I'm looking for a reaonably priced tape drive in a Sun 411 enclosure w/ the scsi-2 cable and the terminator. Prefer one of the older style Archive150/250's , but could do with a an 8mm. As long as it can '>b st()' on an old '020 it will work...
Bonus if you threw in a cartridge or two 8-).
I 'd like to create a SunOS 4.1.1 boot tape. I could do a CDROM, but somehow it seems more 'authentic' to install it from tape!!!
If anyone can help me out shoot me an e-mail off list. It would be shipped in the lower 48, WA state...
cheers

Morning all,
Local junk shoppe owner asked me if I knew what these cabinets were,
because he thought they might be computer-related, and although I have my
doubts I said I'd ask here:
http://www.patooie.com/temp/cabs.jpg
The top one is about 18" wide and 18" deep, while the bottom one is more
like 20" wide and 18" deep (all guesstimates with mk1 eyeball). The slots
on both are about 2" high. Both have arms internally which are designed to
slide the contents out partway when the doors are opened, and the arms on
the green one are curved, suggesting that they held something cylindrical.
Somehow they 'feel' too old to be computer-related to me - if I had to
guess, I'd say they were maybe for canisters containing movie reels, but I
suppose it's possible that they're far newer than I think and might be for
some '60s or '70s disk packs / tapes / whatever...
cheers

I've seen this item relisted several times.
I believe it is a MicroVAX 3500.? It's in a dual
rack on large casters with built in air conditioning!
Looks nice and clean.

Hi,
has someone on this list ever tried to connect a WizNet module like the
following to a UNIX system without any network stack and use it?
http://www.wiznet.co.kr/Sub_Modules/en/product/Product_Detail.asp?cate1=&ca…
I have an old SYSIII Z8000 System which has zero clue about "network" and
I wonder if this could be changed by such a module. At least a kernel
and a libnet which utilizes this driver have to be written which would be
quite some work to get a "compatible" libnet at the end of the day.
I guess at least "ping" would be doable then. For ftp, telnet and so on
much more kernel work would have to be done I guess... Pseudo-Terminal
support at least... plenty of work :(
Greetings, Oliver
ball brothers hd17 monitor schematic / service manual wanted,
so I can finally tackle the stability issues on my Lilith's display / monitor.
The HD17 is not among the Ball Brothers section on Bitsavers.

This was a very early and horribly priced bit to run X86 code on sun
systems.
Internally and elsewhere I heard is was called "What a Bunch of Idiots"
Anyway some idiot has a cd he thinks is worth $599 on epay right now.
I don't know that you could activate it w/o someone at Sun getting you a
key, but even so it is a lot over the top.
Found in my sweep for interesting "emulators".
there is also a cd for "SoftWindows" for only $399.
My original search w/o tuning used to sweep up some religious cult who
used the term, as well as a huge number of folks who used the term to
refer to something sold to defeat encryption on Satellite boxes.
That business all died when the 8' dishes out on the farm gave way to
Dish and the like with real encryption.

Hello, I am currently looking for a Digicom Electrocom 870 MDT mobile
police computer for a police vehicle restoration. These computers were
widely used in the 80s but are now obsolete. Do you have one possibly for
sale or know of someone with one? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
i have wondered something. do old terminal machines need to be used with their own server box or can they be used with other machines. also what are some stuff u can do with an old terminal
Hello list,
just wants to drop a small note that the large lot of manuals and schematics about the System 80 mainframe found
a new home in the "Museo dell'Informatica Funzionante computer museum in Palazzolo Acreide, Italy".
They have such a system, so the manuals seem to be in good hands.
Check out their website:
http://museo.freaknet.org/en/
I will in future, as soon as I find some time, finalise the files of the scans and put the rest of them on bitsavers.
Kind regards,
Pierre
