Group Buy Closed! Thanks for participating...

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

I would like to extend a warm 'thanks!' to all of you who participated in the Teledisk Pro group buy. We've sold all our available shares. Sydex said that we definitely had to limit it to 50 people, tops, and that we've now got. I would also like to thank our list moderator (cripes, I don't even know who it is nowadays...) for allowing me to coordinate this effort on CLASSICCMP. Now the real work starts... getting the paperwork done! ;-) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio:(WD6EOS) E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com SysOp: The Dragon's Cave (Fido 1:343/272, 253-639-9905) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.

When did VC show up on IBM big iron?

by cube＠msn.fullfeed.com

Well, that depends. PanValet (by Pansophic systems, originally) had version _tracking_ by line number, and you could have multiple libraries, and migrate things between them. There were similar competitive systems. Wisconsin DOT had PanValet when I arrived there in 1975. Amdahl UTS was Unix, complete with version control I imagine. Seems to me this was around about 1980. Hope that helps.

No, you got into it for the groupies and the fame. ;-) Or maybe you got into it because you saw highly under-appreciated old computers selling for next to nothing, which is another way of saying that you're wise and anticipated a market that hadn't reached its full potential. - John

Lucky Day II

by fauradon＠pclink.com

The model number for the Monitor is 4863 (with my luck it's probably the most common one). No light pen or HD (that's where the "pretty much" comes in). I have't inventoried the software box yet but I've noticed the BASIC, DOS 2.10, IBM Writting assistant and Print shop. I'm not sure when I'll get around to setting it up.

Even More Stuff available

by adavie＠mad.scientist.com

Whilst aware that I'm breaching netiquette by copying personal email, I think in this situation that Chris won't mind, as he's trying to sell these items. I can't afford the prices he's asking (I'm not saying they're BAD prices, nor am I saying they're GOOD. I just can't afford 'em), and felt that rather than waste the time of both of us by attempting to significantly haggle-down, I'd let everyone have-at him. Top part is his response to my letter in response to his newsgroup ad. --- A guy said 10 days ago he would send $200 (plus shipping) for the Unix docs, which I accepted, but I haven't seen the check yet so maybe it will be available again. The vic20 had a price. I would like $250 for a stack of pdp11 hardware fisch. $70 for a folding fisch reader. How about $100 for H-11 doc 3-ring binders, and $140 for the paper tape media software. This is unused, partly sealed. $80 each for a couple rk05 packs containing rsx11m, rt11, ? What do you think? Rebate if you convert my 9-track unix tar tapes to CD or TR-3 tape (windoz). Also, you can then keep the 9-tracks, contents are probably interesting to you. 310-393-5525 ---------- From: Andrew Davie <adavie(a)mad.scientist.com> To: c-bristol(a)usa.net Subject: Re: ANTIQUE TV's & RADIO, etc. in L.A.,CA Date: Saturday, February 27, 1999 8:11 PM Hi I'm a classic computer collector, very interested in your Heathkit items, and also the RT-11 docs. I have just aquired a PDP 11/23 PLUS, and would love any documentation for that, too. You don't list prices for these items - if it helps, I offer a good home :) Please let me know if these items are still available, and I'll try and make a swift and easy transaction - if the price is right!

Parsys Ltd T9000 SuperCluster documentation & software

>Err... The crosspoint switch is the C004. The C012 is related to the >C011, and is a transputer link adapter to a normal computer bus. It's a >bit like a UART for transputer links (and the normal computer side looks >awfully similar to a DEC DL11 ;-)). Oops, boy is my face red :-) I meant it used the one specific to the T9000 which I don't remember off the top of my head. I guess I will have to look it up to get further info (is may be the C104 or such). Ram

Last call, Teledisk Pro group buy

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

This is the last call for folks interested in pooling resources to get a copy of Teledisk Pro. So far, counting myself, we've got nine people in on it. This dropped the per-person price down to around $17.00 each (shipping included). Sydex was willing to go along with the group buy on two conditions: First, that there be one central point of contact (a person) that they can encode the copy to; And second, that this same person be POC for all tech support questions. I have volunteered to be this POC. Given that the license would be for up to 25 users, we have sixteen slots left. In the event we actually do get 25 people interested, it will drop the per-person price down to around $6.00. For those that may not know, Teledisk is a marvelously handy utility that will read any floppy format that can be read using PC-based hardware, including PCs equipped with such hardware as the well-known 'CompatiCard,' and turn the data on said floppy into a single image file that can be archived or sent to anyone else. Once sent, anyone with similar hardware can reconstruct an exact image of the original floppy using a freely redistributable extractor program. As one might imagine, this has a lot of possibilities for preserving old boot and application floppies for such things as KayPro's, Commodores, Apples, DEC hardware, and God only knows how many other pieces of gear that used floppies. The image files can be easily stored on long-lived media, such as CD-R discs, and recreated at will. Again, the only limitation is that a PC's floppy drive be able to, at the hardware level, read the original diskette. The current version runs under DOS, or under a DOS window in W95 or NT Workstation. One caveat: Since it is possible that the program makes direct hardware calls to the floppy drive, it may not perform as it should under NT, thanks to NT's security features. Other than that, I know of no problems. Will anyone else who may be interested in getting in on the group buy please drop me a PRIVATE E-mail, so we don't end up cluttering the list? Thanks in advance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio:(WD6EOS) E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com SysOp: The Dragon's Cave (Fido 1:343/272, 253-639-9905) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.
