Ethan,
I saw in a very old post of yours that you have a couple of A2065
around.
I am interested in obtaining one (if they are still available) to use
for my A1000.
If not let me know if you know where I can source one.
Alexander

If anyone is interested in building their own home brew computer they are
welcome to join us on the N8VEM project. There is a known working Z80 CP/M
home brew computer with all hardware and software information published and
freely available. PCBs are available for the SBC, an ECB backplane, and the
recently verified working ECB bus monitor (sort of a Jade Bus Probe for
ECB). There are some builder created videos of the ECB bus monitor in
action here:
http://www.hd64180-ecb.de/html/video.html
Soon I will be having a Prototype board PCB manufactured and hopefully not
too long after that I will be making a Disk IO board PCB available as well.
There are numerous N8VEM builder projects in various states of completion
ranging from the GIDE, LCD displays, SD reader/writers, wireless links,
NVRAM, and various other things better described by the builders.
If you are interested in building your own home brew computer please
consider joining the N8VEM project. Thank you and have a nice day!

I have a 4951A, 4951B and 4952C. I have some software on TU-58-like
tapes (for the 4951A ad 4951B), but no idea if a TU58 can be used to
archive them. I have no 4952 software, but would love to have the terminal
emulator package for it.
I won't have access to my HP serial analyzers until December, but if it's
possible to back up what I have, I think it should be saved and/or shared.
If anyone knows how to generate 4952C diskettes, I'd love to hear about it.
My understanding is that you can back up original software with the real
hardware, but there's some form of simplistic DRM that prevents "sharing"
application disks.

A friend of mine put in the dumpster before it goes and old
Unisys tower. It is just a chassis. A big 'monster' for what appears
to be an ATXish chassis. It has a huge power supply... with
3 connectors similar to ATX but in various sizes.
It has 8 removable wide scsi trays and at the top had 3 or 5
5.25" bays and 1 3.5" floppy drive.
The P/N within the front drive bay door is 91.58701.029
and the trays are 55.59903.031.
I don't know what this is ? tried identifying it online, but no luck.
Wonder if this could have been a 6x6 ? (in which case too bad
the person he bought the case from gutted it) (he was going to
use it for a PC case, but the huge power supply with custom
wiring shelved the project for several years and now you can have
a storage powerhouse in a smaller than regular ATX tower... so
the behemoth went to the dumpster).
If anyone can use these trays or power supply (or any other part
>from the chassis (front plastic, etc)... let me know... figure $5 for
4 drive trays, $5 for the power supply... not sure what else anyone
could use off it... (front plastic is good except for where someone
tried to paint/etc over the Unisys logo).

Al, do you still have those HP4852A disk images? - I have a 4952 and 4957
I'm searching for utilities and other software for. I'd be really grateful
if you could help.

This page is still there:
http://imsai.net/products/MDE.htm
If you click on the picture of Todd with the dollhouse (at the top
of the main page) it takes you to another page that has navigation
links to a bunch of other stuff. I don't know if this is just atrocious
website design, or an incomplete attempt to take down the other pages.
