since the ge software only uses text on the single line display, i am hoping it will echo it on the adaptor. unless the adaptor need's to be specifically called in the software to do the echo via the i/o channel,in which case i'll still have to fix the display or change it.

Manual for BASF6105 8inch Flp drive

by mcwood＠nefkom.net

Hi Chuck, Thank you for the hints. I have a NEC FD1165 which looks different to the BAS6105. Haven't opened the Basf 6105 yet. I'll try to make some pictures to show the differences. The NEC FD1165 is a nice drive. I took it from my Apollo DN300 drive shoebox. No belt mechanism running with 220V/110V. It worked quite some time perfectly. No read errors like my Shugart 851 in reading disks from 1985. But the suddenly the NEC stopped working caused by a rubber part which turned into glue. That glue locked the head mechanism. I remove that glue. Heads are going down again but now I get read errors. Here's a guy from Japan with the same problem (pls. look a image 7) : http://www.geocities.jp/tangoorisyoku/ku__page/ku_cgs/98_mente/8inch_FD1165A /1165A_mente.html I hope to find some time to look at the NEC1165 service manual to perhaps check the head alignement with a scope. The manual shows a procedure how to do that. I don't have an alignement floppy. I hope good floppy from my stock might work.

According my list, the 6105 is really a rebadged NEC 1165. You can find a basic manual here: http://www.vintagecomputer.net/fjkraan/comp/divcomp/doc/NEC_FD1165_8_inch_fl oppy.pdf Marcus has a maintenance manual on his site: http://maben.homeip.net/static/S100/NEC/diskette/NEC%20FD1165%20Maintenance. pdf Let me know if this isn't right so I can correct my notes. --Chuck

Huge lot of Univac/Unisys DCP / System-80 series manuals available soon

by p.gebhardt＠ymail.com

Hi list, I'm almost done with the scanning of the 25-30 Sperry-Univac/Unisys binders regarding OS/3, System-80 and DCP-hardware, I got from a company years ago. Parts of it are already online on bitsavers, the rest will be made available to Al at the end of year. I just wanted to make sure the content is scanned and thus saved and as I don't have the hardware and therefore no use for it, I'd like to give the documentation away to somebody who is interested in that. I'll give the documents to whoever seems most approriate from my point of view. Hints to institutions or persons not being on the list and favourable from you point of you are welcome, too. Documents are located in Germany. Shipping would cost and need to be organised if you don't want to pick up, but I'd help with organisation, if possible. Kind regards, Pierre ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre's collection of classic computers : http://classic-computing.dyndns.org/
