It's probably obvious from the TK50 posting that I'm
cleaning out old storerooms.
I have a nearly-complete set of RSX-11M manuals in many feet
of orange binders.
If you need a particular manual, let me know and I'll see if
it's there. If you want the whole thing, be prepared to pay
for actual shipping costs -- it's a big documentation set.

Yeah, yeah, replying to my own email, bad form, etc.
I'm an idiot. I just received a 3.5" floppy disk in a CatWeasel Mk3 package from the US and it was fine. Since *every* incoming package is scanned and 5.25" disks are on the whole *more* robust than 3.5" disks, then sending 5.25" disks out of the country should be safe.
Judging by the order of emails Ram will get XACT and Gene will get all the other originals I'm prepared to part with (if he's still interested without XACT).
I'll box them up and workout postage soon.
Just so I know, are there people here that have "standing orders" for any original software I can find? The total load of disks that were disposed of recently (not that much made it to a bin) included:
5.25" DSDD blanks
5.25" DSDD originals
5.25" DSHD originals
(I grabbed all of the above)
5.25" DSHD blanks
3.5" blanks and originals of both densities with possibly some Mac software as well as PC.
By "blanks" I mean non-originals, backups, data, copies, and actual blanks that have probably never been used (certainly never labelled).
What are people after?

Okay, what happened? The item still shows up in a search for
'(dec,digital,pdp)', but when the specific item is selected, it
shows up as invalid:
"The item you requested ( 2300403973 ) is invalid, still pending,
or no longer in our database. Please check the number and try again.
If this message persists, the item has either not started and is
not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer
available."
The last price I saw on it was just over $2000...

Hello Greg,
I was looking for a DC003 Interrupt logic Chip and found your information on a website. What I need is to know where I can find these chips and who to call. Any information will be greatly appreciated. My information is below so if you can email me or call me, please let me know.
Thank you

What is it? Looks like a portable terminal of some kind. It is for
sale at what I think is a tourist price and the dealer won't even pull
it off the shelf till he sees money.
Do I want it? ;)

I have two Toshiba 3100/20 plasma display 286 systems.
Both working except
that one has a dead hard drive. Excellent condition.
Have the schematics
and service manual, user docs, software.
Anybody want them?
--cg
...Do you still have them? My friend has one of these
beasts, sadly without docs or software. It won't get
past some CMOS errors and the HDD fails. It doesn't
appear to boot from floppy either, at least it doesn't
make any noise! We decided to strip the drive out to
mount it from another computer and get the software my
friend needs from the drive. We carefully took it
apart only to find that the HDD has a 26-pin interface
that isn't compatible with IDE.
If you still have the manual, could you do me a favour
tell me if it is possible to boot this machine from
its FDD?
Where are you located? I am located in the UK.
TIA,
<jl/>

Hi,
I have been looking for this. I'll take XACT if no one else claimed it, but
Eric is right, you do need a dongle to use it...
Thanks,
Ram

Subject: Apple Mactinosh Computer
In June, 1984, as a member of the Research Board, a special group sponsored by MSV Consulting out of New York, I was asked by Steven Jobs to participate in Apple's Executive Advisory Program and evaluate the Mactinosh PC. At the time, I was Vice President of Computer Operations and Communication Systems for Union Pacific Railroad.
After completing my evaluation, the Macintosh that I had been evaluating was given to me in appreciation for my participation and contribution to the program. I have a letter dated July 1, 1985, from William V. Campbell, who was Executive Vice President of U.S. sales for Apple, at the time, which verifies that all of this actually transpired.
Obviously, I still have the Macintosh. I think It may be unique because of the manner in which I acquired it and the fact that it doesn't have a serial number on the back. Why, I don't know. I think the units may have been pulled off the assembly line in a hurry to make a "hands on" presentation to the members of the Research Board at a meeting in San Francisco.
Would you or would you know anyone who could give me an estimated value for this Macintosh? I have a full complement of hardware, including a printer and carrying cases. The equipment is in pristine condition, having been used only briefly over 18 years ago.
Any input you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I came across an email posted some time back about the Tek 4xx scopes
and Tek probes. It mentioned that the Tek P6106 is the "Real McCoy".
What is different between a P6106 and a P6105? I'm looking for the right
probes for a Tek 466.
Thanks!

***I hope this isn't a duplicate message... wasn't originally aware there were two different lists***
Hello ~
I am new to this list and have found an item that I need some help with. Well.... I kind of am new.... I've been away from the list (and collecting classics) for several years (4?) doing other endeavors, but am ready to dust off the old classics and get back into the hobby. I basically specialize in the old 8-bits, game consoles, etc., and currently have about 300 different
machines.
Anyway, at a "flea market" I came across a yellowish-tan cased integrated keyboard/monitor unit, with the appearance of being late 70s vintage. The monitor was probably 7 inches wide, and the keyboard was pretty laid out pretty tightly. A compact unit overall. No disk drives, etc....
Upon further review, I found it is called a Scanset -- model HE 415-B -- and apparently was made by TEMAT.
I have been unable to find any additional information on this computer. Can any of you help?

Howdy, list mates. I'd like to acquire a MCM
Computers 700 / 702. This was a primitive laptop from
1977. Does anybody have one they'd consider parting
with? I'm located in Boston.

I recently picked up a Cirris Signature 1000 cable tester and I'm looking for any adapter cards for it. (See <http://www.cirris.com/cable/tester/1000m.pdf> for pictures.) Does anyone have any that they're willing to sell or trade?
I have some adapter cards that fit the T&B CableScan model JB 100 and model 128 cable testers that I'll swap for ones for the Cirris tester. See <http://www.cablescan.com/products/m128.htm> for a picture of what these look like.

Just a quick HP-1000 memory question while we're all discussing it... I have
a single 12747H board in my 2113E.. is it correct to jumper it for 0-64K?
That would be my guess, as it is the only memory present.. I'm thinking the
fact that it was jumpered as 960K-1024K may have contributed to my machine's
failure to work, heh.

I've finally purchased a digital camera!
Any recommendations on photographing machines?
resolution, size, positions - front, back, inside, screen shots?
I was thinking of starting with the machines I'm currently working on
(cromemco system 3, AS400 9404, and Commodore SP9000) and then move through
the collection as time and web space permit.
