I am about to toss a couple of non-working HP LaserJet IIP printers. Does anyone need IIP parts like the paper tray, fusor, memory card, etc? -- Paul Monroe, Michigan USA

VCFe (trades)

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

You poor folks, I'm definitely going to VCFe; I feel so sorry for those that will have to put up with me :) My vehicle/trailer arrangements are all made, and it turns out I'll have a bit more room than I was expecting. So... if anyone wants to arrange any trades in advance and is also going to VCFe, nows the time to let me know. I'm already getting all the stuff together that I'm taking so let me know asap if I may have something someone would want me to bring. Also, I'm getting into burlington late thursday and probably leaving right after VCF saturday. But is a group going out to dinner/bar/whatever friday night? If anyone wants, drop me a line. Regards, Jay West

Lots of Tandy Pocket Computers ...

by evan947＠yahoo.com

Handhelds are all I collect, and I feel this seller's collection is overpriced. Tandy pocket computers aren't really that rare or historically significant. Well, the Sharp PC-1211 (which is what the Tandy PC-1 actually was) is significant, because it was the first of the category, tied with the Matsushita (Panasonic/Quasar) "Hand Held Computer" series. Alas, the PC-1 isn't part of this collection. I estimate the value of this collection at abut $200. - Evan People collecting Tandy Pocket Computers, this is your auction. The guy is asking $375 firm (and believe me, if I had $375, I would be buying this and not even telling you all about it ;-). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3490262210 It's a very nice collection and almost all of them seem in great shape. I hope someone here can grab it. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.

I'd be curious to learn what devices their flavor of UNIX supports. Given the era, I'd almost expect MSCP disk and little else, but it'd be interesting to know. -- >from memory, their own ST506 ctlr emulating an RL02 and the usual MT/MS tape controllers.

by trestivo＠tarinc.com

Wai sun, I saw your post on classiccmp about Rainbow manuals. I may have some stuff at the warehouse if you're interested. I am the guy you bought some DEC stuff from on ebay (thom from tarinc). Let me know if you're still looking for the rainbow docs. I also have some rainbow hardware. Regards, Thom

"How to build a working digital computer" - Anyone with copies?

by jplist＠kiwigeek.com

A number of months ago a chap on the cctalk list mentioned this book (by Alcosser, Phillips and Wolk), and we started a correspondance whereby he took images of the pages and sent them to me. Unfortunately the chap appears to have disappeared (Presumably a busy fellow), and I only have a portion of the book. Does anyone else have this book and would be willing to image the pages (He used a digital camera, which worked fine as far as I could see) for me? The book is not easy to find, and being in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa, there aren't many obscure bookstores to find this sort of thing in. Not to mention the wealthy of resources on the ccmp list alone that might be able to help me. Thanks all; JP

NCD X Terminals

by auryn＠GCI-Net.com

Greetings! I am trying to finish documenting NCD keyboards and there's one area that has proven to be quite elusive... I don't expect to uncover any/many answers here, either -- but, it's worth a shot... Has anyone ever *seen* a "secure keyboard" for an NCD? Does it *look* the same as any other keyboard? If so, *which*? Or, was this an option that could be incorporated into *any* of the standard keyboards? It is my understanding that there were no other "magic keys" *added* to the keyboard to get these features; is that true? What was the procedure used to secure and unsecure the NCD? Presumably, the keyboard identified itself to the terminal in such a way that the terminal would add extra "security" options to the various menus. Were these user-visbile changes limited to the boot monitor? Or, were there consequences evident in NCDware? Are there any markings on the keyboard that identify it as such (e.g., a different model number, etc.)? Photos would be *excellent*! Extra credit question: what is the keyboard code that it delivers to the terminal to identify itself? Thanks! --don
