Erik,
I have one and I think I have the manual for it. IIRC it's all menu
driven, (pick the manufacturer then the EPROM number) and it programs 2716
to 27256 (or 27512?) type EPROMs.

Hi all !
Just a question which I'm quite curious about:
Is it possible to use my VAX 4000/200 as a web-server ?
That way, I could provide my future site about my collection by using parts of it ;)
This, of course, would mean the VAX running 24h a day.
SCSI-disks would certainly be a better choice than my SDI-disks in order to avoid a crash...
Is my VAX with its 5 VUP and 32MB RAM fast enough to run a webserver ?

Found some "semi-interesting" machines this week:
- IBM PC/AT with all IBM components, nearly pristine shape excluding
some scratches on the bottom; only missing a couple of screws and the
hard drive. It's got the real-deal IBM 5.25" floppy and 3.5" floppy
drives (1200KB/DSHD and 720KB/DSDD, right?)
- IBM PS/2 Model 90, missing hard drive and RAM, but I should be able
to replace those with other parts. I'm hoping to get OS/2 2.1 running
on this.
And, something a bit more interesting which I actually "paid money" for:
- DEC VAX 11/750 with 8MB ram, floating point accelerator, 1kW PCS
version of the microcode store card, Massbuss and two Unibus adaptor
cards, and the onboard unibus is complete with a TU80K-CP TU80
controller, DMF32 async + printer port card, and DZ11-A serial card.
A question about the TU80K-CP: I've heard that it's a DEC re-badged
version of a DILOG PERTEC card, with custom firmware so that it only
will talk to a TU80. Does anyone have the DILOG firmware that I can
put onto it to make it talk to a "standard" PERTEC 9track tape drive?
Also, I'm looking for
1) UNIBUS ethernet card - DEUNA or DELUA or similar
2) Different firmware for the TU80K, or a TU80 within a couple hours of
here or a different PERTEC card... Actually I might have what I need
for the card already..hmm. But I still need to get a drive for it,
anyhow.
3) An UNIBUS SMD disk interface and/or ST506 disk interface
4) RL11 interface (RL02/RL01 drive controller)

Well, yeah, how else?... Aren't you already using your VAXen for all your most
essential mission-critical applications, as your sole computing platform and as
your main servers, as you should be? Well, OK, I guess not everyone is like
me... I do just the above. I have *NO* computers other than Classic ones.

I use SDI disks exclusively and have been doing so since 1999.

P.S. But then again, I'm not like most people. I'm a lot more principled.
Yes, if you can (and should be able to) get a console prompt, the
method I used was to do
SET UAFALT 1
CONTINUE
which set the authorize file to the alternate, which on our systems
did not exist. Then when you enter system as the login id, any
password works.
I did not know about the method of setting the console to startup,
it sounds like another, better way.
In my way, you have to play around in sysgen and swap the authorize
files around after you get on, but still, any port in a storm.

No, the Oregon PDP is also barely recognizeable. The PDP-7 was originally
meant to be scrapped (was laying around) but it was salvaged by Professor
Nordhagen, and ccmaniac librarian Knut Hegna (who has some other minis
next to the PDP-7) when the new library building was built in 1987.
The last trace of usage I have is 1976.

I have three sets of wrap lists. My intention (bad idea?) was to wrap
an original PDP-7/A, instead of one with ECOs - and later apply
any crucial ECOs I came across. (Al, do you have any?)
I could probably cook up some program that would give me schedules
based on wire lists (if I am understanding the concept of 'schedule' correctly
as something describing the order in which the wires are to be wrapped)
The PDP-7 ended up with several ADC's, apparently it had a plotter,
an IPB, a 'poor man's API', and so on. Some EE students aparently
kept it alive during its last days, but gave up, and returned it to the
Good Professor which originally bought it, and let me work on it.
He put it in storage, and it's now an exhibit.
Funny how PDP-7's tend to turn up vacantly sitting in corners, isn't it...? :)

Yes, it was a fairly successful machine. I've heard that the first WWW server at
CERN actually was an ND machine, which wouldn't surprise me, given
the close cooperation the two institutions enjoyed. (I've heard.)
I was yesterday at the Norwegian museum of technology, (I may be working
with them on another restoration project - IBM 360/370-ish - but that is
entirely in the future and no deals have been made yet - if this is happening,
I will of course post immediately to cctech ;)) and amongst some neat exhibits
(Jaquard loom, IBM 650 (You should have seen me - crawling down, looking
at interiors and drum)) I saw a NORD-1. I don't know much about the machine,
but I do know that the one 7 was hooked up to had three 9-tracks, 16k core, but
not a very good display - the PDP-7 was later used as something of an intelligent
terminal and data-gatherer, hooked up to some (apparently brilliant) Italian ADCs,
and letting the NORD-1 do the numbercrunching.
The NORD-1 used IC's, and came with a line printer, that's about all I know. I do
seem to remember a 16-bit word length, though. The NORD-1 was a commercially
successful machine, and earned ND quite a lot of money. I believe it was the
NORD-100 which really got ND off to a start - but that's from doubleplusvague
memory. I'll get around to translating that page :)
Back to the wire-wrapping thing: Is it really that bad? There are admittedly a lot
of wires on it, but it doesn't seem all too hard (especially with an electric wrapper!)
Am I wrong, and am I not weighing the effort correctly? Is it harder than soldering?
The pins are not small, they are about 2mm x 1mm from memory measurement.
I thank everyone offering me wrappers!
Whew!
Thanks for all your help, people :)

I don't need a data book for that one :-) It's the base member of the
Intel 8051 family, also known as the MCS-51 family, which is an
enhanced version of the 8048 family of microcontrollers. IIRC it has
some extra instructions and addressing modes.
The 8031 is the version without on-board ROM. Philips was one of

I need $40 badly. I am considering selling my KDA50
boards with those internal cables, and a pair of iron
covers. Do they worth $40? If not I would like to keep
them because without these power consumers my VAX3900
won't boot. Without them the VAX3900 looks less and
less like a 3900 though it consists of a bare cage
without rack and front door anyway.

Got a call last week from a local vendor who remembered that I was looking
for a 7 track drive. He found two (!) as they were going through their inventory.
They are EXACTLY what I have been trying to find for a long, long time..
HP7970 tension arm drives with DUAL MODE 7/9 track head assemblies! They are
capable of reading anything from 7trk 200bpi to 9trk 1600 bpi tapes.
I won't say how much they were (they weren't cheap) but as part of the deal
he let me go through some of his head stack spares, and I found 14 dual mode

Radio Days or High-Tech, It's All the Same
By NEIL GENZLINGER
THOSE of you who are still hoping that computers,
cellphones, digital cameras and other modern gadgetry
are passing fads and that we will soon return to the
simpler days of a half-century ago might have been
dismayed with what Phil Vourtsis had on display at the
David Sarnoff Library the other day.
The event was a combination exhibition and
radio-repair clinic, with members of the New Jersey
Antique Radio Club doing the honors. Mr. Vourtsis, the
club's president and the author of ''The Fabulous
Victrola 45,'' had a display related to the dear
departed 45-r.p.m. record that was fascinating and
hilarious, but also depressing.
The hilarity came from a 1949 promotional film in
which an impossibly earnest fellow was extolling the
virtues of this new way to listen to music.
''Distortion-free records!'' he exclaimed. And
indestructible. ''Bend 'em, bounce 'em; nothing
happens!''
The depressing part was Mr. Vourtsis' sampling of
newspaper articles from the period. It turns out the
innocent little 45 wasn't so innocent after all; it
was part of a war between RCA-Victor (which made many
of its breakthroughs at labs in New Jersey) and
Columbia for the ears of America. The new 45 from RCA
was competing with a seven-inch disc Columbia had just
introduced as well as Columbia's LP's, and all were
different from older-style records - different speeds,
different needles, different players.
''The record-playing public,'' read one account,
''which buys from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 new disks
a year, is faced with three mutually exclusive methods
of reproducing music from records. Neither of the two
new records can be played on conventional phonographs
or radio-phonographs, nor can either be used on
competing record-playing machines.''
It sounded, in other words, dismayingly like the
technological warfare that bedevils us today: VCR's
vs. assorted types of DVD's, CD's vs. MP3's, Windows
vs. Macs, attachments that won't open, digital cameras
that won't download. Evidently there never really was
a simpler time; products have always tried to push one
another out of the marketplace, and frustrated
consumers have always been left to play catch-up.
''Only today the turnaround on a product is much
faster,'' Mr. Vourtsis said.
His club (www.njarc.org) has about 200 members, and
watching them have fun with antique radios and other
ancient technology makes you wonder what people will
be doing a few decades hence with old cellphones.
(Notice how primitive the ones from the 90's already
look?) Lately, for instance, they've been having a
contest to see who can pick up the most distant radio
signal on a vintage receiver. When conditions are
right, noise from Chicago or Canada or Mexico might
squawk through the classic sets.
At the Sarnoff event, in Princeton, the club's experts
ran a repair clinic where people could bring old
radios for free doctoring. Some who brought in sick
sets were fellow hobbyists, but others were hoping to
revive a personal keepsake.
A lot of old radios are being unearthed these days in
New Jersey and everywhere else as the radio-crazy
generation dies off and its offspring inherit attics
full of stuff. Mr. Vourtsis said that at first the
repair clinics were just for club members, but then it
seemed there might be laymen out there in need of
vacuum-tube and soldering-gun assistance.
''It's pretty rewarding when we're able to help them
out because they feel like they've reconnected with
something from their childhood,'' he said.
Certain radios can be worth thousands of dollars, he
said, though many more models were just as
mass-produced as anything today and are worth less
than a first-generation digital camera. Also, some
antique sets might prefer to remain idle. For
instance, someone once brought in an Emerson Catalin
that gave Mr. Vourtsis pause.
''It was the kind of thing where I really didn't want
to get the radio working again because heat from the
radio could damage the cabinet,'' he said, ''and with
the Catalin that's where the value is.''
One other booth from the Sarnoff event is worth
mentioning, what with Valentine's Day not far off. It
was a display of valentines, sheet music and such with
radio themes, from the days when radio was new.
''There's a Wireless Station Down in My Heart,'' was
one song title. A card read, ''Over the radio you can
hear me pine, I want you for my Valentine.''
Apparently, linking romantic sentiments to the
high-tech device of the moment gives them extra
credibility. So here's an assignment for the season:
Use the words iPod, memory stick, mini-DVD and MP3 in
a love poem. Give it to your sweetie. Then duck.
This may or may not be close to the ten-year rule - but anyway:
I am having a NEC Pent II computer, very fancy dark blue/charcoal case
with a curved front panel running in guides that slides up and down, and
the LCD status display, CDROM and Floppy drives all in a removable 'pod'
that clips to the op front of the case. This attaches with a connector
that is the same as is used nowadays for a SCSI II cable. And there is a
similar connector on the card that drives all this stuff (the pod is
conneccted thru a ribbon/header) the motherboard has the usual IDE ports
and this particular machine boots and runs. It runs Win98, soon to be
transmogrified into some dialect of Linux.
The only readable info on the card is:
Packard Bell NEC (Lo! how the MIghty have fallen!)
PB-IRISA-Rev:D
PB-0081-1
So I'm wondering if anyone might know the specifics of this, and
especially if it is indeed SCSI, or just a case of connector mix-up.
Thanks!
Cheers

My personal account has done similarly well though after a while the spam
count started creeping back up, but its still at a very manageable level.
Instead of having to wade through hundreds of spams every 2-3 days when I
would check that account, it's now maybe 10-15.
Question: has anyone been able to make SpamAssassin be "perfect" (i.e. no
spam at all)?
Anyway, the reason for this message, other than to claim (for now) victory
against spam, is to let people know that if they do have trouble

Whilst browsing, I came across this list of computers for sale in the UK:
http://www.jcec.co.uk/Compsale.html
There are a lot of gems there. The site says the systems will be
auctioned off "over the next few months" so I don't know if this is old
and stale or still on-going.
The parent site seems interesting as well:
Japanese Computer Emulation Centre
http://www.jcec.co.uk
The home page has a link to the seller's eBay auctions (which is invalid,
so do a search on seller "j0nstringer") and it looks like he's been
selling off quite a bit of classic micro stuff for the past several
months.

those :-) can't hurt to ask.

Hello!
I sent an email about a month or two back to Al Kossow saying that I was starting work on the PDP-7 again. With ungodly timing I proceeded to come down with the flu, travel abroad, and move. So here I am again. ;)
I have come to the conclusion after some wire-tracing and so on, that this machine is smoking crack, and that very little is where it should be (except for core memory, everything seems right there). The processor has been modified ad nauseum, of course without documentation of any kind.
Therefore, I need to take out all the modules, all the wires, and start afresh (might be a good idea, anyway - - this way I can clean all the contacts properly). Thus, I need a wire-wrapping tool. Does anyone here have one?
TIA

all the stuff here, but at least it is a start :). There is still about
1/3 of the space left in the dumpster and the project for the next day
is to fill it!
I found several Wang monitors, another NS Horizon, more IBM mono, CGA,
and PGA monitors, some NIB TI floppy disks, bunches of PC cards, another
ADM3, and a bunch of other stuff I hadn't seen in a while. This actually
gets to be fun seeing this stuff again ... almost like finding it out in
the wild :).
Worked fine several years ago, but now posts a 201 error and screen
distortion in the corner. Has one floppy and one hard drive. In good shape, looks like
it got dropped on a corner before the time I got it.
$3 gets it.

But I have no choice. The processor was modified with an improvised
API, and half of this was later removed (leaving the processor useless)
Also, an IPB (Inter-Processor Buffer) was made,
which connected it to a NORD-1, a not-quite-mini, not-quite-mainframe
machine. This has also, of course, been removed.
The CPU and IO planes, are, in short, FUBAR.
I have complete documentation of the wires, and of module locations,
they are all documented clearly in F-77 Maintenance Manual (which
you have on your site). They are easy to read, and give a complete
schematic of both the backplane, and the module locations.
There is 0% chance as is.

This is a REALLY REALLY REALLY bad idea.
It is hightly doubtful that someone completely rewired the backplane of this system.
If you start ripping out wires, there is 0% chance this system will ever run again.

Several years ago I lent a friend an ADM-3 Terminal he needed for a project.
Yesterday he gave it back to me - along with "interest" ;-)
Here's the goodies he gave me:
IMSAI 8080 (with a perfect front panel)
IMSAI 8080 (with video console)
Digital Microsystems DSC-2
TEI S-100 bus system
Godbout S-100 Dual Chassis system w/HDD
Poly88 (Original "orange" chassis, keyboard, etc.)
FDE S-100 system (not a complete name - it just escapes me at the moment)
(2) Spare Shugart (SA800) - one is brand new in original box
Spare chips, ROMS, etc.
Literally hundreds of 8" CP/M disks
Documentation on all of the above
Thanks, Dave, for all the goodies!!!!

Anyone interested in that may also be interested in a similar effort
of mine, the "Classic Computer Rescue Squad", located at this URL:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~yakowenk/classiccmp/ccrs_list.html
Since I'll probably be doing an update soon, this may be a good time
to glance at your existing entries, and let me know if they need any
changes.
Cheers,
Bill.

In cleaning out some stuff, I ran across a UCC 1035 Terminal (printer w/
keyboard) A quick Google check didn't bring up anything about this. Is
this something worth saving, or should it hit the dumpster?

Did you see the three Bulletin manuals in
http://www.pdp8.net/pdp8cgi/query_docs/query.pl?Search=teletype
They have exploded diagrams. See secton *-121-* in each of the three manuals.

The link above has these manuals. I wonder if they are selling my scans or
did their own.

Have any PDP-8 stuff you're willing to part with?
Someone bought (or will be buying) everything as a lot; I'm keeping a few of
the handbooks where I have multiple copies and will be sending those to the
particular people interested in those specific titles. Thanks, and I'm glad
to see all this going to a good and proper home.

You can't have looked very hard :-) The Technical Manuals have been on
David Guesswein's site for a very long time, the schematics are a
slightly more recent addition, and they're all also on Kevin
McQuiggin's site.
Look at either

I've tried before, but here it goes again :
Free to a good home :
One Tek 8002 microprocessor lab, with software.
Used for games development.
No documentation, but then there is always Al Kossow...
Pods for 8080,6802 and Z80.
Never powered on by me.
Matching Tek4024 Terminal (nonfunctional)
Will be dismantled if no takers. Will use the 8" floppy
drives to repair the failing ones in my DSD440.
Where : Zurich, Switzerland.
Why : as always, no place , no time, too many projects.

Another oddity at the computer museum at Bletchley which I unfortunately
didn't get much chance to look over (if there is interest I'll get
better details later in the week).
It's a Philips machine with twin 8" floppy drives - I'm told a dedicated
wordprocessor, but I'm wondering if it isn't a full-blown CP/M system.
Looks to be circa 1980 anyway.
As with the IBM, we need the space in the museum, so it's into storage
for it, or ask and see if anyone wants to give it a home. Comes with a
terminal (I need to check and see if it's a full-blown Philips terminal
or just a custom console for the main system box), Philips printer, and
a whole pile of floppy disks.
No idea of working state on this one; powering up without a boot disk
gave a screen full of z's, so there's some basic functionality working
at least...
Anyone interested in giving it a home?
cheers
Jules
