I rescued most of a Kaypro PC a couple of days ago - a somewhat interesting beast, being a backplane-based XT compatible. It was actually a stray ST225 drive which I saw first (and which I expect belongs with the system) before I spotted the machine itself, although of course it wouldn't surprise me if the drive is snafu. I have the CPU card, along with FDC/mem/RS232/parallel card and ST506/412 controller card (plus case, PSU, backplane). What I don't have is a keyboard, display adapter, floppy drive, or monitor. Questions: 1) Does the machine need a specific keyboard, or will any old XT keyboard work? (I say that like it's easy to find XT keyboards these days!) 2) I'm assuming the bus is 8-bit ISA; will an 8-bit VGA card likely work (as I have VGA CRTs laying around)? (And does anyone know what display adapter the machine would originally have had?) 3) Will it run plain ol' MS-DOS, or does it need something a little more uncommon due to hardware quirks? It's very much early days right now; I've not tested the PSU yet, who knows what faults the boards may have (but at least they're mostly obtainable and socketed ICs) and all of my spare floppy drives are in overseas storage, so I'm seeing this as a long-term project, but it would be nice to eventually return it to operational state, even if only as a floppy-only system. cheers Jules

IBM System/3 model 6 on eBay

>He has a picture of it up now. It looks to be in OK condition and the >basement seems >to have been kept dry. Getting it out won't be easy though. It still >bothers me that he's >going to sell the disk packs separately. It wouldn't be a good item on ebay unless the seller was enough of a dick to break the system up to ensure maximum profit. Capitalism called. Now if someone wants the system they have to fight god who knows for the software to actually use it.

IBM S/34 Must Go

by chd＠chdickman.com

I need to rid myself of an IBM S/34, (4) 5250 terminals and a printer that I have. I sold the house that it is stored at and closing is in 30 days. One way or another it must go. Pictures: http://www.chdickman.com/IBM/ The documentation is spoken for, but the hardware is available to anyone that wants to come and get it (Ohio, USA 45865). The thought of breaking it for scrap does not appeal to me all. -chuck

Rainbow 100

by slandon110＠gmail.com

Heres the unboxing photos, the original owner used it for one project and then boxed it up and put it away, he even went as far as removing the winchester hard drive and put it in its original box. I had to install the drive, give it a good firm wack because of stiction and reinit the drive, but its fully functional, The only thing I can think of using it for right now is a VT100 terminal to my Mac like I was doing with the Apple IIc Pictures of the rainbow http://www.flickr.com/photos/67970316 at N08/sets/72157634594990927/

IBM System/3 model 6 on eBay

by ball.of.john＠gmail.com

>> At least they're not claiming the picture is of the one they're >> selling. In the text they say it's a "stock" picture and the one >> they're selling is blue. > >Yes, but they still stole it, presumably from Henk's site (and he has >my permission). I think we can all agree by now that once we put something on the internet, regardless of obligations or contracts or licensing someone else will use it without permission and shame on you for complaining over a photograph that he did not even hotlink. What do you want? The auction to have the infamous "IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE" placecard so we can all at least wonder what exactly is for sale? Generally when I see another site using my photographs (and normally from my photobucket but that's the reason I pay for uncapped premium four times a year) I'm proud of it because it means my photos were decent enough to appeal to someone else. Makes no sense to photograph your systems if you don't want people oogling over it. Regardless, he has updated the listing with a proper photograph of HIS system.

System/34 or System/36 software images?

by dseagrav＠lunar-tokyo.net

Does anyone have disk images of System/34 or System/36 software? SSP is most useful, diagnostics next, but anything else won't be useful until I wind up with SSP. Since I am going on disability and will have more free time, I'm kicking around the idea of trying to write an emulator for one or the other or both. Modnote: Disregard copy sent from wrong address.

pdp-11/45 for sale

by davidlewis＠sympatico.ca

I've got an 11/45 + 2 RK05 that I acquired more than 25 years ago, in a running state, but is no longer working after a move in 1992. I also have a full print set and bunch of RK05 disks. I also acquired a second CPU and just pulled the cards for spares, so there is an entire set of spare cards for the CPU, as well as an extra power supply. I've realized that I have too many interests and too little space so want to find a good home for it. Obviously it will require some restoration after sitting for 20 years. Any recommendations on how to sell and a fair price? Location Ontario, Canada David Lewis

Chicago suburban high school computing c. 1970 [was RE: digi-log terminals?]

by RichA＠LivingComputerMuseum.org

From: Bob Brown Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 12:19 PM > I've been trying to figure out the type of terminal I first used at the > Rolling Meadows Public Library in the mid 70's to dial into the local HS > district's hp2000 timeshare system...and this digi-log may be similar. > bbrown at harpercollege.edu #### #### Bob Brown - KB9LFR > Harper Community College ## ## ## Supervisor of Operations > Palatine IL USA #### #### Saved by grace Was that before or after the split of District 214 into 214 and 215? When I graduated from Arlington High School in 1969, Rolling Meadows was part of the same district, and the Computer Math (i.e., FORTRAN IV) class was taught using the 1401 at the school district building near the Mt. Prospect/ Des Plaines city limits line. Monday and Thursday evenings down Northwest Highway. (Lemme see, Arlington, Prospect, Rolling Meadows, Elk Grove, Palatine, Fremd, Wheeling and Buffalo Grove, if I remember the flags on the gym wall correctly. Hersey and something to the south came into being my senior year. That was District 214. Lots of people I knew went to Harper as a start on their college careers.) The next year, 3 of the schools in the district got 1620s (a good friend who was a year younger was the operator for the one at Arlington). By the mid-1970s, I was out of touch with anyone in that area and don't know how things developed, though I did hear about the district split from a freshman at Ohio State when I was a senior (1975).

...is anyone familiar with these terminals? I have one hooked up to my linux box, via a null modem cable. That works fine, but no matter how I set things, I can't get it to display to display drawing characters properly, no matter how I set $TERM and how I set the settings on the terminal. In fact, the only way I can get it to really work (without the drawing characters) is in vt100 mode.

Baudot Terminal Program

by mcquiggi＠me.com

Hi Tony, if you search for an amateur radio RTTY program then it will support this encoding. I dont recall any of the names offhand but there will be several available as open source. I wrote my own RTTY and CW receive/transmit programs many years ago under DOS. The progs ran on my PCjr. I used an XR2211 for the tone detection, and I dont recall what for the transmit portion. I think I used the machines primitive audio generation facilities to generate the two necessary tones. I did the Baudot (sorry!) and CW encoding and decoding in software. In any case it worked quite well and I made several contacts with this setup. Message: 1 Date: Sun, 7 Jul 2013 20:00:37 +0100 (BST) From: ard at p850ug1.demon.co.uk (Tony Duell) To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Looking for a 5-bit ITA2 terminal emulator Message-ID: <m1UvuCP-000J4hC at p850ug1> Content-Type: text/plain Before I write my own and reinvent the wheel(?), does anyone know of a 5-bit terminal emualtor using ITA2 (often mis-called 'Baudot' or 'Murray' code) at 50 baud that runs on some classic computer (as that's all I have?).

Know where I can find W95 drivers for PCMCIA Megahertz Xjack XJEM3288 card?

by bearnold＠outlook.com

I'm rebuilding an old Toshiba 610CT, and need some drivers. Know where I can find W95 drivers for PCMCIA Megahertz Xjack XJEM3288 card? I have several diskettes for XJEM3233, but none for the 28.8 modem version. Curious question, once again Google shows up just tons of those so called "drivers sites". Are there -any- of these that are legit? (Yes, random site, I'd be happy to install your custom multi-megabyte downloader app just to download an 8k driver Zip.) (I'll save my "dead zone" rant for another day) All of this just for a real serial port! :) Thanks, Brad Arnold President & Cofounder, Atlanta Historical Computing Society http://www.ATLHCS.org http://www.AtariPodcast.com

software to view system properties

by sales＠elecplus.com

We are going to be receiving 16 pallets of laptops shortly, and I am looking for software that does not have to be installed, does not require an OS (there is no hard drive in the laptops), and will export to something that I can import into an Excel spreadsheet. Has anyone ever used this program, or can you suggest an alternative? http://www.gtopala.com/siw-tools/siw-viewer.html We need to run a basic BIOS boot test, check the screen to make sure it is not cracked or gouged, etc. I also want to collect system info such as Manufacturer of the laptop, the model number, the serial number, Processor type and speed, installed memory, and if it has any goodies installed like webcam or wireless. Preferably the program can be run from a USB stick, and will write the system info back to the same stick. Then I can import the system info into a spreadsheet.

Looking for a 5-bit ITA2 terminal emulator

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

Before I write my own and reinvent the wheel(?), does anyone know of a 5-bit terminal emualtor using ITA2 (often mis-called 'Baudot' or 'Murray' code) at 50 baud that runs on some classic computer (as that's all I have?). Something that runs on an origianl IBM PC under MS-DOS would be fine... -tony

Well, yesterday, Patrik emailed me to tell me that he received the screen and NuBus graphics card and has them up and working. :-D So once again, a ClassicCmper-to-ClassicCmper long-distance exchange has resulted in a piece of vintage kit being rescued and working again.

Free Stuff - Manchester UK

by julian_smith＠btinternet.com

I've been starting to trawlthrough my various big piles of miscellaneous / less interesting stuff that I haven't got round to doing anything with (or am ever likely to...) and have an Osborne 1a that did work ~6 years ago before it was consigned to a dark corner of the attic after an earlier clear out. From memory the monitor took ~20 seconds to warm up and work and there's also a missing key cap so it's far from a pristine, museum quality example. From my rather narrow perspective it isn't the most interesting or exciting of machines either. But it is free... Is anyone interested in it? If so, I'd prefer someone to come and pick it up rather than go through the effort of packing / shipping etc as I'm basically lazy and don't want to do much more than drag it downstairs and throw a disk in it to see if it still works. Collection may be possible from Bath / Swansea via one of my relatives if you can wait a month or two. Julian

Talking to ASR33 Over DECserver 90M Using Reverse Telnet

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I am trying to get communication going from SIMH to my ASR33 connected to a DECserver 90M. It works except for the Line Feed character. It seems the DECserver is not passing the Line Feed through to the ASR33. I have looked at the Telnet RFCs and I think I need option NAOLFD (http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc658.txt) but the DECserver responds with a WONT when I modify SIMH to send this option. Have I got the right option or is there another option I should be sending? I also tried looking at the port options on the DECserver, and there doesn't seem to be anything there that controls this. I had a go with a RAW telnet listener on the DECserver but it didn't work at all. Thanks Rob

More XT Keyboard fun... (and success!)

by brain＠jbrain.com

Thanks to dabone, who sent me a clone XT and a Model M KB, I am testing my XT KB code. As expected, it did not work initially. So, I thought I'd hook up the Model M KB and see what it is sending. That's when I found out I had mapped all of the PS/2 keycodes to the XT keyboard key numbers, not scan codes. To close out the thread, that was where I was getting the 0x2a/0x2b issue. INT2 (which is \ on some international KBs), is key number 42, but sends scan code 43. So, fixed the mappings, and now the KB is working well. I still have an issue where the cursor keys send numerics to the XT when num lock is on. Just a bit more debugging to do and I think it'll be done. Anyone know of a DOS util that would report what key is being pressed (for the esoteric ones, like print screen and pause break) or some other way to test the tougher ones?

Looking for: HP 9000/216 (9816) keyboard

by derschjo＠gmail.com

Just picked one of these up, sans keyboard. This may be the only HP computer I'd dare to call "cute." I thought I had a keyboard that would be compatible with it, but it turns out I do not -- anyone have one going spare? Thanks, Josh

VMS Disk Status: HostUnavailable

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I have just popped an ST225 disk into my MicroVAX II to see if it works and I get this status: Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt MICRO1$DUA0: HostUnavailable 0 MICRO1$ sh dev micro1$dua0:/fu Disk MICRO1$DUA0:, device type RD51, is online, host not available, file- oriented device, shareable, available to cluster, error logging is enabled.

Well, I netbooted the machine specifically because I wanted to check out the disk. I have done this many times before without issue. What does this status mean? Regards Rob

3b2 reference/hardware manuals

Jiten writes: >Hello,If someone with 3b2 system can share reference/hardware manuals, rom,firmware etc., >it would be great. Thanks. More info would help - what version, etc. Josh has one of the more complete archives at http://yahozna.dyndns.org , Steve and Howard are the other "biggies" at http://www.unixwiz.net/3b2/index.html and http://www.hartetechnologies.com/manuals/3b2/ respectively. I would love to find more, especially info on the busses and hardware. I have a Version 3 unit that's 1/2-3/4 running and ineffectually prodded at from time to time, but I could possibly get some stuff off of it.
