Does anyone know what a sparcstation IPC is? Is it worth $175.00? (It had four out of 8 SIMM slots on the right (looking from the back) filled in, and another four/4 on the left, and no hard drive.) Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn(a)crl.com that none but madmen know."

Oh! Another idea! I can make images now!

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

Murrel has a device card which interfaces a PC to a Pertec-formatted drive - that means I can image tapes now! I GOTTA try this out!

PDP-11/44 Frontpanel?

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

While talking to the local DEC guy (Mark Sherman, sells me all kindsa crap.) he mentioned that he recalled the 11/44 has 2 frontpanel options. One was the minimal panel I got, and the other was a calculator type panel. The interesting part was that the calculator frontpanel was detachable, so techs you get one to use with a machine ordered with the minimal panel. Is that true? Could I track one of these down anywhere? Or is this a simple thing to build? (I am dialed in at about 2400 baud. This is NOT fun... never saw how much Pine wants to refresh the screen until you have to wait about 1/2 sec for it to do so! I think from now on I'll use the command-line mailer...)

Anyone for 9-track-tape drives?

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

I have 3, and that's 1 more than I plan to keep (I think) 2 Cipher 6250s, and a 1550 (I think, it's the smaller version of a 6250). Anyone need one or two (Depending on which one's a TM02 or can become one or will at least boot the diag tapes I have. They're really heavy. And I have no real place to put them.

I picked up a Mac Portable today, but it had no power supply. Anyone know of an (affordable) source to get one?

Mac Portable

by kaikal＠MICROSOFT.com

The battery charger is just 9VDC, but I hope you have a functional battery, since the Mac Portable will not run on the battery charger. There is no AC adapter. The batteries are lead-acid and tend to deteriorate over time. Eventually all of these machines will stop working. > -----Original Message----- > From: Uncle Roger [SMTP:sinasohn@crl.com] > Sent: Friday, October 10, 1997 4:14 PM > To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers > Subject: Mac Portable > > I picked up a Mac Portable today, but it had no power supply.
