My 4051 is down at the moment, it seems to be just a minor supply issue but I will get you
the demo files.
I really think the 4051 users are a really lose knit group out here.
Since I bought mine a few years back at that auction site for divorce prices, I have met
maybe half a dozen users,owners.
I used to work at Tek, and I know the VintageTek guys, they have one.
There is an ad-on, created by a Tek, called FASTGRAPHICS, that did two things:
write to the display at a reduced current, so the storage tube acted like a normal scope,
and the writes did not persist
A dramatic speed up in the vector draw, that I think outruns the bit-slice 4052
I think Brad Sebrink (wrote the 4051 emulator for the PC) was looking to glue us together
with a user's group. Nothing happened, because there is probably only 10 of us.
Surprise me, prove me wrong.
Hello Brad, you still want to create a group?
Randy

Looking at that Snoopy picture brought back a couple memories. Do the files/programs
necessary to create the Battlestar Galactica displays exist anywhere?
I?m also in search of a copy of the TekWeek that has the article on Battlestar Galactica.
As I recall they used $3 Million in Tektronix hardware on the sets. My dad should still
have a copy squirreled away somewhere, the trick will be finding it.
Cool! It?s finally available online!

Tektronix equipment has been used in movies and shows. This is the earliest film we know
of which features a 1952 Type 511A oscilloscope (based on the top louvers).

The other thing the Snoopy picture reminded me of was a, if I remember correctly, National
Guard exhibit at the Washington County Fairgrounds in the early 70?s. They were making
computer printouts of a Snoopy picture and, I think a calendar. I?m pretty sure I have it
in my archives, the trick is finding it?
