One of the things *I* like to have available is the
documentation,
particularly schematics, on the things that I have. As such, there are
docs and schematics on quite a bit of stuff here but there are also a
lot of holes. I'm not sure how the copyright laws apply to machines
where the company has ceased to exist, but it would be great to be able
to exchange documentation as needed. Things I have machine schematics
on include:
It is good that you have volunteered information that perhaps someone on
the list is dying to have. Perhaps a directory of people with maintenance
prints is needed? I would be willing to share information. Currently, I
have maintenance info on:
DEC PDP-8/e,f,m,s
Heathkits (various, I would have to look)
Interdata model 4 and 14
Sphere 6800
SWTPC 6800
Of course some of this stuff is stored away and may take an excavation to
find, but I am willing to make limitted copies.
Of course, I am looking for maintenance info as well:
HP 2100A
SGI Iris 2500T
Things I would like to get include the Altos,
Commodore Pet, Sol, Zeneth
H-67 Hard/Floppy disk unit, Compaq Deskpro and luggable, and a bunch of
others. Also, what about copies of the ROMs? I have a Zenith lugable
that is missing the System Roms and as such, have no way to even see if
it works. Anyone else with this type of problem?
Yes, it seems that EPROMs are robbed out of many otherwise nice machines.
A certain SGI Iris 2500T has just about EVERY ROM and big (PGA) chip
pulled out...
But it is still fun.
