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!

At the age of 47 I have finally reached the pinnacle of riffraffism, I
get two hair cuts a year, shave once a week, wear scratched bifocals,
drive a Ford F450 Super duty, Diesel no less, have a Jack Russell terrier

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.

The standard pdp/11 front panel colors are magenta and wild rose.
Well, I think you would do better at www.ibm.com and look for the model

something like 6389-12U, anyway, the ibm web site calls it a pc365. Looks

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?

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.

The model number comes up in the range of products referred to as "Venturis FX". 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).

Not right now. I have just about everything I own packed up and in storage
in anticipation of an up coming move, but as soon as I get a chance I'll
send you a copy.
I sent a link to your picture of the 3500 to the person at Brookhaven
National Laboratory that was in charge of the 1997 recreation of the
Higinbotham "Tennis For Two" demonstration. He is anxious to find
a rack mounted Donner model 30 to be a part of a permanent display.
The problem is that the model 3500 are much more common and

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?

While changing channels I came across a movie, "The Honeymoon Machine" staring Steve McQueen from 1961.

> And they are on topic!
The problem is, people are posting from old messages from google
searches and may not even know enough to look at the current msgs
for replies (they don't know they're sending to a mailing list)
Would it be possible to change the reply address on messages older
than a few months to something other than the cctalk address? At
least you could auto send a reply to them saying that you aren't
sending a message to the person that posted the message.
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.

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".

>Ron, the first time was because you were there as my

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.

Hi
I wonder if there is something different in the way the
search engines are treating our mail group. We seem to be
getting many of these kinds of messages. I think there are
several today. 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. Are these people
for real or is it some method to get valid email addresses?
Also, why don't these people just joint the mail group?

Hi Jim,
I found a post of yours to the cctech mailing list, stating that you have an
IBM Selectric Manual. I was wondering if you could help me at all.
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!

It runs just fine on Pentium systems, at least with the subset of video
and network cards it supports. 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

Wonder if they offer an extended warranty on them...
hi,
I came across a thread about 5inch c64 disk conversion to PC...I would like
to know if you can help transfer my Basic c64 file for a price? Please help?
thank you!

Mr Palamara hello.
Although I would presume it's a bit late, I was wondering whether the OSI
C3B is still available.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards

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,

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
...ok, I know i'm going to be asking quite
a few of these! (see subject)
Can anyone fill me in on the startup sequence
of the VAX 11/750's PSUs - ie, do any specific
rails come up before any others?
Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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

/U is format, period or die trying :) it doesn't save anything, although
you still can recover the data :)

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.
