I might have a DHV11 manual around, I'll have to check. I do have a
board in an old uVAX II. Do you need anything in particular? Like the
CSR and interrupt switch settings? As I recall, the Q-bus DHV isn't
quite the same as a the Unibus DH11, but it does use DMA, much faster
than a DZQ11. The DHV11 uses floating CSRs, do you know how to set
them? (I assume you are going to use VMS)

If anyone has need for Leading Edge parts, software, etc you can obtain
what you need at http://www.primenet.com/~fwagner/le/leading_edge.html
since Leading Edge is out of business and no longer supporting anything.
Throw this in your bookmarks for later reference.

PAIA used to sell 6803 boards. (guess it depends on your definition of
machine.)
Did anyone ever get one of those? I guess they were mostly for music, but
I always wanted one. The ads in the magazines always intrigued me.
I wonder if they exist today.

I have the following for those interested:
Two 19mb and a 10 mb Computer Memories hard disks 5.25" full height all
have very bad stiction and and two are bad...
Why would anyone want these? The logics are good and they have a R6522
and MC6803P in sockets. The 6803 is a 6800 with a few enhancements like
internal ram, timer, serial and parallel IO and also bus for external
program rom and ram.
Or maybe someone would want to see the inside of a hard disk.
If interested contact me.

The way I see it, if they want to make sure the data doesn't get out, they
need to delete files.
But, I wouldn't take someone's personal spreadsheet of their monthly
finances and post it on the 'net, either.
What I've done in the past is look at it, and then generally delete it.
Why? Because it's generally boring as hell.
Now, if I came across some Hubble stuff, and I knew how to use it/what it
meant, I'd probably hang on to that. But only for my own personal
use/interest.
As I see it, when someone gives you a computer with data on it, they're
giving you the data as well. However, they're not giving you license to
sell that data to the Weekly World News.
I'm working with Long's Drugs, a chain of pharmacies on the west coast. If
I poked around in the store databases and told you that, say, Grace Hopper
was taking birth control pills, that would definitely be an invasion of
privacy. (and would likely get me thrown in jail.) However, there's
nothing wrong with telling you that there are 13 women who go to the
Serramonte store to get birth control pills.
Same thing with e-mail, word processing documents, spreadsheets and the
like. If your buddy Joe gives you his old computer, you should go poking
around his old e-mail or wp files. If, however, you get a computer from
company x that was used by employee y that you don't know, the data is only
statistical.
I think generally, it's a moot point because it's usually too uninteresting
to keep around.

As one facet of this, we might consider what people would do with
their old systems, if they even got the *impression* that their
private information might be read by a new owner. They might
prefer to totally destroy the machine than to take a risk like
that.
In this respect, the actions of each collector impinges on all of
us; it may take only one publicized breach of privacy to reroute
a lot of old boxes to trash compactors that would have otherwise
gone to collectors. It wouldn't even matter whether it was someone's
personal love letters or a company's records. The impact would be
the same.
With this in mind, I suggest we adopt the common policy of wiping
everything but obvious system software and such. There will always
be the practical matter of determining which is which, but it seems
best for all concerned to religiously respect privacy, irrespective
of whether it is that of an individual or an organization.
Cheers,
Bill.

A friend I work with donated the following book to my collection today:
VIC-20 Interfacing Blue Book, by V.J. Georgiou
Anyone seen this before? It is an incredibly neat book on hardware
projects for the VIC-20, including such things as Liquid Level Sensor,
ram expansion cards, eprom programmer for micromon, ring detector and
lots more. It is overall a superb text. If you would like more info,
let me know. I'm not interested in getting rid of the book but would be
willing to share via scans or photocopies. ;)
Cheers,
Dan

No it didn't have splines in the kit. The only recent product that
required them was the LN01 xerographic printer, that used a bunch of
different keys.
