A nice little turnkey system based around LSI-11 with graphics. Its a
shame that "Herb" (is that his real name? Why should I take his
collection seriously when he uses a pseudonym!) disassembled his
system for parts.

Herb is OK in my book. So, yes, I agree - what pseudonym?

Hi Will,
I object to you calling your self Will instead
of William. How about all those guys calling them selves
Bob instead of Robert. Bob doesn't even sound like Robert.
Herb has gall calling himself Herb instead of Herbert.
( humor in case someone takes offence )
I just wonder what nickname I could use for Dwight.
PS Will
Where in the US is the HP1000?
Dwight ( for lack of a nickname )

Why would you think that? I've conducted business with Herb, and
that's his name. He had a Sun 150 on the site for a little while, that
somebody bought about a week before I managed to notice it.
Disappointed though I was, I kind of hoped it might've at least gone
to someone on the list.

Richard wasn't being serious. Not that many days ago someone was
expressing the desire that everybody should use their real names on the
list, and Richard dissented. He is *not* doubting Herb's authenticity,
nor would he care if "Herb" was a pseudonym.

I have an Amray 1610 with the PGT X-ray spectrometer that pairs with the
aforementioned computer. I have disks and docs, but the computer
doesn't boot. I moved it to storage until that great shining Someday
when I can figure out why.

For those not at home in the electron microscope business, it is the
measurement computer for an EDS system, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy,
that measures the energy in single x-rays emitted from a test sample in
a Scanning Electron Microscope or a Transmision Electron Microscope.
With it and the detector system you could see which elements that makes
up a sample.
I've got a PGT 1000 with an Alpha LSI in the base. The same form factor
but the computer takes up the full base. My system is equipped with a 16
kword 16 bit core memory.
It started when I turned the power on for the first time showing the
graph from the last measurement, I just love core memory. Sadly the
computer crashed when I pressed "CLEAR". I suspect that I have an EPROM
problem but haven't had time to do anything more with it.
There are manuals on bitsavers at
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/computerAutomation/
and a collector in Sweden http://www.sdu.se/computer-automation-museum/
Anyone got a spare front panel for Alpha LSI or schematics of it?
