For those who want it (cost of postage + $20 for the 'bribe') : I have about 20 boards from 2 HSC-70's cluster controllers and several floppies which came with them. All the boards together is about 12Kg in weight. Ed -- Certified : VCP 3.x, SCSI 3.x SCSA S10, SCNA S10

JiffyDOS Forensics

by brain＠jbrain.com

Please feel free to repost on other forums, I'm trying to catch as many people as possible: As many of you are probably aware, I acquired a license to sell JiffyDOS earlier this year and am now ramping up sales. To that end, I am trying to reconstruct the exact product offerings that CMD offered. This means verifying images, and determining what original ROM images CMD supplied with each overlay. Thus, if anyone can use a DOS ROM reading utility (or EPROM reader) and can send me a copy of the both halves of the JDOS ROM, I'm still struggling with the following systems. 1571: I have three versions here, but cannot determine which is correct. The MD5s are: 41c6cc528e9515ffd0ed9b180f8467c0, 6b4d46b28b7414d5a82cea4972894600, and d649fa6b0108c20ce213f5496d5980a5. What is the version number on the ROM sticker?) 1571D: I have a 1571D JiffyDOS ROM here, but it looks to be a 1571DCR (the cost reduced version). Notes indicate a non-CR 1571D used a normal 1571 JD ROM overlay, but I'd like to verify that. MSD SD1/SD2: I am trying to determine the version of MSD code in the lower half of the U5 JiffyDOS for SD2. The MD5 is 1a2efac3b96decf83fba27bc17c5a8a7. I checked against my SD2-2.3 version here, but they are different. Also, is the SD1 JiffyDOS the same as SD2 version? Indus GT: I do not have an original JDOS for this, so I need a dump to compare. 1541C: Again, I do not own an original JDOS for this machine. I understand there is a Swedish version of JiffyDOS for the C128 and C128D (and possibly for the C64) [Update: I have been sent copies of the Swedish JiffyDOS ROMs, but I'd still be interested in what version of KERNAL was included as the "original" KERNAL for these units.] German/Finnish JiffyDOS variants? Any help folks can provide would be much appreciated. In fact, if you have an original JDOS, no matter the type and can dump it for me (both the original and the JD portions), that'd be great. Anything you can tell me about the setup - sticker legend (version number, etc.), machine variant (128, 128D, 128DCR, etc.), video standard (PAL/NTSC), and whether it had a switch on the ROM - is good information to share. To clarify, I know there are bootleg archives available, but I can't consider them authoritative. In addition, the archives would not tell me what CMD placed in the non-JD half of the EPROM on units with switches. I would prefer to check against genuine copies of the overlays if at all possible.

updated the Alpha Micro Phun Machine

by spectre＠floodgap.com

Having the day off, I finally uploaded some new pr0n to the Alpha Micro Phun Machine, including pictures of the AM-1000 and AM-1001 I got recently, and the AM-1041 S-100-based system that I'm hoping to restore and get operational in the not-so-distant future (hi Bob!). I also included a download for the fingerproxy, which I'm using to give arbitrary TCP socket access to older AlphaTCP installations. Maybe I'll work on Lynx for the Alpha Micro next ;-) Anyway, http://ampm.floodgap.com/ Running on a real Alpha Micro Eagle 300 since 2007! -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- "My inner geek can beat up your inner geek." -------------------------------

Shipping a Tek 'scope

Cool! I had a similar one, a 543 IIRC, that was the only major piece of tech-junk I lost to hurricane Katrina. I still grin thinking of my complete panic when I looked at one side panel and saw a big orange glow in the tubes next to the power transformer. Got the side off and realized it was a neon filled voltage reference tube, not a glowing plate. Anyway, the things are a treasure trove of interesting tubes. I like the tiny soldered-in (baseless) HV rectifiers, tube regulated B+ system, and the electromechanical time delay "tube" that lets the thing warm up before applying HV. It's interesting to see tube design in "cost not much of an object" mode. I used to have Stan Griffiths' book "Oscilloscopes: Selecting and Restoring a Classic". I don't remember it being particularly technical, but it has tons of info on the Tek tube-era product line, and was fun to thumb through, if you're into that kind of thing. John Finigan

H8 system boards for sale or trade

by jgessling＠yahoo.com

I was considering parting out these boards for the chips and caps but realized that was really dumb. My ttl hobby is based on using parts in my junk boxes or parts paid for by other things in the collection. To that end I am offering these 5 boards and one manual. Three of the five boards have had the bus connector removed, some have a few chips removed. Please look here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jjgessling/ComputerStuff# Please let me know what you think, I can certainly ship. Regards, Jim

VT420s

by wdonzelli＠gmail.com

I am finally testing out the pile of DEC VT420s I recently came into. Here is the deal: These are in decent, but sometimes a little grungy condition. I will test them out, and make sure the video is good, the comm port is good, and the keyboard is good. I will let them sit powered on for 15 minutes as a simple burnin. I will not clean them. They will be packed very nicely. $25.00 plus S&H from 10512. These weigh roughly 20 pounds unpacked. Please reply off list. -- Will

A co-worker here on the help desk had gotten a replacement, because this one wasn't getting phone signal anymore. I started using it so I could be familiar with it; for when users call in to get help with thiers. I would think Ubuntu Linux counts as a (fairly) real computer. Yeah, I know it's not a VAX or Cray... but it is kinda close. And free.

Looking for a Tally 420 tape puncher and a 424 tape reader

by wlsilva＠sbcglobal.net

Looking for a Tally 420 tape puncher and a Tally 424 tape reader, we need these for a restoration project for a Telemetry console that was used in the Titan rocket program. The Tally units that were in the operators console are missing, and we really would like to replace them for proper display. Here is a link to a photo of both units http://www.dvq.com/ads/tally_dm_11_60.jpg Many thanks. Walter Silva
