Dan and I did a rescue run yesterday and came back with four Data General systems; a Nova/3, a Nova/4, an Eclipse S/20, an Eclipse MV/4000, and a large assortment of test equipment and spares. All of the systems are in very nice condition. The Eclipse S/20 is mounted in a cabinet with a model 6125 1/2" tape drive and a fixed disk drive. In the next week or so I will add them to the RICM WWW page. -- Michael Thompson

Expander Model 1

by vintagecomputer＠bettercomputing.net

Curious about this machine. ?I've seen a few come up on ebay and they've sold for not much money, mistaken as mere Apple II clones. ?I read Lee Felsenstein's account of creating them and they seem like interesting machines. ?Wondering what sort of value is reasonable to pay for one and how hard it would be to find or rig up a power supply, since they are usually missing that in auctions.

Regarding the previous message, all email will be obfuscated to foil scrapers.

Regrading the previous message, the map would just show the city, not your actually home address, which I do not have, but to be honest, anyone could find it using the internet.

Announcing: VCF Midwest 12!

by vintagecomputer＠bettercomputing.net

Very cool! ?Wish we had one of these up here in Vancouver, BC. Sent from my Samsung device -------- Original message -------- From: Jason T via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Date: 2017-05-20 6:05 PM (GMT-08:00) To: chiclassiccomp at yahoogroups.com, "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org>, The Rescue List <rescue at sunhelp.org> Subject: Announcing: VCF Midwest 12! We did this nerd-fest thing at this hotel last year and no one complained (much), least of all the hotel, so I think we're up for another go. The TWELFTH edition of the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is happening September 9th and 10th, 2017 in lovely Elk Grove Village, Illinois, mere minutes from O'Hare International Airport and an array suburban shopping and dining opportunities. Those who have joined us in the past will be happy to know that we're running the same show (and more!) this year: same location, same hours, still free to attend, show or sell.? If you're new to VCF Midwest, you can find all the relevant details at http://vcfmw.org. If you have any questions not answered there, feel free to contact me directly. Registration: No registration is necessary to attend the show. If you would like a table(s) for exhibition and/or vending, please contact us via the form on our site at: http://vcfmw.org/signup.html.? We'll do our best to get you the space you need. Presentation: If you would like to volunteer a talk or demo between 30-60 minutes, please contact us via the form http://vcfmw.org/pres.html.? Our friendly events coordinator will get back to you soon. Accommodation: Hotel registration is now open!? Follow the link here http://bit.ly/2phDUyI or at vcfmw.org and reserve your room at our reduced rate of $89/night. The nights of the 8th, 9th and 10th are available, with either a single King bed or a dual Queen room. If you're staying additional nights, they will probably have to be booked separately at the regular rate - however it's worth calling the hotel directly at (847) 437-6010 and asking them for the "Vintage Computer Fes" (yes without the "t") or "VIN" rate on the extra nights. No guarantees they'll extend it but it's worth a try.? If you have any other booking needs or difficulties, please call that number as well. Do not call the main toll-free line for Holiday Inn/IHG. They don't have the rate code and won't be able to help you. Hesitation: Why wait?? Book your room and travel and mark your calendars TODAY. Socialization: For Facebook users, there's a FB event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/805945506224113/ For the tweeting kind, you may follow us at: https://twitter.com/vcfmidwest Does anyone use Google+ any more?? We have a page here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/102061024739945029100/102061024739945029100 Donation: VCF Midwest is a community-supported event, made possible through the generous donations of attendees, vendors and the organizing staff.? As such, we humbly beg for your contribution toward the show's expenses, payable via the PayPal or GoFundMe links on our main page.? Every donation helps and we appreciate them all. See you in September! -j

BBS software for the PDP 11

by mark＠matlockfamily.com

As for power, if you have a wife and/or kids, a PDP-11's power > consumption is not even above the noise floor in your electric bill. > (Unless your trying to do it with RA disks!!) > > bill Out of curiosity how much power do these wee beasties consume? ___________________________________ The plate on the back of my 11/93 says 345 Watts. That's about a fifth what your wifes hair dryer draws. Or slightly more than 3 100 watt light bulbs (which your kids leave on all over the house all the time!!) bill I run a similar PDP-11/83 system 24/7 on a BA23 in a Pedestal stand. It has two 2MB memory boards, an Emulex UC07 connected to two SCSI2SD Cards emulating two RD54s and two RA92s, and a DELQA-T running RSX11M+, DECnet and Johnny Billquist;s TCP/IP and it draws 100-105 watts on my UPS. I also run a Simh PDP-11 on a Raspberry Pi 3 as an adjacent node and it is much faster, much quieter, but not quite as much fun. Mark Matlock

Unless somehow the discussion of CFL bulbs revolves around front panel light replacement.... this thread needs to die. J
