Went to an auction today and picked up a 1989 Sega Golden Axe arcade machine that seems to work (not fully tested yet). Looks like it's Version 1 of the game. There is some screen burn-in but it only cost $2.50 to win the bid so I can live with it. It took 8 guys lifting it to help me load it into my van and only two of us to unload it home. Anyone know the dip setting for free play on the machine? Thanks

MicroVax II, KZQSA, RZ74

by fire＠dls.net

I have read all the posts very carefully over the last few days. Because Vaxen are not my specialty I have to rely on other people's expertise in purchasing hardware. There seemed to be some debate as to whether the KZQSA can be used or not for hard drives. Has anyone else reading this list managed to conclude whether this will work or not? Will it fit in a BA23 cabnet? Will an RZ74 work with the MicroVax II if the board fits and is suitably configured? Thank you for a very interesting read about older DEC equipment. Bradley Slavik

OT: Network Solutions Threatens Your Privacy

by patrick＠evocative.com

I'm a little steamed. I just received an email from Network Solutions offering me a valuable new service: protection of my domain registration information from spammers. For the cost of just $5, my WHOIS contact information will be hidden so it can't be scraped by spammers and doesn't appear in the lists and exports they routinely create from the whois databases. A couple things about this really piss me off. First, NSI doesn't say explicitly, but it obvious during "checkout" on their site, that the cost is $5.00 PER DOMAIN. If you are, for example, like me, a designated technical contact for hundreds of domains that my customers register (often without my knowledge, even), then the annual cost of preserving my privacy is staggering. Second, NSI claims on the "product" information for this "service" that "ICANN requires this personal information to be available for anybody to view on the web." If that is the case, then how is even possible for them to charge me to not make my personal information public. This "service" seems like a gross abuse of the collected data and a complete breach of any ethics with respect to the handling of personal information associated with a domain registration. Am I being unreasonable about this? Patrick

I just received an email from Network Solutions >offering me a valuable new service: protection of my domain registration At first it sounds like they're asking for protection money or something, but think about this for a second. Your contact information must be available so that people know how to get in touch with you in the event of problems (I think there may even be an RFC on this). However, this same availability makes you a target for solicitation of great new offers. So in addition to all the anti-harvesting-crawler stuff (the OCR resistent gifs with one time access codes, etc), Registrars are offering a 'proxy' service where your information is not listed...rather the domain is managed by an abstracted management service that hides your real info and gives you an anonymous identity for things related to the domain. (I don't know if this is the way Netsol is doing it, but that's the way at least 2 others are doing it). As such, I can understand them charging for this since it is actually a service and not just "we'll cover up your info if you pay us". Now having said that, network solutions stinks...even though all the registrars seem to be getting better overall with all the competition. -Mike

FS: 2400 baud modems

by aw288＠osfn.org

OK, for those that were not turned away by the subject line... I have a small quantity of Western Electric 205B1 2400 baud modems available. These were designed in 1961 for use mainly on encrypted voice circuits, and were state of the art for at least a few years. They are 8U open rack (23 inch) chassis with a bunch of cards with typical "alien" looking WE transistors and discrete parts. My phone geek friend says they probably are not RS-232, so don't get any ideas. These specific units belonged to NASA, and were installed at Goddard Space Flight Center. I am not sure if they work - I am waiting for my phone geek friend to play with his. Maybe I should send him two... Any interest? Make offers. William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org

Used SCSI enclosures available

by vcf＠siconic.com

In light of recent requests, I gathered up the SCSI enclosures that I have laying around. Here's what I have off-hand: (3) Plastic enclosures with CN50 connectors (2) have 540MB drives (1) has a 6x read/2x write CD-RW drive (2) Metal enclosures with CN50 connectors (1) has a CD-ROM drive (1) has a 44MB SyQuest removeable carthridge drive (1) Metal enclosure with HD68 connector - contains a Seagate Barracuda ST34371W hard drive (2) Plastic enclosures with HD50 connectors - each contain an NEC MultiSpin 3X CD-ROM drive Please refer to this site for the connector types: http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/scsi_connecters.html I would want $5 for each enclosure. If you want the drive inside, add an additional $5. Otherwise I'll remove the drive to make it lighter for shipping. Shipping additional. PayPal makes the most sense. Let me know if there's any interest, of if there is a specific connector type you're looking for and I'll watch out for it. I also have a bunch of SCSI cables available. They're used, but I'll test them and sell them for far less than their typical going price.

Citizen HQP-40 24-pin dot matrix printer - FTGH

by shirker＠mooli.org.uk

Hi all, I have the above printer - it seems to have 'issues' as the "paper out" LED is always halfway lit and it will never come on-line. I've tried it with parallel and serial, no luck with either, it just doesn't want to know. It has tractor feed (80 columns). Strangely, the self-test does work OK, and the print seems to be fine quality. If this is of any use to anyone, you can have it for the cost of shipping (or come and collect). Item is located in West Yorkshire, UK. After two weeks, it goes in the bin - I haven't the space to keep it any longer. Regards, Ed.

FREE! PC III portable computer

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I picked this up today but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone wants it for the costs of shipping drop me a line BEFORE Saturday. It's a lunchbox type portable computer with a keyboard that detachs from one side. It has a red gas plasma screen, a 286-10 CPU and appears to have 1Mb of RAM. It has a hard drive (size unknown) and a 5 1/4" FD. There is a slot for a 3 1/2" FD. There are 8 16 bit ISA slots in it but some of them are inaccessable. There are five accessable slots but three of them are used. The screen appears to work but no text appears on it when I power it on. There's no drive activity so I think it has a POST problem. I put in a POST card and it sequencies through a lot of POST tests then starts showing 010, 000, 010, 000, etc. But it does appear to go through most of the POSTs I'm guessing that it's mostly functional. I don't know what BIOS it uses so I don't know what the codes mean. It may just need the CMOS batteries replaced or the DIP switches on the display card may have been monkeyed with and may not be set right. It's also missing two keys (F1 and - on the keypad). There's no name on it but a couple of the cards were made by Orchid so that might be the manufacturer. It's located in Orlando Fla (32765). Anybody want it? Joe

Okay - pseudo-newbie question - I know this has been answered multiple times - but damned if I can remember it and double-damned of I can find an answer... Where does one obtain the various .dsk, .tap, etc., files for E11? FTP from somewheres? Toggle them in bit-by-bit using the "F" keys as console switches? And while I understand the 'hobby use' version does not speak "SCSI Tape" - does this also hold true for SCSI 9trk emulating a TU77, or similar? Thanks all, and best of the Season! John

3M EMT EPROM programmer?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I went scrounging to day and found something that I don't recognize. It looks like it might be an EPROM programmer. Can anyone id this device? It's in a grey plastic box that looks like a tool box. The box measures about 11" x 6" x 5". Inside is a panel with elastimeric keys arranged in a 12 x 4 matrix. Above it is a ZIF socket with a MC 68766 installed. The 68766 is a 8 x 8k EPROM and is supposed to be Motorola's equivelent of the 2364. There is a built in power cord with a UK style power plug on it and a second cable that has a DB-25F connector on it. Inside the lid is a label that says "Refer to 3M EMY 9140 Field Service Handbook, Section 3, Subsection D, paragraph 1.0, for operating instructions. I searched the net for 3M EMT 9140 and similar strings but didn't find anything. Anyone know what this might be for? Joe

the computer gods giveth, and take away (mild humor/angst)

>It seems people who collect old computers also tend to collect >fire-arms. Old cars also seem to be popular among the classic computer set. Weird. Although I wasn't specifically a gun collector (they are a little harder to get in NJ, but not impossible), I did collect weapons in general. Oddly, I have recently given up that hobby, right about the same time that I started getting out of computer collecting as well. They must both operate from the same chunk of brain :-) And as for the old cars... ever since my 1965 T-Bird disaster, I have prefered to view them from a far and simply drool and wish I could have them. Although now that I have a house, garage, and driveway, I might take a serious look at getting something to restore (and finally have a hobby my wife will want to join me in!) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

the computer gods giveth, and take away (mild humor/angst)

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

Giveth: An old LA36 I got about 5 years ago, never even touched it, just pushed it into a corner. Tonight I was cleaning out the room where I house "finished systems", so sitting down for a rest I noticed the easy access door on the back. Opened it to see what the inside of an LA36 looked like. Neatly bundled up inside was an 8E async line interface card, complete with cable. Yay! Taketh Away: After working years on my HP2000 restoration, it's finally done, except for modifying the rails for the punch - but even with the wrong rails the punch sits in the rack nicely. So, you're never "done" with a system restoration, but I'm pretty much "done" with it. So, after cleaning out the room (aka shrine) it has been destined for all these years, I roll the nice double bay rack through the basement towards it's hallowed resting place... and stop cold at the doorway. The rack is too big to fit through the door and into the room. Not to be easily deterred, I looked around the door jam to see if I could take the door frame out and make it through. No dice, even if I took out the door frame. It's right on two studs, and the distance between studs is about 2 inches short. Tomorrow night I may well contemplate cutting the bottom of one of the studs off so the anti-tip ledge in front of the rack (a whole ledge, not a leg - and it's not removeable) can fit through. Hope that isn't a load bearing stud or whatever. *sigh* Jay West

MicroVax II question

by fire＠dls.net

I wanted to revive my MicroVax II (BA23 cabinet I think) and add RZ74 (4GB drive) to it. I am writing number from memory, perhaps I have made mistakes. Will this card on Ebay do the trick? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2775848822&category=1247… I believe this might be the easiest way to get SCSI support on my machine, but perhaps this card is incompatible, or drive is too big? I do not have a lot of experience with VMS but want to play around some on this smaller somewhat old equipment.' Bradley Slavik

reading apple ii disks with PCs: it WORKS

by silviorf＠yahoo.com

Hi all, The link for the "magical" software are: http://www.oldskool.org/disk2fdi/index_html For use with C64 disks, you'll have to make a little "hack" at the PC 5,25 drive. (it needs to spin at 300rpm, and almost all 5,25 drives will spin at defaut at 360rpm) For reading the flip side of the disk it's necessary an othe hack at the 5,25 drive. It's very simple, I've made it mysel without problems... If anyone wants some help on reading the disks, let me know... it's really simple. I have some images here that I extracted... if anyone want to "see" one of them, let me know too...

Wanted WD-100x disk controllers -- NOT for ISA bus

by Brett＠Kropf.com

Back about July 2002, you wrote: > Does anyone have any spare WD-1000, WD-1001, > or related disk controllers, or documentation on them? I have a WD1002-SASI (TAN) controller card in unknown condition. (The "TAN" is hand written, and is also written on a BIOS chip "Tan 5.0".) I purchased it used about 20 years ago to attempt to add a Hard Drive to a TI-99/4A, although I never actually started the project. I also have a 534 page Western Digital Corp. June 1984 Storage Management Products Handbook that includes data on the following "Winchester Board Products": WD1000-05 WD1001 WD1002-05 WD1002-MTB WD1002-SHD WD1002-WFT WD1002-WX2 The WD1002-SHD (at least) has data regarding the SASI port. If interested, make me a serious offer, and include your ZIP-Code to determine shipping.

Lot of 6 Z-89s, 2 VT100s, VT180, other terminals, DEC floppy drives available in LA (ebay)

by wmaddox＠pacbell.net

Saw this on Ebay. With about seven hours to go the bidding is ridiculously low. The guy wants a local pickup in Los Angeles. If I lived in LA, I'd put in a decent bid on this stuff, planning to sell off most of it individually. If any enterprising soul who does live in the LA area gets the same idea, I bet he'd have a customer already for a VT100 and a Z-89. :) --Bill OLD COMPUTER LOT, DEC, ZENITH, TELERAY++ - NR Item number: 2764800262 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2764800262&category=4017…

'Free to a good home'

by PeksaDO＠Cardiff.ac.uk

My, I've never been so popular. Sorry to disappoint overseas subscribers but I would really not like to even think of the transportation logistics. I've e-mailed the lucky winners (Dan & Pete) who were selected on a first come first served basis and the fact that they will pick them up. Forgot to mention that the PDP11/04 also has a GT40 & light pen. For those who asked - It's a space issue and the realisation (after collecting for 18 years - yes it took that long) that I can't keep everything and don't have the time to keep everything in good working order. The Perq provided many months of entertainment and the PDP11/04 many years - but I haven't used the Perq seriously for a number of years and the PDP11/04 at all since the RK11D broke in 2000. I shall seriously miss running ADVENT on a UNIBUS PDP sitting at the LA36 console wearing my ear defenders. I shall also miss LANDER which ran on the GT40 and was controlled by the lightpen. McDonalds get everywhere don't they ;-). Anyway I hope the new owners have as much fun with them as I did. Doug. PS There will be more stuff at a later date.

Ah, did you mean that you meant "controller" instead of drive? Then you need to read the docs that accompany the software :-) -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Looking for a copy of EK-KA630-UG

by msokolov＠ivan.Harhan.ORG

Hello folks, Would there happen to be some kind soul out there with a copy of DEC manual EK-KA630-UG willing to make a xerox copy of it for me? I will reimburse you for the cost of xeroxing, mailing, and your time, and even reward you extra for your service to humanity. It's the KA630 (MicroVAX II) CPU user's guide, actually a technical manual as it was created back in the days when user's guides contained real information. TIA, MS
