Hi, the jack your looking for is MMJ. Looks similar to RJ but different.

I believe (though I could be wrong) that it is a 6P4C, but not
technically an RJ11 (that refers to not only the plug style,
but also the wiring scheme; in particular, RJ11 specifies 6P2C,
while RJ14 specifies 6P4C, but neither of them are necessarily
RJ-anything).
If you're trying to buy the plugs, though, you probably want
to search for RJ11 because that's what most stores sell them
as (just like you want to search for "DB9" serial plugs when
you really want DE9 plugs).

It consists of three hex-height modules M7013, M7014 YA and A320, a

By the way, the M7014 and M7014-YA are only different in that the -YA has
on board terminators, I think.
The VT!! backplane is the weirdest unibus backplane I ever saw. It's a 4
slot backplane with 3 hex boards in it, plus unibus in and out. Be very
careful installing it. Think about it...

I think it's 4p4c. However, the jacks are built so that a "smaller"
plug will even fit into a larger jack, so a 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ13 and
some more) will also work.

Hi, All,
We've talked about using a 4116 or 4164 for an image sensor, as was
done in the days of yore when CCD image sensors were exotic and
expensive, and I've tracked down some info (beyond just the Ciarcia
Circuit Celler articles in BYTE Sep/Oct 1983), but several forum posts
and a Russian webpage or two point to "kuckuck.zip", which I can't
find online nor via
archive.org.
One former location:
http://www.vampyr.msk.ru/electroniks/kuckuck.zip
Did anyone on this list happen to snag a copy? The oldest reference I
found to it was on a robotics forum in 1997. The newest is around
2007, with a mention that other links to that file were dead even
then. My best guess from browsing
archive.org is that the file was
there until 2008. It's not there now, and
archive.org didn't keep a
copy of it.
I decided to go digging because I did the "decapped 4116" in an Apple
II, 30 years ago (I still have that DRAM on my pads of ancient chips),
and a friend of mine has recently delved into retrocomputing on the
Apple II and I was telling him tales about hardware hacking the Apple.
Thanks for any assistance in tracking this down,

Hi all,
probably a stupid one, but we have so much fun here discussing the
right nomenclature of connectors ;-)
I'm looking for the right jack/receptacle for a lk201 keyboard for an
keyboard adapter.
so, is this a "RJ11 6p4c"?
No, it looks like a 4p4c to me. The first digit gives the number of
'positions' (the maximum number of contacts there could be), the second
gives the number of contacts actually fitted.
It's not an RJ-anything (just as the 10baseT ethenet conenctor is not an
RJ45, it's an 8p8c, nothing more). RJ11 (or whatever) implies a
particular set of ocnnections for telephone wiring. This can never be
right for a keyboard.

By the way, the M7014 and M7014-YA are only different in that the -YA has
on board terminators, I think.
One version of one of the boards (M7014?) had the GT40 firmware ROMs on
it too. nybble-wide PROMs, I forget how big (256 locations?). All the
boards had the positions for these ROMs, you can solder them in (or fit
sockets) if you wnt to. There may be some bufferes to add too, but it's
fairly obvious.
I can't rememebr about bus termination, if it was an option, it'll just
be a load of resistors to add I think
The VT!! backplane is the weirdest unibus backplane I ever saw. It's a 4
slot backplane with 3 hex boards in it, plus unibus in and out. Be very
careful installing it. Think about it...
Unibus In is in the normal place, Unibus Out is below it. So if it's the
last backplane in the syustem there's no problem, just put in the M920
jumber as usual and an M930 terminator in the slot below it. If it's the
last backplane in a cabinet, that's no problem either, again fit the M920
as usual and plug the Unibus ribbon cable going to the next box into the
Unibus Out slot under the M920. But if it's in the middle of a box, you
ahve to run a cable from the Unibus out slot to the Unibus In of the next
backplane.

Given what everyone has said, that's probably true, though I thought
the jack was wide enough to accomodate a 6P plug (the ones that are
actually attached to the keyboards are 4P, though). I have quite a
few in my basement, but I can't go down to look just now.
If

Fascinating... that's probably the most useless specification I've
seen in a while, considering that most Europeans have no need to
know a damned thing about FCC regulations.

BSR (Birmingham Sound Reproducers) had remarketing division that in the

them with their red BSR logo and then sell them via mail order out of
computer magazines (Computer Shopper, etc). I still have a proprietary
interface single speed caddy-type cdrom drive and 8-bit ISA
interface/sound card that someone I knew purchased from them in the 1990s
who was under the impression at the time that it was a modern

it before it was replaced with a real Soundblaster and much faster IDE

I think it's 4p4c. However, the jacks are built so that a "smaller"
plug will even fit into a larger jack, so a 6p6c (RJ11, RJ12, RJ13 and
some more) will also work.
No, generally one should not use a smaller modular plug in a larger
modular jack. Most plugs do not have relief slots next to the outermost
contacts and the polycarbonate plug body will permanently deform the outer
contacts in the modular jack. This happens a lot with 8P8C (RJ45) jacks
that people attempt to plug phones into that use 6P4C, 6P2C, etc (RJ11)
plugs.
There /are/ a few 6P type modular plugs out there that do have relief
openings that will somewhat fit 8P8C jacks, but they are very uncommon.
The plug fit is still loose and it isn't something the modular plug
standards (from Bell System) ever really intended.

If you're trying to buy the plugs, though,
you probably want
to search for RJ11 because that's what most stores sell them
as (just like you want to search for "DB9" serial plugs when
you really want DE9 plugs).
That's pretty much the gist of it. I had to push very hard to get the
RJ11, RJ45, etc stuff corrected on Wikipedia but eventually prevailed. The
main argument had been that "well, /everyone/ calls them RJ11, RJ45, etc",
however in the end, there was plenty of documentation on the misuse of the
RJ (Registered Jack) nomenclature.

I'm looking for the right jack/receptacle for a lk201 keyboard for an
keyboard adapter.
so, is this a "RJ11 6p4c"?
I believe (though I could be wrong) that it is a 6P4C, but not
It looks narrower than a 6p housing to me... I would check. If yoy are in
the States, the common telephone plug is a 6p2c or 6p4c. If it looks
narrower than that, it's a 4p4c.
If you're trying to buy the plugs, though,
you probably want
to search for RJ11 because that's what most stores sell them
as (just like you want to search for "DB9" serial plugs when
you really want DE9 plugs).
Over here they are often listed as 'FCC68' connectors. I am not sure what
FCC regualtions part 68 actually specifies, but I assume that's where the
name comes from.
The Registered Jack system/standards came out of Bell System and was used
to replace the hard-wired system for their phones. The FCC adopted the
Registered Jack standards into Part 68 as part of the later deregulation.
This was well before any sort of IEC adoption of these modular connectors,
although it looks like Wikipedia currently gets that partly wrong. Sigh.
Technically a 4P4C "handset cord" plug doesn't even have a Registered Jack
designation, since RJ11, RJ14, etc only apply to the telephone interface
itself, but that didn't stop people from calling them RJ9, RJ10, RJ22,
etc, similar to people calling 10P10C plugs RJ50.

Message-ID: <5228F194.5040002 at gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed
I found a small pile of boxed NOS Teletype corp. motors in a junk store
earlier:
small, p/n 177870 (115VAC, 3250rpm at 60Hz)
small w/reduction gearbox, p/n 193958 (115VAC, 110rpm at 60Hz)
medium, p/n 319392 (115VAC, 1725rpm at 60Hz)
medium dual-shaft, p/n 337286 (115VAC, 3600rpm at 60Hz)
medium with frame, capacitor & thermal reset, "28F motor
unit" (3600rpm at 60Hz)
medium dual-shaft, p/n 195801 (115V, 3600rpm at 60Hz)
large, p/n 159739, marked as "unit motor 28C"
There are a few dates which place them around the late 1960's / early
1970's. There's a wiring diagram in with the "28F motor unit" which
claims
to be for "CXB-1 and MU43 motor unit".
Any ideas what equipment they were for? Model 28 machine, perhaps, given
the 28C and 28F references...
cheers

Sorry I can't help you with the PNG
decompression, but I think it is
very cool that you are working on a new Amiga game! Do you have a
website for the work-in-progress details?
Cheers,

Apologies for the slow reply...
I have just finished (as of Tuesday 3rd Sept) the ASM code to decode 16
colour images produced by Personal Paint (Amiga). I have started adding code
to decode 16 colour images from MS Paint - which shouldn't take long as all
the hard work decoding the IDAT data has already been done :)
Here's a link to a page where all the latest info regarding my game will be
displayed.
http://www.aliensrcooluk.com/mysite/glists/my_amigagames2
You can find a list of new Amiga games on the English Amiga Board too:
http://eab.abime.net/amiga-scene/68891-amiga-games-wip-released-index.html
Mine isn't listed their yet. Once it is playable I shall ask them to add it
to the list :)

Has anyone come across one of these before and
more importantly (to me!)
has anyone any data sheets or a manual on the tape drive.
The drive has a Toshiba label on it saying "Cartridge Tape Drive MTH 0551
F001 Model No. CD-1000C" and has a direct drive capstan.
It looks like a 1/2" Cartridge Drive and it was used on the Data General
Desktop Generation E6270 drive. I can find no mention of it on the internet
so far!
I had a couple of those go through my hands. I really liked them although
they were not successful.
The hard drives were 15 meg and it would take two modules. I would be
surprised if the tape drive was larger than 30meg.
Looking forward to pictures.

All,
I'm working on my STEM outreach project, and I need some "props." These
items can be broken, as they're supposed to be passed around and examined
by elementary-school aged children.
I'm looking for the following...
Punch Cards (used, unused, scrap, etc.)
8" Floppy
Paper Tape(?)
Sextant (long shot, I know. I'm reaching out to some pilots I know.)

One of my recyclers has provided me with an Excel spreadsheet of IC chips
that date back to the 1970s.
All are NEW.
She is willing to sell in small quantities to end users, and will accept
PayPal for payment.
Prices are by offer, there is no set pricing. Please be fair, since this is
an experiment to see if she will let me offer other old stuff out to the end
users.
Please email me at sales at

I will include instructions for contacting her directly.
