Hmmm,
Me thinks that we are forgetting the benefits of a 555 timer, and an I/R
LED. Looks like somebody moving *all* of the time, and probably runs
for a year on a single 'D' cell.

Yes... I am sure its dead... I woke up and it had powered itself on
and it was making all sorts of high pitched whining sounds, etc
etc... (normally these machines have trickle power and power up with
the keyboard button). I am just hopeful it did not take out anything
in the machine...
It has the Videovision Telecast system in it, along with a FWB Nubus
SCSI Jackhammer card., Telecast connects to an external 19" rackmount
interface box which has Component, S-Video, Composite, and 4 channels
of XLR audio in and out. Way ahead of its time when it came out...
It was my first non-linear video editing system so I am sentimentally
attached to it... :)
I am located in Western NY area... Shipping $$$ is not an issue if I
can get this guy back on his feet again... thanks

Hi
I have one that i would like to get working but
have not been able to find much real helpfull
info on it.
These are based on a Computer Pheripherals inc.
tape drive. At least that is whats on the sticker.
It turns on and when you push "logic on" it goes
into self test and just stays there with out any
codes displayed. Display just stays at "00"
voltages look close. DEC manual says system main
board or voltages off. I guess they just had a
stack of spare boards to test with.
Thanks, Jerry

Hi,
Is it normal that I'm receiving _every_ message on the Classic Computer
mailing list twice?
I'm subscribed to several mailing lists and only the Classic Computer one

Kind regards,

Jay, that's a great looking system! Did you use any of the pieces/parts
you got from me on that system?
You have just inspired me. I think over the holidays I will finish up a
working 11/40 or 11/70 system to put in my office at work. I have
one of each ready, but I just need to clean up the side panels and
touch up the legs, clean up the black cover panels, etc. Those other
guys with all their golfing paraphernalia all over their offices will have
nothing on me once I have a real blinkenlights system sitting in the
corner of my office. :-)

Hello all;
I have a Radius mac clone , model 81/110 which needs a new power
supply.... it gave up the ghost this morning... anyone have one
available? or an entire system they want to part with?
Yes I need to keep this old machine alive.... nubus video capture
cards, etc...
thanks in advance...

seems to have been more prevalent in Europe then here.
There was a review in BYTE though.

Yes, it was common back in the day to buy a board that had

Well, I wonder what the chances are that an LCD monitor would work with CGA
inputs (dropped down to the proper voltage levels). The question gets back
to the sync issue. But it would not surprise me if some of them might not
actually have been designed to accept NTSC TV scan rates.

Jay,
I have a version of VTServer that works with the M9312 console
emulator, and it runs in Windows (well, in a DOS box). I think I
got mine from Fred Van Kempen, who crafted a special version
for me. I have used it on an 11/34 and an 11/40 and have not
had any problems. I've copied RK05, RL01, and RL02 pack
images to and from the PDP-11. Would you like a copy of my
version of VTServer? If so, I can email it to you or I can put it
on my web site (http://www.woffordwitch.com) where it can be
downloaded.

IMSAI is a company, really, not a computer. They made about a dozen models
of computers from 1975 to about 1981 (might be off a year or so on the end
date). But when people talk about an "IMSAI" computer, they are almost
always talking about the original IMSAI 8080 computer, the one in the War
Games movie. That model was made from 1975 to about 1978, and it was made
only in one color scheme (blue cover, grey lower front panel below the
switches). It was a very generic S-100 computer.
************
Exactly how old is the IMSAI computer? I
assumed it was from the 80's as I have only
seen it in the film War Games (starring a
young Matthew Broderick). A quick search on
the 'net a few months ago only revealed the
one unit, available in 3 colours (grey, blue
and one other, IIRC).

If you and Jay send me a tar file or tell me where they are I'll
make a page and put them up on the web.
I've got a bunch of little pdp-11 linux things I've been meaning to
collect anyway.
I'd be interesting in hearing more about "vtserver v3" also; who was
doing that?

Should people just list the reserved price as the start price? I see
auctions with reserved price often get 0 bid. This is something I don't
understand. In what situation would this thing be useful?
(I saw the vax 4000 100 auction and got this question)
vax, 9000
can you elaborate a little? To my knowledge, Kermit is
a protocol or set of them. I know Im a little dull

Anyway (thanks for your response btw), the 50-pins connector appears to be a standard SCSI port, at least that is what I discovered after measuring the 'ground' pin layout and comparing it with a standard 50pin - SCSI datasheet... The original Harddrive was a full size 3,5 inch model from a brand named Kyosho (the hardware is dated 1985 so I don't think 2,5 inch was around back then...) It only had a 26pin data strip connector (no power connector) (It's broken btw) which was hooked up to a little controller board (loose hanging in between boards) from SMS OMTI ( a famous name that is often found in accordance with SCSI drives and other datastorage devices (or so I read here and there))
I'm familiar with the 44 pin IDE layout you describe in your message and I regret that probably isn't the setup in this little bugger. After some reading on the SMS OMTI board, i read somewhere that smaller sized 50-pin SCSI drives can indeed draw power from the datastrip connector... whether this could work in my setup is unknown and I will not be able to try since I do not have such a drive...
I've also tried to add a standard ISA 16bit IDE controllercard, but with no luck. The BIOS simply doesn't allow other HD controllers other than it's own... The bios is fairly limited and what little motherboard-jumpers there are, come with no description whatsoever. STUCK... i guess
Unless anyone has any objections, i will put
up everyones suggestions onto my webpage
until I find out for sure what it is.
If anyone wishes to have their suggestions
marked down as "anonymous" then also let me
know.

Scelbal (basic for the i8008) in source form is avaliable on some

Anyone here sucessfully ran this on a emulator or on the real thing ?
