Hi John, I knew that someone on the list had a Terak. BTW I think this one originally came from the VA hospital in Gainsville, Florida. I got it with a bunch of stuff that came from NASA.

I don't know anything about it other than the obvious. I haven't had a chance to look at it closely. It looks like a model 8510. It has one 8" floppy drive and the monitor. It has two serial ports and each has connectors for DTE, DCE or current loop connections. It has a monitor port, a composite video port, a keyboard connector and a connector for additional drives. I'm missing the cable that connects the monitor to the CPU and I'm missing the keyboard. (Unless it turns up in the rest of the stuff.) I'm posting pictures of it at "www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-f.jpg" and "www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-b.jpg". > >See http://www.threedee.com/jcm/ > >>Even got parts from a lunar lander and a >>gyro from a Saturn V. > >Wow, cool. What parts from a lunar lander? A spare door and part of the RADAR altimeter. We've already been offered VERY serious money for the door. In fact, more than enough to pay for the whole load. Oh, also got sections of the tunnels that were supposed to connect the different modules of Skylab. They remind me of those tubes used on the gerbil and hmaster habitats! Joe > >- John > >

COSMAC 1802 Simulator

by dogas＠leading.net

>I'd be interested. what does it require to run? >Allison Wonderfull Allison, thanks! There's a win-32 console binary (it's small) for 95/98/NT or a single .cpp source file that shouldn't be too hard to recompile anywhere else. Dump machine code in with the m! command (for ex: " m! 0 1525c4" will dump INC (r5); DEC (r5); NOP into 'ram' starting at address 0 (A write cursor allows continuations in entry, another "m! c4c4c4" will write 3 NOP's starting a address 3 using the above example) and then three 't' commands will single-step execute the instructions (or a single "t 3" would have too). 'r' dumps registers at any point. and "m? address [count]" looks at memory. Thanks for the help! - Mike: dogas(a)leading.net > > >On Mon, 1 May 2000, Mike wrote: > >> Pretty funny....

Am I just imagining that someone scanned the service manual and put it online? A search of my saved messages and web bookmarks revealed nothing... - John

IBM PC parts

They are still available occasionally at my local Volunteers Of America outlet - routinely $5 to $7, keyboard extra. I have one or two including one that is still performing its original duties from 1983 - a display terminal for a NorthWest Instruments 68000 bus analyzer. We threw a defective MFM drive on it (bad platter giving us reduced capacity) and slapped it and the NW box into a gutted VAX-11/725 case. It was very handy to wheel up to a test board and plug in... the mono monitor and full-sized keyboard fit on top of the former VAX without falling off. -ethan ===== Even though my old e-mail address is no longer going to vanish, please note my new public address: erd(a)iname.com The original webpage address is still going away.

(A Gaylord is a >ventilation system used above grills and deep fat fryers (mispent early >career as an electrician)) Well, I've spent enough time working on robotic warehouse systems at shipping and loading docks that I know that a Gaylord is a largish cardboard shipping container with a lid, usually used to hold a lot of smaller boxes :-).

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article - Recycling computers

by lemay＠cs.umn.edu

Just noticed a new article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A new recycling program started 2 weeks ago, and already they have quite a few computers (well, duh!). Anyways, here is a link, you can read teh article, and if you're in wisconsin, maybe you might want to start paying them a visit occasionally, and geting them used to interacting with collectors, maybe even talk them into saving certain kinds of hardware... who knows what you could accomplish with a brand new program like that. http://www.msnbc.com/local/WTMJ/36008.asp -Lawrence LeMay
