I slight curiosity I've hit upon, and was wondering if anyone might have the docs on this board at hand to help sort it out. I've got a couple of Godbout 'Econorom' 2708 boards, which from the legend and markings on the board seem to imply that it is intended to be used with 2708 Eproms. The oddity becomes, I've got one that is full of 2732 Eproms (it came that way). And of course, if I've got the docs on it they are buried in the warehouse somewhere... (sigh) So, I'm wondering if this board is actually configurable for different Eproms, and if so, does anyone have the specs at hand? (ideally, I'd like to know how to configure it for 2716 Eproms) Thanks! -jim --- jimw(a)agora.rdrop.com The Computer Garage - http://www.rdrop.com/~jimw Computer Garage Fax - (503) 646-0174

Info needed on Godbout Econorom 2708

by kaikal＠MICROSOFT.com

I'm pretty sure I have those docs, let me check tonight. I know for sure I have the docs for the CompuPro labeled one, which may or may not be a later version. I've been entering all my docs in a database the past few days, and I'm about 2/3 done. Already at 350+! I'm finding all sorts of interesting tidbits stuck into the binders, such as the original brochure for the IMSAI, copies of Ohio Scientific's magazine/newsletter, etc. Kai -----Original Message----- From: James Willing [mailto:jimw@agora.rdrop.com] Sent: Monday, October 05, 1998 9:23 AM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Info needed on Godbout Econorom 2708 I slight curiosity I've hit upon, and was wondering if anyone might have the docs on this board at hand to help sort it out.

Fyi: the hack would be significant as 2708 was a three volage part! Or it could simple be filled with 2732s for no good reason. Allison

PDP-9

by allisonp＠world.std.com

< >> By my faulty memory, the actual computer is about 2.5'W x 1'H x 2.5L < >> Warning, they are HEAVY! The PDP-8I was about that size and that was a year or two later than the -9. The -9 has to be bigger. < You sure about that?? We had a PDP-9 running some Radio station Automat < equipment and the actual PDP unit was that one 'silver' box in the pictu < Our other racks were the tape players and interface boards. Everyone thought the 8I was 13" high(size of front pannel) but the box/backplane was nearly three times that. Anyhow the size of front pannels are often deceptive. Allison

Back / VCF / SUN

by franke＠sbs.de

Servus, back home, and back to the list. Thanks to all for VCF 2.0. It was just fun. And Sam, maybe you should offer another T-shirt next year for the 'day after': I survived VCF 3.0 (but my wallet didn't survive the flea market) :)) And the worst of all - my wish list is expanding: I've seen some real neat things out there (Teachers PET, SWTP 6800, Black Apple ][, Timex Coco's ...), and of coure now I need any material from / for 'The Digital Group' computers (Hi Chuck). And, And, And ... -------------------- And now something of topic: I need some help for_actual_ SUN HW. We have (want) to order a Desktop unit, but I have no idea, so I need independent info (not form a sales man trying to sell his leftovers). If anyone is into the matter, pls. send me an e-mail for further info. I would apreciate any help. Servus Hans -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK

Any *really* homebrewing going on?

by cmcmanis＠freegate.com

Yup, I bought 10 decks. I'm taking them to a conference too see if I can generate some clever lads into a new card game or two... --Chuck (Who only ever found Bridge to be an interesting card game) At 09:15 PM 10/4/98 -0700, you wrote: >On Sun, 4 Oct 1998, Doug Yowza wrote: > >> If it was on the same table as the Digital Group Z80, then that was Hal >> Layer's table (although it was Chuck McManis' Z80). > >I still don't know what computer we are talking about. > >Did anyone actual check out Hal's Z-Byte cards?

Decomposing Books (was: Re: Books for DEC-heads)

by jfoust＠threedee.com

The discussions of Xeroxing and de-acidifying are interesting, but I'd like to hear any experiences of preserving documents by electronic means - scanning, OCRing, and tools for doing that, problems encountered, workable means of viewing and reprinting, etc. The guys at <http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~itda/frames.html> have made an admirable effort. They've converted a number of documents to Adobe PDF format. They're waiting on permission from DEC to post some old docs - wasn't there a mention on this list recently >from someone who received permission to redistribute old docs? - John

The 'Geek' deifned?

by jimw＠agora.rdrop.com

Appearing quite stylish at work this week in my 'Geek' t-shirt from the VCF, someone approached with a somewhat unexpected question: "So, what does 'Geek' mean anyway?" Ummmm.... (nervous pause)... G enuinely E nthuastic E lectronics K eeper (best I could come up with on short notice) Any other 'takes' on a definition for this?
