Very interesting. The cartridges were probably NAB cartridges. See
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidelipac>. I got a pile of these from
a guy who worked at the ABC (Australia), mostly studio-link failure
apology announcements and a few calibration tapes.
The content is usually very interesting on these old cartridges. It'd
be a shame if the radio station just threw them out!

I was wondering if anyone on the list may have contact info for Mr. Volpe
the author of ModemDoctor. I attempted to send in the registration fee for
his service based on the address on his website. The letter was returned
"not deliverable". The site does get occasional updates so he is still
around and apparently still accepting orders.
Thanks

That's great news to hear that the AztecMonster works on QBUS PDP-11s.
I now know exactly what my future plans are...
But I have a "random" question for those here. I know some of the QBUS
(and UNIBUS) SCSI controllers can act both as an MSCP and TMSCP
controller. (CMD CQD-220A/TM for one example.) And I know that several
of the PDP-11 operating systems install from tape, and can install
>from TMSCP tape (hello RSTS/E). What I'd like to know is: Is there
anything out there that can emulate a SCSI tape device on a CF card/SD
card/USB stick/what-have-you?
Best regards,
Christian

I don't know, because I don't know enough about their exact financial state.
But it doesn't matter, for two reasons: First, given that it's for a good
cause, it shouldn't matter; it will help, that's all one needs to know.
Second, even if it weren't for a good cause, "the splitting of the H960 from
its feet" is - or should be - No Big Deal anyway. It's not like the parts are
going to be melted down, or anything; they will just be re-arranged.
So someone who has e.g. a three-bay system, with feet on the two end
cabinets, would probably be quite happy with a fourth bay without feet. And
at the same time, someone who has a one-bay system with no feet would
probably be ecstatic to finally find feet. Everyone's happy, all the parts
are in good homes; where, exactly, is the problem?

If you use an external USB mini keyboard they're decent :)

We know nothing of the business situation. small consulting firms are
notorious for having huge swings in cash flow. It may be that the
business in question really is dying, or they may have a monster sized
check "in the mail" from a client, and the owner just needs some cash
to get over the holiday.
A close relative of mine has a small consulting firm, and she goes
through periods of months with no money coming in, even with clients
owing her six figures in payments. Some clients (governments, mostly)
can take a year to pay!
