punchcard reader wanted to rent, BC Canada area

by billdegnan＠gmail.com

$$ if you have an IBM 2501 or similar looking punchcard reader and would like to rent it from sept 1-9th. I would expect you'd deliver it and set up so it reads cards, and as a bonus can print cards that "say something on them", understanding that was not how they were originally used. This is for a SCI FI channel show. Contact me vintagecomputer.net/contact.cfm if you can do this. $$ worth the trouble. If it does not work, that's possibly ok, but they want a working reader that at least reads in a stack of cards through the mechanism. Bill

Looking for SCP board

by rich.cini＠verizon.net

All -- Might be a long shot, but I'm looking for a Seattle Computer SCP-300 8086 Support Board for a project I'm working on. I have the memory and CPU, and a Cromemco floppy card but I'm looking for this to complete the set. If anyone has one that works that they're willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks.

DEC Indicator Panels page

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Mike Ross > Here's the FP15 you were looking for... Oooh, thanks; I had that image, wasn't exactly sure what it was. I hadn't done much with the PDP-15 panels, in part because it wasn't my focus (the -11) panels, in part because it seemed like there were a ton of them, in the -15 pictures I had. I have now put a few cycles into them, and have identified the RF11 and TC11 as well, and added them to the page (crummy images from scanned manuals, though). There are still some other -15 panels showing up in pictures, which I have no idea about. To start with, there's this image: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/gdmr/Historical/Photos/1980.08-PDP1540.jpg That's clearly an FP15 on the lower left, and I have identified the center one as a TC15, but what are the other two? And here's one with two _more_ different panels: http://www.simulogics.com/nostalgia/DEC/15_01.jpg The one on the right does _not_ seem to be a TC15... And then there are: http://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/gallery/ral/orig/r12600y.jpg http://www.chilton-computing.org.uk/gallery/ral/orig/r12588.jpg but those seem to be the same as in the first one.

can anyone identify this terminal keyboard and pcb?

Neat. ?Any thoughts as to model year? ?Are these ASCII?

I'm pretty sure it was a Telex message preparation terminal. They did have a 202 datacomm service. Still no clue who might have made it. He did have more than one keyboard, so I did buy one. After staring at the code in the eproms there is a setup mode (probably shift/A) which looks like it lets you set a clock. Another clue is the cent symbol above the 6

Canon VP-1000

This recently came up on the FB vintage computing group. http://www.thepcmuseum.net/details.php?RECORD_KEY%28museum%29=id&id%28museu… Allegedly it's a successor to the Canon Cat and preserved some elements of it, but Google can find little about it. Others are looking too... http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?47761-Anybody-have-info-about-the… -- Liam Proven ? Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk ?
