Cromenco Z2 power supply (or equivalent)

by mhstein＠canada.com

Hi Sergio: I've got one too, from a Z-2 I scrapped some time ago, but unfortunately I'm in Canada, so shipping would be just as problematic as for Joe in FL. I assume you need the whole back panel (31x43x13 cm,10kg) since all the parts are discrete and mounted on it. If you want to construct one, maybe it would be practical to send you the parts, especially the transformer; the diodes and caps (130,000 and 29,000 mf, x2) you could probably obtain there. Voltages are +/-18V and +8V (No -8V), but I can't find any mention of the current rating (but it's adequate for light arc-welding, I'm sure). If you like, I can scan and e-mail you the schematic. By the way, congratulations on your countryman winning the Hungarian GP and setting several new records in the process; quite an achievement! mike -----------------------Original message---------------------- Message: 9 Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 18:40:46 To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org From: Joe <rigdonj(a)cfl.rr.com> Subject: Re: Cromenco Z2 power supply (or equivalent) Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Sergio, I think I have one but I'm in Florida and I expect that the shipping would be EXPENSIVE.

Bubble Memory Drives

by mhstein＠canada.com

Hi Ray, My name's Mike, not Ken, but I thought I'd reply anyway, JIC. I don't know what your client's really after, but in case he(she)'s interested, I have a Sharp PC-5000 laptop for sale, which uses Sharp CE-100B 128K Bubble memory cartridges. It comes with 5 cartridges and I'm looking for around $200. Although this may not have any value in your case, it does have the built-in printer, Basic ROM and 16K memory expansion options, the user manual, and was working when I last used it (can't find the AC adapter right now to confirm). Let me know if you (or anyone else) are interested. mike --------------------Original message----------------- Message: 27 From: "Ray Leventhal" <leventhal(a)swhi.net> To: <cctech(a)classiccmp.org> Subject: Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drive Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 08:58:04 -0400 Organization: Sunshine Web Hosting Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Hi Ken, I saw your posting on the classiccmp.org listing from last March regarding the Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drives and was wondering if you might be willing to share some specs and/or perhaps be willing to part with one.

Well, I think you would do better at www.ibm.com and look for the model number. BTW, the model should have a dash with two characters after it. something like 6389-12U, anyway, the ibm web site calls it a pc365. Looks like it is pentium mmx or pro. Joe Heck

DEC colors

by CyndeM＠vulcan.com

I read an essay once where the author named the official colors of Digital's PDP computers / front panels. Now I can't find it, and I would really like to know what the colors were called. One was "China Red," I believe. There is a blue color and a kind of pumpkin color too. Does anyone remember those color names? Or know of a document that discusses the colors? Thanks!

Info for IBM PC?

by edwrite＠eudoramail.com

Please forgive my error if I have stumbled into the wrong place. If there is a better place to go for talk/info, any directions will be appreciated and immediately used. I recently purchased my first "IBM" computer. This is as opposed to the 68030 Macintosh LCII it is replacing. The Mac would have been fine, except it was beginning to crash, wouldn't do Internet, and had no idea what a CD was. The replacement is an IBM Mod No. 13U, machine type 6589. I'm looking for information on the innards of this machine: memory configurations, processor and bus, etc. It's got a socket for a second processor - what might go there? And why would I want to do that? Again, if this is not the best place for me to be, I apologize for intruding and would appreciate any directions. Thank you.

My laptop QRL doesn't show that particular variant - it jumps from FR-A70AW to FR-A75AW - but it should be a 100MHz Pentium, using 70ns 32bit SIMM modules. The "inside the firewall" library (updated just this morning, 8/27/03!) also shows a listing for 60ns EDO, but that may only work on the higher-end machines (as I recall they went up to 200MHz).

I went to Titusville today and rescued the NEC APC that Bill Yakowenko posted a message about earlier this week. It's a model APC-H03P and the box says that it has a color CRT. Can anyone tell me what it has in it based on the model number? Can anyone send me disks or docs for it? Looks like this one <http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=333>. While I was there I found a DEC DECstaation 3100 with external tape drive, external hard drive and a BIG box of Ultrix/32 manuals. I grabbed it to. Anyone have any info on this one? Joe

Trouble with HP 59309A Digital Clock

by vp＠mcs.drexel.edu

I am trying to get that thing to send the current time to an HP-87 but so far it is refusing to work. I have succeded in sending commands TO the clock (e.g. OUTPUT 717;"P" stops the clock while OUTPUT 717;"T" restarts it). After both commands the "ADDRESSED" LED comes on, but if I do a ENTER 717;A$ the HP-87 freezes. I do not have the manual, so I am bit lost. I also have a couple of questions regarding this machine: a) What does the INT/EXT switch do? My machine appears to work only when the switch is in the INT position. b) Both data and time digits have their decimal points lit. Is this normal? Can I turn them off? Thanks **vp

Workslate do you still have it ?

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

Hi Jay Since my experience has been that most of these people don't tend to reply to email, a verification mail might work. If someone is not on the list and they send to the list, just have a message sent to them, asking if they, as non-list members want that mail posted to the list with yet another verification address to send to. Those that use multiple emailing addresses may have to deal with it a little but maybe they can just sign up for each address.

OT: Ship based mainframe in movie(1961)

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

I found out more about the movie. Made right before Steve McQueen did Great Escape. Two Naval officers were on leave and ran into civilian at the Lido casino who said that odds could be computed if they knew the past series of positions of the roulette ball. They recorded the positions and used a signal lamp to send them to their ship, officer on ship entered them into computer and relayed via signal lamp back the predicted next winning position. I think they always bet on the top 3 predicted positions. They were staying in a suite at the hotel and ran into a cute young women who turned out to be the admiral's daughter. The admiral was staying at the suite downstairs and noticed the flashing signal lamp and thought there were spies around. Nobody could decode the Morse code signals of the roulette positions. Finally all were found out and confessed to the "gambling". Mike

ACCRC really irked me

by jwstephens_2000＠yahoo.com

>Ron, the first time was because you were there as my >guest. And since I >had my collection stored there I was part of the team and >was allowed >certain priveleges. I dealt with the Surplus exchange in Kansas City before the "public" was allowed in. These not for profits can sell in at last Missouri and I think here in CA w/o collecting any sales tax if they just go thru the effort to register properly. THere is no reason for an "attitude" unless they want to generate it. The surplus exchange invited in people that would tell them the maximum amount about what they had they had no experince with and how to get the maximum money for it. If there had been a group like this when they were getting all the 370s and such about 15 years ago, I would have had all you guys over them like stink on s**t, but some organizations get taken over with people who take care of their own needs and don't welcome other commers as competition for the good donations. The worst of this is in the Friends of the Bookstore groups, who have "collectors" and "dealers" on their boards to "help" with the donations. Anyway, lest this previous paragraph sound like it is directed at the pravious poster, Sellam, or anyone on this list, it is not. But the fact is, look at the Goodwill Computer sales and other thrift stores who are not for profit. THere is no reason that any group that is not for profit need have a problem for selling to the public. It is up to the charter of the operation who they sell to, or give to. The Surplus Exchange in Kansas City i think is one of the best examples of how to recycle equipment that there is anywhere. They have rules to get the most out of donations first directly to their "members" and other charities, in recycling better grade stuff directly to those groups, and then with variety of programs to extract value from the donations on down to just selling scrap. There have been rough spots in the road, but I dont think the result has been bad, and as I said I think they are one of the best to deal with anywhere. I know nothing of the group you mentioned, but what is on the list, and would be a bit put off they were not friendly as well. There is no reason they have to be other than their own choices. Jim

I was also wondering if anyone that has answered one of these has gotten a reply? Twice I've sent to one of these request without a reply.

I have one of the original 1960 IBM Selectrics, but the carriage (I think that's what it's called - the mechanism with the typing ball) stops at the tab position. When I hit return it moves to the farthest left position, but it will only move five spaces before stopping. After that it will only type in the same place until I hit return again. My husband seems to remember from his high school typing class, a three key combination that will "unlock" it from this position. Any ideas or advice you may have would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you! Shana Leslie shana(a)wackywitch.com

Up until the end of 2000, DreamWork's Animation used a variety of Dell Pentium systems, maybe even some PIIs, for their pencil test stations. In 2001, we moved to Linux/Intel based system. If you need a NEXTSTEP 3.3 boot floppy, I'll mail you an image which you can use dd or rawrite.exe to put onto a 1.44MB floppy. -brian. Hello. Is it possible to mail me this boot disk image (for booting NEXTSTEP 3.3 on a PC). Thanks. frederic.wailly(a)wanadoo.fr

Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drive

by leventhal＠swhi.net

Hi Ken, I saw your posting on the classiccmp.org listing from last March regarding the Fujitsu FBM-U502GU-J Bubble Memory Drives and was wondering if you might be willing to share some specs and/or perhaps be willing to part with one. I've a client working with different types of Bubble Cassette and Bubble Cartridge Modules who thinks such a unit would be helpful. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, -Ray Leventhal, VP TechOps leventhal(a)swhi.net Sunshine Web Hosting, Inc.

OpenVMS etc.

by Peter.Hicks＠POGGS.CO.UK

All, I have a VAXstation 3100 M38 and OpenVMS 7.3. I don't have any other CDs - so I can't load TCP/IP support and start doing Useful Things(TM). Does anyone have an FTP or website where I can download TCP/IP for VMS? Peter.

Hi Dave, I saw this post while googling to try and find an old VAX to play with. http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2003-April/020391.html Was hoping you might know of someone or some place I can look to find a working VAX to add to my home network for some VMS tinkering. ;) Jason

Anyone have copy of old BBS software

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

Hello, all: Does anyone have a copy of some old BBS software for the PC platform, like WildCat, that I could get a copy of? I'd like to do some file transfer testing among my classic platforms and thought an internal BBS would be a clean way to do it. Thanks. Rich Cini

CHAC

by aw288＠osfn.org

A recent article in Antique Radio Classified states that CHAC was absorbed into the Perham Collection, which has now itself been absorbed into a project called History San Jose. Does anyone out that was have more information about this? It would be nice to see these two collections finally get a permanent home. William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org

Iomec disc drive?

by aek＠spies.com

Is there any chance that someone has an Iomec removable platter disk drive? The type that I am looking for uses an IBM 2315 style 2.5Mb cartridge, similar to an RK05. -- you could check with Doug Jones if he still has these. RK01's were IOMEC's to be honest, you'd be better off trying to adapt a Diablo interface to whatever needed the IOMEC, as they weren't very good drives. They were also 100tpi. If you have some media you need to read it should be possible to double step tracks with a 200tpi drive. From: jones(a)pyrite.cs.uiowa.edu (Douglas W. Jones,201H MLH,3193350740,3193382879) Newsgroups: alt.sys.pdp8 Subject: Strange code fragment Date: 31 Mar 1994 16:58:01 GMT Organization: University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2nevep$f96(a)nexus.uiowa.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: pyrite.cs.uiowa.edu I was going over the paper tape reader I picked up from Rockwell's surplus outlet, and I found, written in pencil on the inside of the plate that covers the lamp, the following: 0030 load-addr 6743 dep 5031 dep 0030 load-addr/clear/cont This looks suspiciously pdp8ish, despite the fact that the reader was interfaced to a General Radio Peripheral Expander box. The same lot of surplus parts contained 3 RK01 drives, though, also with interfaces >from the GR box.

Calculators

by donm＠cts.com

My recent acquisitions seem to have fallen into the category of handheld calculators and are as follows: Corvus 411 - Introduced in 1974 at $49.95. It operates on four ni-cad AA cells and/or a 6VDC 100ma (shell +) wall wart, which I do not have, but can obtain a compatible one. Casio fx7000G - Seems to be the first graphics handheld, and was introduced in 1985 at 70 UK pounds. Operates on three 2032 lithium cells. No external power offered. HP41C - Introduced in 1979 at $295. It operates on four N cells. A ni-cad power option and external charging source was offered which this unit does not have. It is the basic 41C with no modules and lacks the cover plate and leather case. Each of these units is operating and the displays are clear and sharp. I will entertain offers for these units, either individually or as a package, until 5 September when I will determine who gets what - if any. There is a fair amount of information available via google search. I'll try to answer questions about these particular units, but claim no special expertise in the calculator field. - don
