Hey, Did you ever get HD to respond? If so let me know. I've tried everything I know to get this 1520 up and running. I thought it would be cool to run it with windows 1.01. Thanks, John

I had something for the Apple II that was similar. Animated video like thing of two girls playing "hide the salami" with... well... a salami. I have NO idea what was called, or where the disk went, but I remember it because it was to me just incredible that a computer could turn something like that out. >This was on-the-edge shit and for the most >part seems to be dying (what do you do when not coding >boring stuff) in favor of repeating some hi-paying sort of >state propaganda shit based on GI-Joe. But I seem to recall the game "GI-Joe" was pretty cool. Although honestly I don't remember too much of it, and I know that I was way more easily amused back then than I am now (as testiment to watching Cartoon Network's "Boomerang" channel and wondering why on earth I loved some of those cartoons so much as a kid) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

TI Silent 700 paper

by RCTech＠cnri.us

I have several rolls of TI Silent 700 thermal paper in the original plastic wrapping. These date to approximately 1982. What are the chances that they are still good? And is anybody looking for some TI Silent 700 paper?

A really cool book find at the flea market today

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

After selling several boxes of books today at the flea market I started looking at them myself later in the day and fond this black book titled Dictionary of Computing Second Edition 1986. But the cool factor was that it was stamped apple computer inc. LIBRARY in several spots through out the book. The card pouch in the back covers has a stamp with APPLE COMPUTER, INC LIBRARY CUPERTINO, CA 95014 and a Apple Library bar code label with the number 22505 on it under the bar code. I started looking at the other boxes of books and could not find any other books from Apple and I'm not sure how many I may have sold earlier in the day. :-(

Help with two Classic tester's

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

I picked up two testers and need help finding info on them. One is a black UART tester made on metal and is 14"x10"x6". On the top panel are all the switches with large labels such as INTERRUPT INPUTS, DISCRETE INPUTS, and REU ANALOG INPUTS. These are the smaller labels under each switch D.GND, WRITE/READ UART A REGISTERS, PWB CONNECTOR, WRITE/READ UART B REGISTERS, VIDEO SELECT VSYNCA/VSYNCB ON, LOW VOLTAGE ALARM INPUT ON, WR/RD, EOC INTERRUPT, ACD INTERRUPT, UART B INTERRUPT ON, UART A INTERRUPT ON, PWB DC CURRENT (+5V), RESET, COMPANSATION DISABLE, SELF TEST REQUEST. REU/DU HOT, VREF/VS, and 0.012/0.25/0.50. On the front panel are a power switch with selects for INTERNAL or POWER SUPPLY SELECT, MAIN POWER ON switch with red light. On the back panel we have a 25 pin connector, External Power connectors +12, A.GND, -12, and +5, a Fuse, and plug for a power cord. There is no ID labels anywhere on this black box. Any leads? The second tester is a Field Test Unit for old tape drives made by Magnetic Peripherals Inc. part of Control Data. Has equipment ID of TB303A, Series code of 11, PN 75255003 and is this thing every heavy close to 50 pounds in a special carrying case. Any help on this one? Thanks in advance.

Well, it seems that I have some bad news to pass on to the group. The GRiDCase 3 I just recently bought has bit the dust. Thanks for everyone's help, but it looks like it just wasn't meant to be.

Along those lines there was "Sex Cartoons" for the Commodore 64, a series black and white cartoons that looped. One high school I attended had a room full of Commodore 64s running from a shared 1541 via some peripheral sharing unit. At the start of class everyone would do LOAD"*",8,1 to boot >from whatever disk was in the drive. One day I replaced the typing tutor disk with a copy of "Sex Cartoons". At 13 years of age seeing that running on a room full of Commodore 64s was worth the week of detention I got for it. Then there was "Party Games" on the Amiga, imagine a Decathlon style joystick waggling game with somewhat different graphics.

DEC VAX/VXT2000 and monitors

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Hi all, Trying to clean up the "inbound" queue of systems-to-check-and-fix, and here's a few boxes I cant seem to figure out. Heeeelp ! ;-) Basically, the monitor madness I guess. I have: - various VAXstation 3100-family systems with mono, GPX and SPX cards - various VXT2000 boxes with their SPX card - a VXT2000+ box with "SPX PLUS" card and, two monitors (only.. gave the rest away long time ago.), a VR19-D3 (seems to be a generic GDM1960 - it also has the HI-LO switch on the back) and a VRT320. The VRT320 is the one that actually seems to work on all the GPX cards, and on the SPX cards in the VXT2000's. It does NOT sync with the SPX cards in the -M38 and -M76's, and neither for the SPX PLUS card in the VXT2000+. Obviously, I would want the -M38 and -M76's SPX cards to be used, and the SPX PLUS in the VXT2000+. No specs on the latter can be found, though, although I did notice that there is a 74.3MHz xtal on it, rather than the 69.9 one on the regular card, so it might be doing the 1280x1024@74 rather than @70. Does anyone have info on this? Cheers, Fred

PDP-8: (and others) anyone tried NVRAM simulation of hard drives?

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

I think Ethan's points are excellent; in fact, the main reason I had suggest an SSD in the first place was because the real drives used with the 8/i were not very large (by modern standards). I'd like to add that a major reason for my desire for such a beast is the fact that I have absolutely no peripherals for my 8/i, nor do I have the required boards to control them if I did have them. Heck, I don't even currently have a complete machine, but I'm working on it. I'll hopefully soon have a list of needed boards I can post to the list... Anyone have any REAL manuals for the thing that they'd part with? Or a paper tape reader? Please? *begs* Will J

PDP-8: anyone tried NVRAM simulation of hard drives?

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Omnibus or Posibus? Why not Negibus? Neither Omnibus nor Posibus would help me on my 8/i, since mine is Negibus... An SSD would be a Very Cool Thing to have though... Especially since it really wouldn't have to be very large in terms of capacity.. Will J _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I have an ancient copy of this game on two 800K floppies - whether it has sound or not I'm not sure as I don't have a system 6 Mac handy to test with but it dates to maybe 1988 or 1989 - I have a note to myself on one disk that it's "not Multifinder compatible and needs to be run after restarting with the Command (Apple) key down", which locks out Multifinder. If you'd like a copy I'll make disk images and e-mail them... Seth Lewin

If you show us the contents of /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/config/static-route.options (if you're going through a gateway like a local router) or if you're using PPP: /etc/ppp.conf (obscure the passwords!), and the output of netstat -ia, netstat -rn, and ifconfig -a, we might be able to figure it out. Is routed or gated running? yp/nis? named? You mentioned "your router". Does your router do DNS? If you have /etc/resolv.conf pointing to the same nameservers as your router is, and you also list the router itself, and the router is doing some form of NAT, chances are that replies to DNS requests from your machine will get lost.

GRiDCase 3: Help!

by netsurfer_x1＠fastmailbox.net

I not too recenly picked up a GRiDCase 3 with 2 "GRiD Disc System 2204" external hard drives. Just yesterday they both started acting up on me. It would initially spin up when you turned it on, but after a few seconds they would just kick off. A few seconds later I get a "1702" message on my screen. I'm lead to believe that there could be a configuration problem somewhere, but I'm not 100% sure on this. My questions are: 1. What is going on here? 2. How do I fix this? -- David Vohs netsurfer_x1(a)fastmailbox.net -- http://fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own
