Sorry to bother you folks, but all local sources
are turning up negative.
You might recall a few weeks back I reported that my son
was given a Mac LC II computer for free, sans monitor.
Well, now we were given a monitor, but it lacks, sure enough,
the DB-15 cable to connect it to the computer.
The world here in the Midwest seems to be solid into the PC
world, with tons of SVGA cables, including at stores that formerly
sold Apple products.
Where can I get a replacement Mac monitor cable?
Thanks. Kevin Anderson

The Cyberguys carry just about every computer cable known to man at fairly
resonable prices. Not the best quality, but they work. They're great for
SCSI and video cables.

You might recall a few weeks back I reported that my
son
was given a Mac LC II computer for free, sans monitor.
Well, now we were given a monitor, but it lacks, sure enough,
the DB-15 cable to connect it to the computer.
I have perhaps 35 different and incompatible monitor cables, 7 for just one
brand of monitor. You must specify the brand and model of monitor, then I
can tell you if you need a cable or some kind of adapter (I am no wizard, I
just go look up the monitor on the Griffin Technology web site).
http://www.griffintechnology.com/monitor.html
My latest relevation is that apparently none of the 13W3 monitors have
compatible cables from different brands. So far I have SGI, and IBM to
SVGA, and a few Apple and Sun straight through cables (13W3 on both ends
anyway).

New subject: TU56 and PDP-8/E available
After selling my collection I have a few pieces available that did not go. I
also held some wishlist items aside. I received a lot of requests for a
PDP-8/E and TU56 tape drives. I am not going to eBay these items and am
hoping someone here wants to buy them.
The PDP-8/E:
Serial #722. Surface rust. Poor front panel (scratches and worn). I restored
this mini to running condition and *really* don't want to spend the time
repainting it and having a new front panel screened. The mini comes with:
4K core, M865 teletype interface.
Full set of maintenance manuals. (all three)
The TU56:
Loaded, very nice and in great condition. Set up for PDP-8.Has the 5 G888
cards and an M961. This unit can easily be converted to PDP-11 by removing
the G888s and placing them in the TC11, removing the M961 and adding the two
TC11 cables. Serial #8045 - yes, that means 8045 unhappy customers and field
service calls! The TC11 has been sold.
Both are available for a decent offer. The going rate for a TU56 is about
$1000. Best offer takes them.
I am also selling some stuff *outside* the DEC world that was not part of my
collection sale:
HP21MX system, paper tape, disk controller, extenders, extra parts, internal
DEC manuals. I think Jay West was interested in these.
Data General Nova 3 manuals and books and software and spare boards.
Cromemco S-100 - very heavy, 4 floppy drives, manuals. Built like a tank.
Never turned on, I don't restore S-100 stuff.
Victor Graphics S-100 with floppy drives. Same status as above.
I have around 4 TM02/TM03 units I am scrapping. Pick up or I throw out.
Please e-mail me off the list.

The PDP-8/E has the top cover with it.. Some surface rust - not really a
problem.
