Seriously go fuck yourself.. That is all. You are a Jackass.
If i showed up to VCF Id promptly knock you on your ass, you and
mos6581 both. Hence why Im not coming, you bitch boys arent worth
sitting in a chicago jail over.. So go enjoy your dope smoking circle
jerk and FUCK YOU
Stopped in the local electronics haunt, and the owner directed me to a "Fine
to Very Good" IBM 5150. I did not look at it closely, but externally appears
to be very good shape with minor scratches on the under-side. It has two FH
5.25's, and a cassette port on back. He did say that "memory had been
expanded". No monitor, keyboard, or mouse. He's asking $75.00.
If someone has a serious interest, I'd be happy to go look at details on it.
The owner is a friend and he'd certainly let me open it up if need be. I'd
also be willing to pack/ship for the excruciating cost of. "A promise of a
future beer" :)

I recently visited the Minuteman II launch control facility in South
Dakota, and was curious about the computers used there.
Here's a photo of the rack, with the Boeing part numbers visible:

Some Googling of those numbers didn't really reveal much. People love to
talk about the guidance computer in the missile itself, but I can't find
much about what they used when turning the keys.
I like the little placard on the computer about encrypted data in memory.
The whole place is worth a visit if you're out that way.
Does anyone have more information on these? Thanks!

Sorry, not interested. My next project of that sort is for the IBM 1410.

Would you be interested in implementing this microcontroller in VHDL? I'm trying to learn VHDL, but my many projects keep wanting my time. :) I believe there is plenty of reference material for you to use. I've collected some documentation myself that I would be happy to share if need be. Please let me know what you think. Take care my friend.

Hi all,
At the time I've released my DG NOVA in Verilog I was also working on a
PDP-1 in Verilog. Since I haven't
touched the thing for quite some time I've decided to just release it
before it catches dust. So far it can
execute all kinds of programs, limitation is that they may not use IO as
I haven't implemented the latter yet. (So essentially the same state as
my DG NOVA implementation)
It also supports optionally some PDP-1D features in the OPR and SKP
instruction groups. Interrupts are implemented but untested. I'm not
sure in which state I left the IOT controller if it works then both SBS
and SBS16 might be usable.
TL;DR: https://github.com/Jside/pdp1
The RCA110 was the project I was working on before I started the DG
NOVA, it can execute some instructions but there is to much ambiguity in
the reference manual on bitsavers in some cases which led
me to abandon it. Especially since there is no software to cross-check.
So for reference you can get it here:
https://github.com/Jside/rca110
I wanted to mess around a bit with Chisel (a new HDL language used by
the RISCV project) so here
is the start of a CDC160 (currently only the instruction decoder):
https://github.com/Jside/cdc160
I've also uploaded my DG NOVA to Github: https://github.com/Jside/nova1
MC14500B anyone? http://janadelsbach.com/soft/mc14500b.tar
I will occasionally continue working on both the NOVA and PDP-1 (and
maybe CDC160?). Also pull requests are welcome.
As is obvious I *really* like implementing old computers in HDL
languages but I always get stuck
around IO since for any kind of flexibility as with an emulator I
essentially would need to write a bus wrapper so that a (soft-core)
processor executing Linux running an IO server could handle i.e. hard
disks and magnetic tapes and that's I think really not worth it. So I
might just go over and contribute to an emulator/simulator like SIMH if
I'm in an must-implement-an-old-computer/processor mood ;).

Here's a beast of a manual that I've scanned and posted. Will send
the original for the cost of shipping (assume at least 5lbs of paper
here, coming from 60070.)

Scan is here:

Looks like numerical control for machining, not strictly a "computer"
but certainly an early programmable device. 1970 edition but the
earliest date on it is 1962. Can deliver to VCFMW.

One thing I will absolutely not abide here is drama of any kind. Regardless
of anyone's sentiments in response to his post one way or the other, the
list is no place for that.
Suffice it to say, his subject line was correct. That was the final word
he'll ever get on this list, and I have made his ban on freenode:
#classiccmp permanent as well.
For the record, my reasoning for the ban has more to do with other issues of
his - not just the ones commonly posted here and on other forums.
Please kill this thread, the last thing we need is a low SNR.
Best,
J
This is my final word
I was recently banned from #classiccmp for selling a machine that was my
own, I picked it up for someone else who hadnt paid me for it, sat in
my closet for a year now. Hadnt heard from that person, tried
contacting them, to no avail, I listed it on ebay the other day, only
to wake up to find that I had been banned from #classiccmp for listing
that machine. As far as I know its not against the rules to sell my
own personal property. I was finally able to get a hold of the person
who wanted it and he still does. I am currently arranging a way for him
to get it.
I know many of you hate me because im this horrible evil scammer
pedophile, or thats what you think. Common sense says that if I was a
horrible pedophile, I wouldnt have joint custody of my son, But I do.
Because of what was posted online over the years. Yes I scammed over 10
years ago, thats in the past, Im not a bad person nor a pedophile.
People do change you know. Im a hardworking person who tries his
hardest to take care of his kid and family. Yes I enjoy computers.. I
enjoy fixing them up and finding them homes.
I've been treated terrible in this scene by a number of people. calling
me names, you name it. I attended VCF 3 years in a row, Had a
blast. This year I will not be attending due to the sheer number of
threats I have received. I really wanted to bring my son this year.
Hes 10. It would have been fun to share this with him. We really wanted
to have a ccmp display during the 2016 Telephone show here in Michigan
as well, and you all would have been welcome to come.
But if you guy's don't want me in this scene just simply say so, and Ill
quietly disappear.
Thank you for your time and Good Day

I hope the contract includes a very sizeable 'liquidated damages' clause
which comes into force when the artifact is significantly damaged (i.e.
scraped paint, scratches, etc don't count) or destroyed; that number should
be 5-10 times its assessed value.
That would be to stop people like the film crew we heard of who borrowed
something, deliberately destroyed it as part of a scene, and them calmly paid
the lender the assessed value. If they're looking at having to pay a _ton_ of
money if they pull that stunt, they're less likely to.

I received this email - they want am IBM AS/400 for a film - it doesn't have to work. They will pay for transportation and rent.
Near Brooklyn NY I think.
Email Bianca below if interested.
