I've got an 11/45 + 2 RK05 that I acquired more than 25 years ago, in a running state, but is no longer working after a move in 1992. I also have a full print set and bunch of RK05 disks. I also acquired a second CPU and just pulled the cards for spares, so there is an entire set of spare cards for the CPU, as well as an extra power supply. I've realized that I have too many interests and too little space so want to find a good home for it. Obviously it will require some restoration after sitting for 20 years. Any recommendations on how to sell and a fair price? Location Ontario, Canada David Lewis

Interesting bit of trivia about the Tek 8002 development system

by aek＠bitsavers.org

Was digging through the archives for Millennium development system documentation, and discovered the Tek 8002 was developed by them. I thought this looked familar http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/accession/X2272.2002C and scanned the manuals, which I uploaded to tek/800x http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/accession/102665521

Genrad Futuredata 2300 development system service data

by aek＠bitsavers.org

I picked up a users manual for this, but it doesn't have detailed service information. Anyone have a real service manual for these? Chuck Guzis mentioned that the 8" floppy encoding was GCR, the disks aren't readable with a normal FDC.

Chicago suburban high school computing c. 1970 [was RE: digi-log terminals?]

by RichA＠LivingComputerMuseum.org

From: Bob Brown Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 12:19 PM > I've been trying to figure out the type of terminal I first used at the > Rolling Meadows Public Library in the mid 70's to dial into the local HS > district's hp2000 timeshare system...and this digi-log may be similar. > bbrown at harpercollege.edu #### #### Bob Brown - KB9LFR > Harper Community College ## ## ## Supervisor of Operations > Palatine IL USA #### #### Saved by grace Was that before or after the split of District 214 into 214 and 215? When I graduated from Arlington High School in 1969, Rolling Meadows was part of the same district, and the Computer Math (i.e., FORTRAN IV) class was taught using the 1401 at the school district building near the Mt. Prospect/ Des Plaines city limits line. Monday and Thursday evenings down Northwest Highway. (Lemme see, Arlington, Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Elk Grove, Palatine, Fremd, Wheeling and Buffalo Grove, if I remember the flags on the gym wall correctly. Hersey and something to the south came into being my senior year. That was District 214. Lots of people I knew went to Harper as a start on their college careers.) The next year, 3 of the schools in the district got 1620s (a good friend who was a year younger was the operator for the one at Arlington). By the mid-1970s, I was out of touch with anyone in that area and don't know how things developed, though I did hear about the district split from a freshman at Ohio State when I was a senior (1975). HP 2000, hmm? We're in the middle of putting a 21MX and a later 1000 into service at the museum.

DL10 maintenance manual?

by RichA＠LivingComputerMuseum.org

Folks, Does anyone have a hardcopy of the DL10 (PDP-10/PDP-11 interface) maintenance manual? We have a microfiche of it, but the detail in a very important drawing is lost, and we very much need that to understand some of the verbiage that accompanies it. Thanks, Rich Rich Alderson Vintage Computing Sr. Systems Engineer Vulcan, Inc. 505 5th Avenue S, Suite 900 Seattle, WA 98104 mailto:RichA at vulcan.com mailto:RichA at LivingComputerMuseum.org http://www.LivingComputerMuseum.org/

Wyse WY-55

by john＠yoyodyne-propulsion.net

...is anyone familiar with these terminals? I have one hooked up to my linux box, via a null modem cable. That works fine, but no matter how I set things, I can't get it to display to display drawing characters properly, no matter how I set $TERM and how I set the settings on the terminal. In fact, the only way I can get it to really work (without the drawing characters) is in vt100 mode. Very strange... -- Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems: "The Future Begins Tomorrow" Visit us at: http://www.yoyodyne-propulsion.net -------- "Gregor Samsa awoke one morning to discover that he had been transformed into a giant cockroach." Nah, it's too good. --Max Bialystock
