A few corrections/additions to the Kerrville inventory

by sales＠elecplus.com

AT&T CRT 313-B which actually went to an old 286 computer 53D410 YAA, with a base of some sort Unix PC 8646 with attached monitor That's all I see right now for AT&T. These terminals were used on 3B2 machines sometimes, and I have 2 legal-size paper boxes full of documentation and binders, some never opened. I do not have any more of the 3B2 machines though.

System 370 error, very sorry

by sales＠elecplus.com

The System 370 was an error. What they actually are is 5 legal-size paper boxes of 8" floppies that were used by a company for backup on a System 36. There are also "magazines" that hold 10 of these disks each. There does not appear to be any original system software, just used disks, which are prob of interest to someone who needs 8" floppies. You are welcome to post anything anywhere you want, since I want these things to go to a good home, instead of the scrap pile.

P112 question - what can you run that uses 1MB of RAM?

There were various packages specific to the Amstrad PCW that could make use of the up to 2Mb it could take. There were task switchers like Network (which allowed switching between multiple CP/M programs) and Flipper (which allowed switching between multiple operating systems). The DTP package MicroDesign used the memory to store the page it was working on. Then there's my contributon: ZXZVM runs an Infocom Z-Code game, using the extra memory to store the game file and the up to 64k of RAM that the virtual machine requires. -- John Elliott

Those TI 1500 machines...

by derschjo＠gmail.com

The TI 1500 series UNIX machines that Isnagged off eBay a couple weeks back finally arrived on my doorstep this morning. Floating in a sea of packing peanuts in very battered boxes. *sigh*. I feared the worst but they appear to have made it more or less in one piece. Only casualty was one of the front plates (plastic) which looks like it'll be fine after some supergluing. These things are built like tanks. As the eBay listing specified, there are no hard drives. The pictures on the auction made it look like there was a drive included in one of the machines, but this was apparently removed before shipping. I was kind of hoping there'd be a drive but oh well. At least it's got a standard SCSI interface. Now to find some actual software for this thing, I'm sure that'll be easy ;). Other than that, the machines are completeand seem to be functioning properly (see the end of this mail for some diagnostic output porn, if you're into that sort of thing.) The larger of the two (it's just slightly taller than the other) has no model designation on the front (the shorter says "TI 1500 Computer", but both of them are labeled as S1505s on the rear, with S1507 processors and differing options installed. The taller POSTs as a 1507, the shorter as a 1505. Dates on EPROMs are from the early 90s. (91 and 92). The taller (1507) has a 68040 CPU (25Mhz), 64mb of RAM (30-pin 4mb simms, parity), a Communications co-processor, ethernet, and a couple of other communications adapters(a "Multidrop\V.35 and some misc "Comm Carrier" boards). Looks like the 68040 is an upgrade of sorts (looks to be official) -- the two machines have the same motherboard, but the 68040 is on a daughterboard that plugs into the 68030 socket. The shorter (1505) has a 68030 (25Mhz) with 68882and only8mb of RAM (30-pin 1mb simms, parity). Aside from a"Comm Carrier" board it also has an 8-channel async serial boardwith 8 MMJ connectors on the rear. Near the bottom on the rear there is a pair of ports (DB-25 and MMJ) labeled "DIAG PORT." I connected a standard DEC MMJ to it and at 9600N7 I get diagnostic output(see below). Other interesting things of note: There are a lot of 68K-series processors in these machines. Aside fromthe main 68040 CPU, there are two 68000 CPUs on the motherboard, one for COMM I/O, the other for SCSI (they're neatly labeled). The Communications coprocessor board contains an additional 68010. Diags indicate that the boards are Nubus, though they don't use the standard connector I'm familiar with. Looks more like PCI/microchannel. That's all for now. I've taken some pictures which I'll post later. If anyone wants more details, let me know. And if anyone knows where to find OS tapes for thisthing, I'm all ears.

A few corrections/additions to the Kerrville inventory

by sales＠elecplus.com

The IBM System 370 software is an error. There are a hundred or more 8" floppy diskettes, some in "magazines" that were used as backups on a System 36. Occupies about 5 legal-size paper boxes. There does not appear to be any original software. AT&T 3B2 software and documentation, 2 legal size paper boxes, much of the documentation is still sealed. Sorry, I do not have any more of the 3B2 machines. Large qty of 360K and 1.2MB floppy drives, and 360kb new blank diskettes in 10-packs. TI 99/4A, 1 still in original box, several out of box, extra AC adapters, small amt of software. Commodore 64, 1 still in box, several out of box, couple of disk drives, etc. Bring software to test. LOTS of color and mono 9-pin monitors, a few still new in box. LOTS of dumb terminals, some kbds. A few Atari game systems, extra AC adapters, etc. Bring games to test. ISA and PCI cards, thousands of them, plus "newer" AGP video cards. Several boxes of CPU chips, from 80386 and 80387 thru P4. Motherboards, new and used, from 386 to Quad core P4. Thousands of cables, etc. Over 10,000 square feet to look through, I look forward to seeing you! Email inquiries welcome.

To: bdamer at digitalspace.com panded to false Hi Bruce, My brother in law's estate has a lot of PTP11 stuff, hardware stuff, manuals and literature. That stuff began to become obsolete and he could get it for almost nothing at the swap meets and he would come back with car loads of it. I am not a computer guy, I know nothing, I mean zero, about the products of the Digital Equipment Corporation but I would hate to see stuff going to landfill that somebody would really want or treasure. It would require somebody to inspect all the stuff to find if there was anything of interest in it. None of us have any idea of what he had or where it is. It is a real pig in the poke. Still, if somebody has real interest, have them get in contact with me and maybe we can come up with some plan. I am sorry, but I just don't have an inventory of what he has. Nor has anybody else.

AT&T 3B2/500 needs a new home

by corey＠electricware.com

I have an AT&T 3B2/500 that needs a new home. I've had it since it was pulled from service about 13 years ago. It's in great cosmetic shape and would make a great addition to the right person's collection. I don't know how much memory it has or the size of the hard drive, and I haven't personally fired it up. If interested, please drop me a note, otherwise it's going to get recycled. I live in the Portland, Oregon area and would prefer to have someone pick it up and I'm not really interested in shipping it. Thanks, Corey.

Paging NE-Z80 owners! Paging NE-Z80 owners!

by rrr_lopes＠yahoo.com.br

Hi Alexandre! I did not had a NE-Z80 but an early model TK-82C. It had a SLOW function at the keyboard but it lacks the circuitry to proper respond to it.I can say it used a copy of the ZX-81 EPROM. When later I built a SLOW pig board circuit it worked as expected on original ZX-81. The TK-82C and NE-Z80 circuit was identical to ZX-80. And behave like the ZX-80 if you adapt it's EPROM to those. What Microdigital (TK-82) and Prologica (NE-Z80) did on those time was use standard parts. Copying the ZX-80 circuit to avoid the custom chip used in ZX-81. So , Yes, you can use the ZX-81 ROM image in a NE-Z80 as it had the same and exactly content. The ZX clones started to differ from the original when they started producing TK-85, CP-200 and others.

Is it the ZX-81 ROM, or a modified one? ? ? Thanks ? ? Alexandre Souza

IRIX remote display

by joerg.sigle＠jsigle.com

Hi Scott, I have often used IRIX 6.5 clients on Linux/nvidia X11 servers (and probably the other way round). One special thing is accelerated 3D with OpenGL vs. IrisGL: Newer SGI applications (=clients) use OpenGL, these have worked without a problem. But older SGI applications use IrisGL, the predecessor of OpenGL. When I tried it last a few years ago, these would only say: "server does not support IrisGL" or the like. There's another issue related to nfs networking between Irix and Linux (needs -o proto=tcp or proto=udp or similar, I always forget it and have to look it up...). Without the option, only minimal transfers will work, whereas even a longer directory listing or - certainly - a file transfer beyond a few KB would cause the connection to stall. But I have no indication that anything similar would apply to X11 as well.
