here's an exchange I already had with them: From: "Kathy Marsh" <kmarsh(a)dnsllc.com> To: "Al Kossow" <aek(a)spies.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by spies.com id g7KCZnVt000585 X-SpamBouncer: 1.6 beta (7/05/02) X-SBClass: OK X-Folder: Bulk Status: RO Good morning, Al! I apologize for the delay in responding to this. I work 8 am to 3 pm, EST, Mon-Fri, so I had already left yesterday when you sent this. We are located in Erie, PA. I have some links with photos of the items. We are asking $999.00 plus shipping for everything or $950.00 plus shipping for the computer system and software (no printer).

VMS Conquest.

by gcroasdill＠enlighten.com

Just saw you posting about conquest. This was an old favorite of mine. I Googled it this morning because an old college chum and I were reminiscing last night. You might want to check out www.radscan.com/conquest.html Looks like ConQuest was ported to linux, and this site has a telnet service where you can go play (just like the good old days). Not quite the same as a VT100 hooked to a VAX750, but, fills the bill ;-) Take Care!

Proper Observance of ESD Handling Proceedures

by mail.list＠analog-and-digital-solutions.com

If any of you list members ( that are also eBay buyers, as many of you are ) feel as we do, that computer components should be shipped in some type of antistatic packaging, you might wish to avoid purchases from ... eBay seller ... davidth dba ... Tec Instruments Inc We purchased a computer card from them that they did not place in an antistatic bag. They just wrapped it in clear bubble wrap, which is not an antistatic material. As most, if not all, of you well know, the pink bubble wrap is the antistatic variety. We just purchased a roll ourselves that cost us less than eight cents per square foot. One square foot ( eight pennies worth ) would have been sufficient to have done a decent job, but that was not done. They also did not realize we had paid them for the part virtually immediately after the auction was over ( IIRC we purchased with the Buy It Now feature ) and SIX WEEKS+ LATER when we still hadn't received it, we had to call and inquire as to it's whereabouts. We felt that a job done that poorly did not deserve a positive comment, so we gave them a neutral comment calling it like it was. This seller sees fit to retaliate against neutral comments and lie in their response. Just a heads up for anyone that would wish their purchases not to be senselessly placed at risk of damage before you have ever even received it.

Free Stuff for PICKUP ONLY in Collegeville, PA (near philly)

by wonko＠4amlunch.net

i have had the pleasure of making a trip with Dave McGuire to rescue some very nice PDP-11/70 boxes. what were not expecting was the volume of stuff that we were presented with. being the people we are, we could not just flat out say no, we had to take it all. it filled a 24' truck. that's a lot of PDP-11/70. in the pile of stuff was a bunch of LA36 and LA120 terminals. only one of the LA36 terminals powers up and DTRT, the rest are assumed to be dead. this is WAY more stuff that i can deal with, so i need these dead terminals (including a dead LA120) as well as the working LA36 and four CRT terminals gone from my house as soon as possible. i am not one to lightly toss things into the skip, but if these are not recovered from my house in a timely manner, i fear i have no choice but to do so. ok, quick run out to the driveway, and here is a list of what is there for the taking: 1 LA120 (assumed broken) 4 LA36 (assumed broken) 1 LA36 (seems to work) 1 Qume QVT-101 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work) 1 Qume QVT-201 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work) 1 Qume QVT-202 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work) MicroTeam FE 4520 CRT terminal (powers up, seems to work) Diablo 620 (untested, has the extra tractor assembly) i think i have the keyboards for all the CRT terminals, but i'd have to check. -brian ps: some pics of the PDP-11 haul, as well as moving my large collection of VAX kit from dave's locker to my garage (stone/dirt floors SUCK) -- she manipulates my language | the scion of a cunning goddess | Fridge and i *am* but a MAN | Magnet watching my gratuitous torment | Poetry not looking herculean |

OT: PC Motherboard with a vacuum tube

My Mullard 1977 Data Book lists as equivalents 12AT7 ECC81 12AU7 ECC82 12AX7 ECC83 12AZ7 ECC81 but I notice that my 1976 book lists ECC81 as obsolescent! You can still get them, though. That's a long obsolescence period! There's not much difference, actually; ECC81/82/83 are the same except for gm, mu, -Vg and Ia: gm mu -Vg Ia ECC81 5.5mA/V 60 2V 10mA ECC82 2.2mA/V 17 8.5V 10.5mA ECC83 1.6mA/V 90 2V 1.25mA And I found the 12AT7 data elsewhere: 12AT7 5.5mA/V 55 2V 10mA The small difference in mu between 12AT7 and ECC81 might just be the result of minor differences in measurement techniques or manufacturer quality; I read something that suggests the ECC81/82/83 were designed as exact replacements for the 12A?7 series. All data refer to 250V anode voltage. Those dual triodes are/were often underrun at 150-200V, and obviously the gain and currents etc change if you do that. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Cygwin

by appleone＠mac.com

If you're running Windows, you want Cygwin (http://cygwin.com) which is a unix environment foe Windows, GCC, bash shell & everything (even a port of XFree86). It has a port of ps2pdf. "Unix environment foe windows"? Boy, what a Freudian slip! And I think Mr. Gates would agree! Steve Christensen

Noval 760 on eBay (again)

by sloboyko＠yahoo.com

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2052619348 This is that Noval 760 machine discussed earlier. If I had the room and could move it myself, the buy it now price seems reasonable (for a change!). It actually looks like a nice piece of furniture! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com

OT: dumpster dive and water/mold cleanup

by doug_jackson＠citadel.com.au

This sort of reminds me that the village isn't quite so global...Even though the marketing says so... Brasso is an Australian Trademark. It may not exist elsewhere.
