Can anyone tell me what kind of connectors these are?
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/imlac/connectors.jpg
This is on the rear of the Imlac. I need to build a monitor cable to
rig up a Tek X/Y display(the original display is long gone) and I
haven't had much luck finding a mate for the receptacle on this thing.
It'd help immensely to know what they're called :).
Thanks,
Josh
Searching through some boxes, just found several of the DECtape III cartridges I can offer to the world.? All stored since about 1997 in cool dry area.
6 in the original shrink wrap, never opened
3 never used, not in shrink wrap
5 used, apparently data from that time period look to be in good shape
1 case only, no actual tape, I wonder where the tape went?
I can ship USPS flat rate from 94597 for shipping plus a few bucks to make it worth my while to go down to the PO.
Contact me if you are interested, Thanks, Jim

Hi all --
I got a phone call about a few boxes of Byte and Creative Computing
magazines for a good home in the Orlando area. Contact: James -

Hello all, I wanted to move from lurker to...whatever the opposite is by
introducing myself and the Media Archaeology Lab (MAL) I run. I'm thrilled
to discover your listserv as I'm learning a lot just by reading your posts
and I think many of you will be interested in the MAL.
http://mediaarchaeologylab.com
Founded in 2009 and housed on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus,
the Media Archaeology Lab houses obsolete media from the early twentieth
century to the twenty-first century for hands-on research, teaching, and
research creation.
I've come to see that the MAL is a remarkable configurable conceptual
object that, depending on how you approach it, houses items for research
and teaching, items that actually generate research; is a site for artistic
interventions, experiments, projects; is an archive for media objects; is
an archive for original works of digital art/literature along with their
original platforms. It belongs equally in literature departments, art
departments, media studies departments, history of technology programs,
computer science departments, libraries and archives.
The MAL is a "living archive" in the sense that, other than our stockpile
of spare parts, everything in the lab functions and is meant to be turned
on and used for tinkering, play, teaching, and research. It is also living
in the sense that it is an ongoing, DIY project primarily run by and for
the self-taught that continues to grow and change with every new influx of
participants. In fact, one of the strengths of the lab is that there are
almost no precedents for it and no clearly established set of best
practices.
The MAL's strongest collection is its historically important personal
computers from the late 1970s through the 80s and 90s - computers such as
the Apple II, Apple Lisa, and Apple Macintosh, as well as many early works
of digital art/literature from the early 80s through the late 90s.
If you'd like to know more about the MAL or if you'd like to donate, please
visit our site:

Subject: OLD SGI hardware...
Message-ID:
<CAEOZr+06MyaAAxCY8z1K7gHCQX+-aHJEv7dorp2QwVeKuVDvKA at mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Sorry to keep pestering the list. I have an idea...
Is there any really old original SGI hardware out there? I'm talking
the pre-MIPS stuff, that was used as a graphical front-end to VAXen
and other items (IRIS 1000) or even IRIS 2000 equipment.
I had an Iris 2020 some years ago. It had a bad geometry engine and was
thrown
out at work. I got a guy in Germany to send me all the cards he'd saved
out of
one, and got it running. It lasted about a year and the geometry engine
quit again. I sold the boards to a guy who supported some old gear at
an air force base in Alaska. They are apparently still using this stuff.

Hello.
I have two similar Data General One, one with fixed disk, the other is
the two-floppy version.
Both came with no manual or disk unfortunately.
Trying key combinations, I found the CMD-+ and CMD-- way to turn on and
off the EL backlight,
while CMD-LARROW and CMD-LARROW changes contrast.
Any other useful key combination?
At power on, the two floppy version doesn't boot (no floppy disks), but
it shows a BIOS
menu where we could format floppies and use the machine as serial
terminal. Nice!
I tried to format a floppy (720k or 1.44M) on both floppy, but with no
luck, it doesn't work for some reason... :(
No way to boot the machine from a previously written 720k disk.
I don't understand what the problem could be. Any similar case anybody?
The fixed disk version boots nicely the MSDOS still installed on the HD.
It seems to work fine.
This is a customized version for Allen-Bradley, it has also a big D-sub
connector with three rows of pins on the back.
It has also a memory expansion in the back slot, with a total of
640K+896K detected at boot (1.5MB total).
No way to enter the BIOS menu however... maybe it's missing in this version?
Anybody have a scan of the manuals or images of floppy?
Thanks
Andrea
Hi,
I know that the DEC TSZ07 9 Track drive is made by Cipher.
Does someone here know if there is a near equivalent Cipher Model?
The Cause of my Question ist, that I think I have a ugly fault in the PSU,
when the Drive is in standby, some parts of the circuit are overheating.
Look here for pictures: http://www.tiffe.de/Robotron/TSZ07/
I've repaired the PCB but the parts are still getting hot in standby,
because standby no fan is running..
Since the Technical Manual of the TSZ07 contains no schematics, I've
looking for the equivalent Cipher model to find schematics of that PSU...
Kind Regards,
Holm

Hi all,
There's a new version of "PDP11GUI", the graphical development
environment for PDP-11's.
V1.38 has new features and fixes some bugs, see history.txt
Most important changes are
- a bug fix in the PDP-11/34 console emulator interface
- the Memory Loader supports paper tape images, so you can run all stuff in
www.bitsavers.org/bits/DEC/pdp11/papertapeimages/
- there's a Memory Test Windows, which tries to find bad chips with EXAM
and DEPOSIT.
- COM ports 1..32 are supported, which is necessary for those USB adapters
Download from http://retrocmp.com/tools/pdp11gui
(Attention: the old stable v1.31 ist still there)
If you find new or old bugs, please let me know ... testers are welcome!
Enjoy,
Joerg
A co-worker has a MicroVax 3100 (model 40, if I remember correctly,
which is somewhat unreliable) that he wants to find a new home for. My

Hi! I have a few remaining "cats and dogs" PCBs looking for a good home.
If anyone is looking for the following:
1 ECB ColorVDU (last one!)
2 ECB 6x0x host processor (2 left)
1 ECB MSX cartridge reader (1 left, probably will get some more interest now
that N8 PCBs are available)
2 ECB SCG (2 left) (Sound, Sprites, and Color Graphics for TMS9918 video and
AY-3-8910 sound)
1 ECB bus extender (1 left) very handy for those with an ECB card cage
3 ECB Cassette interface (3 left!) Kansas City Standard -- read those old
data cassette tapes before they crumble to dust!
1 S-100 Parallel IO (1 left!)
These are all good boards to build. It would be nice to move some of these
which have been sitting here on a shelf all sad and lonesome. They'd like to
find a new home on some builders workbench!
Thanks and have a nice day!

I know that the original vt240-molded-case DTC-01-AA DECtalk had
multiple firmware versions, but all units I've ever seen have had the
v2.0 (i.e. the final) firmware installed. I know at least version 1.8
existed in older units, and was wondering if anyone here has a DECtalk
DTC-01 with firmware 1.8 (or any version other than 2.0) in it. It
should speak "Dectalk version x.x is running" when powered up.
Bill G. had or used to have a v1.8 unit, but I can't manage to get in
contact with him and I don't know if he still has it.
At least one other person on usenet had a v1.8 unit where the eproms all
bitrotted to blank after a while.
P.S. I'm also hunting for DECtalk DTC-03 (decmodem-rackmount) firmware
versions; there are at least three, maybe as many as six different
firmware versions for those cards.

Hi! Now that the S-100 6502 CPU V2 and S-100 Parallel IO PCBs are winding
down it is time to get the next PCB order rolling. We need 20 PCB
pre-orders so I can make a manufacturing order.
The S-100 RAM&ROM board is ready for "production". If you would like to get
one or more of these exciting new S-100 memory CPU boards please do the new
usual pre-order. I will set aside your board so you get them as soon as
they arrive.
Here is a link to S100computers.com website with information on the new
board. Basically it is an 8 bit/16 bit fusion of the S-100 4MB SRAM board
and S-100 EPROM board which addresses major issues with each board. Overall
this is a much better and more flexible memory board that should be a
general solution for almost all your S-100 memory board needs.
http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/RAM&ROM%20Board/RAM&PROM%20
Board.htm
The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement. Shipping in the US
is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping
internationally is $10 for a single PCB and $3 for each additional PCB.
This is for the bare basics USPS first class postage with no tracking or
insurance. The builder assumes all risk of delivery as per usual
arrangement.
Please send a PayPal to LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM and I will reserve your board(s).
Thanks and have a nice day!

Im thinking of doing a GreatLakes Springtime Retrocomputing Convention
in March, in Birch Run Michigan.. Its about a 4 hour drive from chicago
and the tri-state area, even canada All brands welcome and whatnot.
I chose birch run because its 20 mins from the airport and they have
some of the best restaurants in the area. Show would start at 8am and
end at 6pm.
There's a chance that the Sun 4/260 in the collection was once mine.
I had it between about 1993 and 1997, in Mountain View, CA. I
eventually grew tired of the noise and bulk sitting in the dining room,
and offered it to interested parties. Barry came by to pick it up,
along with the Fuji tape drive, and a loose SMD drive or two, plus the
4119 color monitor and about 50 feet x5 coax to put the monitor far
away. He had an online museum that he was going to put it in, somewhere
in the Santa Cruz mountains.
I don't see the SMD controller in those 4/260 pictures though, and I
didn't take the SMD pedestal when I got the whole machine in a fire sale
for five bucks.
I'm pretty sure I don't need it back. :-)
Is there someone in or near Indianapolis who's well-experienced with email
problems? I might have a gig for you.

I'm cleaning house (again/still) and found two disks in the Rockwell
System 65 I have. So far, I have found no docs/schematics on this
machine. If they are the system boot disks, I'd like to get them
archived with a disk image to help others who might have one of these
systems. The drives themselves are Shugart Model 400 floppy disk drives.
Does anyone know what it takes to read the data and/or make a disk image
on these disks?
Good afternoon.

I would briefly mention that if you haven't tried audio ADTPro lately,
the 1.2.6 release and above has a fix that makes audio transfers
reliable. Not a lot faster, but at least it doesn't quit halfway through.

Some posting on another list gave me a hankering for wanting to try to
get the old AIX for x86/PS2 systems running in a VM.
I have two old Floppy disks (3.5") labelled AIX BOOT and AIX INSTALL
... the BOOT disk boots but doesn't give an option for installing from
the install disk.
The install disk doesn't really seem to boot.
I assume there are more than just these two disks to get the OS
running. Anyone out there have a source?

Clearing my storage unit and have a few bits and pieces of Sun stuff if
anyone is interested. All items are not tested, so for parts only, and they
are free but collection only. I have some pictures.
Sun 3/60 - seems complete with colour frame buffer and memory
Sun 3/80 - case, motherboard, floppy drive and PSU only (no memory or HD)
Sun 3/80 - case only
Sun 2 monitor on swivel pedestal. This looks to be mono ECL but serial number is hard to
read so not sure. Hard to find these days.
A large CPU board - I think from a SPARCserver of some kind (501-2055), it is fully populated
with memory, has an SBUS card (frame buffer possibly), and two CPU modules fitted.
A boxed Sun keyboard (probably Sun sparcstation era).
Collection from South bay area (near San Jose, CA). All items free. Prefer someone to take
everything in one go.

All,
The subject says it all. I have a ton of data on an old Apple 2 I'd
like to get off of it. I tried ADTPro using the audio/tape ports on an
Apple ][e but I could never get it dialed-in correctly. In all
honesty, I just want the ASCII content out of a bunch of word
processing files; I don't need to transfer disk images. I figure if I
can "print" those documents over a serial port, through a null-modem
cable and into another system I can capture the ASCII as a text file
and be done with it.
Does anyone have one laying around that could be put to good use?
Thank you!

Hello supervinx,
That sounds very interesting. Good find.
The large number of serial ports is unusual in a Z80 as with 64K memory
there's a limit to what you're going to talk to. I wonder if MP/M was
available. that would be terrific.
If you're using a terminal I would use a straight-through cable rather
than the null modem. A computer to terminal set up is DCE to DTE in the
eyes of RS-232 and so no cross overs should be needed.
Cheers,
Andy.

A long shot, but does anyone happen to know the [external] DIP switch
settings for a Sperry 3070-08 PC (a bit of googling suggests it's a Sperry
"HT")?
I think I may have accidentally flipped some of the ones on the back of
mine - the system's now stuck in a repeated-beep loop with no display init,
so possibly it's looking for RAM where there isn't any (OTOH, it just moved
locations, so I'll re-seat boards etc. just in case - but I'm reasonably
sure that I caught the switches at one point, so it'd be useful to know
where they should be set at for my particular config).
cheers

Hi all,
read a lot about them lately, but never saw a real one :(
Did they really all go to the land fill?
Anybody out here has a spare one to sell/share/swap/etc.?
Grew up with the mc68k, and definitely would like to have one
of those ...
Well those went fast! Much faster than I anticipated! I am going to order
another batch of 6x0x host processor and 6x0x IO mezzanine boards. If you
are still looking for one or more please let me know.
Better still, go ahead and pre-order them and I will send them to you as
soon as they arrive. That is very convenient for everyone and skips the
whole announcement/reminder do-loop. It is a huge time saver to mail
everything at once!
Thanks and have a nice day!
Andrew Lynch
Hi! Good news everyone!
At long last the 6x0x host processor and matched 6x0x IO mezzanine boards
have arrived!
These can be used on the ECB backplane as a 6502, 6809, or 6802 coprocessor
or as a standalone SBC. They can even host their own ECB backplane as bus
master with the 6x0x ECB backplane PCB.
The PCBs will be $20 each as per the usual arrangement. Shipping in the US
is $3 for a single PCB and $2 for each additional PCB. Shipping

Hi! Good news! I ordered a batch of the N8 PCBs. The N8 is a group project
design from the N8VEM home brew computing project. I received some
questions about the N8 so I am sending this bit of background on the
project.
The N8 project is on the N8VEM wiki and mailing list. I had previously
offered the PCBs there and here on VCF directly to builders. However now I
am also putting them up on VCGM to help get the word out a little better.
The N8 is intended to be a "home brew" style computer in the style of early
1980's all-in-one home computers with a usable set of features such as color
graphics, audio, an assortment of mass storage options, a variety of ports,
etc. Although a bus expansion is supported no additional boards are
required.
The N8 is designed so builders can assemble it themselves using common tools
such as basic soldering iron, VOM, etc. It is a simple two-layer board
construction using all commonly available plated-through-hole (DIP and PLCC)
components without requiring any SMT skills, programmable logic devices,
etc.
A quick summary of the N8 features:
Processor & memory: Z8S180 CPU (Z80 compatible, 33MHz max), with 1MB SRAM
and 512K Flash boot ROM (in-circuit reprogrammable)
Primary Interface: Color video (TMS9918A), Sound generator (AY-3-8910), and
PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports
Mass storage: IDE drives (including CF adapter) port, Floppy drives port
(1.44MB 3.5"), and SD socket
Expansion I/O: Two Serial ports, Parallel Printer port, Two MSX compatible
Joystick ports, RTC w/NVRAM (configuration data), RS-485 networking port
Various diagnostic LEDs, "front panel" status indicators, buttons, with
optional debugging hex display and keyboard (DSKY)
A builder has also designed an enclosure for the N8

http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder?m=RomWBW
The PCBs should be here in mid to late Jun 2012.

The N8 PCBs will be the usual $20 per PCB with $2 shipping in the US and $5
elsewhere.
I am offering the PCB only. No assembled units as this is for home brew
computers. Most of the chips are available through Jameco, Digikey, etc.
Some of the specialty chips like the AY-3-8910 and TMS9918 would have to
come from eBay, UTSOURCE, Unicorn Electronics, etc unless you have those on
hand.
I don't know what the final assembly cost would be and it would depend a lot
on how you build it. Styles differ dramatically and depending on your supply
of parts could vary widely. Several builders have working units on the N8VEM
mailing list so I suppose you could ask them or look up costs on the parts
list/BOM from the wiki.
Since it is an all-in-one design rather than multiple boards there are a
*lot* of parts stuffed into the 60 square inches of PCB. However there is
only one PCB. There is some efficiency gained by stuffing everything into a
single board rather than spreading out over several boards on an ECB
backplane.
The N8 is a bit like the P112 SBC except it is all DIP/PLCC (PTH PCB
assembly, no required SMT) and has richer IO options like video and sound.
It is larger though so it is a bit of a trade-off.
Thanks and have a nice day!

anyone familiar with this system?
i may have the bakcups on floppy for the machean these manuals are for on
8in cpm with hmi software i may big may
What options do I have these days of Tektronix terminal emulation that
supports color graphics, like the 4206? xterm's Tektronix support is only
for the 4014. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Kyle

In anticipation of pulling and replacing 1/3 the DRAMs on this board,
I tried the trick of a dry-fit piggyback with known good chips on the
locations marked as bad. I can report 100% success. I stuck 6 new
chips on the 6 bad chips and got past the Sad Mac. In the light of
the several reports I found on support forums, all I can imagine is
that if these people replaced their bad RAM chips, either they misread
the conversion table and replaced the wrong chips, they damaged the
chips or the mainboard traces during the repair process, or they just
have a bunch of cold, dry solder joints.
Present state: machine gives "bong" when turning on (it always did),
usual screep wipe happens, then the "[?]" disk icon flashes. I have
one 400K drive, an OA-D34V-22, and (for now), Rev A ROMs. This
combination does not work. It tries to read disk, ejects it, then
asks for another one. I already have the -B ROM images and just need
to burn a pair of 27256s since that's an easier path than locating a
working, original revision OA-D34V drive mech. On the OA-D34V-22 I do
have, it did require removing petrified grease from the old eject
mechanism. I have some white lithium grease I'm contemplating using
unless there is some magic grease the job requires.
So the repair is nearly complete. Bad trace/repair damage
found/fixed, bad RAMs identified and tested, and a couple items to
complete to finish the job.

Hi! These PCBs are almost gone and there are only two left. I am keeping
one for myself so if you want to get one please do it soon.
Due to the uncommon nature of the 6502 CPU on the S-100 bus these PCBs are
unusual and only get ordered maybe once every year or two.

I have a C.Itoh CIT-467 Terminal. I've been able to find almost nothing
about it on the Intrawebz.
Was hoping someone might recognize it, or could point me in the right
direction about finding a manual for it, or knowing what it's capabilities
are (besides it obviously being a serial terminal). I've not even turned
it on yet, wanting to find some more information about it first.
I don't have a termcap entry for it, or anything close to it, on a few
Linux systems I've checked.
Any help would be appreciated!

So Iwas taking a closer look at the HP 1351A "Graphics Generator" I
have. It's currently in operable condition, except that it won't draw
text (apparently there's something wrong with the character generator,
the :TX commands do nothing at all). I was surprised to discover that
the 1351 (c. 1981) doesn't containa microprocessor or microcontroller of
any kind -- all parsing of the command language it supports is done in
hardware (TTL). (The service manual contains this gem: "The 1351A only
accepts commands listed in this manual and in the Operating and
Programming manual. Any others, especially those mentioned above will
'lock up' the 1351A such that it will have to be re-initialized...")
At any rate, this reminded me of something that I'm prettysure I read
here on cctalk years back, but I can't seem to find any reference toit
anywhere; there was a computer designed at some university that ran an
interpreted language (I'm pretty sure it was BASIC), on the metal-- that
is, much like the 1351A and its vector description language, this
machine's hardware parsed BASIC program text and executed it directly,
rather than implementing some machine language.
Does this ring any bells, or am I insane? (It's quite possible that
both of these things are true...)

Hello Holm,
I hope you find some part to repair your tape system!
If the NEC disks you found have SMD interface (two flat cables, one is
wider) and you don't need it,
I would be glad to buy it.
Thanks
Andrea
