Hi there,
Does anyone have a manual and/or schematics for a Bell/Northern Telecom 101C dataset?
(It?s the large 110-baud modem sometimes bundled in the stand of Model 33 and 35 Teletypes.)
Thanks very much,
Rob Ferguson

I recently sold this mysterious board on Ebay. The question of what it is
has been gnawing at me. Please take a look at

hello,
I have a question about paper tape punch / reader devices.
I see sometime around devices developed for CNC machines, e.g. the Facit
N4000.
I know these devices are configurable, and mostly have serial interface, so
maybe they could be attached to an "old iron", or to a pc for dumping
purposes.
I'm not sure however about the physical format of the paper tape, the
position of the holes, etc
Are these machines compatible?
Thanks
Andrea

Hello,
I don't know if the documents you have are already in the list of Al,
anyway if you are in willing to scan,
I think it would be better to scan st least at 300 dpi, possibly 600, in
grayscale (color images of course in color); apart from file size, the
files should be saved in lossless format, usually TIFF LZW.
Copy machine scanners usually save in various formats, as tiff or pdf, but
unfortunately the compression algorithm is often jpg, that gives artifacts
specially with black and white two tones images.
If a scanner saving lossless cannot be found, at least put the quality
factor to the max (minimum compression), or use an even higher resolution.
Post processing is another story.
Usually I take the high resolution grayscale images, clean, deskew, reduce
to final resolution 300 dpi and convert to black and white two tone images.
These can be compressed very well with tiff group3 algorithm, so in the end
the file size is acceptable. Then all images merged in a pdf.
Eventually you can also ocr it to add a search layer over bare images.
If you want, I can help you with batch processing.
Al: your list is very interesting, specially older versions of vms... do
you think you could let it available for folks? :)

I found some information on these terminals:
http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/legalize/tektronix/catalog/Tektronix…
has info on the Tektronix XP356 terminal. On PDF page 542 of 576.
http://www.telecompaper.com/news/tektronix-unveils-xp300v-x-terminal--38847
is a short announcement of the (new) availability of the XP300V.

Hi there,
I've recently had a full set of DEC VAX/VMS 4.4 manuals come into my
possession, including all the numbered volumes and many or all of the other
associated references. This is the "wall of orange" for VAX/VMS 4.4. They
are in great shape.
Looking at Bitsavers, Archive.org and other sites, I haven't been able to
find much for this version of VMS. Therefore, I'm inclined to find a way to
scan these and get them into the cloud. Before I go down that path, I would
pose a couple of questions to my esteemed colleagues here:
First, is it possible these are already scanned, and I'm just not looking
in the right place(s)?
If I did scan them, is there anything in particular I should be considering
with respect to file size/quality, formatting, etc.?
Finally, would there be interest? I do believe everything should be
preserved - that said, if it's not possible run this version any longer,
and if no one will ever need the materials, is the effort fruitful.
Would love your thoughts. Thanks!
- Earl
I don't know if scans already exist, but I would say they should indeed be scanned.
Regards
Rob

Hey folks, we had retro stickers at VCF SE and we have some left over so
thought perhaps folks might be interested in them here.
They're the oval type (like what you see on cars) with black outline. What
they say are:
1) 6502
2) Z80
3) C:\> (in Green text)
4) CP/M
The text is black (except the prompt). If you're interested mail me off
list, $2 each to cover our cost (and I can include free shipping in the US,
other countries
will be case by case). I also have "VCF SE" ones in case someone wants
one of those as well. We've had members stick them on Laptops,car windows,
etc.
I've made magnets from them as well (to stick on my truck). I'll also do a
set of each of the 4 different stickers for $6.
Earl
