MS11 M8110/M8120 controller card differences

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So I notice that M8120 controller card for the MS11 seems to share its etch with the earlier M8110 variant (the M8120 says "M8110" in the etch :-); so the differences must be component/configuration/ECO. Does anyone happen to know what the differences between the two are? Thanks! Noel

Interest Check: Belden Thicknet 10base5 Ethernet Coax

by systems.glitch＠gmail.com

All, Per the recent discussion on thicknet/early Ethernet, I figured I'd see if there's any interest in cut-to-length Belden thicknet/10base5 Ethernet cable. I've got a local surplus guy who's got at least one 1100 foot roll. It's the real Ethernet spec stuff, sez so on the cable, and it has the bands to locate your vampire taps. If there's enough interest, I'll buy the spool off of him and cut it to length for whoever's interested in buying some. I can crimp N terminations on as well. Thanks, Jonathan

Personal Communications

by cctalk＠gtaylor.tnetconsulting.net

I ran across the following messages in comp.os.os2.marketplace (referenced from comp.os.os2.programmer.misc) and remembered that there were a few people talking about IBM's Personal Communications Manger here, particularly in the context of the P/390. So I figured that I'd cross post the info. The asking price (free + S&H) seems reasonable.) -- Grant. . . . unix || die

Next 'stack' of computers to go, IBM p7's - not classics this time

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Mark Linimon > Would love to if you can change your mind on shipping? https://www.pakmail.com/ Like I said, they will come pick things up, as they sit - perfect for Pete's situation. And from my experience, not _always_ cheap, but _usually_ pretty good (e.g. a large PDP-11 in a 19" rack from Toronto to Virginia was about $500, which for international freight on something that big is pretty good.)

Tennecomp

by kylevowen＠gmail.com

Al uploaded some of my Tennecomp docs onto Bitsavers: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/tennecomp/ He also already had some brochures, which are very interesting as well. Anyone else have some Tennecomp stuff? I've got more stuff to scan, including a bunch of schematics (size C paper, for the most part), as well as a few other manuals I believe. I'd be curious to hear any of their history, especially because of their location in Oak Ridge, TN. I will also photograph some of my Tennecomp things (my Minidek, some Omnibus boards, etc.) at some point. Thanks, Kyle P.S. My Minidek came with some carts, but the pressure pads are all rotted. A cursory glance online didn't turn up any source of replacement pads in stock for Fidelipacs/Stereo-Paks. Anyone have any suggestions, or tips on making your own?

DEC COM, MEM, ETC.

by useddec＠gmail.com

I've been doing some sorting looking for some boards for a list member, and found a few items I will probably never use. Shipping from 61820, and overseas upon request. Stateside shipping is $16 for as many hex or quad height boards as you want, and $11 for as many quads as you want. Looking for offers, the more you want, the better. M7800 DL11 M7819 DZ11 M8202 DMC11 M8203 DMP11 M8206 DMC11 M8637 MSV11 M8639-YA, YB RQDX M8722 MS11-MB 11/44 M8728 11/70 MOS M8743 MS11-PB Boards only, no cables unless part of board. This is only the tip of the iceberg, feel free to ask about others. I do have one 11/70 memory box left. I think it is MOS, and I will check if requested. Many thanks, Paul

HP Series 9000 early 1980’s computer hardware

by ljw-cctech＠ljw.me.uk

The following was sent to the list as an attachment so I am forwarding it. Please don't reply to me but rather to Mr Parker. I have removed his full address and phone number. To:? classiccmp.org Re: HP Series 9000 early 1980?s computer hardware Hi, I own several HP 9020 work stations along with peripheral gear associated with that series. That gear includes several types of hard drives and tape drives, standalone monitors and even an impact 132 character line printer. I also have a CPU, that I think is a 9000/550. Not a work station but a more powerful CPU using the same technology as the 9000/520. Plus cables and extra circuit boards used in that series equipment. All of the stuff worked the last time it was fired up. I also have the disks and tapes for the software shipped with that equipment. I am getting along in years and rather leaving it to be trashed in the future I am looking for a new home for the stuff. So can you suggest someone who might be interested in it? Sincerely, Charles D. Parker Howell, MI 48844 Chas.parker at comcast.net -- Lawrence Wilkinson lawrence at ljw.me.uk The IBM 360/30 page http://www.ljw.me.uk/ibm360

Looking for info on "Soft Tape Forth" for the Apple IIe

by dkelvey＠hotmail.com

I've gotten a copy of this Forth from someplace. I was going to play with it some but it has so many non-standard words, I ws hoping someone might have glossary of words for this Forth. Also, it came with a number of game programs that used some graphics output. I was wondering which graphics board it was intended to work with. Dwight
