I have a C program that generates the nice 5x7 font (actually using the 8th row as a descender on lower case) suitable for punching in paper tape.? I've used it on my Facit 4070 paper tape punch with good results. The 4070 is attached with a simple adapter to a standard printer port. If desired, I can supply details.

Seeking the Apollo PSK8 support tape image (for Domain/OS SR10.3 on 425 and 433 workstations)

by ian.finder＠gmail.com

A friend and I are trying to set up Domain/OS 10.3 on a 425 system. 10.3 appears to be the last release that will run on both the 425 system and the DN300 we are trying to netboot. In order to boot the Domain/OS 10.3 stock tapes on the 68040 based 425, we will need the PSK8 kit. Does anyone have images or tapes of: -- Ian Finder (206) 395-MIPS ian.finder at gmail.com

Slashdot has fallen strangely silent on this story after building it up in the last few weeks and months, and most of last year. Curious, but not the first time that's happened. jbdigriz

Fine, Jason. Just trying to observe protocols learned through previous list trauma. :-) No offense intended. Ignore my post to the list anyway. I see there was in fact a /. story on the vote published. My browser was stuck on the "idle" site somehow, earlier. My bad.

What resolution should I scan a missing print set at?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

Hi all, I have a PDP-11 print set (MP00196, M9301 Bootstrap/Terminator) which is not online. I wish to scan my copy, and donate the scan to all the repositories. What resolution should I scan it at? I looked at a couple that are available as TIFFs, and they claim to be 600 dpi - that can't be right, is it? If it is, no problem, I'm happy to do it at that resolution, but I just don't want to do silly overkill. Thanks! Noel

Lexitron Videotype

by simski＠dds.nl

Hello all, I mailed about this last year, and got no response, so here again: I'm looking for info on this very strange terminal/wordprocessor from the early seventies: http://aheckofa.com/FoolMeOnce/MiscScans/EarlyVideoWP400.png https://hack42.nl/gallery/v/Museum/DSCF7634.JPG.html http://aheckofa.com/FoolMeOnce/MiscScans/Lexitron500.png as you see, there is not much info on the web about this very beautiful, yet strange beast. Unfortunately the picture tube is broken and we are missing the main processing unit. It seems that the display used vector graphics as the horizontal an vertical are identical in design and the normal raster scanning generators are missing. the terminal connected with a 94 pin connector to the main unit, being also fed power though this cable. anyone -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen drukknop.nl
