DEC Rainbow 100B For Sale, Manchester, UK

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have a DEC Rainbow 100B in the upright pedestal for sale. It comes with 128K of memory, a hard disk controller with hard disk cable, an RX50 drive and the graphics option. It is just the base unit and the pedestal, there is no keyboard, monitor or hard disk included. I collected this machine recently and had to replace the shorted EMI filter on the input of the PSU with something more modern, so it is a working machine. When I have been given a machine for free that I can't keep, then I give it away. In this case, this one cost me money to buy and repair, so this time I am selling it. I would much prefer collection as it is quite large. If I must ship it then so be it, but it may take me a while to find a suitable box to ship it in, and I may have to add that to the cost. Pictures here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FC758A5A91B91301!5858 <https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=FC758A5A91B91301!5858&authkey=!AC9g74 Lag3CoW5k&ithint=folder%2cjpg> &authkey=!AC9g74Lag3CoW5k&ithint=folder%2cjpg Looking for offers.

making music with pdp 11/40

by billdegnan＠gmail.com

anyone make music with the pdp 11/40 or UNIBUS system similar to the PDP 8e music? I was able to get a basic tone pattern into the AM radio today. Not sure how to "write" music, but it's a start.

S/360 Model 30 (?) FS in NC

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

Oooh, if I didn't have an _extremely_ strict rule about 'only PDP-11's' (to prevent my house filling to the gills, and my wife divorcing me :-), I'd be all over that. Someone definitely needs to grab this up! Noel

S/360 Model 30 (?) FS in NC

by COURYHOUSE＠aol.com

I still have the aluminum bar that says 360 30 that was on the top of the system here in phx. I bought early on in my computer business life segment. Aside from being part of a memento for me and sort of interesting sitting in a glass case... it may need to find its way back atop a 360/30 someday.

US Mountain Standard Time, aek at bitsavers.org writes: Maybe a 2841 disk controller, but the 360/30 panel has been pulled. Hard to say what is really there.
