Anyone have a Heathkit H-9 terminal that may be good for parts? Also, How about a manual for the H-11-5 serial interface?

Thanks Al, 3 less to scan :~)
A question about the naming scheme of the files.
As example, let's take this one:
AC-E246B-MC CZRLEB0 RL01/RLV11 PERF EXERCISER
According to bitsavers that would become something like this:
AC-E246B-MC-RL01-RLV11PERF.pdf
where the last part gives a brief indication what the xxdp is used for.
I wonder if the "AC-E<number>-MC" is useful, but I have no experience
in this field, so that part could be very useful but I don't know that.
Also, I have a few 'patch' sheets, and their name start with "AF".
That would mean that they would not remain together with the original
xxdp in a alphabetic list.
Furthermore, is the xxdp name (CZRLEB0) not more meaningfull?
In that case the file name would become: CZRLEB0-RL01-RLV11-PERF.pdf
I'd appreciate any good advice before I start next week.
If you can give me (private of course) a URL, I will upload them as I
scanned each one of them as .pdf - IF you can use them on bitsavers.

Mark Grieshaber,
I know it's been a year since you posted a message
about getting rid of some of your SGI stuff. I thought
I'd take an extreme chance and see if you had anything
left. Especially for the P.I. series or Indigo2
series...
Thanks for your time,
Paul Early

>- What is the largest computer you've fit into a car?
Complete Nova 1200 system (full rack) in an early 80's
Honda Civic - basically, the top of the rack (with a
9-track drive) wedged in far enough so that it didn't
fall out (good thing it has a strong roof) - the rest
stuck out the back and weighed the car down to bottom
out on its springs - The front end felt *VERY* light,
and it would feel as if the front wheels came up if
you accelerated while going over a bump.
Fortunately I didn't have to move it far...
(Wish I had taken a picture!)

Dave

I'm not sure how "rare" it really is.
One of the major mac "parts" dealers (I forget who, small dog maybe), had
a bunch of these for sale not too long ago at $5.00 each. They didn't
seem to indicate any limit on the supply.
Also, from what I understand, the board isn't too useful as the Mac OS
doesn't recognize it, and so won't work with the ports on it.
It is probably about a rare as the Apple Set Top Box, it certainly seems
to be as functional. :-)

The subject says it all...
I'd like to wish everybody in "the hobby" a merry Christmas and, as I won't
be online too often until 09.01.05, quite possibly a happy new year as well.
Thanks to all who - both regularly or sporadically - populate this list and,
friendly and helpful, contribute to the massive amount of knowledge as well
as to the unique atmosphere here. Double thanks to the people who maintain
the list server, moderate postings and generally "do the work", thus
allowing this community to flourish. Last but not least, thanks also to
everyone who helped me with the questions and tasks I was personally
involved with - the network gear transport, the HP disk drive documentation
and everything else I forget right now.
Also, somebody has a Christmas Gift for a true Token Ring enthusiast (might
even suffice for more of them); I hope he doesn't mind me sending it here -
he didn't react to private mail suggesting he might crosspost it here:

There already were some "interested reactions" on the rescue list, but of
course nobody knows if one of them is gonna work out. If this load is
aquired, I might well be interested in some of this stuff; I've got some
Token Ring NICs at home and a few more inbound, but neither cabling nor a
MAU/CAU yet.
Yours sincerely, so long (and thanks for all the fish :-)
