BBC Collectaholics

by lproven＠gmail.com

I haven't seen this yet but I'm told that last week's episode of this show featured an impressive vintage computer collection. It's on BBC iPlayer, but I have a downloadable copy as well if that is inaccessible for anyone... -- Liam Proven ? Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk ?

HP21MX boards on Ebay.

by mattislind＠gmail.com

Someone (not me) in Germany is selling a number of cards from a HP21MX machine. Some boards have date codes from 1974 so I guess it is an M-series. Not sure what cards there are in this lot, but it is for sure the CPU boards itself, some memory boards and what looks like some serial boards. http://www.ebay.de/itm/16-Neuwertige-HP-Speicher-Platinen-und-andere-/23153…

What are the switches on the grey panel of decdatasystem/business cabinets used for?

by p.gebhardt＠ymail.com

Hello list, while surfing for PDP-11 information yesterday, I came across pictures of a dec data system cabinet with the vertical grey panels, one of them having three distinct switches. https://www.flickr.com/photos/8061522 at N07/3793505025/ So far, I couldn't find any hints on the web to figure out what they're used for. They only seem to exist on those larger business cabinets as far as I could see. Does anybody of you know about their functions? Kind regards, Pierre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre's collection of classic computers moved to: http://www.digitalheritage.de

SCSI Terminal Server question

by b4＠gewt.net

Hey, I have a Digi STS 1032 SCSI terminal server here, thought I'd ask if anyone knows before I pull out the multimeter and fight with using a magnifier to count the pins and measure. 50-pin external SCSI, anyone know if this is an HVD SCSI device? -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

Tapes for Bruker Aspect 2000

by dkelvey＠hotmail.com

Hi Al I have a number of tapes that are for the Bruker Aspect 2000. They include the OS called ADAKOS. Originally, I had thought these might be Nicolet 1080 tapes but the format was different. I didn't recognize it. I've since found that they are for the Bruker 2000 ( a 24 bit computer, loosely based on the 1080 computer ). I have no need for the tapes ( punch ) and only want to keep the tape tray. There are 12 tapes in a 8 slot tray. One of the tapes is TECO but most of the others are instrument or system test of some sort. I'd like to pass them to your archive ( not sure there is much demand for these but you never know ). Can you let me know when you might be at the CHM so I can stop by and drop them off. Dwight

New DEC Docs Uploaded

by silent700＠gmail.com

I have scanned some docs today which don't appear to be in any known collections. There are two PDP-11 Loader Listings from 1975 and the engineering drawings for the LT33, DEC's rebadging (and modification?) of the Teletype Model 33. Those can be found here: http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/index.php?dir=%2Fcomputing/DEC Included with the LT33 packet was Teletype's set of wiring diagrams for the Model 33 with Private Line. Their number for the set is WDP 0033. There are other examples of this set out there but mine looked slightly different, so I went ahead and scanned it: http://chiclassiccomp.org/docs/index.php?dir=%2Fcomputing/Teletype Feel free to add them to your own sites/collections. In my searches I ran across this site: http://www.navy-radio.com/tty/tty-wd-list.htm Loads of Teletype docs there. These docs came with the 11/05 I picked up last year. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the LT33 unit. The docs above are free-for-shipping to anyone who'd like the originals. They're in very good shape, just unstapled for scanning. I'm in 60070 ZIP. -j

Burroughs B1900 for sale in North Carolina

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: William Donzelli > will see what can be made of it. That is great to hear. This sounds like a machine that should be saved, but I can't really do anything myself (I think PDP-11's are my limit - my wife tolerates them, but if I started collecting mainframes... :-). If you need a hand in any way (I'm just across the state line in SE Virginia), e.g. for loading, temporary storage until you can arrange shipping, or whatever, please let me know. Noel
