Subject: 11/44 Available in NYC
I have just turned off a PDP-11/44 which has been pretty much
continuously running since the early 1980's (I'm not sure when we got it
>from DEC). It is available to anyone
who wants it, but you better act fast, as others are itching to get the
room it is in (and will
probably consign it to the dumpster). There are also two RK06 drives,
but we haven't been
using them for perhaps a decade (using a Winchester disk on a Dilog MSCP
controller).
There are also two DZ boards on this system, plus documentation (again,
act quickly!).
Give me a call or send e-mail ASAP. This machine is located at
Rockefeller University
in New York City. You would need to Come and Get It ...

Just last week I obtained a Philips Micron 2001, with no technical
information, and would like to find out something about it. (Circa 1981)
Thanks

Sounds like an IBM 029 keypunch... (pictures and some notes on my website).

Hi,
I just got an Apple III with the profile HD. Does anyone knows how I can
access the HD?
I can boot SOS but from there I'm stuck what is the HD designation?
Any info on both the Apple III and the profile HD will be apreciated
Thanks.

I wonder if anyone on this list knows anything about the minicomputers
that Philips were making in the 1970's? They seem to be somewhat uncommon,
even though a lot of different models seem to have been produced.
Two that I know about are the P850 (a 16 bit machine, with a maximum of 2K
words of Core and 9 I/O slots, all built from discrete TTL), and the P851
(a later machine using LSI chips (SPALU was the ALU/register slice, PLANET
was the control sequencer, taking a maximum of 32K words of MOS RAM). The
P852, P853, P854, P855 (== P850 with more instructions), P856, P857 and
P860 are all mentioned in passing in the manuals, but I have no real
details
The other thing I am trying to find information on is the AMT DAP
(Distributed Array Processor), which seems to have been a square array of
custom single-bit processors. It's a little too recent for this list (it
seems to have come out about 9 years ago), but as it's not a PC, I doubt
anyone will mind discussing it here.

Did you know you sent an attachment with your email? "Richard A Cini.vcf"
Why?
Does anyone have the following Apple stuff for sale??
- System Saver fan for the Apple II+/e
- software for the Apple-made Apple II SCSI card
- Mac 400k floppy drive (with or without case)
- Apple SC20 or equiv. external hard drive (the one originally used with
the FatMac;
connects to the floppy port)
- IBM 5-1/4" floppy drive for the original IBM-PC (which I just got from
my uncle). Model is
Tandon TM100-2A with a baseplate number of 172289-001. Mine seems to
have a
short to ground in the spindle motor circuit (board attached to the
rear of the drive).
Alternatively, if anyone has a repair/serivce manual for that
machine or the drive
itself, I can make any repairs to it.
I'd also love to get my hands on a IIci system (for real use) and a Mac
Portable.

How can I get a copy of a previous list digest? I can't find the message
that I saved that had the list instructions!!
