Regarding RFID tags to organize collections Our x-ray film printers use the tags in the film magazines to identify the film type. There is an evaluation kit from TI available that lets you read out the unique long integer stored in each tag and you can program several other user available locations. I think if connects to the serial port of a PC. I have "salvaged" several tags and tested them with our ID badge readers, no response. Each tag is about 2" by 4" and looks like a chip and antenna printed on clear mylar carrier. Mike McFadden

Suggested solution regarding Jim Willing

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

I'm in the area near Kansas City, MO. I'm about 130 miles away according to mapquest. I'm willing to help if it can be arranged. If there were a master list of the stuff and where it's supposed to go then that would be helpful. I have a few advantages I work for a hospital and we have lots of packing and boxes left over from computers and biomedical equipment. I also pick up and drop off stuff at the Surplus Exchange in Kansas City occasionally. I also have a garage, however I am limited to one of the two bays since my wife's car has to go in. I have a 17 year old son interested in computers. I have an oversized ford aerostar van or could borrow a flat bed trailer I may be able to arrange some time early in October. The most important thing that I see is that Jim willingly agrees to this and there is not lots of bad feelings involved. I don't want to get in the middle of a bunch of irate people.

Anyone need 2,400 foot reel-to-reel tape?

by vcf＠siconic.com

A company just contacted me and said they have 12,000(!) reel-to-reel mag-tapes that they want to dump. They are interested in finding people who want some. I don't believe they want any money, probably just shipping. They are all used but erased. If interested then please get back to me in private and I'll pass on the contact info. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

Thinning out my collection - some machines available in the UK

by kevan＠heydon.org

Hi all, Anybody in the UK interested in the following: A Whitechapel MG-1 Cpu, keyboard/mouse and 17" mono monitor. Since acquiring the machine it has always been on my todo list so has never been powered on. There are some manuals that go with it, but nothing really technical just user guides I think. An Apollo DN3000 Cpu, keyboard, 19" mono monitor. I have a couple of ethernet cards plus a color graphics card, none of these are plugged in. Worked last time it was used but that was probably before the clock rollover in '97! Agaim some manuals, I think mostly programming ones. I have quite a lot of Sun kit ranging from 2/120 stuff through to IPX's covering things like two 4/110's, a 3/60, a 3/50, a 386i, SS1+ etc. If there is any interest in these then let me know and I can give more details. Collection from the Cambridge area would be ideal, but I am quite flexible because I want to clear out this stuff pretty quickly. -- Kevan

DEC Server

by TRASH3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

Decserver 100's are terminal servers for going from terminals that use 3 wires (rcv,xmt, gnd) to ethernet. The connection is for an AUI, which normally goes to thick-wire ethernet, but can adapt to normal ethernet. The biggest problem, as I recall, is they only speak LAT, so if you want to hook up terminals to something that doesn't run DECNET/LAT you have a tough time. Of course, us VMS guys don't care. That's what I remember. Anybody else, please correct me if the memory is wrong... Joe Heck

ADMIN: possible list maintenance window

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

There is a 50/50 chance that I will have time tonight to go down to the datacenter late afternoon/early evening to do the next part of the list server upgrade. If so, the list server (and the classic computer related websites it also hosts) would be down hard for at least an hour. After it comes back up, there will likely be a lot of squirrelyness (is that a word?) for a few hours afterwards as I find all the little gotchas I forgot to address. May not do it tonight, kinda depends on some other variables, but if I DO get to do it tonight I wanted to let folks know. Damn upgrade is taking time away from my HP2000 restoration *GRIN* Jay West

Needed - VT terminal

by chrisc＠addpower.com

Does anyone have a spare VT220, 320 or 420 that they'd be willing to part with? My 320 just bit the dust...very inconvenient time, too, since I was about to install my brand new OpenVMS hobbyist... :( Failing that, does anyone know how I can interface another kind of terminal to my MicroVAX 3100? It's got the MMJ connector on it...maybe if I could send the output to a wyse 60 that I have lying around... Cheers, Chris Cureau
