The photos are of a board I recently obtained for my collection. I've not,
to date, been able to discover who the manufacturers were. It almost
certainly US, The chips are week 27 of 1970, NAND gates.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks,
peter

Many thanks to all for the detective work. The page 3-34 mentioned is in a
Lawrence Livermore course manual on Fundamentals of Digital Sytems Training.
I love you all and will try to test you again soon.

Here's what I'd like to do. I have both a teletype 33 and 35. What would be
fun is the foot in the pedestal a emulator that lets me pretend I am
logging into a 2000 or 2100 and I can do basic and save files. One of those
files being what I think was called to Star Wars or something like that.
Basically replay my youth on a 35 which I had access to before 33.
Apollo motherboard dated 1988 013034
Apollo 008231 memory board
Apollo 0121173-001 with daughter board high res color display board
Tektronix 46UTXGC1006 3 button mouse, Logictech # is 119-18098-00
Can ship or drop off at VCRMW.
I'm starting to get organized!!!
Thanks, Paul

If you want a small, portable, battery-powered terminal, get an HPLX palmtop (95, 100 or 200). Runs for weeks or months on two AA batteries. The HPLX palmtops have a VT100 emulation. I have not had a need to use it, but Tony has and perhaps can comment on its fidelity to the real thing.

Brian,
thank you very much for the scans. The scan is very nice and the document
looks very interesting.
I would like to make some experiments to learn how the system works, but
first I have to obtain the missing keyboard for my HP 700 terminal.
Just replaced the line filter capacitors to avoid the
WIMA-RIFA-sound-n-smell (TM).
I have also read out the EPROMs with the operating system and sent them to
bitsavers if they want to archive them.

Yes, it's available worldwide. I backed the kickstarter in January and
got mine in July. I think they have now caught up with the backlog and
are available at retail. I still have not received my peripherals yet,
though -- nobody has. But the company is doing OK and discussing a 2nd
model.
They plan to update Android but so far there's only been one update.
It's currently on Android 7.1. I'm hoping for 8 with Project Treble.
The retro angle is that it's a licensed successor model to the
late-1990s Psion Series 5 and 5MX. It has the same keyboard, licensed
>from Psion. The modern machine is thinner and does not have a
removable battery (sadly).
It also runs Debian Linux and Jolla Sailfish.

The Beehive ATL-008 might be an obscure terminal today, but it holds a special place in my heart as the first hardware terminal I used extensively, and was advanced (for 1982), supporting user programming in C. It's an advanced ANSI/VT102 terminal.
It was based on the 68008 and had quite the nice interface, and extensions like soft keys.
There is a TerminalWiki entry at https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Beehive_ATL-008 and Bitsavers has the manuals at http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/beehive/.
A somewhat defining feature of this terminal was that the cursor control keys was on left hand side of the keyboard, which many found better optimized for data entry tasks.
The Beehive 3270 terminal was also quite advanced.
I was wondering if anyone might have one of these terminals - or at least the ROM from one, so it might be possible to pursue emulation?
Is there anyone who is into rescuing and preserving the firmware from the terminals of the past?

Trying to restore an Alpha Micro ColdFire-based system, and it's missing
its cache SIMM. It works without it, but it sure would be nice. AM doesn't
have much info on it but it appears to be a 72-pin 64KB SIMM (unknown
speed), same keying as 72-pin RAM SIMMs.
I doubt this is a custom part and ISTR that PCs of around that time used
something similar. If you've got something like this mouldering in your
parts drawer, please advise. Thanks!
