Looking for a M8330 or a couple of SN74194's

Hi Tony I agree that the concept of originality is important in what we do. The system I have is original in the sense that all the parts are stated on the factory label. You could also say that any item with a date of later than the manufacturing date and not the result of a repair or upgrade is not original. Thanks for the tip re Cricklewood I will contact them. I must say that for the few days it did work I was really pleased with it. I had got as far as sending a stream of characters out to a screen at 110 Baud. I had forgotten how few instructions you needed to get it to do something useful. I actually used to service PDP8's at Harwell circa 1971. The first type had a large number of small boards with transistor based logic on them. The other type were as the one I have, using mainly TTL plus something that needs +3 Volts. -----Original Message----- From: cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Tony Duell Sent: 27 March 2008 22:25 To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Looking for a M8330 or a couple of SN74194's The former being a lot easier to find than the latter, quite apart from the moral aspect of keeping the machine as original as possible. I don;t know if they have them, but have you tried Cricklewood Electronics? They had some 74(LS)95 chips when I needed them to repair an old HP machine, and seem to be the only place that did. -tony
