A bit more eBay pimping....

by marvin＠west.net

Okay, couple of comments from the perspective of a long time (since 1997) US buyer and seller. The UK may be different. Take a look at completed listings for "Bernoulli" on the UK site for the computers/tablets catagory. The only similar drive that did sell was sold for 23.87 pounds with 10.68 pounds postage... and was sold as working from the US. I see 150 drive in the US sold for $1.00 with $9.99 standard shipping. the brief description is "USED Bernoulli Transportable Mega 150 MultiDisk Tape drive. Sold ASIS. Drive Powers up. Power cable included." So first, can you give it a brief checkout, even if only to say the power light does come on? From the listing checks I did, it is probably not worth your time to do much more than that given the actual selling prices and the few similar items sold in both the US and UK. Second, re your description. "I have not tested this - I used to use this type of media in the early 1990s but not since. This was my main external drive for some years, on a 486 notebook. I have no idea if it is still working or not!" That is fine as it tells the potential buyer almost everything they need to know. Since the cable is kind of important, you should mention specifically if it is included or not. The rest of the description could be shorted up a lot... only put in what is important to the buyer. On heavier items, I tend to like adding the total mailing/shipping weight. Most people have a pretty good idea of what those costs are, and adding it to the listing helps potential buyers to know if the postage is reasonable or not (to them.) In the seller notes about condition, take out the "Caveat emptor." It adds nothing but does add the idea that chances are this is junk and conflicts with your statement that it was working when you last used it. Your description has postage at 30 pounds while it is shown at 50 pounds in the search listings. Does the UK have an option for calculated shipping? And is shipping really that expensive in the UK? You have your visitor counter not showing publicly (not a problem) so I couldn't tell how much, if any, interest there was. Hope this helps! > On 8 April 2014 19:09, Liam Proven<lproven at gmail.com> wrote: >> >Here's a portable Bernoulli drive. Again, up for 1p. >> > >> >http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271446708146 > > OK, so, not a single bid. Anyone want this or should I send it to e-waste? Free!

NASA "Open Source"....

by lbickley＠bickleywest.com

After posting NASA's "open source" program to this list, I decided to download some of the "open source" software listed. To obtain the software I had to fill out a long form: "SOFTWARE USAGE AGREEMENT (SUA)" - which included an affirmation by me that I was a US Citizen, etc., etc. After filling out the form and submitting it, a few days later I got a terse reply: "Sorry it is for government release only". I wrote the author of the email and said that NASA had said on their website that it was "open source". The response was: "Thank you for your inquiry, However, STRS is labeled specifically as Government Purpose Only software. At this time it is only available for a Federal Government purpose use by civil servants or contractors with a contract number. In the future, if you have need for the software on a government contract, please feel free to contact our office again for the software." The author also included the following NASA Software Catalog (link below). As you'll see, very little of the software posted on NASA's "open source" site is actually "open source" as we know it! Most of it is "US Government Purpose Release". There is a small subset of software that are identified as "General Public" or "Open Source": http://technology.nasa.gov/NASA_Software_Catalog_2014.pdf He also included a link to this site with truly open source NASA software: http://code.nasa.gov/project/ While I was disappointed with NASA's response regarding their "open source" program, at least they pointed me to the NASA software catalog and a site with actual open source software.

A bit more eBay pimping....

by lproven＠gmail.com

Very disappointed that my DS DD 40t 5.25" floppy went for just 1p, given that people had been specifically asking in here for one, in the UK. But better that it goes to someone at all than to the recycling, so thanks, Roger! And my lovely Powerbook 170 went for just ?5.50 -- under $10. :-( Anyway... Here's a portable Bernoulli drive. Again, up for 1p. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271446708146 There are also some more floppy drives if you look at my "other items". -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven at hotmail.com * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884

I now have Unix booting multi-user in FreeBee!

by andreww591＠gmail.com

I have at last gotten Unix to boot to multi-user mode in FreeBee (Philip Pemberton's 3B1/UNIX PC emulator). The fixes required are for bus error handling (instructions were still sometimes changing memory and registers after a page fault even though I had already partially fixed it before; I now have it saving the registers before every instruction and pushing those on page fault similar to what current MESS does - this isn't actually what a real 68k does and may sometimes throw off register dumps but it does work; I also have it using longjmp to immediately stop any instruction that page faults), as well as zero page access (another thing that I had tried to fix before; I had previously only allowed reads from address 0, but some programs are expecting to read from higher addresses in the zero page, so I now allow reads from all zero page addresses). Another bug that I fixed was related to timing. The emulator was way slower than real-time on the non-Linux OSes that I tried (many of them impose a minimum on the amount of time a process can sleep, and the emulator was depending on being able to sleep for very short times, so I changed it to use longer sleeps). Unix would presumably boot multi-user without this fix though. However, the emulator is still not quite usable. The key mapping is not quite right (one problem is that the UNIX PC has separate "return" and "enter" keys, and there is no mapping for "enter", which is required to accept dialogs, and there might be other important keys that are missing). Also, neither the mouse nor the RTC are emulated yet. Here's a screenshot: http://imgur.com/GzWkUbs I'll post my patches very soon.

Philipp Hachtmann

I was in Germany for the last two weeks on a business trip. While I was in Hannover I had a chance to meet with Philipp Hachtmann, a very enthusiastic DEC collector. Unfortunately I only had a couple of hours to talk, not nearly enough time to hear about his DEC experience and not enough time to see his collection. Maybe next time I will get more time off in my schedule. -- Michael Thompson

FS: (Micro)VAX 4000/200. Other desktop systems available for free.

by saquinn624＠aol.com

I have a VAX 4000-200 available. It has KA660 CPU, 2x16MB RAM boards, TK70&TQK70, KZQSA and a user-built-in HSD05 providing SCSI system disk support (see http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2006-July/023485.html for how I did it). BA430 case. Working when parked, probably still does and I can fire it up and verify if wanted. NiCd cell removed from the bulkhead to prevent leaks, so date needs to be reset on bootup (but the bulkhead PCB isn't corroded!). Just got to the point where the space was needed and a VAXstation was able to take care of my VAX computing needs. Make offer. May consider trades for smaller gear as well. Also have a PowerMac 6100/60, Sun IPC (NVRAM problem), Sun SPARCstation 1+ and a Mac IIci (+5V trickle PSU problem) available if wanted for free - take one or all.

The hard drive gave up the ghost last night. It's making horrible bearing noises, and an attempt to re-initialize the disk and check for bad blocks overflows the bad block table almost instantly. It's dead, Jim. Not at all surprising, given its age. It may even be fixable, but I'm on to bigger and better things. I've started scoping out the work needed to build a hard drive emulator board that will connect to the WD1010 socket and behave like a storage subsystem, with an SD card and/or USB on the other end. The work is being helped tremendously by looking at Philip Pemberton's "3b1emu" source code, which implements an emulated WD2010 in software. If things go according to plan, I hope to have a proof of concept board kludged together on protoboard in a month or so.

A bit more eBay pimping....

by marvin＠west.net

On 8 April 2014 20:41, Seth Morabito <lists at loomcom.com> wrote: > Why so little in the UK? One of the things that determine price is the number of bidders. I know... obvious. But setting the price at 1p would not work if 1) there were not at least two bidders who wanted it, and 2) those two bidders were looking for these items during the time period that an item is listed. I normally set a minimum price at what I would be willing to sell at with a BIN at what I want :). And those two prices have normally been well researched before listing. For example, 360K floppy drives are currently selling (in the US) between about $8 and $100.00. The difference? Brand name, condition, the number of bidders, and if the seller has a clue on how to list.

Osborne 1 ready to run again!

by webmaster＠supervinx.com

Hi! I replaced two ram chip and had to recalibrate from scratch the floppy on the right. The spring that pushes the dummy felt head on top of the floppy disk had become a bit loose, and there wasn't enough pressure on the disk, so I got BOOT ERROR message. I had to bend the spring a little and rotate the felt head... http://www.supervinx.com/Retrocomputer/Osborne/1/ Notice the graphic package :P

Looking for AT&T Unix PC software

by seth＠loomcom.com

After hunting for what seems like ages, I finally acquired an AT&T PC 7300 today. In most ways it's fairly modest (40MB disk, 2 MB RAM), but I was very excited to find that it does have the Ethernet expansion card installed. I reset the root password and got into the system. It has the TCP/IP drivers loaded, and I'm able to do marvelous things like telnet and ftp on my LAN. Remarkable! My concern is that I don't have the TCP/IP driver diskette, so if anything happens to the hard disk, that's that. Does anyone have a disk image they'd be willing to send me? Judging >from the FAQ, the part number is AT&T650008. I'd also love to find any other commercial software that was available. I could swear that there used to be archives of the stuff online, but if there were, I certainly can't find them now. Bitsavers has the stock system software, for which I'm grateful, but not very much else. Regards, -Seth Morabito

Apple 2 Stuff

by jon＠jonworld.com

Folks, After using ADTPro I've been able to create disk images of several old Apple 2 disks. Hooray! However, there is the question of what to do with the images now. Many of the files are for the old word processing program Magic Windows. I can boot and read many (but not all) of these files in an emulator running Magic Windows. The Magic Windows files on the disks are binary and are in their own weird format; doing things like running 'strings' against them or opening them in a Word Processing program produces nothing useful. Is there an emulator for OSX that will emulate a serial or parallel port? That way I can "print" from within the Magic Windows program and the emulator will hopefully spool the output to a text file. That way I can get this old data out. Any other ideas? Thanks! -- -Jon Jonathan Katz, Indianapolis, IN.

FREE: TLV320AIC3106 audio codec and Schmartboard

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

While trying to wrap my head around soldering QFN chips, I managed to mangle a Schmartboard[1] and a Texas Instruments TLV320AIC3106[2]. My problem is that I impatiently omitted flux, which I don't currently have. The board and chip are crusted with solder in several wrong places. I would like to offer the chip and Schmartboard to anyone who thinks they can resurrect and use it. Cost is nothing -- not even postage. I have some international first class stamps lying around that won't otherwise get used. So, if you're gung-ho about soldering tiny things like this, please take these off my hands and out of my mind. I'll order some flux and more supplies and do this right with fresh materials. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G1IfYguQLQ [2] The TLV320AIC3106 is an audio codec chip often found in USB sound interfaces.

FS: DEC MicroVAX 3300, expansion chassis, SCSI - Atlanta

by matt.carp＠me.com

I need to part with my MicroVAX. This VAX actually comes in two cabinets, the main BA215 cabinet and the auxiliary BA215 / R215F storage expansion. Between both cabinets there are 4 hard disks: 1 RF72 (1GB), 1 RF71 (400 MB), and 2 RF30 (150 MB each). It has a full complement of cards in the Q-Bus chassis: KA640-AA CPU (M7624-A) MS650-AA 8MB memory card MS650-AA 8MB memory card MS650-BA 8 MB memory TQK70 tape drive controller KZQSA SCSI controller I am including a DEC RRD42-DA SCSI CD-ROM drive in its own standalone enclosure as well as a replacement CD-ROM, the faster RRD43-AA (for the CD-ROM drives you?ll need to supply your own SCSI cable, SCSI terminator, and standard AC power cable). Also included is the DEC VT420 serial terminal. Pictures are here: http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?40710-DEC-MicroVAX-3… The unit is in Atlanta. I'd prefer pickup, considering the size/weight, but I'd be open to proposals. Thanks, Matt

Looking for AIM65 rom image

by simski＠dds.nl

Hello all, we at hack42.nl just got our first AIM65 together with a SYM-1. the AIM has custom roms, but it would be nice to have a standard version as well. we have a eprom programmer, althoug it might be too new to service 4k eproms... anyway, we are looking for rom images for this machine. -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen drukknop.nl

by webmaster＠supervinx.com

Hi! I'm servicing a 9810. The 1A slow-blow fuse is gone. Before I replace it and try to power-up the machine, anyone is familiar with this calculator? What should I check? Thanks!
