HI John
I might be interested in the vintage keyboard you are giving away. If you
could please write back and let me know more details i would be very happy
thank you
Joe
folks,
anyone has spare SID (sound chip used id C64s, perhaps others) willing
to sell? shipment would be to Slovak Republic (Slovakia, Europe),
payment via BidPay (Western Union) money orders for the US, Western
Union MO to other countries. other ways to pay? just tell me. these are
those I've good experience with.
anyone willing to support an electronic hobbyist this way? :)
thanks in advance,

Bob,
I saw a thread in classiccmp.org where you said "Its quite easy to 'unmodify'
the customized 21MX and turn it back into a normal E-series.
I've done this modification several times, contact me off-list if you
want the details."
I've got a HP 5423A and I'd sure like the details!!!!
Cheers,
Lyle

Thanks for your replies to my previous posting: I managed to find homes
for almost everything.
I've been going through the boxes in the garage, and found a surprising
assortment of little tidbits left over from my old computers. Except as
otherwise noted, the hardware is used, in "excellent" or "like-new"
cosmetic condition. I say "probably working" a lot, but it has a better
than 90% chance of being fully functional. The paper stuff is generally
is "visibly used, but not abused" condition.
All prices are "plus postage". Yes, I know that the shipping cost will
often be more than what I'm asking for the goods, but I don't get to set
the rates. If this *really* bothers you, let me know: I'll be happy to
raise the price to correct the imbalance ;-)
I'd prefer PayPal, but any form of payment that doesn't cost me money in
bank fees is fine.
Ran
Here's the list:
Pet Pack - $5
Osborne's PET User Guide
Osborne's "PET and the IEEE-488 Bus"
VIC-20 Pack - $12
Original user manual (cover somewhat scuffed, "good+" condition)
Commodore's programmer's guide
Osborne's VIC-20 User Guide (you can have this "semi-autographed"
if you want, but I lost touch with my co-author about 15 years
ago, so you'll have to settle for "semi-", unless you want to
track him down).
Compute's "Gazette" for the VIC and C-64, first issue
A VICModem (probably 300 baud, probably working. No labels on it,
though. This might've been a prototype or pilot unit, and is
cosmetically only somewhat better than "good").
A 3-slot backplane board from
Atari Pack - $5
Star Raiders cartridge
Telink II cartridge (modem program??)
No docs or box with these. I'd say the odds are better than 95%
that both are good. I *think* I still have a couple of cassette
apps (probably games) from the Atari Program Exchange hanging
around. I'll throw those in if they turn up, and you want them.
PCjr Pack - $25
IBM Tech Reference (in the slipcase, in "as-new" condition)
Floppy controller board (should be working: as I recall, I pulled
this to install a Tecmar add-on with better features)
Modem board (probably 1200 baud. Enough chips are socketed that
it's probably feasible to hack this into a serial card)
3 cordless keyboards
1 keyboard IR receiver module (dealer spare)
1 pack of 5 overlays for the keyboards (sealed)
First issues of "PCjr" and "Peanut" magazines
My (possibly incorrect) recollection is that one keyboard is the
original from my PCjr (little-used, because I upgraded to the
more-normal one almost immediately), one was a dealer spare that I
bought along with the receiver, and the third was a swapmeet buy.
So there should be at least two in (like-)new working condition.
C-64 Speech synthesizer cartridge - $5 each
"Voice Messenger", by Currah Technologies. I have 2 of these,
still shrinkwapped. Uses a hardware synthesizer chip (SSI263??),
and has an extension ROM that adds speech functions to the built-in
BASIC. The first buyer gets a free light pen that plugs into the
joystick port, but has no docs or software unless I get a surprise
while sorting through my old files. My recollection is that there's
a photodiode in it that generates an interrupt when the CRT beam
sweeps past it.
Fat Mac Pack - $2
(Or "Skinny Mac Pack", if that's what you've got. But that didn't
rhyme ;-). I have a numeric keypad for the original Macs, in the
original packaging. The box looks a *bit* shelfworn, but
surprisingly good, considering its age. The most likely story is
that it's a working unit that the buyers of my early Macs didn't
want, because it's unlikely that I would have packed it and kept
it if it weren't. But I honestly don't know its real status.
Mac II Pack - $5
Nobody wanted the Mac II, so it's doomed to be recycled. But the
Enhanced keyboard and the mouse are in excellent shape, since I
used the Mac only moderately for a few years, and more-or-less
retired it when OS/2 got to the point where it would fill my GUI
needs.
Sony Laser Library - $20
Sony-proprietary-interface 1X CD-ROM drive, bundled with Compton's
Family Encyclopedia, MS Bookshelf 1991 Edition, Languages of the
World, National Geographic Mammals, Mixed-Up Mother Goose,
and a World Atlas (I've forgotten whose). There was a 1.1
update to the encyclopedia that Sony sent out due to some sort
of complaints about the 1.0, and that's included. I'll also
include a half-dozen or so caddies.
This was one of the first CD-ROM drives to get drivers for OS/2 and
Linux, so it may be of interest to someone wanting to run early
versions of those, as well as DOS fans.
I put relatively few hours on the drive before I switched my system
to all-SCSI, so it should be good for a lot more use. I'll give
you a 90-day warranty on it: if it fails, I'll refund the $20 (but
not the shipping), and you get to keep the CDs and caddies.
I might actually have the original box up in the attic (but it may
not be suitable for re-use after being there for so many years).
The docs are probably complete: I can't swear to them being
fully complete, because I don't remember what was included.
greetings all, I'm agblood.
I've got a c128, a trs-80 mc-10, several XTs and ATs, and a TP-340,
(there's more but that is the basics).
Does anyone have any info on the power supply for a Grid 1755/486slc (beyond
16vac, 1.25 a)?

This weekend I actually got around to building my final HP2000/Access
system. Today was spent completely disassembling the dual bay rack,
cleaning, touchup painting, and reassembling. I finally have the "right"
racks that HP2000 was usually sold in, so everything matches the HP2000 site
preparation and installation guide. I'm taking large amount of pictures of
the restoration, and at some point I'll get them up on the web along with
descriptions. I'm doing it with 2100's again, but I'm trying to come up with
a way to use E series machines.
One thing I was looking at... HP has a 2895 paper tape punch, which is
actually a facit 4070 bit with a totally custom drawer/slide thing. I can
not figure out how this thing is supposed to contact/mount with the rails in
the rack to save my life. Does anyone have the 2895 rackmounted, who could
offer a few key clues as to how it's mounted in their rack? The installation
guide doesn't address rackmounting.
Thanks for any help!

Has anyone here ever tinkered with a Magnavox Odyssey and got it to work?
I have four of these dang things and have not gotten one of them to fire
up. I can't imagine that they are all bad. I am pretty sure that the
video connection from the unit to the screen is solid as I tested it with
an Atari Pong console and got video. I'm using a 9 volt adapter and have
tested the voltage and have also tested that voltage is getting to the
unit and that is all working.
The unit gets turned on when you insert a carthridge. I've inserted and
re-inserted the carthridge several times but there is nothing on the
display, not even a glitch or flicker in the background noise. I've used
contact cleaner on the carthridge and inside the slot but that hasn't
helped.
Has anyone else ever played with one of these and gotten it to work?

I need my memory refreshed. Recently I *FINALLY* obtained a pair of BA356 shelves, one of which has the Wide personality module (I've also got a pair of narrow modules sitting on a shelf, that are still in the box, that I've had for years).
So, my question is this, is it safe to have the Wide personality module in the shelf, and mix narrow and wide drives? My memory says that it is, but.... I'll only be doing this long enough to transfer data off of three Narrow drives onto Wide drives.
Now to see if the stars are truly right and I'll be able to do this upgrade this weekend...

I haven't tested them but if there is significant interest then I will do
so and come up with a reasonable price for each.
The shipping on the monitor may be a tad high as they are all about 19".

I have an Adaptec 1460D on order, will pick it up Monday - under $100,
too.
Hmmmm... I wonder what a SCSI-to-ESDI converter would entail.... that
might be fun.
Cheers, and thanks to everyone for the nearly unanimous helpful advice!
John
I was wondering if anyone had some experience and/or preferences with
SCSI cards for laptops - specifically I want to hook my M4 Data 9914 9trk
drive up to one of my laptop PCs (IBM or Dell) to archive/transport/backup
tape images to-from the 11/44.
Speaking of the 11/44 - I'm in the market for one or a couple of Pertec
foramtter cards to fit the Kenedy 9100.. I have a Pertec Unibus card,
just need the interface cards for the machines themselves. Also cables for
same...
ALSO: still looking for an (H960?) tall DEC rack to buy. Must have
casters, would like to have the anti-tip legs, all other acoutrements
unimportant. (power controller, logos, sides, etc).
I will be at VCF 6 in October, and can pick up these items in that
general area then.

PS: yes, yes, I know - Marketplace!! Okay, already....
I have now finished my annual stocktaking, and the following obsolete/surplus items have popped up. It would be appreciated if they could be used in restoration projects, as long as my P&P is covered.
Postage from Denmark depends on weight and/or size, so please ask first.
A very short description is included, but you can mail me directly at nico(a)farumdata.dk for more info
(1) Qualstar 1052 R/W formatter.
1 new, 1 slightly used
(2) SMS SCSI controllers. 5x SMS-512, 8x SMS-7250.
The 512 is an 8-bit ISA controller, talking to the 7250 which can address 4x floppy disc and 7 50-pin SCSI devices.
(3) Digital 8-bit net adapter, FCC-id AO9-DE100
(4) 2x IBM adapters as described in an earlier message.
9-pin output, probably network adapters. Marked 16/4 on a green sticker with white border.
(5) 1x MFM disccontroller, 2x HD

Hello all!
I have been searching the web looking for the original IBM PC/XT
schematics. I read on some post that they were published in the "IBM
Technical Reference Manual" and in the "Microcornucopia" magazine, but I
couldn't find it anywhere. Please, could you tell me where can I find
those schemes? Please, if anyone has it, can you make a scan and post
it?
Thank you.

I just found out that two of my magazine boxes were attacked by some damn
little wormy things. They were white and about a quarter inch in length.
They'd come up through a crack in the foundation of my warehouse and
started eating away at the file boxes. Fortunately, they seemed to like
the cardboard way more than the magazines, though they did take out
significant chunks of a couple issues of Kilobaud Computing from 1979
(bastards!) They also left a lot of wormy poop behind, and unless I'm
smelling the acid from the paper breaking down, they left a stink too.
Damn punk-ass bitch wormy things.
Has anyone else had issues like this? How did these fuckers find my boxes
out of all the damn cracks they could have crawled out of? What are they?
Termites?
Now I have to waste time filling in the cracks so this doesn't happen
again. I can't have gawd damn wormy things eating my damn computer stuff!

I have in hardcopy the "IBM Technical Reference Personal Computer XT and
Portable Personal Computer, 6361459. It is in a mini 3 ring binder.
I don't have it scanned, nor am I willing to scan it. However, if you
cannot find electronic versions, perhaps there are parts of the manual
you want. If you want JUST the system board schematics, then I will
scan the 20 or so pages, but it might take a while. It would be easier
for me to photocopy the 20 or so pages and send them along.

There are a number of advantages to the web based forum over news
groups and mail lists which is the reason I started the Vintage
Computer Forum a while back. Of course, these other technologies are
simpler and require far less bandwidth then the more graphical web
forums for those that prefer to use vintage equipment to talk about
vintage equipment.
I'm convinced that there's room for everyone in the "free market
economy" and that, in the end, everyone is a winner. Maybe I'm naive,
but just I don't think it's a zero sum game.
I'll mirror Jules question of "but... why?" only because the VC Forum
I've been hosting is already mature, has nearly 200 registered users
and appears to have almost exactly the same content as Lance's effort.
In the end, though, Lance is adding to the community just like ccTalk,
the VC Forum and the wide variety of other discussions out there.
Congratulations, Lance, and more power to you! :)

Do Adds Viewpoint terminals have any value?
I have 8 of them I no longer use or need. Cosmetically they are all
rather beat. All are yellowed and dirty, with lots of pen or pencil marks
on the cases and keyboards. All keyboards have all their keys, and to the
best of my knowledge all 8 are in good working order (they all worked
when they were last used, but that was a number of years ago).
The cosmetic issues are probably nothing a good scrubbing can't improve.
I don't believe any have physical damage to them.
I'm just curious if these are something I should try selling, or just
give/throw away.

Hello,
This may be OFF TOPIC but I did run WWIV more than 10 years ago.
My question is how to run a DOS BBS directly attached to a Terminal Server.
That is without a modem. I have a PicoWeb server which basically allows one
to connect a serial device directly to ethernet and comunicates via TCP/IP.
It works and I can talk with it via Telnet. However I want to run a classic
BBS such as WWIV. I have tried my backup copy from circa 1992 and
it really wants a modem. I have tried the current version too without luck.
So is there any old style BBSes which will work with a direct connection to
a terminal (in my case a serial to ethernet convertor)? I would want
chains.txt
support so I could run the great online games.
I could run WWIV with my two V.everything modems back to back but that
IS overkill. Is there any other solution? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
Max
OK, I've managed to find a part answer to the question I asked a while back.
(What inputs did the Microvitec Cub Monitors have?)
Microvitec 653 cub monitors came in a few flavours:
Shape:
MS = the cub in metal case as most people are used to
LS/LI = plastic casing ("structured foam" case)
Input:
1451 = standard monitor with TTL inputs (BBC B, RM 480Z, Electron & Oric)
1455 = dual standard monitor TTL or 1v/75ohm video (BBC, Oric, Electron, RM
480Z, RM 380Z)
1459 = 1v p-p/75ohm video input (RM 380Z, DEC Rainbow, Crommenco 501)
1456 = Mac & IBM versions differing only in color sets
There was however a Triple Standard monitor - which I would like to track
down - the brochure for which statesinputs as: PAL/TTL/Analogue (1v/75ohm).
This was a 20" version.
Looking at the circuit diagrams for the triple standard interface I can see
that what it means by PAL & 1v/75ohm Video is the following:
PAL = what I would call composite video with colors encoded as PAL
1v/75ohm video = RGBS, BNC sockets for RGB and BNC socket for S which is
also the PAL/Composite input (cunningly the monitor circuits also alow for
RGsB)
I've not managed to find a diagram of the Dual Standard interface so I can't
say what the connectors look like on the back. For now I'm assuming they
were just BNC sockets.
Does anyone have the 1459 version of the Cub? Can they please let me know
what the rear looks like.
Does anyone have the 1455 Dual Standard version of the Cub? same info would
be useful.
Finally: Does anyone know where I could find 1455 & 1459 versions?
Thanks again,
Alan geering

I still have the homemade cable I used to connect a HP7040 to my original
IBM PC in 1983. It is a DB-25S (PC end) to DB25P (plotter end).
Plotter PC
1 1
2 3
3 2
4 5
5 4
6 20
7 7

This would be a null modem cable.
I also found this HP link for a newer plotter

The C64 shares the same pins outs as the Atari 800 video, so you can use the same cables, try redmondcable.com and www.myatari.com which both sell Atari Composite 5 pin din cables.

Please respond directly to Ryan about this item.

Physically its in good shape, the only consmetics are a few scuffs and some
of the "filter" has been removed. I was planning on ebaying it starting
bids
around $5-10 sometimes they take off that way, sometimes not. I originally
bought the unit at an auction figuring I could get the pinout of the unit
and
attach to my old PC5150 but the interface seems to be scsi'ish and totally
incompatible.
I am located in Weston (Wausau) Wisconsin near the center of the state,
shipping on the unit would probably be $30-$60 as it weighs a lot 50-60lbs
unless there is someone nearby to pick it up at my house.
Cheers

>3 + 5/8 if you're going to start inside V1 and they're all 1" thick and 5
>covers to go through.
wouldn't it be 3.5 inches? Starts page 1 vol 1, ends last page vol 3, so
that's only 4 covers to go thru (back of vol 1, front of vol 2, back of
vol 2, front vol 3).
So that's 3 books of pages at 1 inch per book, 3 * 1 = 3
4 covers at 1/8 per cover is 4 * 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2
3 inches of text + 1/2 inch of covers = 3.5 inches that the worm travels.

There is more than one model that has the PAL board and may also have the
audio board or even the stereo audio board. I have the beige cube shaped
CUB with the PAL board, a black 'D' series CUB (more conventional monitor
shape) with both the PAL board and a stereo audio board and three beige
CUB monitors in chunky plastic cases that have the PAL board but without
the decoder section being populated, they also lack an audio section.
The inputs on the beige cube and the black 'D' series are the standard CUB
DIN socket and a BNC socket. The BNC is for 1v PAL or .3v sync and the DIN
socket is either .7v RGB or digital RGBS. The chunky plastic beige CUBs all
have four BNC sockets, RGB and Sync.

Folks,
Recently was lucky enough to pick up one of these, brand new never used.
http://www.corestore.org/rp12.htm
Unfortunately it came without any media. Questions:
1. Can anyone confirm they used 'standard' Quantum Passport XL media,
without any wierd & wonderful DEC factory formatting?
2. Can anyone provide copies of the vital personality diskettes? Without
those, it's a lump of iron :(
Thanks
Mike

Sellam: You really opened the proverbial 'bag of worms' (your own
description). I suggest again - get advice from a professional exterminator. I've had
termites in my house, my garage, in storage rooms, etc., and I assure you they
will go right through plastic wraps, plastic sheets, plastic curtains, and
anything made of wood or wood fibres (like paper). Defeating them is not a "game"
that most of us are prepared or equipped to play, and, yes, I have a contract
(perpetual) that guarantees the protection of my home and all I have in it.
Saying you don't need it is like saying you don't need any kind of insurance -

I recall that with a new plotter of that era I had to initiate the plotter
by hooking everything up and then typing and running a basic program from
the PC to the plotter through the serial cable. The program initiates the
plotter for use. If this is not a new plotter, it may have been set up
for a different PC/desktop calculator in which case you'd need to
re-initialize it. If that's not the case, maybe the ROM(?) that held the
original configuration is bad. Do you have the manual for the
plotter? The program should be in there. Sorry..I do not remember the
program, it's been almost 20 years! Maybe someone has a HP7040 plotter
manual out there in this group. The basic program should be only 3-5 lines.
