I have a couple of power supplies, condition unknown, that I believe are for some early Zenith Data Systems machine. There is some slight marking on them saying "ZDS 234-999" and that's it. The connector is the molex-type and not your typical PC type PS connector. Are these worth anything to anybody? Or should I just scrap 'em out? -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.

Fwd: [CPLUG] OT: Free: Computer Automation I100 UNIX terminal

by rtellason＠verizon.net

This guy is local to me and I know where he is, he mentions Tuesday as being his deadline, but if there's some interest I can probably get a hold of it and deal with it from there. I would be willing to pack and ship if somebody wants it enough to cover my expenses "and a bit". Feel free to contact me offlist. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [CPLUG] OT: Free: Computer Automation I100 UNIX terminal Date: Sunday 28 September 2008 12:46 From: Chris Moates <six at mox.net> To: cplug at cplug.net I've got this UNIX terminal lying around, which is going to the big computer graveyard in the sky unless someone wants it.

The Crossbar System That Controlled MIT Trains

by mc＠media.mit.edu

Message: 26 Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:47:21 +0000 From: shumaker at att.net Subject: Re: The Crossbar System That Controlled MIT Trains To: "General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only" <cctech at classiccmp.org> Message-ID: <092620081147.20383.48DCCBC900066D2000004F9F22243429029B0A02D29B9B0EBF9D0A050E039A089C at att.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Is it modular enough to be shippable? Have any of the more significant model railroad clubs - especially those with a historical focus been contacted? (The one in Sacramento CA comes to mind: www.smrhs.com) s shumaker I don't remember it being modular enough for shipping by UPS. Just to give you a sense of scale... The train control system measures approximately 8'w x 6'h x 1'd. and weighs at least one or two hundred pounds. My estimates are all from memory, but I have absolutely no doubt that it would have to be shipped by truck unless it was disassembled (that would mean, sadly, cutting wires). It would fit in a big cargo van or a small U-Haul. Someone with lots of space in their basement (not already taken up by trains) and a passion both for telephone technology and trains is the best candidate. --Tim

OT? HPCC mini-conference photos

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

The reason this is OT-ish is that HPCC is not a classic computer organisation. But at the mini-conference each year it's become something of a tradition for yours truely to dismantle some strange piece of HP computer hardware, almost always over 10 years old Anyway, there are some pictures of this year's event on http://www.voidware.com/ In case any of you care what I look like, I'm the 'high mass hobbyist' in some of the pictures. In particular in the first picture (also on the homepage IIRC) I'm the person holding up a length of paper tape. Other photos are probably of more interest. This year I dismantled an HP2748A paper tape reader. There are some pictures of the chassis and at least 2 of the PCBs. Also a picture of some of my classic HPs, including a 9830 which I used to demonstrate the reader. The laptop thing is an HP PortablePlus. You see I needed to show the program listings and program output to the audience and the HP9830 display is not ideal for this. So I stuck the 11205 serial interface module in and linked that to the PortablePlus running a terminal emulator. Now I have the somewhat rare compositie video output module for the PortablePlus, the output of that I pluggged into a borrowed, modern, video projector. -tony
