Hello Peoples, I am reading the the mail starting fairly recently. I have a Commodore Pet vintage 1975, serial # in the 13,000 range, received on Guam while in the U.S. Navy, currently not running has a screen full of random characters, seems to me I remember this as indicative of a 6550 MOSTEK ram failure. An Ohio Scientific Superboard, used as a development tool by a firm just starting in computer control of the real world. A DEC something that hasn't been run since it was shut down. The DEC had the BIG 10m removable drive packs, drives and packs since departed this earth in one lost shipment or other. I don't always get to the mail in a timely manner, but it certainly is interesting reading. I am encouraged that there are other enthusiasts out there who appreciate the electronics for what it is not necessarily what it will do at 4.8Ghz. Faster and bigger is not always better. It seems to me the days when programs had to be chained, led to better and less buggy programming. Kev kandres(a)epssecurity.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi, I'm not exactly a Corvus collector, but I used to work for Lawrence S. Epstein Associates, LTD., and we were the East Coast Distributor for Corvus Equipment for quite awhile... And I have a couple of drives and various odds and ends taking up space in a closet... I have some IBM XT Omninet Adapters, I think a couple of older Apple II adapters, Some Mirror Boards, an "H" series drive, and an old Apple II only OmniDrive. I also have manuals and software, maybe even a constellation adapter too.. Those were the days... When a 70mb HDD sold for $8000.00... :) Al __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com

Epson QX-10 / AT

by wroberts＠wi.rr.com

Valdocs was a office suite, word processing, spreadsheet and database group unique to the Epson QX-10 and QX-16 computers. It also ran CPM. and add in board was available that allowed Dos to also be run on the machine. Machine had two voice coil floppydrives that could be configred to many of the early floppy format modes of other computers. I have several including original instruction manuals and many programs for both CPM and early DOS. The computer did not have a hard drive (although an addon was available) and was limited to 360 5 1/4 disks. Is anyone interested? Bill -- William F.

Classic HP equipment available

by amanise＠mscn.demon.co.uk

Hi, I’m acting on behalf of a friend of mine who is looking to find a good home for some classic HP Workstation equipment. He has two HP 9000 workstations which he bought way back when the world was young. One is a Model 345, the other a 710. They are both pretty much complete and there are also a couple of extras like hard disc drive unit, early optical disc unit, and external DAT drive. They both come with 16” graphics monitors and graphics input tablets, and both have their original HIL keyboards. The kit list goes like this; HP9000 Series 700 (Apollo) Base unit (sn:3147G02128) Monitor (A1497A) (2 off) Tape drive unit Model CP-150SE Floppy Drive Unit (Mitsubishi MF504B-318M) Optical Drive Series 630 Model 650/A (with 4 rewritable optical discs) HP9000 345 Workstation (sn:98578x3004G01849) Hard Disc Unit Series 330S Model C2212A (sn:3017A02452) DAT Drive Model 310 (sn:310-930013) Full set of HPUXv8.0 Manuals All this stuff is open to offers. If anyone is interested, I think the only caveat might be that if you take away one thing – you take away the lot. Serious expressions of interest should be made to this email address in the first instance. In the interests of practicality, you might like to note that we’re in England – but please don’t hold that against us. Many thanks, Adrian Manise

PET chiclet keyboard

by avickers＠solutionengineers.com

Hi, Does anyone (pref. UK based for postage charges) have a spare chiclet-style keyboard for the PET 2001? I don't mind if it's broken, in millions of pieces, etc., just so long as the keytops are in good (or, ideally, excellent) condition and are all present. I have a k/b which works well, but is worn right down to the point where some keys are completely unreadable. It would be nice to have it looking all pristine again. -- Cheers, Ade.

T1000 Laptop Toshiba in Bangkok

by vcf＠siconic.com

Is anyone interested in a Toshiba T1000 laptop from Thailand? There's nothing particularly special about the T1000. It's Toshiba's second laptop (the T1100 was the first) and it's just a DOS machine. However, the term "laptop" was first used by Toshiba, and this line of machines is what was given that name. I just think it's cool that someone in Thailand wanted to donate a computer :) Reply-to: <wucharinton(a)hotmail.com> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 08:07:52 +0000 From: wuchrinton meephanlom <wucharinton(a)hotmail.com> Subject: T1000 Laptop Toshiba Dear Sirs, I had old Laptop T1000 Toshiba -FDD Single Density -512 KB Internal RAM -DOS 2.11 now Working well!!! form 1983-today Bey Meephanlom 209 Soi21 Ramkhamhaeng Road.

Early "open hw" projects (was Re: 32k boxen)

by lynne＠telemuse.net

Regarding your thread on NS32k designs (aug2002) to update. We showed off the 375 prototype at the VCF at NASA a few months back - it was a wirewrap and ran great. Also showed a production unit that also ran well. It was sold mostly in aerospace and government (which is why you don't see many owned by individuals nowadays). 386BSD was inspired by many SCS software innovations, including support functions. I passed on your kind words about the 375 to William. Regards, Lynne Jolitz.

PDP8/S then GRI-909 and the perhaps a british machine called the Molecular?

by osmo.palonen＠pp.inet.fi

Hi, if I remember right, GRI-99 was the computer used in Dymo Graphics, called later Itek systems. Those were used for editorial and composing room text processing with "intelligent" VDU's with Z80 processors. There were a user Group for the European users of Itek systems in the 80's. The system was build in the USA, but I had no idea that the computer could have been British. I have used those systems by myself, but now studying history in the University of Tampere in Finland.
