Motorola EXORset

by lynchaj＠yahoo.com

Hi! Does anyone have the schematics for the Motorola EXORset? If so, would you please either make a scan or look something up for me? I would like to know how the MC6840 PTM interfaces with the MC6809 CPU. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Parts bonanza

by snhirsch＠gmail.com

Anyone within driving distance of Windsor, VT might want to get in touch with Brad Thompson at WinCycle: wincycle at wincycle.org They are nominally a computer recycler who handle the usual castoffs, dead notebooks, off-lease PCs, etc, etc. Recently, a local landlord gave them the entire parts inventory of a local manufacturing company who went bankrupt and abandoned it. They made the entire thing available to local hams and hobbyists for free (or a small donation if you really felt guilty). We went down with a couple of storage tubs and filled them to the brim with tubes of unused 74-series and CD-series logic, machine-pin sockets and more resistors and caps than you could even imagine. All of this is pre-surface-mount through-hole componentry. An entire afternoon's picking didn't really make a visible dent - there's that much stuff. I would estimate many hundreds of tubes of chips and sockets and tens of thousands of caps, resistors and other small parts. I would suspect we were looking at > $100,000 worth of components at original cost. When we left, he mentioned that they might do this again next Saturday. At some point, I'm sure they will sell whatever remains to an industrial auctioneer or serious flea-marketer. So if interested, I would suggest moving quickly. Steve --

Shipping a Tek 'scope

by jules.richardson99＠gmail.com

I'm not reading here much at present, not until I eventually get all my collection moved, but I did just get offered a Tek 545A which is languishing in a garage down in Texas, so figured I'd ask about shipping it safely. Weight seems to be 65lbs according to the manual, but I've not poked any shipping companies yet to see how much it'll cost to get it up here to MN - perhaps it'll end up being just too costly on those grounds. Current owner's happy to pack it for me and drop it off to a shipping company (and apparently they have a Craters and Freighters about 5 miles away from them). Obviously styrofoam "poodle poop" is not a good idea - presumably a higher-density material of some kind would be good, and something that's not going to shift around too much. I wondered about some slabs of that styrofoam stuff they use as house insulation, cut to fit, but maybe that's *too* solid and won't absorb any impacts. Oh, and obviously something softer would be needed on an inner layer to protect all the controls at the front of the 'scope... Do people recommend pulling the tubes/valves and packing and shipping separately, or will they likely be OK in-situ? I'd be doing a strip-down of it anyway (it's not run in a couple of decades) - but with over 100 of them it's a lot of work for the current owner, plus I hate getting stuff already-dismantled and prefer making notes as I disassemble it myself. cheers Jules

Compupro and PET/UNITRON/TI etc. systems posted earlier

by dave09＠dunfield.com

Thanks to everyone who responded. I will be preparing a list of the responses received (in the order received) and forward them to the respective people with the systems, and they will take it from there. Sorry if my "contact me for more info" turned out to be misleading, I was hoping to have obtained permission to give out their contact info, however neither has responded yet, and apparently people from the list are getting impatient. At this point the best way for me to handle is to forward the messages I've received to the parties and let them handle it, as I have no further information to give out yet. Please stop sending emails asking if I've received your previous messages, if the systems are still available, or other questions - I know only what I posted.

Will, I think it's the wrong "GR", but an interesting story. From http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/arch/risc/ "Sidenote: Saul Dinman explained in 2003 that GRI was originally General Research Corporation, a private Massachussetts company; when it went public, it had name conflicts with a pre-existing General Research, and then with General Radio as it hunted for a non- conflicting name. Under the name GRI, the company was eventually acquired by venture capitalists in North Carolina, and then by a display manufacturer that wanted to buy their OEM supplier, and finally by Analog Devices. The GRI processor architecture was one of the first bus-oriented architectures built using a printed-circuit backplane. Thousands of GRI-909 systems were sold on an OEM basis, mostly in the industrial control sector. Had marketing and capitalization worked out differently, the GRI-909 might have been an effective competitor for the Data General Nova, another DEC spinoff." So I guess that any remnants of GRI might be in AD's archives...

If you just want to play games or a few old apps you can get by with a simple system, monitor, keyboard, dual 3.5" and dual 5.25". I have a Transwarp IIgs, 8mb RAM card, rev C SCSI card, and I mostly just boot from floppy and play games. All the extras are nice if you use GS/OS and want to transfer images and files around (and read HFS partitions or network with a Mac), but if you have an old Mac you can make usable disks there. You can still find systems on freecycle if you post a wanted, they will most likely be basic setups (teachers seem to snag them for their kids and then get rid of them when the kids get older). ------------------------------ Message: 15 Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:00:38 -0800 From: jim s <jws at jwsss.com> Subject: Re: Walkthrough of a small datacenter 1992 To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Message-ID: <4AFC5B56.9050309 at jwsss.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed rmg at ranma.com wrote: > Just ran across this list.

I have a friend who may have one of the Micom boxes. We used one in our office for terminal access. Also interesting is that one seemed to have to waste paper to keep the systems running.
