I have 3 old Tektronix keyboards here; 2 are larger and one is smaller. The 2 larger ones are PN 119-2468-03 (missing "Menu" keycap) and 119-2468-00 (complete). Both of these have a large RJ45 type end. Square button with arrows instead of directional arrows. Smaller one is PN 119-1592-02, AT type connector, special keys above the 5, 6, 7 and 8 keys. It is complete. Octagonal button top left. These are NOT lightweight keyboards, but I would be happy to ship them. Somebody make an offer? Smaller one looks similar to this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tektronix-Terminal-Keyboard-119-2493-/261456871488 Larger ones look like the 2nd pic on this page: http://www.computerequipmentwarehouse.com/tektronixkeyboardsall.html Click on the pic for a larger image.

Overland Data OD3210 error codes -- solved

by js＠cimmeri.com

Many thanks yet again to the very kind _Bernhard Wulf_, who took time out of his busy day to save my OD3210 by sending me a special procedures document which details resetting the NOVRAM and conducting a few calibration tests after servicing. Anyone with any Overland tape drive, feel free to email me directly and I'll send you the .pdf file... but send your thanks to Bernhard. So, to recap, replacing the battery on my 3210's PWB caused the battery backed-up non-volatile memories to get scrambled, resulting in an 4x/second flashing ALERT upon after-service POST. Using the special procedures (not documented in the user manual where they should have been), I was able to reinitialize the NVRAM contents and recalibrate the drive. I know for a fact that this same problem has stymied several people before me, some of whom probably disposed of their perfectly good drives as a result. Thanks also go out to Chuck Guzis and Tony Duell for their clues and suggestions. - John S.

Control Data CDC Plato system available in Minneapolis

by woolfson＠telswitch.com

If someone buys this, let me know. I own one of the IST terminals and use it regularily on Plato (Cyber1). Paul Koning provided me with a copy of the binary resident , and I wrote a wrapper to load it into the terminal upon power-up; so that the terminal will speak Plato ASCII protocol to cyber1.org via a serial cable connected to a PC which wraps things in IP over to cyber1.org port 8005. ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Re: Control Data CDC Plato system available in Minneapolis Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2014 13:00:28 -0500 From: Jason T <silent700 at gmail.com> On Mar 6, 2014, at 8:58 PM, Paul Koning wrote: > PLATO computer? Or PLATO terminal? I would guess terminal is meant. Looks like the owner tired of my (and other) attempts at getting him to ship it and has....decided he can ship it, after all.

Apple Lisa, for those that asked

by sales＠elecplus.com

The Apple Lisa is complete, does not appear to be screen burned. Includes hard drive and floppy drive and keyboard. Somewhat yellowed due to age. Does NOT power on, no repairs attempted. (Is there someplace else to turn it on, besides the white square button above the keyboard jack?)
