Dear Microscopist:
Every once in awhile a new product comes along
in the world of microscopy that is truly worthy
of 'sounding the horn'. We believe this is one
of those times so......here it is.... our new
"Eyepiece Video Camera"! It is the very first
video camera designed especially to be used on
your microscope's binocular. How about that?
Now, among us microscope nerds that IS exciting
news.
About the size of a microscope eyepiece, this
ingenious analog camera is easily put into use
by removing an eyepiece from your
microscope and replacing it with the camera. It
is truly as easy as that. It is no longer an
absolute must for you to have a "trinocular"
microscope to perform video microscopy so this
camera will work on any monocular, binocular, or
even a trinocular microscope. Now you can see
your microscopic images on any tv or, capture
and store images on any computer with an
additional capture board (a must for emailing
images).
Eyepiece Video Camera
http://www.tscmicroscopes.com
How much would a camera that offers this much
convenience and capability cost you are
undoubtedly asking? And the
answer is.....only $245 plus s/h/ins. If you
plan
on capturing images to your computer you will
need a video capture board. We have one
available with software for $99.50. (You
might want to check your computer to see if you
already have one because many of the new
computers sold today already have them
installed.) Both items can be ordered on-line
right on
our site or by calling our office.
Name Brand Used Microscopes
http://www.tscmicroscopes.com
In addition we have an abundance of name brand
used microscopes like Zeiss, Leitz, Leica,
Olympus, and Nikon. We also have used
objectives, eyepieces, cameras, and many
other microscope accessories for many name
brand scopes so please email us or call our
office for that 'hard to find' item - we just
might have what you have been looking for!
Please take a few moments to visit our site for
more information and to register for our Free
Microscope Drawing (no purchase required) and to
receive information on our latest and greatest
products like name brand 'used microscopes'. We
are
committed to providing you the latest products
available for online purchase, and as always,
outstanding personal service. If you have any

Dear Sir
I also have a minifon unfortunately in bits. I would like to restore it and
am trying to obtain as much info. on it as possible. I wondered weather you
might be able to help.
I also have a 1942 Armour research recorder which I have just finished the
restoration. It has a wire reel with some interesting recordings on
it.Unfortunatly also a few breaks and I have not yet found a way of splicing
wire! I can see why they went to tape.
Hope to hear from you.
Yours sincerely

Check that you have no other DELQA/DEQNA in there.
Otherwise you need to flick a switch.
There's a DEQNA manual at:

What like OpenVMS V7.2 :-)
If you want to use IP you'll need
a suitable version of UCX (or a 3rd party
equivalent). Either you have one already
or it will be tough to get one these days.
My recollection is that in those days
(pre-LMF) you needed a licence key tape
to enable DECnet for any off-node use.

Hi everybody.
I've rescued a Bell & Howell Apple IIe (black, of course) just yesterday.
Can anyone tell me anything about what these things were used for, what I can expect to

Ok. I am looking for two VAX parts. The first is a second set of CPU
boards for my VAX 8700 (to make it an 8800). The second is a DWBUA
boardset with UNIBUS cardcage. This thing is a UNIBUS bridge card for a

Sorta. The FreeBSD evangelists started trying to port to other
architectures some time ago. Sun funded their UltraSPARC port if
memory serves, because some suit at Sun had heard of FreeBSD but not
NetBSD...and NetBSD would have been a MUCH better choice because it
was already 64-bit clean, already had lots of relevant device support,
the team had relevant architectural experience, etc etc etc...Later,
the FreeBSD folks ported their stuff to Alpha. The last time I played
with it, about 1.5yrs ago, it was slow and very unstable.
I've always drawn the lines like this: NetBSD does things portably,
and runs on buttloads of different processor architectures. FreeBSD
specializes in PeeCee hardware, and all their effort is [was] focused
there, so it's more featureful and has more device support on x86.
So the lines are blurring, and for primarily political reasons.
We don't even want to TALK about OpenBSD. The whole reason for the
very existance of that OS was a petty argument between a bunch of
egotists in the NetBSD core group, and OpenBSD was started out of
childish spite. Reminds me of clark.net. Pardon me whilst I throw
up.

Not the original design, the implimented design. Do pay attention: the PII

fab technology.

Wrong...both of my PPro machines (Intel PR440 motherboards) use ECC EDO
DIMMs. The IBM, Digital, HP and many other PPros used DIMMs as well.
Also...once you understand computer architecture fundamentals a bit better,
you'll figure out that modern processors are generally not tied to a
particular memory subsytem. You can do all sorts of things to trade off
between cost and speed.
For example, my DEC Alpha PC64 uses 4 standard 72-pin ECC SIMMs for a
128-bit wide (+ECC) memory bus, which is in practice quite fast.
And as far as capacity, 128MB 72-pin SIMMs are pretty common. Not bad
capacity considering their obsolescence.
> SDRAM has best density and
> good bandwith, also still good cost even cost has recently risen.
You actually want to compare performance and density of memory technologies
that are years appart. Clearly, the DC-3 was the crappiest airplane of all
time, because the 767 is so much better.

Ummm...random buzzword generator? Not even remotely intellegable.
Or is it that you think it's remotely relevant to compare the PPro to chips
which are 2 or 3 generations newer?
D00d! The 386 b10wz compared to my P4. Duh.

First...what's wrong with the 440FX? Or the 450GX? Or the 450KX? Or the
440LX (also, BTW, used for your vaunted PII)? Or the Micron, Via & SiS PPro
chipsets for the PPro? And the last time I checked, most motherboards
supported PII, PIII & Celeron. So what exactly is wrong with the BX, etc.
that is specific to the Celeron such that it earns your "scorn" <snicker>?
Details, that is...not nonsense like we've gotten till now.
ObBigGiantClue: you can't ding a chipset for not supporting technology that
didn't even exist when the chipset came out (like AGP or SDRAM).
Second...make up your mind. Is it the processor you criticize (with no
detail, of course, in all previous postings) or the chipset. You do realize
they are different animals, right?
Hi all,
Im looking for DC-100 cartridge tapes to use with my Tek 4041 GPIB

Anyone (preferably in Australia) have a small number surplus to requirements?

Excuse me? Considering the PPro is significantly older than the PII, it
would be hard for it to be the child. Further...the PPro has faster cache
(clock == core, as opposed to clock == 1/2 core on PII) and on some versions
more cache than the PII (up to 1MB). Clock for clock, the PPro is a better
chip than the PII, it simply never got clocked up as high as the PII (for a
number of mostly economic reasons).

I own a Toshiba T250 CPM PC that is around 17 years old. It is in excellent
condition, and fully operational. It has 2 8 inch floppy diskette drives.
The disk drives are high capacity, and the floppies contain 1MB of data.
I have a lot of text data that I would like to move to a Windows based
system. I'm looking either for an 8 inch drive that I can connect to a
Windows PC, or another solution.
I have never been able to locate a communications application that will wild
card the file transfers, making the job way to ponderous to do one file at a
time. There are literally thousands of small files.
Do you know of an 8 inch drive that is compatible with a Windows PC and my
high capacity 8 inch floppies. Also, if you are interested in my machine I
am more than willing to part with it after I move all the data.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION: 1702A and 1702AL family.
Initially all 2048 bits of the PROM are in the '0' state (outpiut low).
Information is introduced by selectively programming '1's (output high) in
the
proper bit locations.
All 8 address bits must be in the binary complement state when pulsed Vdd
and
Vgg move to their negative levels. The addresses must be held in their
binary
complement state for a minimum of 25 microsec after Vdd and Vgg have moved
to
their negative levels. The addresses must then make the transition to
their
true state a minimum of 10 microsec before the program pulse is applied.
The
addresses shouyld be programmed in the sequence 0 through 255 for a minimum
of
32 times. The eight output terminals are used as data inputs to determine
the
information pattern in the eight bits of each word. A low data level
(-48V)
will program a '1' and a high data input (0V) will program a '0'. All
eight
bits of one word are programmed simultaneously by setting the desired bit
information patterns on the data input terminals.
During the programming, Vgg, Vdd, and the Program Puilse are pulsed
signals.
See page 2 of the data sheet for required pin connections during
programming.

my 750mhz Athlon has a 3.5/5.25 combo drive in it (both drives in a
single half height 5.25 case). I don't think I have used the 5.25 half...
but I put it in "just in case".

I just put a Teac 5.25 in my AMD 1200. Win2k picked right up on it. I install
5.25 floppies on all my modern machines since older ones use the same size. I
recently lucked out and found some electronic eject 5.25 drives that fit
perfectly in my PS/2 95 servers. Pretty cool to have a computer that can
natively support 3 floppy drives.

Uhh, they convert RS232 to a current-loop interface? :)

I will take bids on these items until Thursday midnight, to give
international and digest users time to jump in. High bid gets it, and
$0.00, as usual, is a valid bid. In the case of multiple winners, I will

randomizing software :-)
Shipping will be from Westminster, MA, USA (ZIP code 01473). Domestic
bidders can choose from USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, or Media Mail.
International items will be shipped Surface Mail, Air Mail, or Global
Priority Mail, at bidders discretion.
Hardware was working when pulled, but some have not been tested in a long

Hello all,
I recently obtained a 1702A EPROM programmer, but it's having some problems.
Does anyone have docs or schematics for the following programmer?
Tenor Inc, Model 763 Solid State Programmer
Other markings: EPROM Loader 763-7-0120, S/N 763 3303 P 1083
See http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1678511077 for
pictures. It helps to see the item for the description below...
Basically there are 16 switches/LEDs. In Read mode, the LEDs should show
the byte values, and in Write mode, the switches select the data, and the
LEDs should reflect the data being input. None of the LEDs fire.
There is a display for memory location, and it properly resets when "reset"
is pressed, and properly increments when "step" is pressed. One other note,
the "load" button is supposed to write the data, and advance the memory
location display, but the memory location does not advance...
I suspect at least the "Read/Write" switch is bad, as it is very mushy
feeling, and doesn't seem like it is switching. Perhaps that holds things
in some weird state. Standard DPDT, so no big deal to replace. Beyond
that, though, I'm at a bit of a loss w/out docs or schematics...
Disassembly reveals no blown parts, no smoke marks/burns, and no broken
connections....
Thanks!
Rich B.

Is it just me, or is there something not-so-subtly ironic and
gratifying about a 450mHz desktop with a working 5.25 floppy drive
installed? Not to mention the fact that I "just happened to have"
enough new DS/HD floppies (~60) for this entire floopy-based (sic)
install?
And, am I the only one who forgets just what a PITA it is to handle
lots of them?

Located in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Pick-up only, unless you can really convince me to
ship (read $$$). Going to the dump tomorrow
afternoon (1/23) unless spoken for:
1) TeleVideo Tele-XT. Flakey power supply. Physically
OK... all parts present. No software or docs.
2) Heathkit Model IO-4550, 10MHz, Dual-Trace oscilloscope.
Physically good, electronically unknown condition. No
probes, some docs.
3) Hickok Teaching Systems Model OSK-4 D.C. Wide-Band
oscilloscope. This guy is tube (valve) based! Physically
OK (a little rust and dirt, missing "DC Bal." knob),
electronically unknown condition. Some probes, no docs.
4) A mangy crate, with handle and casters, designed to hold
a Teletype Model 33 KSR. Maybe made by Teletype but no
markings to that effect. Didn't protect its last occupant
very well.
5) A Compaq DeskPro 286e in original box. Good physical
shape, unknown operational condition.
You may end up with other stuff if you drop by, being
unemployed is forcing me to clean up my basement. Please
contact me before stopping by.

I recently pulled a Expanded Memory Adaptor/A card out of a PS/2 model 60
(part number 61X6752). I do not know much about this thing - I have never
seen one before. This is not a great suprise - I am not really a PS/2 kind
of guy, even though I ought to be. I need to sell this for RCS (we need
money), and would like to know *anything* about it, like if it is even
worth throwing into the 'bay.

sorry, ot....
Although, this tape drive may be older than 10 years.. :^)
I am trying to make a Tandberg TDC 3800 tape drive work with
windows 95 (in a 485 machine). The scsi card sees the tape
drive and windows finds new hardware but has no driver.
I have googled all over and can't seem to find a windows
driver for this at all. :^(
can anyone help?

my 750mhz Athlon has a 3.5/5.25 combo drive in it (both drives in a
single half height 5.25 case). I don't think I have used the 5.25 half...
but I put it in "just in case".

Yes, they're used in Sega cartridges too.

First thing to check is whether it will work in a different slot. Some busses are very picky,
and I have no idea what is used in the RT. (So don't take my word for it.. ;)

Probably more like rdT0 or rhdT0 (where T is a type of drive... or not there at all), or
rd0s0d0. The "r" is likely to be important because many unixes require a "character" type
device to actually make a filesytem on a disk, and in fact to do many disk-level operations.
The "r" device prefix generally denotes this. For instance, on RISC/OS, SVR3.5, and I
believe SunOS 4, you'll see just that. I've always imagined the "r" to stand for "raw" or
something similar, but I'm not sure.

Well, ok, but my point was that they're supposed to be _more_ strange. :)

MCM sells bits for this. They market them as "Nintendo Type Screws" or
something like that, and say they are used to open NES Games (and is just
what I bought mine for... to replace the battery in a Monopoly cart).
IIRC, they sold the two different sizes I have as a single pack.

That's pretty funny, but I guess most cool machines end up in the same situation.

IIRC all of the black apples I saw were IIs and II+s. I think a black IIe
would be rare.
The audio box on the back was used in a classroom setting to hook each
operator to the teacher in an audio network. B&H was a big vendor into the
A/V and classroom solution market.

It has D-sub cutouts.

So far, but it has a strange "box" attached to the back...

The above mentioned "box" seems to have some sort of audio amplification stuff in it, actually.

I just picked up an HP 2893A punched card reader on eBay -- it
appears to be an HP-badged Documation M600L.
I haven't been able to find any documentation for it on the web.
Does anyone have any info on this or similar card readers?
Is it similar to any of the DEC-badged CR11 readers?
Any help, especially interfacing info, will be appreciated,
thanks,
Brian

No, it's the precursor of Jello. It's generally transparent

ISTR No VMS distro was available on floppy, the only VMS floppies I can
remember were boot disks for MicroVMS round V4.x. Also, all 3100s have SCSI
as standard, the only differences were the type of SCSI connector that was
presented externally. Older machines had the female HD68 connector......
CDs were available for 5.4-2 and above I believe; I'm pretty sure I've got
most versions from then upwards.
