Subject: One last epay for the day, TEC terminal
Since some need to possibly use current loop, I was searching and
thought it useful to bring this to people's attention.? The TEC is also
one of the terminals in the video I posted a few days ago related to
"Jobs" if you care to look.? I've used these and at the time the only
problem I had was dropping them on your foot, they are not light.
the vendor says that Bitsavers has the manual, which may make this a bit
attractive as well, saving looking all over the place for
documentation.? The screen doesn't look great, but might be usable w/o a
huge amount of work.
Another thing that ones here may be able to use is that it has the video
output option installed, so one could drive a modern monitor, or
presentation projector in a display situation with this one.
I think the ones we had were a bit fancier, and had a block of
indicators on one side or the other that you could blink, this one does not.

no affiliation, just wish I had room for it, hope someone can use it.
i'll throttle myself for a few days unless I see a random 360/50 or so
for sale so I am not bothering those who don't like these. Apologies in
advance.
thanks

On messftp/uploads/6085_IOP_Firmware.zip
I have been working on trying to get Smalltalk running on it, so I went through and checked
all of my IOP boards for different revs of firmware. There are only two that I found, the later
one added support for >80mb disks.
The 6085 has a 80186 instead of the 8085 in the 8010, and there is much more code running on it
than what was on the 8010.
I have two boxed copies of Text Editor/200 for the HP 200-Series (aka
9826, 9836, 9816, etc.) and I probably don't need two of them, so I
may as well pass one on:

It's so new it's still in the shrink wrap, so I can only go by the
text on the back (second pic link) that it includes both 3.5" and
5.25" disks. The HP Museum site has Teledisk images of the 3.5"s
already, so you may as well leave it in its shrink for display (though
I would like to see the documentation scanned, someday...)

Who wants it for cost of shipping? I'm in the 60070 ZIP.

Congratulations! Fun to find some of the wooden generation of computers. Keep us posted on the restoration efforts (if any) :-)

My read of this is that have all the Sun-1 and DECwriter II and III docs
that matter so I will pass on all this paper to somebody else without
thinking furter about scanning them.
As for the Data Printer Corporation docs, I never expected them to be a
sought after item and I have one candidate so I will send them them there.
I have access to a lot of old Sun and DEC documentation, is there anything
>from those two sources that you are looking for? (Aside from Sun proms
which I do not have.) I have until January 1 to find homes for a lot of
this stuff before it stops being available to me and starts to be
destroyed.

I don't know that Digital ever had a Unibus disk controller for ST412
interface disks, but were there any third party controllers? I'm in
need of disk controllers for PDP-11/40 and think that might be an
option given the availability of reliable MFM disk emulators.

I missed those somehow.. thank you. ?Got a lot to learn with this beast!

It did manage to work briefly yesterday.. it did kind of a

yeah.. not today.

Given the blown fuse I'd suspect a stuck mechanism, so the
motor is stalled
and you're getting overcurrent.? Try turning the
motor by hand to confirm.

If the system is simple it'll be easier to support, 110b is not, given the
number of persons coming in from the other end so slowly. No one barely
has a phone line anymore as it is, most (95%) of the external traffic will
be telnet. If the bbs allows those few of us with phone lines to connect
at 300 to 1200b to get to a handshake and resolve to a simple welcome
screen for hardware testing purposes, that would be a good start. Get that
running see what kind of traffic results, and plan phase ii from there.
I imagine it will be best once this system is up and running that people
call in on Sunday afternoon so visitors to the museum hear the inbound
calls in real time like a sys op would running a bbs from his basement.
