Thanks. >As to were I get this stuff it's mostly at thrift's and auctions (the best >are schools and tech businesses The trifts around here never have anything that great, also tend to be expensive, and one of them won't even sell CPUs, just the rest of the stuff that went with it. (I finally got official word as to what happens when someone drops off a computer.. they told me it isn't an issue, they refuse them at the door, and they now chain off the lot at night and Sundays when they are closed so people can't drop off stuff and leave). Schools around here don't seem to auction things publically (once in a while they do them privately inside the school, but for the most part, they just throw stuff out... but at least I made a contact with someone at the school board of one of the local towns and told them to cut it out, if they are chucking things, give them to me, I'll take care of removal and disposal... they liked the idea as it reduced their costs, but I haven't heard from them since... maybe they just haven't tossed anything since I contacted them, I'll have to give them another call soon). And businesses... humm... around here, there are a few Pharmacutical companies, that is about it of size... and they destroy anything being disposed of (I tried REALLY REALLY hard to get stuff from one that was doing a major upgrade... they were literally throwing out brand new 15" LCD screens because they upped everyone to 17"s before all of the 15" were given out... but their policy dictated that they must be destroyed, so they were cracking them all before chucking them in the dumpster... I have a friend that works at the place, and he said it was killing him to do it and he and I made a number of calls to see if at the very least they would donate them to a local school or something... and people wonder why drugs cost so much in the USA!!). So it sounds like I am just in a crappy part of the country for computer salvage. I'll have to start poking around for other auctions... and maybe make a trip to the local land of landfills and see if any of the yards get machines they want to have removed. But at least I have been on the right track... I'm just going to have to try harder in the future. Thanks for the tips. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Ohio Scientific C4P-MF ROMs

by cott＠acclamation.com

I'm sure some of you in this group have heard of the "Catweasel" floppy controller, which allows you to read nearly any type of floppy. Recently, I sent Email to the manufacturer asking if they thought there was any possibility their controller would read my Ohio Scientific C4P floppies. After a little discussion, we decided it could. However, it turns out they're working on a new project: a hardware emulator for old 6502-based machines. Right now, it only emulates a Commodore 64, but they say that, if I can get them the ROMs, they can make it emulate a C4P, too. I sent them the ROMs from my cassette-based C4P, but it would be really cool if we could do the floppy-based one. Can anyone out there with a C4P-MF send me the ROMs? Thanks, Chris Ott

Help with pricing on vintage computers?

by gmanuel＠gmconsulting.net

Hi Everyone, I am new to the list and really love it already. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a resource, like Kelley Blue Book sort of, for vintage computer pricing? I have several to sell and several I would like to get, but I have no idea what to ask or expect to pay for them (or even if they are collectible for that matter LOL). Any help would be appreciated. I am not looking for a book per se, but some place (a website maybe?) to get some ball park figures. Thanks, Greg Manuel

PDP-12 on eBay

by GOOI＠oce.nl

Hi Chad / readers, I am not sure either, but this is what I know for sure. Before the merger SPERRY/Burroughs, Burroughs had a systems line but I do not know anything about those. SPERRY had the 1100-series; I programmed even assembly (MASM-1100) on those fine main frames. After the merger, so now it is UNISYS, the 2200 came available. It has a smaller footprint, lower power consumption, but is compatible with the 1100. Compiled/assmbled programs from the 1100 run on the 2200 without any re-compilation. I worked with the 1100 from 1990 to 1995, unitl I left the company. Never had any contact to 1100's afterward. Sometimes I miss the "@ASG,T" and all other demand-mode commands and the assembly language ...

I know a few years ago they still marketed some > A Series machines, but I think it existed as a carry over > from an earlier time. I worked with SPERRY and later UNISYS 1100 machines. Big main frames. They have a 36-bit architecture and the nice part of if is that you can always read the octal dump, because a 36-bit word was always the complete instruction. With "multi-byte" instructions in a dump it is a bit more difficult to find the start of an instruction. SPERRY had a character set called FIELDATA. It is 6-bit (uppercase only), so you fit put 6 characters in one (36-bit) word. Later, somewhere around 1989, they introduced the 2200, the smaller version of the 1100, but runs the same instruction set. I vagely remember that the 2200 line was called the "A-series", as there was also a "B-series" as a result of the merger of SPERRY and BURROUGHS to the new UNISYS. But, I am not sure. I left that company (and fine 1100) in 1990 ... - Henk.

A Few New Finds Today

>1. Black Macintosh TV no mouse, KB, or remote with it. Will test it on >Wednesday. If you happen to ever come across any of the mouse, kb, remotes... I could use a set. I have a Mac TV (finally... thanks John!!!), but it lacks its extras as well (and currently is supposed to be DOA, but I hope to finally have a look at it this weekend). I only run this by you because you seem to have the magical ability to find the most awesome stuff at little to no cost... where DO you do you hunting?!? Oh, and FYI: the MacTV will work with a universal remote. Sony TV code. At least that is true with my PowerMac, which came with a remote that is also compatible with the MacTV, so I draw the conclusion that the MacTV should also be compatible with a universal remote, sony code set. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Help with pricing on vintage computers?

by mikeford＠socal.rr.com

I love this logic, the price on ebay a place where all the traditional requirements of willing buyer, willing seller, and open market are met, isn't valid because its too high. No the acceptable price is the price you once saw in a scrapyard after years of digging through the place 3 times a week and have never seen since.
