Andromeda Systems DC11

by bill.gunshannon＠hotmail.com

I asked this on USENET, I don't suppose it would hurt to ask here as well. Anybody here remember the Andromeda DC11? More importantly, does anyone still have Andromeda stuff laying around? The module used something called "Personality Cards" which were actually just connection adapters for different kinds of disks. I am trying to find a couple (I'd be happy with one) WPC8F adapters for connecting 8" disks to my modules.? Any chance anyone has these taking up space?? Of course, I would also take other kinds of adapters, well, except for the WPC5FA.? That's for the RX50 and even I don't have any more of them left. bill

LSP10-NW (printer interface for KI10?)

by mattislind＠gmail.com

I have received this for a retired DEC service engineer: https://i.imgur.com/pJkcsHe.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/zwpSbrg.jpg According to the label it is a LSP10-NW made by DEC CSS. Previous owner claims it is for a KI10. I don't really know. I have no real use for it except for the flip-chips. Anyone has a need for such a thing or just the backplane? /Mattis

Quad density Pertec

by gerardcjat＠free.fr

Reply to :I note that the Kennedy incremental 7 inch reel drive in the NASA flight case hasn't attracted a lot of interest. That sample tape that I got, however does verify that the parity track on this telemetry stuff is unused. So that explains the 8 data inputs with no parity on the NASA model. --ChuckWell, at least ONE person was interested ... Me .... BUT the vendor does not offerinternational shipping ( to France ), and does not care answering mail :-(Though tape transport is already "packed" ;-)Gerard

ISO: Harris Micro-12 (HB-61000) docs

by derschjo＠gmail.com

Hi all -- Got me a Harris Micro-12 (AKA the HB-61000), this is a single-board computer based around the Harris 6100 (PDP-8 on-a-chip) microprocessor.? I'm working on bringing it back to life and I'm trying to find docs and schematics for it. There's a high-level overview starting on page 5-4 of http://bitsavers.org/components/harris/1979_Harris_CMOS_Microprocessor_Volu…, but that's the most I've found.? Right now it looks like the FLAG 2 signal on the PIE chip (HD-6101, discussed in the aforementioned manual) is holding the 6100's RUN line low; I don't see anything telling the PIE to do that at reset, nor is anything else attached to that signal that I've been able to find, so I'm wagering that the chip is faulty at the moment.? (If I pull the PIE chip out the CPU appears to be running.)? Schematics and/or docs would make this a lot easier. Anyone have a copy of these? Thanks in advance, Josh

UCSD p-system manuals and disks?

by mattislind＠gmail.com

I received these nice binders. https://i.imgur.com/L80ZGusl.jpg I think that most of them are already available online. Not sure about the UCSD Pascal manual? One of the binders contained some disks. https://i.imgur.com/FYIBbmjl.jpg Are these disks available online already or should I dump them? Bitsavers seems to have the Mac version. /Mattis
