PDP-11/24 Backplane Block or Wirelist; M7134 KT24 Unibus Map

by pbirkel＠gmail.com

I'm looking for an unwanted PDP-11/24 backplane block. If anyone has one for a good home (honest :->), please contact me off-list. Since I expect no success on that request, I'm also looking for the 11/24 backplane wire-list. No luck online; probably need someone to dig into their microfiche. >From EK-11024-TM-PRE PDP-11/24 System Technical Manual (1981): 2.7 MODULE UTILIZATION IN A TYPICAL SYSTEM The PDP-11/24 processor module uses its own backplane ( PN 70-16905) and can not use a DD11-CK, DD11-DK, or DD11-PK. >From MP01018 FIELD MAINT. PRINT SET 11/24: D-AD-7016905-0-0 11/24 B/P ASSY. ----- Also looking for *any* documentation for the M7134 KT24 UNIBUS MAP (EXTENDED ADDRESS TO 22 BITS) but especially want the print set. No luck online; maybe have to dig into microfiche there as well? Thanks! paul

VisualAge Smalltalk 5.0

by BHuntsman＠mail2.cu-portland.edu

Hi! I know there are a few of us on the list who appreciate classic software as well as classic hardware. I have an interesting app I want to poke at that strictly requires VisualAge Smalltalk 5.0. I know that it was offered in trial form back then just like the current versions. Might anyone have a copy of VAST 5.0 for Windows in their archive? Many many thanks!! -Ben

Anybody have boot disks / application disks for the Xerox 860 IPS word processing system? We need working ones for the MARCH museum in New Jersey. We can supply blank 8" disks if needed.

Apple & FTC

by c.murray.mccullough＠gmail.com

As formed readers of this webpage know Apple is one of the original 4 companies to mass produce/market 8-bit microcomputers in 1977. The FTC ruling has confirmed that Apple is a special technology company, innovations and patents being keys to its success in the wireless industry (iPhones) and tablet computer industry(iPads). Apple needs to be protected as it's an invaluable contributer to keeping America competitive and as a leader in mass-consumer, high technology, just as it was in the late 70s. Or so it argues!

Xerox 860 disks

by evan＠snarc.net

>> There are four 8" disk images in Don Maslin's archive which appear to be for the 860 ... The 860SCSYS.TD0 image appears to be a system disk of some sort. The others appear to contain word processing documents. I can send you (or Ian) the image files, or write them to 8" disks for you. Thanks Mike. Please send me a fresh copy of the system disk and the training disk. If at all possible, please mail them tomorrow (Wed.) so I'll get them by Saturday and be able to test them at the museum Sunday. Will send you my snail mail privately.

Who has metal-case prototype Osborne 1?

by tosteve＠yahoo.com

A few years ago, an original metal-case Osborne 1 prototype system was for auction on pbagalleries.com for $5,000, but it didn't sell - probably a bad venue to sell computers.? The seller said he eventually did sell it, but he's doesn't recall to who. Does anyone here know where it went, or does anyone here have one? I want to compare the inside construction with mine. Thanks.

We can supply blank 8" disks if needed. Now there is a system that will make you appreciate modern computers, and word processing software! I had to use one about 25 years ago, and used to have the doc's for it, but I think I gave those to Jim Willing in late 2000. Zane -- | Zane H.
