Are there any AS/400 emulators out there? Alternately, any baby AS/400 systems in the Columbus, OH area? I'm asking for a friend. -- -Jon Jonathan Katz, Indianapolis, IN.

PDP-11/10 handles and switches

by kylevowen＠gmail.com

I found several spare switches and handles for what I believe would be a PDP-11/10 or similar. The handles are white and are marked 1210785. The switches are C&K 7121 (on-on) and 7128(on-momentary on). Can anyone confirm? Thanks, Kyle

HP 150 Ethernet software

by fozztexx＠fozztexx.com

Seeing the discussions about the HP150 and the HP-IL stuff reminded me that I have an HP 150 with the 3COM Ethernet card, but I've never found any software for it. I checked hpmuseum.net and they don't have software, and didn't even have a picture of the card until I provided them some pictures of mine. Does anyone happen to have the software?

Stardent 19" workstation monitor

by vcf＠siconic.com

I have a monitor for a Stardent workstation. It's a re-badge Sony, model number 130-0001-01. Free for pickup, or 1.2 * cost of shipping to recoup time and trouble if you want it shipped. Please respond soon if you are interested as it will be going off for scrap in a week if there are no takers. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

DECwriter III LA120 ribbons?

by bob＠jfcl.com

Does anybody have a source or replacement for LA120 DECwriter III ribbons? I've actually got about 8 "new old stock" ones, still shrink wrapped, but all that I've tried are pretty much dried out despite the shrink wrap. They barely make a mark on the paper, even with the little print impression lever cranked all the way up. Thanks, Bob

Replacing head on a Rk05j

by cramcram＠gmail.com

I recently acquired 3 RK05j's that seem to have spent time in a barn as well as having been used by a heavy smoker. I thoroughly cleaned and de-gray-foamed them as well as putting in new absolute filters. The first one came up after cleaning with no issues. Works great. Number two spins up but the initial seek emits a sickening "klang" as the voice coil drives hard to the limit (yes, the graticule lamp is working). Any ideas? The third drive initially had really ugly heads that never cleaned up to my liking. I loaded a disk anyway and for about 5 seconds after the initial head load all was okay. Then I heard the sound of the top head scouring the disk. So I'm thinking of buying replacement heads off of eBay. Apparently these are the heads but not the steel tongues that they mount on. So I have some questions for anyone on the list who may have changed their heads. 1. How hard is it to mount the head in the tongue? Looks like just 2 screws. 2. How hard is it to remove/replace the tongue assembly? Looks like it mounts with a couple of allen screws. 3. How hard is it to align the heads? I don't have a CE pack so I'll just have to use a pack that works okay on the other drive. 4. Any sage advice or whatever? Thanks for any and all help. Marc

by colineby＠isallthat.com

Hi all, I have a colleague doing a bit of restoration work and fault finding. He could really use access to engineering manuals for the StorageTek 1960 drive. Does anyone have physical or electronic copies of those? -Colin Eby
