iMac dating?

by jules.richardson99＠gmail.com

There's an iMac (CRT-based) turned up for sale locally with a white / clear pale-blue case; is it safe to assume that it's either: A first-generation (or first-gen rev C/D), An iMac SL, An iMac DV/SE ... i.e. Apple didn't offer that case style/color on any of the later systems, so it's got to be one of the earlier ones from around 1999/2000? cheers J.

HP 98xx

by cc＠informatik.uni-stuttgart.de

I have scanned now one binder containing blueprints/schematics for the HP 9810 and 9820. There may be more hidden somewhere in the archives. I'll scan that, too, when I find them. I hope that I also have schematics for the 9830. For now, they are mostly single page TIFF images; multi-page parts are packed into PDFs. As usual, they can be found on our FTP site: ftp://computermuseum.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/hp/98xx/ Enjoy ;-) Christian

Writing article on computer museums for www.destinationz.org/

by gabe＠gabegold.com

I'm writing an article on computer museums for www.destinationz.org/ They're everywhere -- once I started looking for them. I knew about -- have toured -- Computer History Museum -- www.computerhistory.org/ And I recently saw a great presentation on The Living Computer Museum -- www.livingcomputermuseum.org/ But I hadn't known about American Computer & Robotics Museum -- www.compustory.com/ I wonder what other museums exist -- especially any with relevance to mainframes -- so I'll appreciate tips/pointers and, especially, hearing about experiences joining/supporting/visiting them. (Or contributing artifacts to them. Maintaining private collections of mainframe components as some people I know do is interesting but might not qualify as operating a museum. My wife called one such residence decorated with large mainframe components a "computer mausoleum" -- but I liked it.) Too bad, I have no budget for world tour of museums -- so I'll have to visit virtually. ==> Please copy me directly so responses don't get lost in list digests.

Best TOPS-10 tape imaging and DECsystem 10/20 emulation....

by rescue＠hawkmountain.net

Been away from the list for a while, but a recent discovery has rekindled one of my classic computing projects I always wanted to do... I have 3 tapes that I have re-discovered that came from my earliest college days. They have stuff from my days on a TOPS-10 system. I have a DEC SCSI based tabletop tape drive to read these with. What is the best way to image these, preserving their contents ? Also, what software will put these in a format I can use with an emulator ? Does anyone know if any of the emulators can mount the tapes directly >from the emulator through the SCSI bus ? Or is the only way to image these in a format compatible with the emulators ? Anyone know what the best emulator is for DECsystem10 ? How about DECsystem 20 ? Thank in advance, -- Curt

A dealer just called me. He was one of the first 100 Apple dealers in the US, and he has been sitting on original equipment since it was first being sold.

HP 7906 wish list

by mloewen＠cpumagic.scol.pa.us

The recent talk about 7906 drives prompted me to post this. My wish list includes a 7906H (preferably), or a 7906M (with 13037) would be acceptable. Does anyone have one taking up space? East coast (US) would be preferable. Mike Loewen mloewen at cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://sturgeon.css.psu.edu/~mloewen/Oldtech/

Microvax II won't boot, hardware error?

Even though early versions of VMS do not enforce licensing through the LMF, it's still required. Media can be borrowed. HP doesn't care where you get it, but asks that it not be posted for public download.

Not-100%-classic: OpenGL driver dev for Mac OS 9?

by fraveydank＠gmail.com

I'm going to call this "classic by fiat", since Apple has decided that it's "vintage" enough to have stripped most of the content >from its website by now, though it's not clear that any of this was ever easily available there to begin with. I'm looking for any guides, sample code, etc. on developing OpenGL drivers for Mac OS 9, since an evening with Google has proven mostly fruitless. I've found plenty on developing OS 9 OpenGL *applications*, but I'm looking for even just a reference for the hooks that need to go into the driver. So far, I've come up pretty empty. I always have the option of reverse-engineering existing drivers, since I have a copy of IDA Pro, but that's obviously a BIG time commitment. Anyone have such a thing in their possession or know to whom I should speak? I'll be posting this on a few lists/forums. - Dave
