Any interest in a Tek 4113 terminal (minus display)? I have one collecting dust here and would like to trade for older Tek restoration help / other pdp11 stuff. The keyboard is damaged but otherwise it's just old and dirty, haven't opened it up. Located in western Pennsylvania. thx jake

SMUFDDV4@1104

by bill.gunshannon＠hotmail.com

I asked this in the GOTEK thread but I think it got lost in the chatter. Does any of this apply to the equivalent devices with the board labeled SMUFDDV4 at 1104? I have a few of them and would love to make them work with non-PCs as well. bill

Info needed: CMI 1600, CDC Omega/480, IPL Systems, Olivetti 5300

by johannesthelen＠hotmail.com

Anyone familiar with these PCMs? I got a CMI 1640 and little help needed. Here's photos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1w74AYe6lRSn9gJhyKVlBYAq5zRDWybSw?us… What this 370 clone is exactly? If I have understood right, Steven Ippolito's IPL Systems Inc developed the original machine and CMI (Cambridge Memories Inc) made them. Also these sold as Omega/480 and Olivetti 5300 series. Later CMI made their own versions and I believe this one of those. But I haven't found model 1640. So is this 1641..? What is difference between CMI and others? Microcode? I got belong with the machine a couple manuals, Maintenance and Theory of Operation. Unfortunately original microcode disk is missing (and 8" drive...), so that would be needed if I ever want to fire this thing up. Any ideas where I could find a one? All ideas & info are welcome! - Johannes Thelen johannesthelen at gmail.com Finland Before microcomputers blog (Finnish) http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/

Info, spice model parameters for DEC pulse transformers?

by josephoswald＠gmail.com

I'm trying to model the PDP-1 DEC system models, first with SPICE (ngspice on Linux), then with VHDL. I'm struggling to understand the properties of various transformers in the system module circuits, most importantly (at least, the ones I see in schematics I want to model) 2 winding T2003 (used in the 1304 delay, 1410 pulse generator, 1540 sense amp, 1607 pulse amplifier) 2 winding T2026 (used in the 1410) 4 winding T2029 (used in the 1201 flip-flop) 3 winding T2033 (used in 1204 flip-flop) 2 winding T2048 (used in the 1607 pulse amplifier, but the maintenance manual suggests this might be substituted with a T2010?) The maintenance manual also suggests uses for T2006, T2012, T2017, T2018, T2019, T2020, T2021, T2023, T2024 are used in modules I don't have schematics for yet. Is there any source for information about these? Basic specs? I don't even know what the turns ratios are for these parts, much less plausible inductances, so my spice models misbehave pretty badly. I've also posted a question on Reddit about this https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/8zsyuq/reverse_engineering… --Joe

360 Technologies selloff

by aek＠bitsavers.org

360 Technologies is (was) and old HP reseller. I just tried buying a 9145 from them, and didn't hear anything back. Called them, and they are in the middle of selling off what they haven't scrapped. Mike is going to let me know more of what will be available and by whom next week.
