Old High-Noise-Immunity Logic for swap/trade

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

Hi, I have a small stack (~60) of assorted "High-Noise-Immunity Logic" (HNIL or HINIL) chips that I have no use for, and would like to trade for something I do have a use for. These run off like +16V; numbers are 3xxCJ (for xx=03, 21, etc); they were made by Teledyne (the line was later bought out by ITT, whose part numbers for these are ITT3xx; also, at some point passed through Telcom, whose part #'s for the series are TSC3xx). If anyone's interested, let me know, I can send you a list of what I've got. Noel

Yard sale goodies

by starbase89＠gmail.com

Greetings! Went to a sale this morning and ended up with some neato pieces of equipment. First are two Shugart 8 inch floppy drives ($1 each), a microprocessor training kit ($30) and finally a RCA COSMAC dual 8 inch disk drive ($5). One of the sellers told me to come back tomorrow because he's going to dig out a bunch of other 70s and early 80s equipment. https://postimg.org/image/gyjd3j16p/ I can find no reference to either the microprocessor trainer for the cosmic disk drive assembly online. Any information would be pretty cool to see. Thanks! Joe Giliberti

PDP-11 prices

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So that most recent PDP-11/20 (well, technically, a /15) on eBay went for $2200: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191933305000 which was a lot less than the other one _but_ this was only one drawer, only one ME11 memory, no H960, no documentation, no software, no KT11-B, etc, etc. It looks like the high bidder was the under-bidder on the previous one.

It is a maintenance panel off a 6180 series machine, like the panels in your collection. The roller is missing. The text in the upper left reads "ADDRESS/SAMPLE TALLY CONDITIONS" I'll take some pictures and send you a link. -- Charles

good to hear this assures me of the sanity of trading one of our 77 dx microphones for one and some other odd things In a message dated 8/7/2016 11:02:22 A.M.

Folks! in the opening part of this movie Jim pans past a large white front panel with leds and switches looks like form a Honeywell series... more details or a close up and ask the owner more about it please?

New photorealistic PDP-15 panel simulation for SimH

by j_hoppe＠t-online.de

Hi, here are some updates to the virtual Java panels for SimH ("BlinkenBone project"): * New PDP-15. This rare 18 bit machine is a dream in White & Blue! Now we have PDP-11/20, 11/40, 11/70, PDP-8/I, PDP10/KI10 and PDP-15. * Merged with official SimH 4, timestamp 2016-06-16 * Bugfix for light patterns on the PDP-11/70 panel in "DATA PATH" knob position. Now the "running snake" idle pattern of IAS is shown correctly. * Added a 2.11 BSD UNIX installation for PDP-11/70 (yet another idle pattern!) There are precompiled distribution for Win32, Ubuntu x86 & x64, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone. Just unzip and start. Downloads: https://github.com/j-hoppe/BlinkenBone/releases Web start page: http://www.retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone And direct to the PDP-15: http://www.retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone/simulated-panels/255-simulated… Enjoy, Joerg
