Exhibitors wanted! Deadline to apply is April 1. Exhibits are NOT limited to
the shows two main themes.
"Ever wonder about the roots of today?s technological society? Did you
spend Covid nostalgically playing old video games from the past on an emulator?
Do you want to get hands-on with computers ranging from the 1960s thru the
early 1990s?
Come to the Vintage Computer Festival East in Wall, NJ on April 22nd thru
April 24th, 2022.
On Friday, April 22nd, there are classes in everything from programming the
Apple II computer to "learn to solder" sessions for both kids and adults. You
can even solder together your own Intel based computer with our partner
GlitchWorks.
On Saturday and Sunday (April 23rd & 24th), join us for hands-on exhibits of
vintage and classic computers along with talks from the people who were at the
beginning of vintage computer history. Learn how vintage computers lead to
today's world of technology becoming commonplace instead of niche hobby.
This year we have two themes for our weekend talks: Women in computing and
Computers for the Masses.
Talks include a reunion of Commodore employees talking about their days
working at Commodore Computers as well as the creators of the Commodore Vic-20
and C64. Talks by Margaret Morabito, the editor of RUN magazine. Learn the
history of video game programming starting with the Atari 2600 to modern times
with Burger Becky a long-time veteran of the video game industry.
Consignment sales will be open all weekend where our members will be selling
everything from vintage Apple to Zenith computers and everything in between, as
well as parts for computers, peripherals, and other vintage computer equipment.
Who knows, you may find the items to complete your nostalgic journey back to
the 1980s. Will you find the personal and home computer that you have been
looking for?

I have here in my hands a DEC H222A (16Kx18), part of a MM11-DP, that took a
blow at sometime in the past. In consequence there are a number of small
parts damaged (snapped diode, crushed axial electrolytic, chipped mica
capacitor, cracked/broken SIP resister net) but those all appear to be
relatively easy to replace.
What's not so easy to replace is the MC75325L Dual Memory Driver (L =
Ceramic) that was de-lidded in the process :-<.
I am wondering whether anyone has one of these ICs in their spare parts
drawer that I could acquire?
I do see a MC75325P (plastic) on eBay at littlediode_components for ~20USD,
plus a surprisingly modest shipping charge (Royal Mail International).
UTSOURCE claims to have a supplier of the ceramic part "new", with a
significantly higher shipping charge.
Before I go with the ceramic part (IMO not the sort of packaging that gets .
remarked) I thought that I would check here for alternative sources.
Thank you,

This is a long shot but would anyone have an interface card for a HP
9000 712 HP-UX workstation. The part number is A2263-66536 and its a LAN
card.. If anyone has one that they want to sell, let me know.
Thanks

Saw a note on the GCC list that I thought some here might find interesting: it announces the existence (not quite done but getting there) of a COBOL language front end for GCC. Interesting. For those who deal in legacy COBOL applications that want a more modern platform, I wonder if this might be a good way to get there. Run old COBOL dusty decks on Linux, yeah...
I wonder if I can make build that front end with the pdp11 back-end. :-)

Hi,
I also have an H500 waiting for restoration.
Maybe anyone can give better winfos about the plugs/connectors of the
patch cables.
I didn't have any, I have to make new.
With best regards
Gerhard
