Cromenco Z2 power supply (or equivalent)

by mhstein＠canada.com

Hi Sergio: I've got one too, from a Z-2 I scrapped some time ago, but unfortunately I'm in Canada, so shipping would be just as problematic as for Joe in FL. I assume you need the whole back panel (31x43x13 cm,10kg) since all the parts are discrete and mounted on it. If you want to construct one, maybe it would be practical to send you the parts, especially the transformer; the diodes and caps (130,000 and 29,000 mf, x2) you could probably obtain there. Voltages are +/-18V and +8V (No -8V), but I can't find any mention of the current rating (but it's adequate for light arc-welding, I'm sure). If you like, I can scan and e-mail you the schematic. By the way, congratulations on your countryman winning the Hungarian GP and setting several new records in the process; quite an achievement! mike -----------------------Original message---------------------- Message: 9 Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 18:40:46 To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org From: Joe <rigdonj(a)cfl.rr.com> Subject: Re: Cromenco Z2 power supply (or equivalent) Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Sergio, I think I have one but I'm in Florida and I expect that the shipping would be EXPENSIVE.

Bubble Memory Drives

by mhstein＠canada.com

Hi Ray, My name's Mike, not Ken, but I thought I'd reply anyway, JIC. I don't know what your client's really after, but in case he(she)'s interested, I have a Sharp PC-5000 laptop for sale, which uses Sharp CE-100B 128K Bubble memory cartridges. It comes with 5 cartridges and I'm looking for around $200. Although this may not have any value in your case, it does have the built-in printer, Basic ROM and 16K memory expansion options, the user manual, and was working when I last used it (can't find the AC adapter right now to confirm). Let me know if you (or anyone else) are interested. mike --------------------Original message----------------- Message: 27 From: "Ray Leventhal" <leventhal(a)swhi.net> To: <cctech(a)classiccmp.org> Subject: Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drive Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 08:58:04 -0400 Organization: Sunshine Web Hosting Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Hi Ken, I saw your posting on the classiccmp.org listing from last March regarding the Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drives and was wondering if you might be willing to share some specs and/or perhaps be willing to part with one.

Well, I think you would do better at www.ibm.com and look for the model number. BTW, the model should have a dash with two characters after it. something like 6389-12U, anyway, the ibm web site calls it a pc365. Looks like it is pentium mmx or pro. Joe Heck

DEC colors

by CyndeM＠vulcan.com

I read an essay once where the author named the official colors of Digital's PDP computers / front panels. Now I can't find it, and I would really like to know what the colors were called. One was "China Red," I believe. There is a blue color and a kind of pumpkin color too. Does anyone remember those color names? Or know of a document that discusses the colors? Thanks!

Info for IBM PC?

by edwrite＠eudoramail.com

Please forgive my error if I have stumbled into the wrong place. If there is a better place to go for talk/info, any directions will be appreciated and immediately used. I recently purchased my first "IBM" computer. This is as opposed to the 68030 Macintosh LCII it is replacing. The Mac would have been fine, except it was beginning to crash, wouldn't do Internet, and had no idea what a CD was. The replacement is an IBM Mod No. 13U, machine type 6589. I'm looking for information on the innards of this machine: memory configurations, processor and bus, etc. It's got a socket for a second processor - what might go there? And why would I want to do that? Again, if this is not the best place for me to be, I apologize for intruding and would appreciate any directions. Thank you.

My laptop QRL doesn't show that particular variant - it jumps from FR-A70AW to FR-A75AW - but it should be a 100MHz Pentium, using 70ns 32bit SIMM modules. The "inside the firewall" library (updated just this morning, 8/27/03!) also shows a listing for 60ns EDO, but that may only work on the higher-end machines (as I recall they went up to 200MHz).

I went to Titusville today and rescued the NEC APC that Bill Yakowenko posted a message about earlier this week. It's a model APC-H03P and the box says that it has a color CRT. Can anyone tell me what it has in it based on the model number? Can anyone send me disks or docs for it? Looks like this one <http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=333>. While I was there I found a DEC DECstaation 3100 with external tape drive, external hard drive and a BIG box of Ultrix/32 manuals. I grabbed it to. Anyone have any info on this one? Joe

Trouble with HP 59309A Digital Clock

by vp＠mcs.drexel.edu

I am trying to get that thing to send the current time to an HP-87 but so far it is refusing to work. I have succeded in sending commands TO the clock (e.g. OUTPUT 717;"P" stops the clock while OUTPUT 717;"T" restarts it). After both commands the "ADDRESSED" LED comes on, but if I do a ENTER 717;A$ the HP-87 freezes. I do not have the manual, so I am bit lost. I also have a couple of questions regarding this machine: a) What does the INT/EXT switch do? My machine appears to work only when the switch is in the INT position. b) Both data and time digits have their decimal points lit. Is this normal? Can I turn them off? Thanks **vp

Workslate do you still have it ?

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

Hi Jay Since my experience has been that most of these people don't tend to reply to email, a verification mail might work. If someone is not on the list and they send to the list, just have a message sent to them, asking if they, as non-list members want that mail posted to the list with yet another verification address to send to. Those that use multiple emailing addresses may have to deal with it a little but maybe they can just sign up for each address.

OT: Ship based mainframe in movie(1961)

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

I found out more about the movie. Made right before Steve McQueen did Great Escape. Two Naval officers were on leave and ran into civilian at the Lido casino who said that odds could be computed if they knew the past series of positions of the roulette ball. They recorded the positions and used a signal lamp to send them to their ship, officer on ship entered them into computer and relayed via signal lamp back the predicted next winning position. I think they always bet on the top 3 predicted positions. They were staying in a suite at the hotel and ran into a cute young women who turned out to be the admiral's daughter. The admiral was staying at the suite downstairs and noticed the flashing signal lamp and thought there were spies around. Nobody could decode the Morse code signals of the roulette positions. Finally all were found out and confessed to the "gambling". Mike

ACCRC really irked me

by jwstephens_2000＠yahoo.com

>Ron, the first time was because you were there as my >guest. And since I >had my collection stored there I was part of the team and >was allowed >certain priveleges. I dealt with the Surplus exchange in Kansas City before the "public" was allowed in. These not for profits can sell in at last Missouri and I think here in CA w/o collecting any sales tax if they just go thru the effort to register properly. THere is no reason for an "attitude" unless they want to generate it. The surplus exchange invited in people that would tell them the maximum amount about what they had they had no experince with and how to get the maximum money for it. If there had been a group like this when they were getting all the 370s and such about 15 years ago, I would have had all you guys over them like stink on s**t, but some organizations get taken over with people who take care of their own needs and don't welcome other commers as competition for the good donations. The worst of this is in the Friends of the Bookstore groups, who have "collectors" and "dealers" on their boards to "help" with the donations. Anyway, lest this previous paragraph sound like it is directed at the pravious poster, Sellam, or anyone on this list, it is not. But the fact is, look at the Goodwill Computer sales and other thrift stores who are not for profit. THere is no reason that any group that is not for profit need have a problem for selling to the public. It is up to the charter of the operation who they sell to, or give to. The Surplus Exchange in Kansas City i think is one of the best examples of how to recycle equipment that there is anywhere. They have rules to get the most out of donations first directly to their "members" and other charities, in recycling better grade stuff directly to those groups, and then with variety of programs to extract value from the donations on down to just selling scrap. There have been rough spots in the road, but I dont think the result has been bad, and as I said I think they are one of the best to deal with anywhere. I know nothing of the group you mentioned, but what is on the list, and would be a bit put off they were not friendly as well. There is no reason they have to be other than their own choices. Jim

OSI offer

I was also wondering if anyone that has answered one of these has gotten a reply? Twice I've sent to one of these request without a reply.

Hi Jim, I found a post of yours to the cctech mailing list, stating that you have an IBM Selectric Manual. I was wondering if you could help me at all. I have one of the original 1960 IBM Selectrics, but the carriage (I think that's what it's called - the mechanism with the typing ball) stops at the tab position. When I hit return it moves to the farthest left position, but it will only move five spaces before stopping. After that it will only type in the same place until I hit return again. My husband seems to remember from his high school typing class, a three key combination that will "unlock" it from this position. Any ideas or advice you may have would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you! Shana Leslie shana(a)wackywitch.com

Iomec disc drive?

by aek＠spies.com

Is there any chance that someone has an Iomec removable platter disk drive? The type that I am looking for uses an IBM 2315 style 2.5Mb cartridge, similar to an RK05. -- you could check with Doug Jones if he still has these. RK01's were IOMEC's to be honest, you'd be better off trying to adapt a Diablo interface to whatever needed the IOMEC, as they weren't very good drives. They were also 100tpi. If you have some media you need to read it should be possible to double step tracks with a 200tpi drive. From: jones(a)pyrite.cs.uiowa.edu (Douglas W.

Calculators

by donm＠cts.com

My recent acquisitions seem to have fallen into the category of handheld calculators and are as follows: Corvus 411 - Introduced in 1974 at $49.95. It operates on four ni-cad AA cells and/or a 6VDC 100ma (shell +) wall wart, which I do not have, but can obtain a compatible one. Casio fx7000G - Seems to be the first graphics handheld, and was introduced in 1985 at 70 UK pounds. Operates on three 2032 lithium cells. No external power offered. HP41C - Introduced in 1979 at $295. It operates on four N cells. A ni-cad power option and external charging source was offered which this unit does not have. It is the basic 41C with no modules and lacks the cover plate and leather case. Each of these units is operating and the displays are clear and sharp. I will entertain offers for these units, either individually or as a package, until 5 September when I will determine who gets what - if any. There is a fair amount of information available via google search. I'll try to answer questions about these particular units, but claim no special expertise in the calculator field. - don

Need Info on SEGA Channel

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

I picked up a SEGA/Scientific Atlanta Channel device from 1994. From what I can find on the web it was device used as part of the interactive service (24/7) from Sega of America, Telecommunications, Inc., and Time Warner. For $12.95 you got to download 50 games per month and play them on your machine until you turned the machine then the games were deleted. What I need to know is the actual cost of this device itself, it's a model D-9593 and comes with a ac adapter? Also looking for a box and manual for it. Thanks

Looking for plot data files

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Technically ;) Autodesk sells the user only one license, which gets transfered to the new software version as it is upgraded. Therefore, the only way you could get a copy that would be even marginally legal would be if the user stopped using AutoCAD or purchased a complete new copy to replace the old one. I haven't had to do a regular upgrade since about Release 10 (where I work now is at an AutoCAD Registered Developer, so we have different licensing terms), but at that time, you had to return the original of the serialized first program disk in order to get the upgrade.

Shugart 801 floppy drives

Hi Jules The most common problems of these machines are: 1. small bits of the belt rubber stuck to the pullies. 2. dirty or magnitized head 3. sticking bearings or screw in head assembly. I clean the surfaces of the pullies by dragging a knife along the surface while spinning. This is the most over looked cause.

MOS Technology 6502 manuals

by philpem＠dsl.pipex.com

Hi all, I've just grabbed a copy of the MOS Technology "MOS Microcomputers Hardware Manual", dated January 1976, MOS publication number 6500-10A from http://www.spies.com/~aek/pdf/ . I've already got a (poor quality) reprint of the August 1975 version (publication number 6500-10). Does anyone know what - if anything - was changed in the January 1976 revision of the manual? Is it worth my while printing the newer manual out again and having it spiral-bound? I was going to print out the MOS Programmer's Manual (doc #6500-50A) anyway. Alternatively, does anyone have original copies of these manuals or the Synertek or Rockwell equivalents? An original MOS Hardware Manual and Programmer's Manual would be nice to have around, but I can live with a laser-print or photocopy if need be. Thanks. -- Phil. | Acorn Risc PC600 Mk3, SA202, 64MB, 6GB, philpem(a)dsl.pipex.com | ViewFinder, Ethernet (Acorn AEH62), http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/ | 8xCD, framegrabber, Teletext ...

Looking for plot data files

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

You can get a DXF-to-HPGL converter (such as http://www.imagespro.com/programs/2287/ ), then send the HPGL to the plotter. As far as getting an old copy of AutoCAD, you can pretty much forget that. AutoDesk has been very aggressive at maintaing their IP. The only version I have found on the web is one customized for the DEC Rainbow. There were some other 2D CAD packages such as TurboCAD that could read DXF, and were available as trial or free versions. You could Google for an older version that is compatable with your plotters.

Thanks for the pointer. Searching for DXF on the web throws up a bunch of possible stuff. Now to figure out how to plot DXF files cheaply! I think the shuttel picture goes back further than that.

Vintage Computer Marketplace Grand Opening!

by vcf＠siconic.com

The Vintage Computer Festival is proud to announce the grand opening of the Vintage Computer Marketplace, THE place on the web to buy, sell and trade vintage computers! http://marketplace.vintage.org The Vintage Computer Marketplace (VCM) has been designed to cater specifically to the vintage computer collector. The site features innovative sale and auction tools as well as inventory tools that allow you to keep a database of your computer collection online. It also features a powerful search tool to guarantee you find exactly what you're looking for. No more searches that return dozens or even hundreds of irrelevant hits. At the VCM, you can Buy and Sell using standard fixed price and auction mechanisms. But we also feature innovative sale and auction mechanisms you won't find anywhere else, plus the ability to trade or even put items in your collection up for temporary loan. Our powerful inventory feature allows you to maintain a database of your entire collection, including hardware, software, documentation, books, magazines, even ephemera such as posters, buttons, t-shirts, etc., in one centralized location. Our input forms are intuitive and easy to use. Once your collection is entered into the database, selling or trading off items to other collectors is a breeze. Even the database record gets transfered, so no additional data entry will be required, and a line of provenance is automatically created. The VCM really takes computer collecting to the next level! The VCM offers one of the most powerful search engines on the web. Instead of putting in your search terms and then sifting through perhaps dozens or even hundreds of irrelevant links, you can target your search to exactly the make and model of the item you are looking for. We've pre-programmed hundreds of computer manufactures and thousands of models into our database, and are constantly updating it with new information. When you do a search on the VCM, you'll always find what you're looking for immediately. During our grand opening period, the VCM will be free to use for an initial period of 6 weeks. After that time, the service will still be free to use for most users. Visit the VCM website and click on the "Help" link for more information. The Vintage Computer Marketplace awaits your visit. Sign up now. It's FREE! http://marketplace.vintage.org This is a live beta roll-out of the Vintage Computer Marketplace. As such, you have the option of being actively involved in the final stages of testing and development. Simply check the box in the user registration form indicating you'd like to be enrolled in the VCM Beta Tester mailing list and you'll be able to follow all the behind-the- scenes development and also make suggestions on what features you'd like to see. This is YOUR site. We want your feedback! We look forward to seeing you on the Vintage Computer Marketplace!

OpenVMS etc.

by rogersda＠cox.net

Peter, This is actually easier than MickeySoft, once you understand the relationships. First you need to know what device your cd-rom is. ~Normally~, it will be a SCSI device at address 4; and usually, on the first controller. Type $ Sho dev d and look for a disk that is write-locked, probably DKA400. If it is ... With the cd in the drive, type $ Mou/over=id dka400: then $ Set Def dka400:[000000] you are now ready to wander around as on any other RMS volume. Dale > This is my first dip in to OpenVMS. Could you give me an idiot's guide > to mounting the CD-ROM and installing TCP/IP? Coming from a strong UNIX > and Windows background, VMS is confusing me!

For Trade: SGI 4D series boards, memory, etc

by mvg1＠earthlink.net

Gravity patrol stopped by again with another warning. Now I'm moving the SGI 4D series material out. Trades have priority -- email me directly and I'll send you my list of items I'm looking for. Please feel free to suggest other trades, or I'll sell outright. I'm willing to ship internationally. These boards were all either removed during upgrades, or salvaged from machines being discarded. All have been stored inside in antistatic packaging. That said, I can't currently test any of them, so all are "as is". None of the memory boards includes simms -- although I have quite a stack of various sized memory simms available as well. Note that these boards/bits all are applicable to SGI 4D series machines, mostly including 4D/3x0 and 4D/4x0 machines, but also some Personal Iris and Professional Iris machines. A "?" in the list below means either I didn't see the info (like a build date on a board), or I'm uncertain of identification (which is why I'm including the part number from the board). "3rd" indicates a third party produced board (marketed and sold by SGI, but manufactured by a third party).

Bounty: FreezeFrame by Delta Microsystems ($$$)

by vcf＠siconic.com

I'm seeking out the software called FreezeFrame v1.0 written by Delta Microsystems and sold by Peripheral Devices Corporation in 1993. This was a backup program for Unix-based systems. The actual software or a user's guide will do, but it must be for version 1.0. This is a bounty so I'm offering a cash reward for the capture of this software. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

Mindset Computer

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

Just visited a friend who wanted to get his Mindset Computer working. We got it up and running, but we couldn't get it to boot from floppy. Either his drives have gone bad (unused for at least 10 years), or the diskettes have (from 1985). So... I'm on the lookout for a working Mindset Computer AND/OR copies of the boot disks for it.

Hi Ed I do have a number of the Donner resistor patches and a few of the capacitor patches. As Doug states, the resistor/cap patches can be made with standard dual banana plugs. The resistors usually start at about 10K and go up to 10M. Values of 1,2,5,10 are typical. You want these to be stackable. The capacitors are 0.1 and 1.0 uf. You want to use caps with low dielectric absorption and good temp stability. These are used for integrators that can run over several seconds. And, no, I don't want to part with my patches. Pomona makes what you need.

Low Level Format

by TRASH3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

Norton had a program called wipedisk, which wrote to the whole drive, and there are some shareware programs also. However, if you use Fdisk and remove all the partitions, and then create a single partition, then do a format /U/V then that will pretty much clean out everything. I have heard from some sources that nothing is ever completely gone and No Such Agency can actually pull data off a drive that was erased and reformatted. I have a hard time believing that one. Are you concerned about security, or just erasing and initializing the Drive? Joe Heck

Interesting Heathkit Expansion Board

by patrick＠evocative.com

I just pulled a really interesting-looking expansion board from a dead Heathkit H-89 I acquired a few months ago, and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, and/or had documentation and software to support it. And I know is what I can see; can't find anything on 'net. It's an N.O.G.D.S. (New Orleans General Data Services) HA-89-3-B. This thing is a whopper, the only thing it doesn't seem to have on it is another CPU. It has: * AY-3-8910 sound chip; * SC-01-A voice processor chip; * ADC0809 (there are four ports marked JOY1-4 on the board, so I'm assuming joystick pots); * 8253 Timer chip (some of its outputs extended to a 10-pin header); * 8259 Programmable Interrupt Controller; * TMS9918 video display processor and supporting RAM (there's cable running off the board that terminates in a RCA jack), for a second video display apparently; * AM9511 math coprocessor; * a couple of PALs and the usual array of buffers and decoders. So for all things, this looks like it was meant to support some really interesting applications on the H-89, maybe drawing/CAD, etc. (but the sound and voice chips?). The machine it came in also had a battery-backed real-time clock expansion board (with AA battery that leaked down onto the flyback transformer, yuck), and a parallel port board. I'd love to play with this thing, but I thought I'd ask before I spent hours following traces... --Patrick

IBM SYS/36 Software (was IBM 5360 FREE to good home)

by n8uhn＠yahoo.com

I think there was a pascal compiler - but i'm not sure. as far as copyright, ibm enforces thier copyrights - no matter how old they are - so you may not find any sys 3x stuff on the web. i checked before and did not find anything, dispite the fact that some disks can be copied to 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 useing the pc emulator and the ibm (irma?)card. i have no problem "sharing" old ibm software for the sys 3x systems on a small scale.

Need Ftpmgr.dll file

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

My hard drive crashed last week and I lost just about everything. I've been slowly reloading files and applications but I'm missing one badly needed file, "Ftpmgr.dll", it's part of WS-FTP. I have a copy of WS-FTP that I bought on-line less than a month ago and Ipswich is SUPPOSED to support if for a year but they've ignored my requests for a replacement copy of the program. I've spent about 5 hours and slowly retrieved all the files for WS-FTP off of the damaged drive but I have not been able to recover this one file. Does anyone have a copy of it that that can e-mail me? It should be about 273Kb and mine is dated 5/23/03. I searched the net and I found a site <http://www.donker.ws/nuke/dll1f.php> that is supposed to have the file posted but when I try to connect to the site the computer says that it is not a valid domain. Any idea why? From Ipswitch's registration message: "Detailed information on your purchase: Serial Number: WF-xxxxxxx Date of Purchase: Wed, 13 Aug 03 15:06:16 Quantity: 1 @ USD $39.95 each Subtotal: USD $39.95 Tax: USD $ Total: USD $39.95 Paid for in full with MasterCard Account."

For Trade: SGI software,manuals,keyboards,mice,machines

by mvg1＠earthlink.net

I've been warned by the Gravity Patrol that critical mass has been exceeded at my home again, so I'm cleaning out duplicate and unneeded SGI software, publications, keyboards, mice, and machines. All of this is original SGI material. Some of the software is of current interest (like the IRIX 6.5 base cds). Some will be of interest to those still running IRIX 6.2 or IRIX 5.3, or if you like older hardware. Condition of everything is either unused or lightly used (though one manual has a torn cover, and another is well thumbed). All manuals are the recent ones which are either wire-bound with paper covers or stapled paper covers (depending on size). Although I've not gone through the keyboards and mice yet, I have spare of many -- I can *probably* help if you need such (including optical mice and pads) for machines including Power Series, Personal Iris, Professional Series, Crimson, Indigo, Indigo2, Indy, O2, and Octane. I also have a very nice 4D/35 Personal Iris, a fairly rare IRIS File, and a 4D/340VGX (twin tower, 4 cpu, 256Mb ram) that are also looking for good homes. My enthusiasm for packing Personal Irises is currently quite low, but I might be able to be coerced. The 340 would have to go via truck, so that would be your responsibility to arrange, or pickup is fine too. For the right trade, I'll deliver it! :) Everything is available for interesting trades. Please contact me directly via email, and I can either supply you with a list of items I'm looking for, or you can try suggesting trades at random. I very much prefer to trade, but if absolutely nothing matches up, I'll consider US$ as well. Everything is in St. Louis, MO, USA. No problem with shipping internationally on the software, publications, keyboards and mice. -- Mark Software cds: ============= IRIX 6.5 base, complete (7 cds) (needed before installing any 6.5.x release.

NEC APC-H03P

by yakowenk＠cs.unc.edu

Hi all, I've got a line on a NEC APC-H03P available in Titusville FL, from a volunteer group that sets up donated PCs for schools. They don't care to get money for it, really just want to find the thing a good home, but they wouldn't mind getting a modern (pentium or newer) PC. It apparently has 8-inch disk drives, disks, and a monitor. Anybody know what this thing is? CP/M maybe? If interested, contact me and I'll send you their e-mail address off-list. Bill.

AltairBASIC on a Z80

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

Hello, all: Here's an interesting question for the group. Someone who works with me on the Altair32 Emulator is attempting to get AltairBASIC 4.0 running on a Z80 plug-in. It doesn't run. While scanning some past issues of BYTE, I came across the following letter from May, 1980: "I wonder if any BYTE readers could assist me in locating the patch to Altair 8k 4.0 Version and Altair Extended 4.0 Version BASICs which will allow these BASICs to run on a Z80." "I recently purchased a TDL ZPU which uses the Z80. The manual notes this incompatibility stating that Altair BASIC 'has as part of its routines several occasions where the parity flag is checked as part of the function. In the Z80 the parity flag indicates OVERFLOW during math routines, not parity.' The manual states that it contains a patch in Appendix C, but no Appendix C is included." Does anyone either have this TDL Appendix C or can tell me how to patch BASIC 4.0 to work on a Z80. Thanks. Rich
