I spotted two of these in a scrap place yesterday. They haven't been there more than a couple of days and look like they're in decent condition. I'll guide you to them but I have NO way to move, store, or ship them. They're in rack mount size cases that are about 30" high and they have a wood looking top on them.

There are three flavors of Documation interfaces: parallel
differential, parallel single-ended and serial (Cardamation). I
believe the M1000 only came with the differential interface. I
have an HP-branded M600 (HP2983A) and it also has the
differential interface.
I'm in the process of building a Documation to USB interface
based on a Ubicom/Scenix microcontroller and the FTDI parallel-
to-USB chip. Have the parts but haven't had time to get started
on construction. I'll post the schematics and code hopefully
within a month.
Dang it Sellam, your M1000 slipped under my ebay search
radar because it's a "ballot card reader" not a "punched card
reader."

Is there anyone in the Boston area or near the east coast that wants to
make a little money with their old iron?
There is a production company doing a documentary and needs a PDP-8
(straight) for their project, as well as a PDP-1.
I am not aware of any PDP-1's out there, but I remember there is at least
one PDP-8 in those parts.
If you've got one and can stand to lend it out for a day or two, please
contact me and I'll give you the details.

A year ago I acquired a Southwest Technical Products Corp. CT-1024 TV
Typewriter II. It was a basket case. The main board was purchased as just a
bare board and the original owner had used what ever parts he had. (SWTPC
clipped a corner on bare boards they sold without a kit of parts.) The
keyboard was an old Keytronics unit.
I wanted to restore it to "factory" condition. My brother had just given me
a nice Metcal soldering station so stripped the main board of all parts and
only lifted a few pads.
Over the next 6 months I collected a complete set of parts. In the last
month I got serious about this project and I have finished except for a new
clear acrylic plastic case.
This unit is now closer to "factory" condition then when it was assembled in
1976 or 1977. All of the ICs are the correct part (7474 not a 74LS74
substitute.) The capacitors new but are the same type as the original. They
tend to be smaller in size then the 1975 versions. I was able to get all new
Molex connectors.
There was a recent flame war on what is new and what is original but I think
this restoration improved this classic computer terminal.
Here are some links to my CT-1024 TV Typewriter II pages.

Well, maybe not then...I don't know Penske's rules. However, as was
pointed out, being non-incorporated and doing the above scenario above
certainly is legitimate business, as long as the taxman gets his share
(Schedule C, I think? I don't do it anymore, since I incorporated. Anyway,
that is what accountants are for). No license is needed, at least in some
states.
I would think, however, that Penske would want to see some sort of
legitimate business paper if it can't have an EIN.

Exactly, so you could actually think of the business rate as "normal" and

I'm working on a rather large project and am looking for the following

Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer

Some time ago i requested documentation and/or software for my yarc boards ...
... unfortunately, i made no real step forward until now ...
The first board is a quad transputer board, according to a whitepaper, i got from
Ram Meenakshisundaram, which identifies the board as the "Yarc ProTran".
The board should run Inmos B004 software, but i had no success, maybe one of
the numerous jumpers is placed wrong ...
The second board is named Yarc sprinter, it contains an AMD 29000 processor ...
i found a reference to MiniMon29K, but a request to AMD was not successful, they
redirected me to Embedded Performance Inc, which support the AMD 29K family,
but the request was not answered ...
I tried to contact Trevor Marshall, but got no response too ...
... it would be nice to get those boards up and running, so any hint would be very helpful !

That is EXACTLY how my "company" got started. I wanted to buy some parts

(Myth Technologies... because the company itself was a myth), printed
some business cards in HS Graphic Arts class, some letterhead on a laser

I later used the business cards to start getting extra stuff at computer
trade shows... and eventually when I did start doing part time
consulting... it was just natural to keep using the same name. (Today I
actually have to declare the company on my taxes)

Hello again,
Does anyone have a spare (working) UK-spec telephony module for the ICL OPD
and/or Merlin Tonto that they're willing to part with?
I can swap it for one which "sort of" works: you can receive calls with it
(on either line), but it doesn't seem to like dialling out. Specifically,
it seems to work when its cold, but after warming up for 1/2hr or so, it
refuses to make the proper dialling noises, pressing the buttons just seems
to cut the line for 1/4second or so, then the dial tone is back...
Willing to pay postage from wherever, and maybe 75p & a packet of rolos
(aka comp.sys.sinclair standard purchase price) as well.

Hi all,
I'm now starting on the Jupiter Ace again and I've got one really big
question that's been bugging me for a while. How the heck does the Jupiter
Ace display *graphics* on-screen? It looks like the chargen is text-only and
there's no way 256 characters can cover the entire screen. Does anyone know
how Jupiter Cantab pulled this off? My Z80 is *very* rusty - otherwise I
would have disassembled the ROM and found out myself.
And yes, the Ace is well on its way to getting fixed. I need to rebuild
a few vias and replace some IC sockets, but it should work by the time I'm
finished with it.
I also need a 32-ohm speaker, circular, about 1 inch in size
edge-to-edge. Has anyone got a spare for sale? These same speakers were
*apparently* used in some of the Sinclair machines (Spectrum and ZX-series
IIRC).
Thanks.

There are basically three ways to get an ST412-like disk to work on an
RQDXx controller.
The easiest is obviously to use a real (or exact equivalent to) RD5x or
RD3x disk, and format it as such.
A second way is to use ZRQCH? in the mode that lets you specify the
type, and format a disk which is slightly bigger (more tracks and/or
more heads), as if it were one of the supported types. That only works
for an RQDX3 with late(ish) ROMs.
A variation on this for an RQDX1 is to use really old ROMs and a disk
that behaves sufficiently like an RD51 or RD52 (eg has the right number
of cylinders). Not all disks work, and they may stop working if you
substitute later ROMs (real RD51/52 disks are OK, the firware
recognises them and updates the format). The reason is that the
firmware in the RQDX1/2 recognises disk geometries by probing, by
playing tricks with the disks. The earliest version of the firmware
had only very simple tests, and could be fooled (I used to use a Rodime
3.5" drive on my RQDX1), but later firware has more tests (and six or
eight disk types) and if it doesn't recognise the disk, it won't play.
I once exchanged some email with the guy at DEC who wrote those
routines so I have some what they do, but no details.
The third method is to use ZRQCH? or ZRQCG? in the mode that asks all
the relevant questions about geometry and disk type. This only works
for RQDX3s, but if you can work out what all the RCTs, ZBNs and other
TLAs mean, and know how to work out all the numbers required, you can
format anything and call it RDanything. And later versions of DEC OSs
will be perfectly happy. The problem is knowing how to work out the
answers. I did it once, and Tim Shoppa (IIRC) has also done it, but as
far as I know, the full information isn't published anywhere. If you
want to try this, I can look out my notes about the TLAs and how to
work out the type numbers, and look up the manuals to see how to get
ZRQC?? into the right mode (I recall that different versions were
slighly different, if you see what I mean).

Hi All,
I picked up a huge crate o' stuff at the local cactus U auction
a few weeks ago. Among a lot of other stuff were several boxes of
older computer boards One of the boxes contained about 15 or 20
boards, about 12x12", two fingers, that were either 68k processor boards,
DV11, 512k Momory boards (yes, they say right on them...momory)
Most were in static bags that labeled them as Toshiba TDF 500A,
Other boards were 8" and 5" or floppy drive controller boards. A lot
of the descriptions/info were handwtitten in Japanese.
They all seem to be in very good condition, save one, which had the
chips removed, and put in a seperate box.
I did a quick google search for Toshiba TDF500A,
but didn't turn up anything!
Any information on them (besides telling me that they are 68k SBC)
would be helpful. I plan on keeping a set. (although I'm a Qbus/Unibus
guy myself) But the rest are free for the taking. I will ship if you
pick up the shipping/packing charges.
Cheers

I picked up a used MX-500S on eBay and later a DS1 to go with it. I still
need to pick up a compressor some day before I can use the DS1.
What I don't have are any manuals nor can I find any online anywhere and
it's not clear if Metcal or distributors sell copies of the manuals. It
would be nice to have instructions for the DS1 before I need to use it the
first time. I don't think I have all of the necessary filters and such.

By request, you can currently find source code for the HP 5036A Monitor ROM
here:

This source code was generated by unassembling the 5036A ROM and then adding

have not had time yet to proof read all of the comments that I manually
typed into the source from the manual, but I have verified that this source
reassebles into binary code that matches the ROM.
Appendex E of the manual contains notes on running the demo programs in the

I'm currently fighting with an ASR33 trying to make it perform a carriage
return. Currently, the carriage is stuck all the way on the right side
and refuses to budge. I tried to find something inside that would release
it but I haven't located the magic tab.
I've noticed something else. When I have the punch turned on, the '8' bit
doesn't punch. For instance, if I hit "RETURN" I get the 1 + 4 + 128 bits
punched, but no 8 (1 + 4 + 8 = 13).
I don't see anything obvious, like a level that's come loose for example.
I also lost the tab that holds the little plastic cover down over the
reader mechanism. In trying to take the main cover off so I could look
inside, I didn't notice the two screws on the front until after much
wrangling, and just after the tab broke off and either fell or flew into
oblivion.
Whoever designed the ASR33 must have sold their soul to the devil to make
it all work. It's amazing how intricate and delicate everything is, and
how damn kludgy as well.
I'm impressed, but not.

I am currently restoring an HP9830. I guess this is a classic computer
(for all it says 'calcualtor' on the nameplate) because it runs BASIC,
and is 30 years old!
Repairing the electronic faults has not been a problem (boards of TTL --
yum...). It now powers up, runs programs, drives the 9866 printer sitting
on top of it, saves/loads to cassette, and so on.
I am now left with the keyboard which has 5 problems :
1) The 'Stop' keycap is missing, although the switch is complete and
undamaged
2) The keycaps need cleaning
3) The power-on lamp on the front of the machine is burnt-out
4) The mains switch is broken
5) The plastic keyboard bezel (surround) was badly broken by the postal
'service'. I have most of the broken bits of plastic
OK, solutions ...
1) My junk box supplied a keycap that will fit (without modifications),
although it's too short and has the wrong label. It'll do for the moment
until I cna find soemthing better (unless anyone here is mad enough to
have stripped a 9830 for parts -- I hope not!)
2) Trivial to put right!
3) This is a wire-ended bulb, running off the 5V line through a 22 ohm
resistor. I can get a 5V 60mA bulb -- as I don't want it to be
particularly bright this should be fine. Does anyone know what the
original bulb was, though.
4) This is more of a problem. The original switch is a DPDT rocker (and
all 6 terminals are used -- the NC contacts connect to a 1M resistor used
to discharge the mains filter when the machine is turned off). It mount
with 2 screws onto the keyboard chassis. There is very little space in
that area too. I don't want to modify the machine more than I have to,
and I can't find a suitable switch in any of the catalogues. HP used the
same switch on many devices in the 1970s -- the 9866 printer has an
identical switch, so do the I/O expander and disk drives for my 9825.
Anybody know of a source (I can provide more details, like dimensions,
etc, if anyone thinks they can help)?. If all else fails, I'll replace
the switch on one of my 9885 drives (where there's a lot more room) and
use the switch removed from that drive in the 9830.
5) Any suggestions as to how to repair this? The plastic will stick with
dichloromethane, but of course it's not very strong. I have heard of a
technique of soaking a piece of cloth in said solvent and sticking it to
the back of the plastic to strengthen it. Anyone ever tried this and have
any tips?
-tony
That brings back some memories. The first computer I had back when I was in
the 7th grade was a KIM-1 that a friend of my father gave me. Eventually I
bought an 8KB RAM expansion board and a SWTP terminal kit so I could run
BASIC on the KIM-1. The SWTP terminal kit I had looked about the same as
your pictures, except it included a full beige plastic case. The kit must
not have been too difficult to put together since I don't remember having
any problems getting it built and working. I later managed to blow
something up on it once though when I somehow plugged one of the Molex
connectors in backwards, but a local computer club member was able to repair
the damage for me at the time. After a couple of years I traded the KIM-1
and the SWTP terminal in towards a brand new Apple II+. That's one trade I
wish I never made.

Stumbling across this thread, I couldn't help but notice the problem. One of
the first order of business on the '89 is to check the power supply Molex
connector on the back of the supply. This has a habit of getting too hot and
carbonizing. Bypassing the heavy current lead is the usual way to handle
that. You also need to check on the controller board to see if it's set up
for hard-sectored disc or softsectored ones.
The hard sectored (10 sectors) are probably long gone from this world. I
still have mine and it occasionally gets the dust blown away.
For those who learned to use a good typewriter this is the best keyboard ever
installed on a PC.
Hi
I've been disassembling the code for the KTM2 keyboard.
I see now how they generate the various sync signals.
The 6507 uses address line A0 to A9. A10 to A12 can
be used for various strobes. Jumping to these addresses
with different values fro A10 to A12 cause no change
in the code executed but effect the video.
A8 is used as a ROM select and A9 is used for A8 in the
ROM. This way, the code maps into the first two 256 byte
blocks of the ROM but the addresses look like 1xxH and
3xxH. They chose 1xxH because they do no subroutines
but use the TXS and RTS to execute strings of addresses
( a little like a Forth engine does ).
Now, as I've been disassembling the code, I've found some
funny looking code. It causes difficulty for my disassembler.
Here is a chunk of what I found. It sure looks like someone

to adjust the execution times to be equal, regardless
of the result but I thought I'd pass it on and someone
could explain how it worked.

Anyway, it is a screwy piece of code?? The addresses at the
front of the line are the ROM addresses. The next col is
what the 6507 thinks it is addressing. You'll note that I'd
dropped any high order bits above A9 since they don't effect
flow, only the strobe lines( see L021 above really goes to 1F0H ).

OK, first (and easiest) part done, the Installation Manual:
http://www.classic-micros.com/iclopd/installation/index.html
Next up will be "Advanced Operations", as that's nice and thin as well.
Then the handbook, which is fecking HUUUUUGE, and may take some time.

Hot Damn! I looked (mostly) all over for these; never thought to check
the company Dave's provided. I actually bought most of the parts to
modify a regular handtruck to do this, but haven't got a Round Tuit on
that project yet.
A bit pricey, the cheapest lift starts at $400, but if you've ever put a
Kennedy 9100 four feet up in a rack (on it's slides) by yourself... these
might be a good value.
The category they're in is a bit counter-intuitive: look for them in
"Carts / Casters / Trucks - Lift Trucks - Lift Truck Winch". Of course if
you have lots of bux you can get a hydraulic one, but....

6 and 8 are DSR and DCD; linking those is not likely to make much
difference. You're probably thinking of linking 6 to 20 (DSR and DTR)
or even linking 6 and 8 to 20. Might also be worth linking 4 (RTS) to
5 (CTS).
The equivalents on a PC-compatible 9-pin D-connector are linking 4
(DTR) to 6 (DSR) and 1 (DCD), and linking 7 (RTS) to 8 (CTS).
Of course, if this is not a PC-compatible 9-pin (which is *not* a
standard) then all bets are off.

I have a VAXserver 3100 that I'd like to backup via images of it's 3 drives. Right now I have it netbooting NetBSD and I can do a dd if=/dev/sd0c of=sd0c.bak bs=8100, but I am unsure if this is the best way. Anyone have any better suggestions?

Hi,
I figured I would pass this along for anyone who didn't know. If
your into silicon collecting or interested in the manufacturing process
you should get your self a subscription to SolidState Technology. It's
free.
http://www.subscribe-sst.com
It's a decent magazine that has been around a few years.

Hi Sellam
I find it is easier to track what is going on by
disconnecting the power to the motor. I can then
rotate, using the fan, to get it to cycle through
an action. You still have to manually lock up the
clutches or they will drag. You do this by squeezing
the two pieces that hang out and catch on the release
lever. Once you got them locked up, you can type a
key and cycle things one step at a time.

Have you had any replies from this? I know that Elan no longer produce, or even support the old programmer/copiers.
I'm hopefully getting one similar in a few days, and I don't think mine's got a manual either. Did you get a manual? (electronic would be nice)

Hi Charles.
Thanks for the info. I have the original manuals but just not here. I'll
be getting them this week to help with this. I'll look for that release
lever.
As for the read cover, it's actually the small tab that holds it down.
That broke off at the stem. It was part of a piece of very thin metal
that had a spring effect. If you look at the piece of metal that the tab
is connected to you'll see what I mean. The only thing I can think of to
fix it is to either find a replacement (not very likely), glue a small
piece of metal to the springy-thingy so I can affix the tab back onto it,
or make a new one.

It's about 20Mb total. It will be invaluable when trying to figure
out the strange and mysterious innards of an ASR33! Everything is
clearly illustrated and explained.
I recently converted my KSR33 (sitting in the barn for six years)
into an ASR33 and have been wrestling it into submission
gradually. The only things left to fix are binding of the paper in
the line feed mechanism (which predated the conversion), and an
occasional bit 5 sticking "set" (i.e. as though the SHIFT key were
pressed).
For now, look down below the carriage and find a little lever
running parallel to the keyboard just to the left of center, which
can be carefully tripped with a long screwdriver. Careful - that
carriage has a strong spring and will come back fast!
I have a spare reader cover if you're interested.
