JC 80 parts and maybe a complete system

by jluclarose＠sympatico.ca

Hi, I'm a univesity student, studiying electrical engineering, in Montreal, Canada. I've been salvaging many old computer parts and I've come accross some JC80 parts. Would you be interested ? Here is what I have. Two JC80 Loop repeater, they appear to be in working condition except the batteries are dead. They would need new external or internal batteries to be fully functionnal. They power up on 120V. I couldn't veryfy them further. Trying to check what it was, I went to the University Heating plant and they showed me the whole JC80 sytem, now taken out of service, and stored for quite some time. It on a pallet, in a very relative condition, but it doesn't appear to be too beaten up (no obvious abuse, broken parts or damaged components. very dusty though :-) So If you are interested, I'd be willing to help you get in touch with the right persons, the director of the heating plant or the persons responsible for the University buildings. The guy who showed me the old system said they would probably be glad to get rid of that junk but that for now they were not planning on moving it from it's storage area. So you would have all the JC80 parts/system installed at the heating plant at University of Montreal. Are you interested ? Jean-Luc Larose VE2JWL --

Interesting Tim O'Reilly article.

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

There was just a piece on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" this morning (12/16/02) about how the record industry's current audit procedure makes it almost impossible for an artist to know even such basic information as how many copies of his/her CD have been sold. The section's summary is: <quote> NPR's Rick Karr reports on the latest developments in the ongoing dispute between record companies and artists over royalty payments. Two of the five major labels say they will change the way they compute royalties, to make them more transparent and less confusing. The record companies hope the changes will convince more artists to join the fight against free downloads of music on the Internet. </quote> -----Original Message----- From: Wayne M.

I don't think that's right. There are restrictions that prevent hiring an auditor on a contingency fee basis, and using an auditor who is performing an audit of the same company on behalf of another artist at the same time. I have never heard of the "approved list" you mention.

20mA cable details

by pete＠dunnington.u-net.com

The time has come to hook my ASR33 to the PDP-8/E. The -8/E has an M8650 (KL8E) which I've been using with RS232. However, I have 40-way Berg connectors, and the proper AMP flat 8-way Mate-N-Lok connector shells for the 20mA loop, and the male and female pins, and I know which signals go on which pins. What I don't know is which end should be male and which female, nor how many cables there should be in the chain, because the cables were cut by the previous owner of the TTY, which has never seen a PDP-8 in its life before :-( There's a grey 6-core connected to the ASR33, and I *think* the male connector (the one with the flat tongue and 6 male pins) goes on this cable. Therefore the connector with the grooves, which the tongue slides into, and the female "pins", does on the cable from to the PDP-8/E's Berg connector. Yes? Next question is, roughly how long would the original 20mA cable on the TTY have been? My memory, reaching back two or more decades, says the cable on the KL8E should be about a couple of feet, and the rest is all one piece, attached to the TTY. Or would there be a third in between? I have enough connectors to do it either way. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Old TI analog sound chip; info?

by root＠parse.com

I tried a google search, but alas... :-) I'm looking for the documentation for the olde TI analog sound chip; this dates back to the late 70's early 80's if my memory serves me correctly. I don't even remember the part number. AFAIK, it had some kind of "I2L" (I squared el) technology or somesuch, and it was mostly analog, with some digital control (but nothing like a DSP or midi). Anyone recall this chip? Anyone have the datasheet for it online or willing to scan it in?

Epson QX-10 CP/M disks and Operation Manual

by roger161uk＠yahoo.co.uk

Dear ClassicCmp Readers, I apologise for my joining the list and posting straight away, however, my reasons for doing so are that I have an original set of Epson QX-10 CP/M disks and a QX-10 Operation Manual that is looking for a new home. Unfortunately, I consigned a perfectly working (albeit "screen-burnt" with ash-filled keyboard) example of a QX-10 to the local dump a few years back. More recently, however, while clearing out my office I came across the virtually unused Operation Manual and CP/M disks. The disks are as follows (5 disks in total): Epson MultiFonts CP/M v2.2 & MultiFonts BASIC v1.3 Epson Diagnostic Program v0305 Epson CP/M PLUS Programmers Disk Epson CP/M PLUS Utilities Disk Epson CP/M PLUS GSX Disk If there is anybody who would like these disks and manual to complement a collection or museum of sorts, please could you contact me as soon as possible.

System/23 Support Disks

by cb＠mythtech.net

Does anyone have a set of the IBM System/23 support disks that came with a System/23? I have a manual here (Volume 1, Learning to use System/23), and it makes reference to disks that came with the manual. The disks are: Customer Support Functions (VOL002) Learning Diskette (VOL003) There may be other disks that go with later manuals (there are 7 manuals total, and I know one of them deals with BASIC, so I would guess there are disks to go with that as well... I would check but I can't get to the other manuals right now). If anyone has these, would they be willing to make me copies if I supplied the blank 8" disks, postage, and a few bucks for the effort? The copies that go with my manuals appear to be MIA (I suspect they were used as blank disks many years ago). TIA -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

I don't need to add much to what Tony has said, except to confirm that what you have is indeed (from the model number) a USA Model B.

free: two RL01 drives, PDP-11/23, rack

by jrengdahl＠hotmail.com

Here is what is available: - two RL01 drives. I grabbed these to save them from the dumpster, but I have no way to try them out. - two PDP-11/03 (BA11) chassis. One is missing a piece of card guide, but it can be stuffed with 11/23 boards and it will run. If you want an 11/23 board set (KDF11-A, 256K RAM, serial/LTC) I'll throw those in too. The card cage is missing from the second BA11, but the power supply, front panel, and fans are there and functional. - a 39 inch high ugly gray 19" rack that will hold the above. - 14 RL01 disk packs. Some are labelled "RT-11 V5 + TSX", "RT-11 archive", and "Fortran". The RL01 stuff was all pulled out of an unheated U-store-it, and I don't know how long it had been there. I don't much about cleaning heads and disk packs, but I would recommend getting some expert advice and checking things carefully before spinning these up. The drives are missing the mounting hardware (slide-out rails, etc.), and the cable from the controller to the first drive. I have a cable to go from the first to the second drive, and the terminator. Free to whoever will come take it away. Located in Chardon, OH, about an hour east of Cleveland. It will *not* be trashed. It doesn't take up much room, so rather than doing a lot of work to pack it for shipment, I'd rather let it sit until someone can come pick it up. -- Jonathan Engdahl http://users.safeaccess.com/engdahl/pdp-11.htm "The things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
