2 x 16" Trinitrons, missing rear plastic covers
1 is a 98789a 64hkz, forget the other, 48khz
1 x 19" large rectangular color unit, doesn't work.
I'll be tossing these before very long.
This may be a larger conversation than I intend but how would you all
generally start if you ha backup tapes that you wanted to try and
read/restore?
Supposedly they're Amiga qic tapes. I'm a little worried about the
structural integrity of the tapes. Not knowing what software was used,
would this be a literal job for something like tar via a Linux system? Then
see if I can interpret the dump and sort out files afterwards?
I might see if a local group wants to help play with this effort since I
think I only have 1 drive in unknown condition.
Hello everyone I’m a young collector (18) of 60s and 70s minicomputers and micros. I have been restoring a PDP-8L and would love to find ether a Diablo series 30 or Dec RK03 removable cartridge drive to go with this system. I am in the uk South Yorkshire to be precise and would love any leads anyone could provide on where I could find one would very much appreciated. If nobody know where one of these drives can be located any means of mass storage for a pdp 8L and data general nova system will be appreciated since I want to move my collection forward and have the systems set up with full period setups.
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi all
I get the digest so I lag.

Come on over to "List: <fufu(a)flexusergroup.com>" there are people
still running those.
Peter Stark passed away September last year.
There's also Ingo Cyliax' 68030 box, also PC form-factor and ISA.

Through a mutual friend I've been shown a collection of computers:
MicroVAX 3400
- the module complement is KA640-AA/MS650-AA, MS650-AA, CXY08-M, TQK70
(with a TK70 drive), M9060-YA. In a floor-standing enclosure with "BA213
CPU Mod" on the label, and Model 640QS-B3
Alphastation 200 4/233 - there are three of these
Compaq AlphaServer DS10
Vaxstation 3100
also
HP Visualise C3000 - a pair
The widow believes they were working when last used. They are available
free to a good home/modest donation. Photos etc available.

preferably working. Or known screen issues but otherwise working.
the mono version intrigues me (model 700). But I need a color unit to test out all these screens I have sitting here.
Now if anyone should need a NOS screen for a 700c, email me directly. No flim flam on everyone's screen.
Greetings all, it's "that time", the time I've finally accepted that I no longer have the time/energy/space to devote to this collection/restoration hobby that I've been able to enjoy for several decades now.During this time, I've managed to amass a pretty sizeable amount of hardware, software, manuals, etc. We're talking half a garage, part of a large shed and a storage rental's worth of stuff. I need to go through and hit some highlights, but there are things from rack mount PDP-10's, an SGI (Challenge XL rack, Indy's), tons of old Macs (original, 512, original, Portable, etc), Lisa, Apple II, Commodore, TRS80, Grid, HERO robots, DG Aviion, HP PA-RISC, MIPS system, early luggables (e.g. Zenith), boxes of ISA cards, etc, etc, etc. A good 20ft uhaul trucks worth of stuff.There is no way I can piece meal stuff, so I'd be looking for someone, or an org like a museum, who is willing to take the whole enchilada.This is an early feeler before I start doing actual inventory to see if a) is anyone interested in/capable of dealing with a large collectionb) is anyone aware of someone, or a museum, that may be interestedI know I'm a bit light on the details, and we all know where the devil lives. But this is the first step.The collection is located in Central Texas.TIA for any interest, leads, pointers, sympathy, ridicule, etc.George
I'm trying to figure out how to created and load a "soft character set"
into a vt220 terminal. These documents:
https://vt100.net/shuford/terminal/dec_vt220_codes.txt, and
https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECDLD.html, seem to talk about how to do
it, but I don't follow this well. I'm guessing the fonts are made up of
escape sequences. Then I guess they are loaded by simply printing them to
the terminal. If that's the case, where are the examples of such
sequences?
Playing around with vttest, there's an option to "Test Soft Character
Sets" in the "VT220 Tests" menu. But I get the error message "You did not
specify a font-file with the -f option". Where can I find examples of
that file?
Putting these together, I'm guessing what vttest wants is a file
containing sequences described in those two documents. So, where do I go
from here?
