I'm sorry Bill; I didn't mean to sound like I was jumping on you
about it. I guess I was distracted when I sent my reply.

I've got the following 7" mag tapes (DECtape-I?)
available. All are original DEC, with orange center labels.
BB-N630A-BE
PRO TK V1.0 VMS 16MT9
1982

PROGRAMMING RSX-11M IN
FORTRAN

EY-0060E-CD-0001 (?)
PROGRAMMING RSX-11M IN MACRO
1983
I've also got a complete set of FORTRAN-11 manuals to go
with the tapes..
If anybody can use these, please let me know. Would
like to swap for LSI-11 stuff, but if nothing else will
see that these can go somewhere they can be used. I
have no hardware to read the tapes.

Anybody ever thought of building up a LSI-11-based
PDP system, but with a proper "blinky" front panel?
Would such a thing even be feasible, even with modern
LEDs?

I've got a few (about 10-15 pounds worth) of MAINDEC
diagnostic source code listings, for various hardware bits
and systems. Anybody want/need these? I certainly dont,
and would like to see them go to a good home.
I've also got some small magtapes, but will report on those
once i'm able to read the labels..

I'm back, if anyone noticed.
DSL and Phone modem cooked on June 30th put me off the air save
my 2400 baud pocket modem.
FYI: there were 1810 messages all but 9 were from Classiccmp...

Today at the UW-Madison surplus sale, a favorite haunt,
I found a box containing eight or nine software boxes.
Sure enough, it looked like a complete set of all the
software from IBM that shipped with the original IBM PC
circa 1982: DOS 1.1, 2.0 and the full UCSD p-System, including
FORTRAN, the assembler and Pascal. Everything pristine.
All disks in place. The shrinkwrap was still around a
few of the boxes.
No price on the box, so I search for the Pricing Guy.
"Sorry, we can't sell software." I knew about this
policy - the University destroys all the software it
can no longer use. I'm sad that I found the item on
the sale floor but can't buy it. He refers me to Boss #1.
He says "we can't sell that, how did that get out here?
Go talk to Boss #2." Boss #2 says "Three dollars."
Back to Pricing Guy. I say, "Boss #2 said three bucks."
Boss #1 is still within earshot, he says "Boss #2 can't
do that." (So why did you send me to him?)
Boss #1 takes the box and heads for the back room,
where the disks will be "recycled" and the manuals
shredded.

Actually, yes, I'd been wondering why we hadn't heard much from
you or from Megan lately...

And most of those OT, no doubt...

Does anyone want to fix a power supply from a BA123? The box
seems OK, but there was probably a short at some point. Local
pick up only - in Toronto. If no one replies, out on Wednesday for
sure into the garbage!!
Picked up a Laser PC3 portable computer that works great and has a nice
carrying case but no doc's at Goodwill
At an auction I got a Vibrac model 350 Flexible Disc Tester and a MTI
Accumcasure System 1000.
At another Goodwill I got 3 clear IBM Data Processing Magnetic Tape
holders (99 cents each).
They also had new 8" 3M diskettes in the box for $2.99 each.
The rest of the stuff is not yet 10 years old.
On the subject of shopping at places of higher ed. I have stopped going
to the U of M here because they got to were if you got a item out of the
trash they would keep it and give it to 'a person' that would sell it on
eBay (the school got none of the funds).
