New subject: New kid on the list with Mark-8, digital group & more.
Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking around the list and on the archives now since around
1997. But since this is my first post, I figure I still qualify as NEW!
Introduction:
My name is Bryan Blackburn, I live in the great southwest of the USA,
and I've been collecting vintage microcomputers since they were cutting
edge. I have been repairing and restoring electronic equipment for more
than thirty years now as my hobby and profession. My main area of
expertise is general electronics and RF communications, I dabble a bit
in Ham radio, and I'm fast on the draw with a soldering iron!
A short list of my collection is as follows, with comments:
Mark 8 Minicomputer - fully restored and pretty.
Multiple computers from The Digital Group, Z80, 6800 - I can just
about draw the schematics for these from memory, and I could build one
in the dark.
Kim-1 - Serves as my wall clock.
Home built S-100 machine - Never turned it on, don't know anything
about it.
PDP-11/?? - Seems to work(?) in storage, don't know much about.
Vintage (1977ish) homebuilt Apple-1 - I built this from plans by Woz,
just to say I did it, then promptly stole most of the chips for other
projects.
ADM-3A -With lowercase option
ASR-33 - Restored, works great.
ASR-32 -Terrible shape, paid too much for it, no regrets!
To see pics of some of these, take a look at my web site:

Bryan,
Wow. *Very* cool! I remember wanting a Digital Group system badly
too, but couldn't justify it to my parents and wound up with a TRS-80 M1. I
really wish DG had taken off. The flexibility in processor choice alone
seems absolutely invaluable to me.
Keep up the good work with your collection and attendant website!

Sorry everyone, I just contacted my web space provider (cox.net) ...
looks like the whole service is down with no ETA. Try back later is all
I can say.

Hi Bryan,
Welcome to the list. I'm fairly new here, myself and I lurked a while before
posting.
You have some very nice equipment. I am particularly fond of The Digital
Group machines. I had a friend years ago that built one with dual
Phi-Deck's, the TVC (TV readout & cassette), and the Z80 CPU. It was VERY
NICE, ahead of its time. Expensive, too!
The Kim-1 is another favorite of mine. I had one back when they were new and
mounted it in an aluminum chassis with breadboard sockets on the top. I
wire-wrapped an expansion board, adding another 1K of RAM, and extended the
cabling for the cassette I/F to micro jacks on the side of the chassis.
Then, with it all fixed up, I sold it. I've been kicking myself regularly
since. I have a VIM and a SYM-1, but am still looking for a "reasonably
priced" Kim-1.
I tried to access your web site and couldn't get to it. ??? I'll try again
tomorrow.
Regards,
Stuart Johnson

I'd love to trade a Kim for a SYM

If I had a spare, I'd trade - I have one SYM (complete with a beat-up
box with matching serial number), no KIM, an AIM-65 and most of
another AIM or two.
I've wanted a KIM for a long time, too. I could beat myself up for
talking a seller out of one years ago. It was obvious to me that he
really didn't want to sell it, so I guess I was just being too nice
a guy. :-/
I go visit the KIM in the Dayton Microcomputer Association's museum
everytime I'm at a Computerfest (11 days 'til the next one)

Do you have a typo at location $49 in the listing at
http://members.cox.net/oldcomp/kim1.htm ? It has:
46 d8 CLD FOR 24 HR CLOCK |
47 C9 13 CMP 47 C9, 24 |
49 d0 b5 BNE Ab A9, 00 -|
4b A9 01 LDA WHEN HOURS REACH 13, 4F C9, 00
And I expect that the comment for 24-hour operation should be *4B* A9, 00
Typos/OCR errors aside, pretty slick. How accurate is it?

Hmmm... You are correct sir!! OCR is evil. I thought I caught them all!

New subject: KIM-1 - loking for replacement keypad (
I have an original functional KIM-1, but the keypad
has been replaced with a clunky array of large keyswitches.
My KIM-1 came from a university first year lab, so I guess
the original keypad lasted about two weeks.
Anyone know what the original part number and source was
and if these are available anywhere? ;) I know it's a long shot-
but I want to restore the unit to original condition for a museum.
regards,
Heinz

New subject: Apollo Manuals and Tapes Available
I have some duplicate Apollo manuals that I'd like to unload. My
preference would be for someone to pick them up in Madison WI -- shipping
would get expensive.
I have 3 boxes:
Box DA1 - A pretty much complete Domain/OS "White wall" for SR 10 These
are almost all Apollo branded
Box DA2 - A mixed bag of Apollo and HP Branded manuals for SR 10. Not as
complete, but the most common manuals are mostly there.
Box DA3 - A really mixed bag of Apollo and HP manuals
First come first serve.
Also, I still have a bunch of tapes for Domain/OS SR10.2, SR10.3 and SR10.4
