Is there actually a demand for these kinds of things anyway? I happen to
work at the company known as the former CDC and we have a lot of this stuff
around...in fact, we still support a lot of it. The Cyber 675 is still in
use!
Would this stuff be worthwhile trying to rescue from the 'scrap heap'? I
also have lots of CDC branded merchandise...

I added descriptions to the pictures and integrated the VCF 6 stuff with
the rest of my site. Feel free to check out
www.vintage-computer.com/vcf6.shtml and please let me know what you
think, especially if I missed something, misidentified someone or
otherwise messed up.
The show was truly awesome this year. I can't wait to hear the
attendance numbers from Sellam. I'm pretty sure records were broken.
The displays were amazing, as always, and the computers were incredible
as well. It's fun to realize that you were in the same building as 3 of
the maybe 30 or 40 remaining Apple Is in existence. There were two
equally rare Mark-8s in attendance and several other machines that you
just don't see every day.
Thanks!

Didn't anybody answer this? I've got a small Apple ][ card which might
be its twin...
Mine says "APPLE 2/3 XEBEC INTERFACE REV1" on the top edge. It has a
6522 VIA chip, some LSTTL, 2732 EPROM, a RAM chip, a couple of 74S240s,
and a terminator pack next to a 26-pin header. I don't know what this
is supposed to connect to; it might be SASI (it has just about enough
pins and just about enough I/O), and that's certainly what Xebec were
famous for.
>>
Isn't this used for the Sider hard drive? If so, I have both parts but just
need a cable.
I recently got an old Adds Regent 30 terminal (it says "Honeywell" on
the front, must have been rebadged). I have repaired the electronics (I
took pictures and documented the process, I'll put it on my website
when it's ready), and the terminal works now. It was extremely filthy,
however, and I cleaned up the outer shell with a little windex with no
problems, but the brown plastic around the monitor and the keyboard was
very sticky. I tried cleaning the plastic around the keyboard with just
plain water, and with Windex, but it was still very sticky. I tested
some Goo Gone on the back of the part, and it didn't damage anything,
so I used it on the front. It appears that the paint is coming off. The
Goo Gone made it come off a little, and I noticed that on the rest of
it, just rubbing it with my finger could cause the paint to come off.
It appears that whatever grime got onto the terminal ate away at the
paint, as the paint on the inside does not have this problem. Here's my
question - what is the best way to go about painting things like this?
It was originally a dull finish (I think), do they make spray paint
that has similar properties? Does it come in "Honeywell Brown"? Has
anyone had experience painting plastics, or repainted any computer
cases before? Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds plausible. Mine came on its own, no cables, no drive, so I'd be
interested to know what's "inside the box". I assume an ST506 drive, a
PSU, a Xebec card, and probably something to connect a ribbon cable to.
Is there a connector on the outside of the drive box? If so, what type
is it? We could probably work out the pinout required.

This one's barely on-topic, as it has a silkscreen legend which states

couple of Actel FPGAs on it, and space for another similar-sized IC,
three 75160 interface ICs next to a 26-pin male box header, spaces for
8 ZIP devices (RAM?), and spaces for two miniDIN sockets (an 8-pin and

Anyone have any idea what it might be?

In cleaning out some of my old stuff, I ran across a Diamond Stealth 64
PCI VGA card. What makes it interesting is that it's got a full size 15
pin d-sub connector instead of the 9 pin size, high density 15 pin d-sub
connector.
The chipset is an S3 Vision968.
Anyone that's interested can have it for the cost of shipping.

Hello. I just ran across a message where you were asking someone else if
they still had any Roland LAPC-1 cards.
I have one that has been on my shelf for years. Do you want it?
As far as I know it works, but it hasn't been in a PC in over 8 years.
I'll mail it to you if you'd like. If it works, you can give me whatever
you think it's worth. If not, you can just have it. :-)
The board has the following inscription on it:

Can you identify any sources for floppy drive alignment tools similar to Floppy Tune that was put
out by Data Depot of Clearwater, FL? That company tells me its product has not been available for
more than a year and it is not certain when, if at all, it will again become available? With what I
recall I paid for the same, it would be worthwhile to buy either another copy or a competitor's
produce since the drive I need to realign is in a laptop computer and thus would, unless I could
find a "junked" computer with the same floppy drive that still works, cost as much to replace as
what I originally paid for the laptop itself as I bought it used.
Thanks

Oh drool. It's more than a souped up 11/780, but I guess in this company
it's a fair description. :-) If noone goes for it, I'd love to get my
hands on the cards (especially memory). Update have one 8650 up and
running 24/7 with NetBSD. I'm about to embark on an ambitious project of
getting the device driver from Ultrix working in NetBSD, if someone else
feels like joining in...
Does anyone have any good ideas what the problem can be if an 8650 have
problems booting the FE, by the way? It fails about 50% of the time. I've
checked all cables, tried two different FEs, tried different RL02 drives
and packs. Different controllers.
When I get an error, it's a problem with the RL02. That much I can tell
>from the error, but unfortunately, that specific error is actually not
mentioned in the DEC documentation for the 8650.
The only thing I just realized I haven't swapped is the Q-bus backplane...

Hi,
I have an old (1971) HP2100 mini system and reel tape unit taken up space here and wonder if you are interested in it. For more information on the system see http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/hp2100s.htm
The system was previously used at ESTEC (http://www.estec.esa.nl/) after which it was donated to my school which threw it away. Being a scavenger at the time I decided to take it with me and it has been in my possesion since.

If you're running them as a LAVC (Local Area VAXCluster, used to be any
cluster using Ethernet instead of CI) then this was done all the time
and I'm sure still is. They probably haven't called them LAVC's for
years and years, though.
If you're saying you're going to interconnect the backplanes per the
discussion here and in MicroNote #26, then if people did it it was a
not a very common thing. And as others have pointed out, the normal
OS candidates won't have support for it. That's not a reason to stop
the project, just be aware of the necessary effort.

So it took about 10 minutes from your mailer to my ISP (give or take a
little, allowing for possible lack of clock sync) fo this one. Next
time you see a delay, look at the message headers and you'll see where
the delay is. In this case, most of the 10 minutes is at panix.com.

A friend of mine is looking for a mouse for his
Macintosh Plus.
It would be a non-ADB Mouse, with the 9-pin Connector
on it (similar to a PC-Style Serial Connector).
Please contact me if you have one to help my friend
out...
Also, if anyone wants it... I have a Mac 128 (I
think..) for grabs. It is just the case, logic board
and Video Tube. It doesn't have a floppy drive or
analog board or other parts...
Perfect for a MacQuarium..
LOL!!

Hi all
I saved a whole stash of BBC stuff. Two Masters, one with the 80186
coprocessor. Four or maybe 5 disk drives (I think the 5th is a 3.5")
Lots and lots of software and docs.
Now, I'm not much into BBCs. Anyone out there who can use this stuff
better than I can? (I do need a WD1770, but it's a bit OTT to strip
a BBC to get one chip).
Oh yes, and the catch -- I'm in Cape Town, South Africa.

Hello. I' in the process of moving, and the storage space I thought I had did
not materialize, so...
If there is anyone in the southeastern MA/RI area that can pick up some of
these machines, they are yours for the taking (mostly Tandy 1000 and Apple
stuff). They are located in Taunton, MA, but I can also bring them to Fall
River, MA, where I now live. I only have about a week tops to get rid of this
stuff. If anyone is interested but can't pick the stuff up in a week, I may be
able to hold on to it for a short while longer. Unfortunately, I won't be able
to ship anything at this time. You can view the list of stuff at
http://www.ovay.com/list.txt and I'll be updating it when stuff goes. Email me
at ccmp(a)ovay.com and I'll get back to you. Thanks so much for reading this.

That would be interesting - looking forward to comments from

On a related note, I there's a MicroNote about running multiple
MicroVAX II CPUs (KA630, M7606) in a single backplane. Up to 4
in fact (MicroNote #26, on www.ibiblio.org). Has anyone on the

There is a lot of stuff that is unlabled and not in drawers. Also I have
no way of guaranteeing what is in each drawer to verify the accuracy of
the label. Again if you are interested I can take some pictures and send
them to you.

Hi all,
I picked up a couple of Pro-Log M900, M920 and M980 programmers lately. I want to burn some BiPolar PROMs and I need a Pro-Log PM 9048 "Intel Generic" personality module. It will look something like this
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/pro-log/person-harris.jpg>. I'm also looking for other Pro-Log parts and I have parts to trade so if you have anything that you're willing to part with send me a list. Here's more pictures on my Pro-Log stuff. No text or descriptions yet, just pictures.

Joe, Et Al;
I have a Pro-Log M980 with a PM9080 Personality Module and two PA28-80B's and a PA40-80a also have the M304 RS232 Commnication Adaptor and a board marked "PROM PRGM SOCKET" with a 16 pin and a 24 Pin zip socket that plugs into an interfacecard [has two sets of 28 pin PIN's on back] but I dont have a board to plug it into. I need to find a GENERIC Module or a PM9059 for Intersil 82s123's.
I hope someone out there can help.

AFAIK, everything's on topic, but if not, oops...
Been doing more basement cleaning, and have some stuff for giveaway (with
more to come). Cost: Cost of actual shipping.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
MicroSoft Visual C++ Version 1.0 SDK manuals (all of 'em -- comes up about
kneehigh to me!) - Cost could be prohibitive via UPS, but at least in the
USA, Postal Service "Book Rate" should be affordable, even if it takes a
while...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
OS/2 Version 2.11 on 3.5" Floppy - Still Shrinkwrapped!!!
Communication Manager/2 for OS/2 Version 1.1 - still shrinkwrapped, but one
corner is 'torn' - you can tell it's never been opened, but the shrinkwrap
has seen a few better days... ;-)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Atari 800xl (works) with another 800xl (parts, not tested...) This comes
with some software, but I have no clue what... I believe I have power
supplies (I found 4 so far, but not sure which ones are for the 800xl's...
1050 disk drive, CX-85 numerical keypad, XM-301 modem, and other assorted
indescribabibbles... ;-)
I can throw in a joystick or two, and I think I have a set of 'normal'
paddles (not the ones that came with indy racing...) I'm still looking &
sorting, so I dunno what else I have Atari 8-bit based, but you can get the
whole lot for shipping... ;-)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
That's all *for now* - anything not claimed in 7 days will be dumpstered or
epayed - it's gotta go...
Laterz,

I found a pile of NOS intel D3621s today. I THINK these are Bipolar PROMs
but I'm not sure and I can't find anything on them on my manuals or on the
net. Can anyone help? BTW most of them are dated 1975.

I've never tried it because I have two "proper" Beebs (the kind with
ATPL Sidewise boards, second processors, and case clips instead of
screws :-)) a B+ 128K, and a Master Turbo. I don't see any reason it
shouldn't work, though. I always fit a write-protect/enable/disable
switch to sideways RAM, though.

Found this in a pile of scrap boards today. It looks like a S-100 memory
board but has 2 banks of 12 memory chips. The chips are AM9016EPCs which I
think are 16k x 1 DRAMS. Also there's no 5 volt regulator or address
jumpers or switches. It appears to be a 32k x 12 bit memory card for a
S-100 system that has built in 5 regulation and at a fix address. Anybody
have any idea what system it's for? The only markings on the card are what
looks like an overlapping C and H with the opening on the C facing down
instead of to the right. The H is below and to the left of the C.

Hello Mr. Shannon,
in the topic "A way to erase OTP components?" I read that you succeeded to erase windowed 27C512 using a UV-Led.
Because I'm about to build a combined Programmer/Eraser, where erasing shall be done with UV-Led, I like to ask you about your experiences.
What type of Led do you use?
How long do you need to erase?
What was the distance between Led and Chip?
Did you made Test with other devices?
I hope you take a little bit of your time to answer me.
With best regards

Ok HP experts out there
One saturday my programming class in high school went on a field trip
to Santa Clara University. We got to try out some of the
minicomputers there. I asked the people who were with us if I could
come back and use the computers any other time, they said
"sure as long as you don't get in anyone's way", so for almost a year,
in the dark morning hours I would go down and program
in fortran.. using the card punches and seeing my output on the line
printer.
What OS was I running?
Here's everything I remember:
HP2100, Card Reader, Beehive CRT terminal, Line Printer, Flat-slip in
horizontal cartridge disk drive/with fixed platter, Paper tape punch
and reader, and a plotter
The machine was in the engineering department of University of Santa
Clara, in around 1976
Jobs were written in Algol or Fortran, and punched on cards.
Job control cards had
//somthing blah....
The boot loader was stored at (i think) 102077 (punch this in the
switch register and hit run???)
What was I using?
Hi!
I was brousing the web to see if something new on the web related
to that good old HP 64000 beast.
I collected HP64K related stuff since 6 years and I have about
60 Manuals titles and 40x 5 inches Floppy softwares disk for it.
I Have been faced to the problem of preserving the files on those
old originals Floppies. With the time I found a software for that
usage and wrote a procedure to duplicates the diskettes with a PC.
I will be glad to help anybody who wish to preserve that heritage
especially if you can offer something for trade.
Ex. Cards, pods, accessories, manual, software diskettes, expertise,
etc.

You may have yelled just in time. At one point I had (5) of these things
in my garage. Most of the extra hardware is gone (although I may have one
or two extra pods), but I did hang on to a large box of documentation and
have all the latest-and-greatest software on diskette. I was planning a
trip to the landfill, but will hold off on that in case you want any of
it.
If you are located within driving distance of Burlington, VT, you could
also cart away one of the floor-standing 8" hard-disk units (weighs >
100lbs. and stores a whopping 5-MB). I wouldn't even consider shipping
that beast.
Let me know if you are interested in the docs. The diskettes would have
to be duplicated, which means finding time and space to fire up the
remaining system unit and remember how to use it <g>. Perhaps someone on
the list knows of a utility which permits copying the HP64k diskettes on a
PC?

Then does that mean there weren't any 3rd party 1.4 drives that could be
used on the 800k SE? I thought there were. Although maybe they were and
used SCSI, or their drivers just had a way to get around the floppy
controller short comings.
