Zane, I have been searching for the Battlestar Galactica programs or data files since I got my 4052 and 4054 in 2000. We may have to recreate them from the couple of screenshots on the web :) The closeup screenshots on the TV shows may have been from 4010 series Tektronix monitors. I haven't seen any other info on the web from folks actually involved in helping during the taping of those shows. I created a program in 2000 in honor of Battlestar Galactica titled Vipers. That program is posted on the Tek 4051 Emulator github site. Here is a link to my post on vcfed - which has a screenshot from running it on the emulator - since I had not repaired my 4052 or 4054 until a month or so later. Here is a link showing running Vipers on my repaired 4054: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G3Xk-B5ZgUFYUTBrK3VevoqMXs_PIGsx/view?usp=… The random number printout at the bottom of the screen - showed my 4054 had just been upgraded to a 4054A from an upgrade kit I bought in 2000 off EBAY but had not installed. :) Monty On Sun, Jul 15, 2018 at 3:58 PM, Zane Healy <healyzh at avanthar.com> wrote:

My 4051 is down at the moment, it seems to be just a minor supply issue but I will get you the demo files. I really think the 4051 users are a really lose knit group out here. Since I bought mine a few years back at that auction site for divorce prices, I have met maybe half a dozen users,owners. I used to work at Tek, and I know the VintageTek guys, they have one. There is an ad-on, created by a Tek, called FASTGRAPHICS, that did two things: write to the display at a reduced current, so the storage tube acted like a normal scope, and the writes did not persist A dramatic speed up in the vector draw, that I think outruns the bit-slice 4052 I think Brad Sebrink (wrote the 4051 emulator for the PC) was looking to glue us together with a user's group. Nothing happened, because there is probably only 10 of us. Surprise me, prove me wrong. Hello Brad, you still want to create a group?

Do the files/programs necessary to create the Battlestar Galactica displays exist anywhere? I?m also in search of a copy of the TekWeek that has the article on Battlestar Galactica. As I recall they used $3 Million in Tektronix hardware on the sets. My dad should still have a copy squirreled away somewhere, the trick will be finding it. Cool! It?s finally available online! https://vintagetek.org/tektronix-in-movies-shows/ Tektronix In Movies and Shows - vintageTEK Museum<https://vintagetek.org/tektronix-in-movies-shows/> vintagetek.org Tektronix equipment has been used in movies and shows. This is the earliest film we know of which features a 1952 Type 511A oscilloscope (based on the top louvers). https://vintagetek.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/BattlestarGalactica_TW_06… The other thing the Snoopy picture reminded me of was a, if I remember correctly, National Guard exhibit at the Washington County Fairgrounds in the early 70?s. They were making computer printouts of a Snoopy picture and, I think a calendar. I?m pretty sure I have it in my archives, the trick is finding it? Zane

I?ve no doubt of that. As I recall, mind you this was over 40 years ago, there was no video display. To me, back then, computers didn?t have screens. :-) Zane

Bob, Have you got a link? I looked at ftp://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/tektronix/405x/ and http://bitsavers.org/bits/Tektronix/405x/4052_firmware/ and didn't see anything Monty On Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 11:27 AM, Bob Rosenbloom via cctalk < cctalk at classiccmp.org> wrote:

Bob, Thanks for the link! I downloaded the files and made my own 4052R12 Graphics Enhancement ROM Pack this weekend - and it works :) Here is a thread where I discuss what this cartridge does: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?64863-Tektronix-4051-and-4052-R12… Monty On Thu, Jul 19, 2018 at 11:27 AM, Bob Rosenbloom via cctalk < cctalk at classiccmp.org> wrote:
