Yes, sorry. I did in fact repost and that showed up in an earlier digest
than my messed up post. When I saw the first one I was hoping something
had filtered out the long one, but apparently it was only delayed.
Anyway, I went to fix the subject before I had written the reply (since
I read the digest, and my email client doesn't break them up, so the
default subject would be worthless), and somehow slipped and sent it
instead of getting back to edit the message text. I probably shouldn't
try to write anything in the morning before coffee.

Hi all,
Bletchley Park's computer museum has a working IBM S/36 5362 machine
going spare - it's been on display (unpowered) in the museum for a while
but we need the space for another machine.
It could go back into storage, but it's not the sort of thing that's
particularly interesting as an exhibit even when it's running, so even
if the space were available for display still, it'd probably be way down
on the list of desirable things to have in the main room for the public
to see.
Hence the asking here if anyone wants it. It was running last time
anyone powered it up. There's currently a Memorex terminal with it, plus
I'm told there are manuals and disks for it (I haven't seen those
personally to see exactly how many!)
Shout if interested...
cheers
Jules

Your welcome. If you haven't noticed these pictures may help in getting

Have any PDP-8 stuff you're willing to part with?
Here's once again my once-in-a-great while request for some manuals for
which I've been hunting.
I'm in search of several manuals for some Motorola MVME boards I have.
Please reply if you have any available for me to purchase.
MVME 236-1,2,3 (Publication number MVME 236-1 Dx )
MVME 133-1 ( " " MVME 133-1 Dx )
Support Docs: SIMVME133-1
MVME 134 ( " " MVME 134 Dx )
Support Docs: SIMVME134
and finally the Support Documentation (schematics, etc.) for an
MVME147S which is publication number SIMVME147S.
Thanks, Chris

Jay, would you please change
"Set date in archive to when the mail is claimed to have been sent, or to the time we resend it?"
to "When resent" on the "Archival Options" admin page.
This will put the archive in temporal order when viewed "by date"
I'm helping an academic out with some research on early operating ystsems
and he is in need of any version (the older the better) of either QDOS or
86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products on 8" floppy.
Can anyone help out with this?

I recently snagged three 8K core planes for a Cincinatti Milacron
Acramatic
system, one processor board and a front panel.
These are actually boards that were made by CM under license from
Microdata corporation and are actually Microdata 800 or 1600 parts.
This is due to Ebay and luck of course, but I was glad to add another
licensee of Microdata to my collection.
If anyone runs across anything from:
Cincinatti Millacron
Harris (like the semiconductor company, but really a Mini)
Basic Four
Reynolds and Reynolds
ADP Dealer Services (Reality only, not their LEO Boxes)
(LEO boxes were PDP 11/23's which someone else is welcome to)
Ultimate (not microdata, but on my radar screen, these are
Honeywell Level 6's with co processors)
Tellogic (phone switches for hotels, etc)
Bitek (phone accounting systems)
Please let me know. These will all be 1970 thru 1985 or so
vintage, and "minicomputer" in size.

Does anyone have schematics for this beast? There seems to be a fair
number showing up around my stomping grounds and all do the blinking
lights bit. They are a nice tube when working and are easily converted
