I'd like to round out my spreadsheet but the best lists are of PDP-8 and PDP-11 CPU, memory, and device controller boards. VAX CPU boards, memory (11/750 and 11/730 nothwithstanding because of their connection to the PDP-11/70), and CMI/MASSBUS/VAXBI/NMI, etc, aren't as thoroughly documented. Does anyone have a good pointer to such lists they'd like to share? One can read a lot of handbooks to pick out a vast number of handle numbers and option names, but it's so much easier to feed an existing list through a text filter to append to the other, excellent-in-their-own-right lists.

Wanted: DEC VT11 with VR14/VR17

by legalize＠xmission.com

I'm looking for a DEC VT11 and a corresponding VR14 or VR17 monitor. For those who are not familiar with them, a VT11 is a vector refresh display processor for a UNIBUS PDP-11. It consists of three hex-height modules M7013, M7014 YA and A320, a custom VT11 backplane for these modules, an associated VR14 or VR17 monitor and cables from the modules to the monitor.

Cash Register Drawer Wanted...

by brain＠jbrain.com

This is not a sales pitch, I promise. My daughter is going to be selling PCB earrings at the upcoming ECCC/VCFMW show, as she did last year. This year, she's asked how much a cash register would cost, so she could look "professional" (she's 9, it's cute, I know). So, I thought: I have a tiny CBM-compatible 2.5" printer sitting here doing nothing, a C64 or VIC is easy to pull off the shelf, wiring up a small LCD is no issue, and I have cartridge stock to make an autorun cart. But, I am lacking a cash drawer. I've looked online, but I'd rather not spend $50-100 on something that has marginal utility... Thus, I'm wondering if someone on list has an old beat up drawer (with a spring and solenoid) they'd be interested in offloading inexpensively or donating...

Soft Sectoring a RK05

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

> I think perhaps that you do not understand how a PLL really operates. > In every case that I've ever worked with, the PLL center frequency is a > multiple of the reference. (That, for example, is why having a 3GHz CPU > clock on your personal computer that the reference frequency is always > much lower than that 3GHz. well, this is not completely correct... basic PLL does simple integer multiplication, but higher complexity PLLs could include dividers with variable module, or even more complex modern PLLs use a sort of "noise shaping" to achieve a frequency multiplication by N.M, where N is integer part, M is fractional part, often with a length of 16 or 24 bits... I'm not talking about post-dividers, the VCO really works at the fractional frequency. By the way, a quite simple PLL 4x with a post-divider x3 could do the job. PLL will try to keep aligned the edges of the reference signal with the edges of the regenerated signal; but not all the edges could be aligned at the same time, because the frequency ration is not integer. We have a situation like this, without a proper signal to reset the PLL counter always in the same disc position, PLL will align randomly in one of the following ways (number is a pulse, - is stable signal): original 12 sector: ---0---------------1---------------2---------------3---------------4---------------5---------------6--- case 1 16 sector (0, 3, 6, etc are aligned): ---0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5-----------6-----------7----------8--- case 2 16 sector (1, 4, 7, etc are aligned): -------N-----------0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5-----------6----------7--- case 3 16 sector (2, 5, 8, etc are aligned): ----------N-----------N-----------0----------1-----------2-----------3-----------4-----------5------ Of course the random choice of the pulse that will be aligned could let the regenerated sector position shift by 1/3 of 2/3 of the original 12-sector. > Slots in the hub ring. > There are actually 13 and 17, one extra midway between the 12'th and > 1'st for the index. Ah-haaa! THAT added pulse should be used to solve the phase alignment uncertain, thus starting to align always with the first sector! Beside the digital implementation using microprocessors, that would have an implicit problem of delay, cause by software latencies, I would prefer a true PLL implementation, with a VCO driven at 4N the reference signal, and a post-divider by 3N. As frequency of the pulses is quite low, a VCO working at higher frequency (always multiple of 4) could be preferable for component choice, and a bigger divider (correspondent multiple of 3) could reduce the amount of jitter and offer a faster lock time. The circuit could be simply realized using a 4046 CMOS as PLL/VCO and a couple of dividers like 4040, 4024. Andrea

Repairing a pair of IIGS monitors

by alexandre.tabajara＠gmail.com

Time for //GS monitor repair! :oD https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64631297/1.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64631297/2.jpg I fixed my monitor and a friend's one. But both needs replacement of flyback transformer. His can be fixed with a new focus divider, but mine was already repaired (and the guy did a very poor job). Maybe anyone here knows a source of replacement flyback transformers for this monitor. This is the Applecolor RGB monitor, A2M6014, mitsubishi-sourced. Thanks! Alexandre Souza :o) ---

Double good news Friday! Woo Hoo Times Two!

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

[this message went out Friday to the N8VEM-S100 list but may have some interest on CCTALK too. We are at 50% to enough S-100 80286 CPU board pre-orders for a "production" PCB order. There are a few of the S-100 6502 CPU V2 boards left but the stack is shrinking fast.] Hi Some really great news today! Yahoo! First, the S-100 6502 CPU V2 boards arrived! Yay! I will be sending them out to those who pre-ordered first thing! Second, at long last (assuming no more changes) the S-100 80286 CPU board finished trace route optimization! This board is almost old enough to vote it has been optimizing for so long. I am very happy to see it finally emerge out of the basement computer. It is ready for "production" so if you would like to get one or more of these exciting new S-100 80286 CPU boards please do the new usual pre-order. I will set aside your board so you get them right away! Yay! Good news Friday! Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Zetaco SCZ3-2 for Data General

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello. I have a Zetaco SCZ3-2 board, probably a SCSI controller for Data General machines. This board seems to be in good shape, but unfortunately two square sockets (for microprocessor I think) are empty; anyway I could try to find a suitable replacement, if I only knew what kind of IC is needed for. I didn't find also any documentation or information about it. Anybody has such board or could supply some info? Thanks Andrea

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi The S-100 6502 CPU V2 PCBs have arrived! http://www.s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/6502%20Board/6502%20CPU%20B oard.htm http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%206502%20 CPU%20board%20V1 All the pre-ordered boards have been sent to their builders. There are still a few boards left in case there are any late comers or those builders who did not want to pre-order. 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.

Install Disks for AT&T 3b2/400

by anthony＠changedearth.com

So I've had a 3b2 sitting on a shelf for the past few years. Prior to that, it lived in car trucks and basements, since about November 1993. Presumably, it was never powered on. A couple weekends ago, I ran across it while cleaning and, weighing the risks, connected it to a terminal and powered it on. It booted happily, checked its disks successfully and allowed me to add an unprivileged user account. It's running System V Release 3.1 for the AT&T 3B2, Version 2. Other than the unsurprisingly dead Tadiran clock battery, it's pretty cool. It even has an ethernet board. The one thing I can't do, however, is change the root password because I don't have the install diskettes. From my research, I've seen that a 3b2 without install disks can be considered "down" for all intents and purposes. Can anyone contact me on or off list about getting originals or copies of the install disks? Thanks. Anthony

Rare opportunity for IC chips dating back to the 70s; these are NEW

by sales＠elecplus.com

One of my recyclers has provided me with an Excel spreadsheet of IC chips that date back to the 1970s. All are NEW. She is willing to sell in small quantities to end users, and will accept PayPal for payment. Prices are by offer, there is no set pricing. Please be fair, since this is an experiment to see if she will let me offer other old stuff out to the end users. Please email me at sales at elecplus.com if you want the spreadsheet.

Toshiba CD-1000C Cartridge Tape Drive

by mark.darvill＠mac.com

Has anyone come across one of these before and more importantly (to me!) has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive. The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551 F001 Model No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan. It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General Desktop Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet so far! Thanks, Mark

PNG image decompression

by aliensrcooluk＠yahoo.co.uk

Hi, I am in the process of working on a new Amiga game, but I have the graphics saved in .PNG format. I could convert them to the much easier to decompress .IFF format, but .PNG image save many more bytes (e.g image is 15KB saved as an .IFF vs. 9KB as a .PNG). I have sucessfully decoded all the easy stuff, but am currently trying to decode the IDAT chunk (where the image data is stored). The format of the data is defined as follows (straight out of the RFC1951 Deflate Compression document available online): ??? 5 Bits: HLIT, # of Literal/Length codes - 257 (257 - 286) ??? 5 Bits: HDIST, # of Distance codes - 1 (1 - 32) ??? 4 Bits: HCLEN, # of Code Length codes - 4 (4 - 19) ??? (HCLEN + 4) x 3 bits: code lengths for the code length ??? alphabet given just above, in the order: 16, 17, 18, ??? 0, 8, 7, 9, 6, 10, 5, 11, 4, 12, 3, 13, 2, 14, 1, 15 ??? These code lengths are interpreted as 3-bit integers ??? (0-7); as above, a code length of 0 means the ??? corresponding symbol (literal/length or distance code ??? length) is not used. ??? HLIT + 257 code lengths for the literal/length alphabet, ??? encoded using the code length Huffman code ??? HDIST + 1 code lengths for the distance alphabet, ??? encoded using the code length Huffman code ??? The actual compressed data of the block, ??? encoded using the literal/length and distance Huffman ??? codes ??? The literal/length symbol 256 (end of data), ??? encoded using the literal/length Huffman code. All the documents I found online either say use the zlib library or point to the RFC1951 document :( Does anyone know how to decode the literal / length (HLIT) and distance codes (HDIST)? Huffman compression was always something I found hard, but it seemed much easier after finding this page online: http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/poop/huff/info/ Regards, Andrew B aliensrcooluk at yahoo.co.uk

Teletype Corp. motors

by jules.richardson99＠gmail.com

I found a small pile of boxed NOS Teletype corp. motors in a junk store earlier: small, p/n 177870 (115VAC, 3250rpm at 60Hz) small w/reduction gearbox, p/n 193958 (115VAC, 110rpm at 60Hz) medium, p/n 319392 (115VAC, 1725rpm at 60Hz) medium dual-shaft, p/n 337286 (115VAC, 3600rpm at 60Hz) medium with frame, capacitor & thermal reset, "28F motor unit" (3600rpm at 60Hz) medium dual-shaft, p/n 195801 (115V, 3600rpm at 60Hz) large, p/n 159739, marked as "unit motor 28C" There are a few dates which place them around the late 1960's / early 1970's. There's a wiring diagram in with the "28F motor unit" which claims to be for "CXB-1 and MU43 motor unit". Any ideas what equipment they were for? Model 28 machine, perhaps, given the 28C and 28F references... cheers Jules

Looking for software archive for "DRAM Camera"

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

Hi, All, We've talked about using a 4116 or 4164 for an image sensor, as was done in the days of yore when CCD image sensors were exotic and expensive, and I've tracked down some info (beyond just the Ciarcia Circuit Celler articles in BYTE Sep/Oct 1983), but several forum posts and a Russian webpage or two point to "kuckuck.zip", which I can't find online nor via archive.org. One former location: http://www.vampyr.msk.ru/electroniks/kuckuck.zip Did anyone on this list happen to snag a copy? The oldest reference I found to it was on a robotics forum in 1997. The newest is around 2007, with a mention that other links to that file were dead even then. My best guess from browsing archive.org is that the file was there until 2008. It's not there now, and archive.org didn't keep a copy of it. I decided to go digging because I did the "decapped 4116" in an Apple II, 30 years ago (I still have that DRAM on my pads of ancient chips), and a friend of mine has recently delved into retrocomputing on the Apple II and I was telling him tales about hardware hacking the Apple. Thanks for any assistance in tracking this down, -ethan

It's has a 16MHz oscillator so it's the 68HC000P8 is running at its rated 8MHz. It seems quite stable even on the extension card. Master slave switching is functional, so I can now switch between the Z80, the 8086 and the 68k. I would have killed for a system like this in the 80's. I still think it's pretty cool today. I think I've got processor fever. Which processor board is next? I'll post some photos on the wiki soon. John, I used your S100 Computers guide which was great - thank you.

VT78 available Phoenix Arizona

by djg＠pdp8online.com

A DEC VT78 system is available in Phoenix Arizona area. Email vt78 at pdp8online.com if interested. I can make you some boot disks if you need them. Email me if you need disks. The email I received about the system: I have an old DEC VT78 system originally used in an auto parts store for inventory control, invoicing, office management (billing, accounts payable, receivables). It consists of the VT78, RX?? 8" floppy dual drive, DECPrinter I, and the cart that goes with it. The system was purchased around 1980 unless it was the second one purchased a couple of years later (probably the one from 1980). The system is currently stored such that I cannot make out which set of drives it has. I had, at one time, the original docs and system disks but did some cleaning up in the house a few years back. I am pretty sure I tossed all the manuals, data disks, blank discs. I initially thought about saving the system disks but I know I was debating it in my kind. I am currently preparing to move packing up my house so I might yet come across the system disks if I did keep them. Unfortunately, the system has not been turned on since the mid 1980s. So I am not sure if it boots currently and the system is not in a position for me to power it up currently. If there were interests, I probably could make the effort to re-arrange the stuff in the garage to try to power it on. I and the system are located in Arizona in the Phoenix area. I am looking to get it into the hands of someone who would desire it rather than junk/recycle it.

HP 700/44 - Service Manual?

by Phil＠viscom.net

Howdy all,? I have a HP 700/44 terminal that I'm trying to nurse back to operation. I've managed to get the voltages on the board back into something resembling sane values (within 10% at worst) and I do now have a raster and it beeps on power-up but I have nothing on screen. I'm working without a schematic for now and it's kinda rough going. Anyone have a digital copy of the service manual for these 700 series terminals?? Thanks Phil

Reversing Sinclair's amazing 1974 calculator hack - half the ROM of the HP-35

by lproven＠gmail.com

"In a hotel room in Texas, Clive Sinclair had a big problem. He wanted to sell a cheap scientific calculator that would grab the market from expensive calculators such as the popular HP-35. Hewlett-Packard had taken two years, 20 engineers, and a million dollars to design the HP-35, which used 5 complex chips and sold for $395. Sinclair's partnership with calculator manufacturer Bowmar had gone nowhere. Now Texas Instruments offered him an inexpensive calculator chip that could barely do four-function math. Could he use this chip to build a $100 scientific calculator?" http://files.righto.com/calculator/sinclair_scientific_simulator.html?utm_s… -- Liam Proven ?

VAX standalone backup: how to list it?

by cctech＠beyondthepale.ie

>Hello. >Maybe stupid question but I'm a newby of VMS. >I have a VS2000 with a Micropolis RD53 inside. >I recently repaired the hard disk, and from some tests it seems to have >no errors, so its content is safe. >I tried to boot the machine from it, and it turns to contain a >standalone backup. >I would try to list the content of the disk, but from manuals I >understand I would need to know the file names. >How to identify the content of this disk? >Thanks >Andrea The standalone backup environment is very limited. There is only one command - BACKUP which allows backups or restores to be preformed. If you have a tape device or another disk, you could try making a backup to it. If you include the /LOG qualifier, you should get a list of the files on the disk as they are backed up. Something like: BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DUA0: MUA0:BACKUP.SAV /SAVE If you don't have a device to back up to, you could try backing up to the null device which, if it works, won't make much of a backup, but it should still list the files as they are processed: BACKUP /IMAGE /LOG DUA0: NLA0:BACKUP.SAV /SAVE Other than that, the other suggestions of putting the disk into a bootable system or booting the VS2000 from the network are probably the way to go.
