Hi Group: Anyone have info on what looks to be an async serial board, the Emulex CC02? It's a Q bus card, quad height, 2x 40 (50? it's not in front of me) pin IDC headers. I tried various search engines but no luck. Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi(a)sfu.ca

Computers in the movies...

by rax＠warbaby.com

Y'all probably know about this site from the U of M's Charles Babbage Institute's Center for the History of Computing, but it's new to me so I thought I'd pass it along. It's a listing of movies which feature computers: http://www.cbi.umn.edu/movies.htm R. -- Warbaby The WebSite. The Domain.

Monitors

by lwalker＠mail.interlog.com

Well this seems to be my time for monitors. I just picked up a Taxan Multi Vision 770 Plus for $1.00 and an Atari Hi-res SM124 for $5. Last week I got a NEC Multisync JC1401P3A and Compaq VGA mono curbside, and acquired a Mac+ adapter for an earlier find, a Radius 15RAM1 Full page Display. Both Multisyncs have analogue<> TTL and mono-color switches and the Taxan has an overscan switch as well as a bunch of other controls. My main monitors have been a Nec Multi 2A for most of my VGA machines and a Commodore 1802 for my 8bits, not to mention my trusty Atari monitors with the bloody 13 pin connectors. I feel innundated :^)) Unfortunately I know little about monitors. Is there a good source for info on older monitors on the net or a newsgroup FAQ ? Is there a definitive textbook ? I have one, "PC&PS/2 Video Systems" by Richard Wilton but it deals mainly with software programming issues. BTW there was also 6 DEC Rainbow A and A+ in the same thrift for $1 each. No K-B or Monitors. I debated it with myself but have a RB 100B and a spare 100A and I'm already at minimal space, so I passed. They also had 2 Epson Equity's which I know ziltch about. ciao larry lwalker(a)interlog.com

Wanted: APF Imagination Machine

by lgreenf＠nausicaa.net

Hi! I used a search engine and it pointed me to this email address. I have no idea if this is a person or a listserv, but I've been trying for a long time to find an old (circa 1980) "APF Imagination Machine". I'm NOT a collector, but am looking only for this machine because it was the first computer I ever owned. If you know of anyone who has one that might be willing to sell it, or see one for sale anywhere, PLEASE let me know! Thanks! Larry Greenfield Email: lgreenfi(a)nyx.net

Burroughs 205

Just for reference, the Burroughs machines were very popular with the TV and Movie industry as props due to the large number of lights on the panels. A number of the Burroughs 205 programmers consoles can be seen on the show "Lost In Space" as the flight consoles on the bridge of the "Jupiter 2" spaceship A fan group of this show called "Alpha Control" (found at www.alphacontrol.com) does have some 'extra' panels for sale as memoribelia (can't spell that) of the show for only $7500US. So... it becomes a matter of just how much you really want one... B^} -jim --- jimw(a)agora.rdrop.com The Computer Garage - http://www.rdrop.com/~jimw Computer Garage Fax - (503) 646-0174

Vint. Comp. Ann. / WANG WLTC First laptop w/ printer?

by roblwill＠usaor.net

I didn't think it was the first. I have a Tandy Model 600, from 1985, and I *had* a model 100. I think I also have the first (correct me if I'm wrong) laptop with a printer. The Wang LapTop Computer (WLTC). It weighs about 16-20 lb., not including the external SCSI 5.25" 360K floppy (there's no internal disk drive), which weighs at least an extra 15 lb.. These things were definitely NOT for the light traveler. I think the WLTC came out in '84 or '85 (not sure). Mine is date Dec. 24, '86. I think it runs on a PASCAL-based operating system, with an MS-DOS emulator. Mine is "fully loaded", with a 10 MB "Winchester Disk" (hard drive), 1 meg RAM (alot for then), a modem (not sure what speed. if any one knows, let me know), and an RS-232 serial port. The battery even holds a bit of a charge) I have another WLTC - w/ 10 MB Winchester Disk, 512k RAM, and the RS-232 serial port. If anyone is interested in it, make me an offer. All of the parts are good, but the power supply. There is a blown capacitor in it - easy fix. It also does not have an external AC-DC adapter. I'm currently using a Tyco racing pack on the one that works. I also don't have a battery, but can give plans to build one. Make me an offer + shipping. -- -Jason (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#-1730318 ---------- > From: Doug Yowza <yowza(a)yowza.com> > To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> > Subject: Re: Vintage Computer Festival Announcement > Date: Tuesday, August 04, 1998 11:47 PM > > The T1100 was Toshiba's first laptop, not *the* first laptop.
