I have a Bio-Rad SRC 3200, which is a workstation that operated a
Bio-Rad FTS-40 FTIR spectrometer.
A few years ago I got it to power on and it runs Unix variant, their
product name was Idris. I have 16 floppies (dated 1992) that came with
the system, but the hard disk has died.
It is based on a 68030 CPU and has a floppy and SCSI disk and QIC tape
drive. Is it possible to run some flavor of BSD on this hardware?
What are the minimum requirements for BSD?

I was looking at this page on DigiBarn,
https://www.digibarn.com/collections/parts/ethernet-taps/index.html
and the old Ethernet transceivers. For the life of me I cannot remember
what the transceivers used with the Xerox 6085 (Daybreak) looked like in
1989.
There was wall to wall Xerox 8000 servers mixed in with 6085-Is at the
software testing lab, in El Segundo, California, DSBU (Documenter Systems
Business Unit) but that is now mostly a faded memory.

Hi,
I just saw an unknown to me connector listed on an eBay auction and was
wondering if anyone knows more about an "FS/2" connector.
Link - FS/2 to IBM PC-AT P-1940-0042 CABLE 6 FOOT FREE SHIPPING
- https://www.ebay.com/itm/304580270070
I assumed it was a typo / poor original copy that should have been a
"PS/2". But hovering over the label on the first three pictures clearly
shows "FS/2". Whats more is the kerning on the "F" is easily
differentiated from the "P" elsewhere on the same label. So it seems
that it's not the typo / faded label / etc. that I assumed it was before
clicking on the link.
So ... does anyone know what an "FS/2" connector is?

There used to be a cross-compiling gcc for MIPS specifically for the VR4121 in
the Agenda VR3 PDA, but it doesn't seem to be on any of the remaining sites.
Anyone out there got it or, he asked hopefully, the entire SDK? Binaries OK,
source better.

Why anybody would bid more than three hundred dollars for a bunch of ribbon
cables?

Unless there's something I'm not seeing here, I can easily (and exactly)
reproduce them.
I could even make them with red or "rainbow" cables if you prefer. I'll do
a set for the
"bargain" price of $250.

Hello again.
Before I begin, this is a re-send of a message I sent to cctech, which
didn't get through. So, if there are still plans to keep the cctech
address live, could someone look at this, please.
Anyway, to get to the point:
I have been doing some more digging, mainly in my basement. The
following stuff is available for free to anyone who can come and collect it.
DEC networking stuff:
DECServer 300
Multiport repeater DEMPR-AB
DECRepeater 200
DEC Microserver DEMSA-A
Another piece of network kit: Retix 2265M 802.3 bridge
A Compaq 2260 "Portable II" lunchbox PC
A Penny & Giles 7000D double QIC drive. No idea what that conencts to.
I'm starting on my (surprisingly large) collection of printers and
related stuff. This may require some sorting when people collect -
there is at least one box of printer parts containing things like paper
guides, winding knobs, and even tractor feed attachments, which need
putting with the correct machines!
Anyway, the following have already surfaced, and there is more to come:
TI Silent 700 terminal, model 743KSR
Mannesmann Tally MT80+ (little 80-column impact dot matrix machine,
quite nice packaging, slight chip on cover,)
HP9195AB Scanjet Plus flatbed scanner
Nicolet Zeta 8A pen plotter
Finally, one piece of DEC kit I didn't mention last time is the Magtape
drive. This is the sort that takes up the top 18U or thereabouts of a
rack, but doesn't go very deep. I've been sorting through my Unibus
cards (some of which are taken, but others may appear here), but I have
no idea what cards would drive this tape machine. Can anyone help?
The same disclaimers as last time apply:
> Everything is offered as seen. Most of it doesn't work. You have been
> warned.
>
> Finally, I have set up an e-mail address for you to reply to if you are
> interested: declutter(a)axeside.co.uk. I hope to spot replies to the list
> too, but it will help if you copy them to that address as well.
Thanks again,
Philip.
Hello,

MX-80
FX-80 - with manual and (box I think)
Both are parallel interface - Centronics, dot matrix printers taking pin feed paper and roll paper, both were working when placed in store, but condition now unknown (might be possible to test if required).
Located in UK - Lancashire. Please reply off list to mike_t_norris(a)hotmail.com
