I think the Pilot brand TV at the museum may be continuous and yes has chan 1 Ed! In a message dated 1/13/2016 5:54:46 P.M.

In prewar days, it seems that there more than a couple of offerings. Didn't Meissner(they of the "Signal Shifter" VFO) offer a kit TV in the 30s/early 40s? I do remember the continuous tuners, though--two bands--and one could even tune Channel 1. A large number of Heathkit color TVs were built by vets using funding >from the GI bill. Those were Heath's good days... --Chuck

Free (pay shipping) Hp DDS-4 40gb tapes (only have two)

by jrr＠flippers.com

I have two sealed C5718A tapes that are free to the first person to ask for them and pay shipping. I hate to throw out something that may still be useful. Can mail them for $5 (I think) to the USA, or local pickup.

Sun SPARC at iBid State of Illinois auction site again

by jzatar2＠illinois.edu

Hey everyone, I was browsing and I noticed that there's another Sun SPARC posted up: https://ibid.illinois.gov/item.php?id=170591 last time, I think there was one that went for a mere $5. Now of course, you gotta move it or pay to have it moved, but if you're interested, act now and start getting an account on the site. When I got my account, I had to wait a few days before they actually got my account set up. Anyway, given that this is the second time I've seen Sun equipment on the site at the same location, I would venture to guess someone over here in IL government is phasing out their sun stuff, so maybe it's worth checking in the future as well for more stuff if anyone's interested. Regards, Joe

I COULD JUST KICK MYSELF IN THE BUTT!!! commodore pet . . .

by tulsamike3434＠gmail.com

Back in the mid to late 90's I used to go to the Salvation Army store every day before work because I worked night shift and the lady at the counter used to have a crush on me and would set aside all old computer stuff for me. Well one day I went in and I seen her wheeling me out a Commodore PET with the calculator keyboard witch drove me insane trying to program on that lil keyboard lolol. I got it for 10.00 FREAKING BUCKS yes TEN F.R.E.A.K.I.N.G. BUCKKKKKSKSKSKSSKSKS}{PJDGHLGFO GRRRRRRR Sorry about that I almost just broke my keyboard just telling this story lol anyway I played with it and this was just before AOL went from 20.00 for 15 hrs of INTERNET time to 19.99 unlimited net time. I don't know if any of you remember when they switched over to the unlimited monthly plan but as for in Oregon AOL Servers crashed for about 3 months from such a heavy load of members dialing up and connecting quick question here _*<------- Did this happen in your area if so where were you?*_ Anyway back to the commodore PET I snatched that baby up and most of my information I got for older computers back then was the library I used to spend HOURS AND HOURS reading and learning how to program in BASIC I had no idea what all the ports in the back were for I was just happy to have the built-in tape drive. I was programming a " ROCK n ROLL TRIVIA GAME" boy I got in such big trouble because Cd's where the new thing then so I had no blank tapes so I remember I got busted from my mom, She was so mad at me because I use a TAMMY FAY BAKKER from the Jim Bakker PTL show tape in my Commodore PET Computer lol Well just about this time all the "TREE HUGGER'S" Were using the SPOTTED OWL to bring the logging industry to it's knees! so about that time a friend of mine from central America and offered me a job in the Oil industry and I up and left everything behind but I must admit a year before that my Mother bought me my first PC it was a Amega 486 DX66 with 8meg of ram and I was getting very interested in HTML web programming I think my first FREE HOSTING website was on GEOCITYS. ANYway I hate myself for leaving my MINT condition Commodore PET when I moved but I had alot of other life choices to be dealing with at the time...

TDL 8K Z80 Basic..

by holm＠freibergnet.de

Currently I'm fiddeling around with the old 8 Kbyte Z80 Basic Interpreter >from TDL, found an Paper Tape Image here: http://www.classiccmp.org/dunfield/img54306/p/tdlsoft.zip on Dave Dunfields pages. I've used the 12K Version from TDL many years before on my home computer and now we have a project on robotrontechnik.de with an SBC and I've ported the P112 Tiny Basic already to this SBC, now I want to try the 8K TDL Version. ... Has someone still a computer with that 8K TDL Basic in use? In the moment I'm writing a loader that can "autopatch" the relocation Bytes in the TDL HEX file format from the Paper Tapes. Someone used that before? Regards, Holm -- Technik Service u.

DEC PDP-11 software manuals available

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So I have a bunch of DEC PDP-11 software manuals which I don't want (which I got in a lot with some other manuals I did want). They are free to a good home (US media mail free, anything else we'll have to work out). They are: RT-11 Documentation Directory (AA-5285D-TC, March '79) RT-11 System Release Notes (AA-5286B-TC, March '78) RT-11 System Generation Manual (AA-5283B-TC, March '78) Introduction to RT-11 (DEC-11-ORITA-A-D, August '77) RMS-11 Installation Guide (AA-H235A-TC, June '79) RMS-11 User's Guide (AA-D538A-TC, March '79) RMS-11 MACRO-11 Reference Manual (AA-H683A-TC, March '79) Also, before I send them off, should I scan any/all of them (I'm too lazy to look to see if they already available online :-)?

Front Panels - Update

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi Guys I just had an email with some pictures of the panels in. The panels are great but the pictures not. Because you need lots of light to see what you are doing. They have several skylights and the light is all wrong for phone cameras They are adding the final details : A and B customisation and the second white line round the lock area. The front is now matt black. I'm changing to professional packaging as green tape and cardboard works but is not that pretty. So we expect to start shipping when the new packaging arrives. PDP-8/f and /m are waiting to be screen printed next. PDP-11/XX are being drawn now and I'm going to try and have at least a few boards ready with the common features before taking orders. Rod

Colour composite video for the BBC micro

by terry＠webweavers.co.nz

Sometimes capability is already built in but not widely known or publicized. Sometimes all it needs is a jumper! http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2016-01-12-composite-video-for-bbc… Terry (Tez)
