Hello, all:
I was reading an older book on MSDOS and it referred to the "IBM PC
Options and Adapters Technical Reference" which supposedly had detailed info
and schematics for all of IBM's adapter cards for the PC. It sounds like an
interesting addition to my PC technical reference materials.
Does anyone have a copy of this that I can copy? Joe Rigdon?

I have two of these things available. I think they allow appletalk to tcpip
connections. Prefer to trade for IBM SCSI drives 400m-2g or any PS/2
accessories.

Heh heh. Don't we all collect classic programmers as well?
I do. I have three or four including a Data I/O that we used to program
6309 and similar fusible link PROMs for the original model COMBOARD
(8Mhz 68000, 32Kb of 2114 SRAM, .5Kb PROM). The one that I use most
often is a universal programmer attached to a Commodore Colt. I've
asked before about software (I don't have the last rev for it). It's
a UP600a.
I also have a programmer for the C-64 - "Promenade", I think it's called.
While I may be able to program a 2708, I don't think I can do 1702As.

I have some Vitec Rasterflex cards I'm looking to get rid of.
double wide SBUS, 3 of them. Also, a single wide that says
Bit 3 Computer Corporation, with a connector that has about 62 pins.
That card might be the interface to the graphics controller box,
but I don't have that.
These are for Sun Sparc, and they work in Sparc 2 and 10 systems,
(and possibly others). They are untested, though they did work
many years ago.
Has software on QIC, and manual.

Rare!! Upgrade your Sparc 2 to 24bit graphics!!!!
</ebay hypermarketing>
Best offer by Thursday afternoon, or
I toss them, (or worse, try Ebay...:-))
Please reply off-list to kfergaso(a)swbell.net for if anyone wants
more info.

Several months ago I bought a Paratronics Logic Analyzer with it's
manual. Someone (in Canada I think) on this list asked me to make them a
copy of the manual. I made the copy but lost the message telling who wanted
it. If the person that needed will contact me and give me their address
I'll get it in the mail to you.

Hi everyone! Recently I've been taking a closer look at a system that I
rescued last
summer from the property disposition department of one of the local
higher education
concerns - a relatively well-equipped PDP11/34a along with a rather
broken RX02 disk
drive.
As far as I can tell, the PDP11 system is in fine working condition. I
had to put a
new power cord on it (the old one was chopped off when the system was
decommisioned
for some reason), but barring that, it powers up and the front panel
seems alive.
The machine has the following configuration:
M8256 PDP11/34a data paths module (KD11-EA)
M8266 PDP11/34a control module (KD11-EA)
M8204 Microprocessor, DMC-11 code, 1kb memory (KMC11-A)
M7867 SDLC or DDCMP sync interface (DUP11-DA)
M7867 SDLC or DDCMP sync interface (DUP11-DA)
M7856 RS-232 SLU with RTC (DL11-W)
BM873-YJ ??
M7859 Front panel console interface (KY11-YB)
M9202 Unibus connector
M7850 Parity for G651, MS-11 (MM11-BP/CP)
G652+H222A 16 kword 16 to 18 bit motherboard with 16 kword 18 bit core
stack (MM11-DP)
G652+H222A 16 kword 16 to 18 bit motherboard with 16 kword 18 bit core
stack (MM11-DP)
M9202 Unibus connector
M7258 Dataproducts interface printer controller (LP11)
I guess I've got a few questions about this machine. They go something
like this:
1. Does anyone have the pinouts for the serial line connector on the
DL11 board? I've
got the board, but the cable had been disconnected from it.
2. Does anyone know what that BM873-YJ board is? I'm just curious.
3. What would be the best way to get this old system running again? I've
got no
interface to that RX02 drive, and even if I did, I think half of it is
pretty well
broken - the plastic frame of the disk drive is cracked. I tried to glue
it, but
even if that worked, I imagine it must be terribly out of alignment now.
I thought
I remember someone asking about loading software over a serial line?
I've got my guesses as to what this system did in a past life. Perhaps
it ran as a
front-end for the IBM mainframe that the university ran, or perhaps it
served as a
router-type device on the MichNet network years back.. Maybe it didn't
do either of
these things. I'm not sure!
Thanks for any help!

Does anyone need a "Operation & Maintenance Manual for an Aydin Controls
8810 Patriot Series High Resolution 13 inch Color Monitor"? It dates from
about 1984.

Hi, Bill...
: Founded in the autumn of 1994 as an informal association
: of computer- history enthusiasts, RCS/RI incorporated on
: 1 January, 1998 under the laws of the State of Rhode Island
: as a non- profit corporation and is governed by a board of
: directors.
have you had a chance to think about that road-map for
incorporation I suggested some time back? Maybe just
a few of the steps you went through to drum up local
support, find people willing to sit on the board, etc.
Thanks,

Say, the PTDOS discussion just jogged my memory... wasn't someone
in PROTEUS going to modify it so that it would support soft-sectored
disk systems like the NorthStar and such? Do you know if that ever
happened?
If not, I'll have to put that on my to-do list. But there are a few
years' worth of projects ahead of it (CDC 6000 series simulator,
PL/1 compiler, Multics simulator, Multics source code rescue, etc).
But if my sanity and health survives, it'll get done!
Regards,

I have one, sans docs... I couldn't be much of a Colorado computer collector
without a machine from Boulder...
