> From: Jay Jaeger > I would not be terribly surprised if that auction result flushed out > one or two more. Well, auctions like this are hopefully getting the word out that many of these old computers are worth a lot more than scrap value. Yes, it will cause some people to ask unrealistic amounts for them, but better that than the other way: someone's who's asking too much can always come down to reasonability, but someone who's scrapped a machine, well, it's gone forever...

George!

by evan＠snarc.net

Here's a new picture of "George" -- aka the Philbrick analog computer that MARCH rescued two months ago. It was used at M.I.T. from 1958-1970. http://snarc.net/george.jpg

Possible road trip....Illnois, Canada, Maine and back

by useddec＠gmail.com

I'm looking into a road trip from Champaign to Maine via Indy, Detroit, Windsor, Niagra Falls, Buffalo or 1000 Islands, Syracuse to Boston area, and up to Maine. Not sure about the return Route. I'll be leaving late Sep or early Oct. I have talked to a few list members about dropping off/picking up items. If anyone wishes to buy/ sell/ trade along the route, please contact me off list. I have a good size minivan and am trying to keep things down to a BA11-K or FL02 size, but that can change.I do have a few 42 inch cabs with q-bus boxes i could part with. I have a lot of 8A, 8E, qbus, unibus, VAX, boxes and parts, and LAXX, VTxx and VR units and parts. Thanks, Paul

PDP-8 diagnostics SR settings?

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

I got lucky with a little trial & error. Setting the MSB of the SR (i.e. 7000) causes AJRLIA to report an error but then keep testing. Not sure if this works for all the AJ**** diagnostics but hopefully DEC had some kind of pseudo-standard for this...
