I came across this plastic base thing for an IBM something.
It looks like a clip on PC base, maybe to stand a desktop case upright,
or maybe just a larger foot to a tower unit.
Its IBM part number 91F7591, FRU 92F0000.
On the underside is a picture of what looks like maybe a PS/2 desktop
computer.
You can see a picture of this thing at
<http://www.mythtech.net/stand.jpg>. (Its not the greatest pic, the Apple
QuickTake 100 doesn't do such a hot job of taking closeup pics).
A: does anyone know what it is for
B: does anyone want it as I am likely to toss it in the trash.

Hi All,
Thanks for the info on programming the 1350. I picked up another one of
these HP vector displays, a type 1347 (I think), at a surplus store. It
sounds pretty similar to the 1350 except that the display tube is built in
to the device.
I think that HP used these displays in quite a few of their spectrum
analyser instruments to generate the fancy displays that are required for
frequency domain analysis.
The 1347 was available in either free-standing cased form or as an open cage
that could be integreted into third party instruments. 3 BNC connections on
the rear panel allow you to drive an external XYZ display if you need to.
I'll have a try drawing some pictures using the programming information that
has been posted and let you all know if the commands are the same.
Cheers
Peter

Do you have model numbers for the OIS systems? I may be interested. Are
any of the manuals/disks for the OIS?

I try to get my machines running as they would have been in their prime.
This includes making the common upgrades that most users would have done.
Since I am restoring kits, there was wide variation in assemble quality. If
I have or can find the correct parts I am just finishing the assemble 25
years later. (I am talking about adding a capacitor or a minor cut and
jumper. Not increasing the memory by tacking RAM chips on top of the
original ones.)
I want the machine to work, even if I have to replace parts. I restored a
SWTPC TV Typewriter that had been very poorly assembled in the 1970s by
stripping the boards bare. (This is not the first choice procedure.) I was
able to find accurate replacements for almost all of the parts.

I also build new upgrade boards for SWTPC 6800 computers. Some of these use
current production parts and some use historical parts. These can added to a
system and removed without damage. (I sell copies of some of my upgrades but
I make them for my own use. Which is a good thing because I will never
recover my cost.)

Sometimes a hand wired board is a accurate example of what the original
owners would have used.

These upgrades allow the base level product to be upgraded to a full
featured version so you can run the vintage software.
Another area of restoration is documentation. I have been scanning
documents, converting them to text, then creating PDF files for the web. I
correct the typographical errors in the originals and add corrections. I
don't try to maintain the exact format or pagination. I do identify major
changes that I make.
I have been taken to task of not preserving the original documents with all
of the errors!

I have a small box that came with a box of odds and ends and I would like
to know what it is. It is gray 3-1/2 x 3 x 1 box with a recessed 25 pin
female connection point on one end.
The only markings on the box is CAMERICA, Patent Pending, Made in China.
Does anybody have any idea what it might be?
I was playing around with the HP LIF Utilities and found that it's
supposed to be able to read a HP disk drive via a HP-IB card installed in a
PC. I tried it but can't get it to work. The buss number is strange (bus 0)
and it says that the drive is incompatible. Has anyone here had any
experience using it that way?

Hi,
I just got 2 IBM 3101-Terminals. The display unit and the documentation is
missing. The only written stuff I have is the "Customer Problem Analysis and
Resolution Guide" which stuck under the Keyboard. Can anyone send me a mail
with documentation? Fortunately I have lots of spare Monitors, but I need the
pin outs of the video connector to solder a new cable. Does anyone has an
schematics for the devices?

I want to plug the terminal in my Linux-Server. I pulled an additional RS232
along the cat5 cables for administrative work. It is a bad idea to change
network settings over telnet if the devices won't restart. And why have I to
use a PC with 200W power consumption if I just want to type in some Stuff? And
an ASCII - Terminal is cool, too.
Thank you,
Elmar
