The RT-11 (and RSX-11 and RSTS/E and ...) SIG tapes, like all DECUS
contributed material, had their authors sign pieces of paper stating
that the material can be redistributed and repackaged as necessary.
So there's no problem with manipulating any of these as you need or
desire.
John Wilson, at the top of PUTR.DOC, says:
PUTR is a copyrighted but freely distributable utility for
transferring files between various file systems and various
media.
He doesn't put any limitations on its use.
So I see no difficulties with using PUTR to do anything you want with
the PDP-11 freeware archives.

Seeing how much of the rest of the stuff you got was Apple ][-related, I'll
hazard a guess that this is a switchbox for allowing multiple Joysticks/
Paddles/etc. to be switched for use on a single Apple ][. The "old"
][/][+ joystick/paddle connector was the DIP socket and plug.
The Koala Pad that you picked up emulates a Apple analog joystick, BTW (or
two paddles, if you prefer to think like that!)

I've never seen an Apple ][+ which didn't "do" color. It was not unusual to
see them hooked to the TV. Often there were two floppy drives, and a 9"
Sanyo B&W "security" monitor sitting on top of the Apple][+ box with a
feed-through to an overhead mounted color monitor, 27" or so, for people in
a classroom to watch.

One point about "symmetrical"... you _do_ have the core plane in right-side
up, don't you? IIRC, the OMNIBUS side of the core stack is the one with only
grounds on it; the connectors with all the signals going to and fro is for
the top.
I'm not saying you did it, but it'd be easy to reinstall the stack with the
top side down.

I've found a box with 2 x 8" floppy drives. . . . external to some unknown
computer.
The box is a Panasonic JB3038P and inside are 2 X JA751 drives.
The drive connectors and the cable coming out of the box are all 50 pin,
exactly like an internal SCSI cable. Unfortunately it isn't recognised by a
SCSI controller, at least not without fiddling with parity and stuff like
that.
Does anyone know what this might have been for?
SCSI 8" floppy drives would have been great cos I don't think I'm ever going
to find a compaticard !

Hi,
Someone a while back was going to check out the PS pinout for an HP
Windows Client 425SX, but I lost the original message to remember who...
Does anyone have it handy? The scratched sticker on the back looks like it
says 20V~, but it's pretty scratched. The connector is 4 prongs in a
row...
Thanks,
Aaron
Yesterday was a pretty good day for me, as I found some of the following:
1. Tomy robot at thrift for $2.80 need some work but could not pass on it, too low a price.
2. Mics Grid items.
3. Nice Apple Mac items most not 10 years old yet.
4. 12 AMIGA software packages NEW and Unopened for the 500/1000/2000 series.
5. Various cards for the Apple II, IIplus, and IIe with some manuals.
6. About 30+ books from Apples to Next machines.
7. A Travel Data Systems 28 computer complete and new in box for $2.50 at thrift.
8. Koala pad for Apple II. IIplus, IIe
9. Something TG Products in Planto TX has mounting for 6 chips each with it's own switch ?????
And many more items not yet 10 years old. Keep on Computing John
Well, with the aid of the "PDP-8/e Simulator" for the Mac, I figured out
how to use the front panel, and execute the "Initial Operating Check".
Load it into the real PDP-8/m, and start it. Wait a minute, that's not
what it's supposed to be doing...
After a bunch of investigating, and going back to the "PDP-8/e Simulator"
to figure out how to display the contents of memory, I discover that there
is nothing in memory :^(
Based on the fact I can see what I'm trying to enter when I've got the
switch set to 'MD' and hit Deposit, it sounds to me, suspiciously like I've
got a bad 4K Core set.
Anyone have any suggestions on something to check?

Sorry to keep deluging the list with modernish freebies, but I figured
there might be a few list people interested...
Does anyone want a 486SX/33 base in a small box? It's actually the
bottom half of an HP Scanjet 4si (so, same form factor as an HP IIP
scanner). It's got 2 ISA/1 VLB slots...just perfect for a nice, small LRP
router... (I'm using an identical one for that at home)

pretty good hamfest in benson, nc probably because the greensboro one next
month is cancelled. picked up 2 tandy model 100s and 1 kyotronic 85 (same
thing) for $15, a mac adb mouse, XGA2 card still in box and other pc junk.
unfortunately, had to pass on a coco2 with disk drive and a really clean PS/2
77. it breaks my heart, but you really cant save everything...
