OT: 1000 year DVD storage

by cclist＠sydex.com

The M-Disc claims 1,000 year permanency. http://www.mdisc.com/ Anyone have experience with these? --Chuck (wondering if we'll be able to find a 1,000 year old DVD player)

Available S-100 PCBs

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi, sorry had to update the quantities with accurate numbers Good news! There are several new and reordered S-100 PCBs available! The S-100 68K CPU boards finally came in so there are about 17 available. There are 35 of the S-100 IDE V2 reorder PCBs and about 19 of the new S-100 bus terminator/prototyping board PCBs. There are seven (7) of the S-100 LAVA PCBs available and two (2) of the S-100 regular prototyping board PCBs available. http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/68000%20Board/68K%20CPU%20Board .htm http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/IDE%20Board/My%20IDE%20Card.htm http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%20bus%20t erminator http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Lava-10%20Board/LAVA-10%20Board .htm http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%20regular %20prototyping%20board The S-100 PCBs cost the same as before ($20 each). However due to unforeseen extreme price increases in shipping by USPS I am forced to change shipping costs. Shipping in the US will be $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping internationally will be $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. I apologize for the large price increase on shipping but this is out of my hands. The USPS is in dire financial trouble and is raising prices on shipping. It affects us all and is most unfortunate. These boards are provided "at cost" so there is no margin to absorb any shipping price increases. I have to pass them along. If you would like one or more S-100 PCBs please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch PS, if you would like to help out this all-volunteer project please get one or more of the S-100 LAVA PCBs. Also the S-100 regular prototyping board PCBs. These PCBs are the oldest ones and them sitting around on a shelf does no one any good. I'd like these to go to a hobbyist who would get some enjoyment from these fun to build and use boards. Thanks in advance.

PDP 8 components file for spice

by tshoppa＠wmata.com

At the flip chip level it would include definitions for DEC3639B (aka 2N3639), D662 (aka 1N645) and D664 (aka 1N3606). Pretty standard stuff to read the datasheets and make SPICE models. A real design (or redesign) would pay extensive attention to margining just like the original designers did. SPICE can help verify to an extent, but all the details you actually need for design of RTL/DTL/flip-flop are in the 60's TI transistor design books.

http://www.houstoncomputermuseum.org/index.html This one is kind of strange, worded oddly for American company, no address or phone number. Is anyone familiar with this museum?
