Dear Classics: I just gotta get a Flexowriter. Who has one that will sell it to me? I had one years ago and gave it up in time of crisis. (Yes, I deserve it.) No reasonable asking price refused! Cheers, Dr. Bob

Looking for Norsk Data ND-100 info.

by axelsson＠acc.umu.se

Hi! I'm looking for ND-100 information. A couple of my friends have started to work on a ND-100 emulator and it is progressing fast... fast to a point where we are lacking information about the inner workings of the ND-100 CPU. Specifically we are looking for information on the real time clock interrupt and micro code programming but other information (manuals, schematics or programs) is also interesting. I currently have the following manuals that I'm transforming into pdf:s as time permits. * ND-06.007 BIG MULTIPORT MEMORY SYSTEM * ND-06.014 ND-100 REFERENCE MANUAL * ND-06.016 ND-100 INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM * ND-30.003.06A : SINTRAN III System Supervisor * ND-30.025.02 : COSMOS Operator Guide * ND-30.071.1 EN : ND-5000 Series User Guide * ND-40.004.06 : Norsk Data Documentation Catalogue * ND-40.012.1 EN : Information Pamphlet for Norsk Data Customers * ND-60.014.01 : Page III-1-1 to A-9 (some pages missing) * ND-60.046 TRACE ROUTINE * ND-60.047.03A : NORD PL User's Guide * ND-60.050.06 : SINTRAN III Users Guide * ND-60.066.04 : ND Relocating Loader * ND-60.074.01 : NORD-10 FORTRAN SYSTEM Reference Manual * ND-60.088.03 : ND Screen Handling System * ND-60.096.01 : Page 2-16 to D-3 * ND-60.111.03 : ND TPS User's Guide * ND-60.132.03 : SINTRAN III Timesharing/Batch Guide * ND-60.151.02A : SINTRAN III Utilities Manual * ND-60.158.3 EN : SYMBOLIC DEBUGGER User Guide (2 ex) * ND-60.163.4 EN : COSMOS User Guide * ND-60.196.01 : BRF-LINKER User Manual * ND-60.230.01 : SINTRAN III J-version Release Informaton * ND-60.236.1 EN : ND-100/500 SORT-MERGE User Guide * ND-60.264.1 EN : SINTRAN III User Guide * ND-63.001.02 : Introduction to NOTIS-WP * ND-63.026.02 : NOTIS-CALC Handbok (in Swedish) * ND-63.042.1 EN : NOTIS-WP M Release Information for new users * ND Ring binder with cable diagrams * Am201B/Am2901C Four-Bit Bipolar Microprocessor Slice, AMD. Page 5-1 to 5-18 * PASCAL : Instructions in Swedish for running Pascal on ND-100 If you have anything outside of this list please let me know. I will borrow for scanning, buy or trade anything of interest. The hardware we got access to is a ND-100 satellite, two ND-100 racks with disks and 8 inch floppys in parts and a nonfunctional NORD-10 in a rack. When time permits we will try to get it running. /G?ran

Two more Craters & Freighters happy experiences

by legalize＠xmission.com

I recently had two more items packed and delivered to me by Craters & Freighters. Holy shit, what a difference it makes with that company. A Tektronix 4170 local graphics processor and an Evans & Sutherland PS 390 base unit arrived with no scratches, no falling apart pallets and everything intact. The tally so far: + seller freight packed deskside SGI Onyx + C&F packed lot from dovebid (Tektronix graphics terminals) + C&F packed Megatek graphics terminal + C&F packed E&S PS390 + C&F packed Tektronix 4170 - CTS packed deskside SGI Onyx & Octanes - adcom worldwide packed SGI Octanes, O2s and monitors In the case of CTS/adcom worldwide, the only reason that I used them and not C&F is that there wasn't a C&F that could go to Reading, PA and pick up the stuff from a dovebid auction. C&F may not be the cheapest; to be honest, when C&F service is available I don't even bother to check with other freight shipping service companies. However, what good does it do you to save a few dollars on shipping and have something arrive smashed or cosmetically ruined because of poor packing? I heartily recommend Craters & Freighters for your packing and freight shipping needs. <http://www.cratersandfreighters.com> -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

SS10s and SS20s free for local pickup or $10 + actual ship

by rescue＠hawkmountain.net

I have 3 SS20s and 4 SS10s. Mostly complete. All have one or more processors (ranging from SM41 to SM61), I believe all have RAM, and some have one or more drives. No GFX as these were last used for servers. These are free for pickup in Sharon, MA 02067, or I can bring them with me to work in Cambridge, MA 02140 (on the same road as Alewife T station). If you want one shipped... $10 + actual ship with the $10 to cover the materials/time to pack and haul to PO/FedEx/UPS/etc. If these don't move before that dumpster leaves here (1-2 weeks >from Friday), then I'll pull the CPUs, RAM, and drives, and heave them into the dumpster. The SS20s are all Aurora I chasis. I don't recall any having CD rom drives... one or two fo the might have floppy drives. -- Curt

LED displays (TIL305, TIL308, etc.)

I have a few 9368s if you're desperate; it decodes to hexadecimal (for common cathode displays), whereas the 7446/7/8 displayed those odd symbols (and blank for F of course). m

VT220 Keyboard Error 4?

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

I turned on my VT220 for the first time in nearly a year. The screen says "VT220 Keyboard Error 4", all four green LED's (on the top right of the keyboard) stay lit, and nothing appears on the screen when I type. Disconnecting and reconnecting the coiled-cord between the keyboard and the terminal causes a cursor block to appear on the screen, but the keyboard is still locked and the LEDs stay on. Power-cycling the terminal shows the same error message. However, the boot prompts from the 11/23+ are displayed normally, so the receive part of the terminal at least is working. Where should I start looking, before replacing the keyboard? thanks for any hints -Charles

Unusual media ideas (was RE: Vinyl Data- Classic Computers / Indie music tricks crossover)

by IanK＠vulcan.com

I also recall one of the magazines from the early days championing computer-readable strips printed in the magazine, similar to a UPC code but obviously much longer. Byte? Kilobaud?
