Subject: A QUESTION ABOUT VCF
I cannot be present at the Festival, yet I wonder if I can somehow find
out if someone has, and wants to sell, WordPerfect 5.1.
Though I will carefully test and screen for viruses any such software, my
intuition tells me your source is far more reliable than trying to get it
through e-bay.
Looking forward to your response.

A RP03 i'm told is a multi-platter drive for a PDP11. Does anyone know
anything else about it? How much storage are we talking about, compared to
an RK05?
Can RK05's from a PDP11 system be used on a PDP8? Do i need to find
special disk cartridges?

Actually, in the States a "phone plug" or "phone jack" is 1/4" -- the kind
used in ancient telephone switchboards, hence the name. To make it more
interesting we also have "phono" (aka RCA) jacks and plugs, used for
connecting phonographs and their amplifiers. Do these connectors have
different names on your side?

I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the IBM System/38, or had any software or books for it. Do y'all think it is collectable?
Thanks,

Hi,
I can't figure out what the heck these two Intersil chips are; one is a 6003
and the other is an 5110. Also, I have these qbus boards from Sky Computer
that I have no clue what they are; they're all quad height (assuming that
means they have four connectors). They are Skywar-Q-A-03, Skywar-Q-B-03, and
Skydpmem-Q-02.

Seeing as how there's 7 lights for track address bits on the panel
(implying up to 128 tracks) and there's a big sticker saying "DF:"
on the bottom, I'm going to hazard a guess that this is a status
panel for a RF08 or RF11 disk controller.
I'm leaning towards RF11, as the data width on the panel appears to be
16 bits. (Maybe the same panel was used on both the RF11 and RF08... I
dunno.)
The RF11 runs the RS11 fixed-head disk, 128 cylinders * 8 blocks per
cylinder for 1024 512-byte blocks in total. The capacity in
12-bit-word mode is likely different.

I just picked up a DEC PDP-8/L cpu unit, someone had already taken it out
of the rack for me. How can i determine if I have a complete cpu? most
of the cards are present, and there are 3 cables coming from the unit,
each with a centronics connector at the end.
There is a rack of mystery DEC equipment, lots of green G series
boards, etc. At the top of the rack is an array of lights, and
I found a plastic panel that obviously was supposed to be over those
lights. I've taken a photo of the panel, hopefully someone can
identify it for me. Other stuff in the rack is on wirewrap backplanes,
and the flip chips are plugged in from the bottom, i'm guessing this
stuff goes with the 8/L cpu. http://www-users.itlabs.umn.edu/~lemay/panel.jpg
We also grabbed the top half of a teletype 33 ASR for parts, and plan to
return with a truck tomorrow for a complete Teletype 33 ASR.
There is still a complete PDP 11/20 rack system, with dectape, decpack,
and possibly other stuff in addition to the cpu unit itself. My friend
will try to rescue this, if we can borrow a pickup truck.
Other stuff out on the loading dock includes a DecScope, 2 DecWriter II,
1 DecWriter III, 1 Decprinter. I've contacted the person who is discarding
this stuff, to see if anything else is available, such as manuals or
dectape. By the way, i'm not planning to take the printers I just mentioned,
I just dont have much storage space.
Since this is the first 8/L system I've seen in person, any help in
determining if i have a complete system would be appreciated. Also,
what are those 3 centronix connectors for (connections to expansion
units in that other rack maybe?) and how can I connect a terminal
or something to make this thing a bit more usable?
