Zane (and anyone else who is keeps DEC module lists),
I was looking up the functionality of a board set I got off eBay
recently (three auctions for the three boards from an H220 "MM8-E")
and notice that for the H212/MM8-EJ, you list G??? as the core
stack. Having just looked it up in the maintenance prints
(B-DD-MM8EJ-B), it's the G646, which you have listed, but not listed
as part of the MM8-EJ.
I can confirm that the G646 _is_ part of the H212/MM8-EJ. You may
"connect the dots" in the Module List.

(now all I need is a working circuit breaker and I can test my "new" H220!)

It takes a serial cable (mini-din 8 to DE-9 or whatever you have on your

I have just the 100, and 2 of the 110's. (but want a 130, an eMate and a
2100, don't care much about the 120 or 2000)
I was a member of Apple's "Newton Developer Program", so I do have a
number of cool CDs full of stuff. At one point I was writing software for
them, but I wasn't very good.

It sounds like an old Chromatics graphics workstation... don't know a ton
about it, but I'll bet its powered by a VME embedded SPARCengine, probably a
1+ or something...

Greetings all,
Have been offered a Barco Chromatics unit, but I'm having the devil of a
time trying to find any decent information out about the unit.
I've been scouring Google but the only useful thing I found is pretty
generic. 6U VME unit, graphics renderer, semi-proprietary UI maybe...
Anyone have any better first-hand knowledge of the unit?
The dude has no VDU for the machine, but it has a set of 5 BNC connectors
which gives me some hope...
Anyways,
Any help appreciated.

Apparently, because I mention Altos in a few places on my website, I got
this request. I just saw some bits about Altos pass recently - someone has
to have a live one still in captivity. Mine are all in need of dustbunny
removal and more.
Please reply to the email below, not to me.
Thanks,

We had an old Altos 3068 (running a 68010 chip I belive) that died. We are
in need of transferring some data

Do you have any ideas on what we could try?

Guys,
I have a few console, diagnostic, and patch tapes for the 11/750 and 11/730
on TU-58. I just recently got my 11/750 working, but I don't have a console
tape that will boot it properly, though.
What emulators are used to communicate with the VAX to simulate the TU-58?
Anything for DOS, or is everything Linux based?
I remember a discussion a little while ago about TU-58 tapes and a possible
archive site, has that been set up? If so - when I can get the tapes
archived I can submit these for inclusion.
I'd also like to snarf a console tape archive or two as well... : )
Thanks!

Many thanks for this tagline to a fellow RGVAC'er...
I have an Etak Navigator, serial number 67, that was at one time installed
in my car, but many years ago was removed and relegated to a box in storage.
I pulled it out a few months ago, but I have no idea where the tape drive
is. I've moved many times since I worked there. I've contacted Etak (now
Tele Atlas), but so far my inquiries have fallen on deaf ears. Does anyone
out there happen to have a tape drive, or the whole system, that they'd be
willing to sell/trade/etc? TIA, Patrick
For what it's worth; RT-11 V4 seems to exist in both blue AND orange binder
versions! And yes, the V4 manuals in blue do indeed have "PDP-11" style
covers... Weird eh?

I looked the model of the drive up, and sure enough, 1.2MB.. Which is
exactly what I had figured.

Thanks, I've bookmarked that so I have (almost) no excuse now!

Oops, I meant DU686 (though a DQ is much the same thing, only for QBus
instead of Unibus).

It is possible that it is 760K, I haven't looked up the model number on the
floppy drive in my 3068EP yet, I was just guessing due to the lateness of
the machine..

The auctions for Kevin Mitnick's two laptops have closed. One reached $15,200 and the other reached $14,100! The $14,100 didn't reach the minimum! That's got to be some kind of records for laptops! There's something very odd going on with the first auction, the winner and the seller both have -1 feedback ratings!

The all time classic scope has to be the Tektronix 465. It's the right vintage to go with most of the classic computers too.

A listmember and I met today, in a city in the middle of the USA, to
exchange some hardware. If you cctech-ers are wondering why you haven't got
list mail in several days, well, now you know the rest of the story. :-)
He got a Stardent deskside that I originally rescued from a Austin, Texas
auction block. He also got a complete Xerox 8010 of his that I had
transported and stored for him from elsewhere in the country.
I got a nearly-complete Symbolics 3650 system and a DEC Computer Lab. I've
always thought that LISP was an entertaining language, and that a LISP
machine would be equally entertaining (maybe bewildering). Now maybe I'll be
able to find out. Oh gods, that thing was heavy! But at least it came with a
very cool (albeit later-model) space cadet keyboard, like the one pictured
here:

DQ130 is a Dilog controller providing a Pertec 2x50-way interface for a
tape drive. I guess the other is a QIC-02 or similar interface. I always
get the QIC numbers confused. Which are the interface descriptions and
which are the tape formats?
