LOADS of docs and paper tapes. Many of which I have not seen before and are
new to me at least. Most of this stuff is in perfect condition, a few items
are in "fair to good" condition. Most of the paper tape library seems at
first blush to be RJE centric, some DB/Image, RTE, and DOS stuff seems to be
there as well. 12 binders of docs for pretty much everything, hardware &
software. I put up some pictures of the stuff while it was all in the
garage/basement at http://www.ezwind.net/jwest/HP
Also got the wayward 30062 terminal controller multiplexer connector panel
that I have been looking for. Yay!
An oddball (to me) item was in there.... a 98041A disc interface. This
appears to let an hp 98xx? calculator hook up to large HP disc drives?
Time to take a week off work perhaps and clean & test & play :)

Hi All,
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a color monitor to use with old HP 9000
300 series machines?
The important number is the line rate of 25 kHz. Most modern multi-sync
models only start at 30 KHz so won't sync on to these older machines.
Cheers
Peter Brown

Clear DayJust picked up for pocket change at a yard sale: a Gravis Phoenix
joystick/game pad combo (SN: 4794, Made in Canada, FCC ID: HYN1010A). Its old
enough that it has, aside from the normal DB-15 game port adapter, a split
unversal adapter for an AT or PS/2 keyboard port. The adapter is unique, I
think, in the fact that it appears fully reversable to work with either. I
plan to test it on my PC, but I wondered if anyone could point me in the
direction of schematics, user manuals, drivers or installation packages. Any
assist greatly appreciated...

Fry's Sunnyvale location has moved twice. The first was on the other
side of Lawrence, approximately behind Coco's. It was as Al said, the
sort of place you could go for ICs, connectors, Amiga RKMs, potato
chips, soda pop, and aspirin.
I'm guessing that the big difference is that Fry's now uses the
grocery-store model in the parts aisles: rather than hire
knowledgeable buyer(s) to select a good range of stock, sections of
the parts aisles are rented to to distributors who supply the stock
(and maybe even put it out on the shelves). So you get very narrow,
single-vendor selections of some types of parts.
That and, well, the target market is everyone (instead of just
Sillycon Valley geeks) now that computers are just a special case of
consumer electronics.

I don't understand that at all.. I've read hundreds of discs with

Getting your software working on a PCI Mac with the new version
of the card, as well as adding hard-sectored and M2FM support is
on my list to do.

If anyone is interested in reading RX02 format with a Catweasel, I've
been down this road. My software for the Catweasel can read and write
these disks. You can download it from my Web page.
If you hate the Catweasel for some reason (I seem to draw hostility when
I post about it here), you're also free to grab my software and adapt it
to other hardware that can sample floppy drive output.

Thanks to Tom Uban, there is now a scan up at
www.spies.com/aek/pdf/dec/disc
I've got an SGI Professional Iris 4D/80, sans disk and some trim pieces on
the case, that I want to get rid of. It's got some Digital and analog
video input connections on it, and the max ram you can put in on the
mainboard (16MB?)
I'm willing to ship the whole thing, or just the boards + I/O bulk heads.
$10 + shipping (Pickup is OK, too) for it all, or any part of it.
I'm in Lafayette, IN, near Purdue.
At least the case needs to be gone by next weekend, I can hold onto the
boards for another week or so. I'm out of space and trying to thin the
collection out. I've never hooked it up, and selling it for less than I
paid for it when I got it a few months ago. I just want to keep it out of
the dumpster if I can. Email me (off-list) if you have any questions,
I can get a list of the boards in it if anyone is interested. If there's
a lot of response, I'll take the best offer I get by Tuesday morning.

I am looking for an IBM PS/2 Model 25, preferrably one with an internal

would be interested. This is the model with monitor integrated into the

Yeah, right... do you treat all of your new users like this>!
I already am bidding on several on Ebay, but I want the original stuff... I
already have a bunch of original machines, but the Osborne 1 was MY FIRST
CPM machine (aside from my Timex Sinclair 1000).
I found this mailing list by looking at an auction on ebay who uses this
group.
Yeah I am a collector, and I do have deep pockets for the right machine - so
instead of being a jerk about it, why don't you try and help out.

Actually, the joystick failed on my PC: the PS/2 connections disabled my
keyboard, and the DB-15 connector blocked-out my sound card. Any thoughts

What cracks me up is that someone has the nuts
to accuse another in a free market system of greed.
What are you, some kind of socialist that another
owes you? Somebody purchases at their expense (where
is your money bub?), store at their expense (garage
or otherwise costs money), market at their expense
(if possible, were do you market such stuff these
days, eBay seems only viable option), and still get
them in the hands of those folks that enjoy and want
to buy one. 20 years ago your labor was a lot less
than it costs today, I speculate somewhere in the
range of 20-30% of what it is today. That makes
your labor costs today about 300-400% more today
than they were then. I don't see anyone accusing
you of being a greedy guy cause you get paid 200-300%
more than you did in the early 80s, or maybe you don't
work and suck of the nipple of the govern-mint.
Just some thoughts. Hope you have a nice day!
Steve :
I found your posting about the lower case option for the ADM-3A terminal
.
As you can see, this is not the last time that somebody will do this :o)
I have one terminal here that works perfectly well. The only thing I need
is the ROM listing to adapt some 2716 or 2732 the same way you did in the
complete article web page. I couldn't download the files from the web
page because it gives some kind of server error. Could you please be so
kind to send me both files via email if they are still available ? I will
appreciate that very much.
Kind regards,
Roberto G. Berner
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADM-3A
I just "restored" a nice brown/beige ADM-3A. I got a
new CRT for USD 50, and then noticed that this unit
didn't have lower case installed. What the "lower
case" option consisted of was a lower case 2513-type
ROM and a couple of 2102-1 chips, all of which can be
inserted into sockets on the motherboard. Problem is,
the lower case 2513 LC ROM is not readily available.
So I built an adapter to make the multi-voltage 2513
PMOS chip I had from my other ADM-3A look like a 2716
to my EPROM programmer/reader. I read the upper and
lower case chips, programmed a lower case 2716, and
made a small adapter from to make the 2716 "look" like
a 2513 in the socket, installed the chips/adapter,
flipped a few switches, and voila!
This is detailed athttp://juliepalooza.8m.com/sl/adm3a-2.htm
I don't think that this is the FIRST time that this
has been done - but it might be among the last!

I have recently bought colour tape for the 33.
The printer has a black substance that pushes the printhead towards the
paper. This has dissolved into an oily-like thing, and there is zero
pressure for the head against the paper. I will try to put a licorice
candy (L?kerol) in its place as a kludge, but it very likely won't last.
Do you know what causes it? Where to get a new one? Is that SUPPOSED to
happen?'

Could be voltage drop between PSU and backplane, resulting in low
voltage on the cards. Part of the problem with the harness (which was
discussed here some months ago, in a different context) is that parts
go high-resistance. Check the voltage (especially the +5V) on one of
the cards.
