some local folks have picked up a few of these, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any documentation beyond what I put up on bitsavers yesterday they are modified Selectric mechanisms with serial I/O and paper tape reader/punches

How to tell if a Displaywriter 6360 floppy has double-sided drives in it.

by aek＠bitsavers.org

I don't know if this is always true, but it appears that the way you can tell is if there is a "T" on the lower right of the 6580 badge on the front. I didn't see this in the documentation anywhere. The controller inside is significantly different (3 boards instead of one). +--------+ | IBM | | | | 6360 | | T| +--------+ There are a couple up on eBay right now from seller 'potomacestore' Double-sided 6360s seem to be much less common than single-sided.

by francesco.nidito＠gmail.com

Hi All ? I recently bought a Litton Monroe OC-8820 but, unfortunately, there were neither software nor manual with the machine. Does anybody in this list have software and / or manuals for the OC-8820? Many thanks in advance, Francesco

VCFMW 13: Less Than a Month to Go!

by silent700＠gmail.com

Hello classic computing fans! We're entering the final weeks before the big event, and here is an update. If you're subscribed to the mailing list, you've already seen most of this (for review/sharing: https://mailchi.mp/e060dcbd1bfd/vcf-midwest-13-one-month-to-go). - Exhibits: Our exhibitor list has been posted, showing most (but not all!) of the displays you'll see this year. We're happy to once again have a great variety of platforms and eras represented, as well as some new faces alongside our veteran exhibitors. Check it out at: http://vcfmw.org/ex.html - Table space: We are full! Until, that is, we're not. All of the past shows have included several last-minute changes, so space does open up. There is a stand-by list forming; please email me directly if you'd like to be on it. - Presentations: Once again this year we have a full weekend of interesting talks and demos. The schedule (as it stands now) has been posted. All talks are filmed and will be posted online - but they're always much better in person! http://vcfmw.org/pres.html - Hotel: Due to other parties pre-booking a large block of rooms, Friday night (14th) at the Holiday Inn is sold out. If you have not yet reserved a room, please check back with the hotel after 8/27, as any remaining unbooked rooms will be added back to our block on that date. Our block still has rooms for Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights. - Donations: VCFMW is a community-supported exhibition, free and open to all. Most of our funding comes from either cash donations (online or at the show) or donations of equipment for our community auction. Please consider one or both methods of support. Auction items can be given to VCFMW staff before Saturday afternoon. Purchasing items at the auction also helps - and it's always an event not to be missed! - Free pile: The tradition of the Free Pile continues this year. This is a great way to unload that "junk" (but not too junky) hardware and software and contribute to the classic computing community. Our only request is that you make sure that whatever you leave is gone by 4pm Sunday. We thank you once again for your interest in and support of VCF Midwest and the whole classic computing hobby. We'll see you in a month! -j

QED 933 (11/93 clone) and mystery SCSI board

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Glen Slick > A few people bought QED-993 boards from eBay in the last few years. > ... They are set up to use the standard 11/93 console panel, although > only 4 async ports are implemented, not 8. Is there any documentation anywhere? Bitsavers had only a thing on the QED-95. Noel

Australian Computer Museum - HELP

by markarmbrennan＠gmail.com

Hi Noel, I spoke to John last week most things were saved, I am going to try to help them with some archiving of some of the items that were in storage later in the year. But the good news is most things were saved in time. Mark
