they are 6 bit comparitors often used as address comparitors on early unibus boards. I'm sure there is an example of their use on early unibus board schematics i'll see about digging up the data sheet. from memory it's an xor/nand combination.

8" Floppy Project

by Watzman＠neo.rr.com

Personally, I'm becoming convinced that we need a USB to floppy "device, configurable for 8", 5.25" and 3.5" drives, single/double/quad density, single/double sided, with suitable software (of course). Perhaps separate slightly separate devices are needed for different drive types (e.g. 8" vs. 5.25"). And preferably capable of supporting two drives. I took apart a USB 3.5" drive hoping that it was a standard 3.5" drive (34-conductor interface) with a USB "controller". Alas, however, it was a "fully integrated" device. Anyone interested in tackling the USB adapter project? It's beyond my capabilities at this point.

IBM and Siemens Terminals available...

by wolfgang＠eichberger.org

Dear friends of old IBM and Siemens Gear, I have a few IBM 3277 (at least 3) and Siemens (1 or 2) Terminals available. They are from around 1980. The units come complete with keyboards. I left my scribble-sheet in my office, so I can provide the correct Siemens model no. tomorrow. If you are interested please take a look at http://www.eichberger.org/tmp_term.html. The units are located in Linz/Austria. Please contact me personally for more Details. I know these units are not very expensive these days, but I'd like to have a few Euros (not really much) or another interesting Item in exchange for them if this is okay for you. I do not want to put them up in Ebay, so if you know someone off-list feel free to forward this message. Best Regards, Wolfgang Eichberger ==================================================== Ing.

I think they are bidirectional but I'm not sure about that. They don't have the same pinout as a '245 but function the same. Dwight

Holy cow... Concealed weapons

by cb＠mythtech.net

>South Carolina requires training and has a written test and a shooting test >that people must pass before receiving a concealed weapon permit. Most >other states have training requirements also. >But, none of them are very arduous and yes many states don' t have training >requirements at all as you say. In NJ to get a carry permit, you have to be 18, and you have to petition a judge to issue you the carry permit. Before they will consider you, you MUST "qualify" with a handgun. That basically means, you know how to load, unload, handle, and can hit the broad side of a barn. After that it is entirely up to the judge if you get the carry permit or not. Generally speaking, they won't give you the permit unless you have a really good reason for it (work as armed security, or have some profession such as a diamond dealer that would give you a valid reason for it). General shmucks would not be given the permit... unless you happen to be buddies with the judge. So in NJ, it isn't impossible to get a carry permit, but it isn't the easiest thing for a general citizen to get. At least that was the way it worked 10 years ago when it was last of issue to me (I used to work for a security company as a "rent-a-cop" to pay for college). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Altos 386-1000 Install media, manuals, or anything else

by gordonjcp＠gjcp.ath.cx

Hi there, I've just acquired an Altos 386-1000. It's got an expansion board with what seems to be two AUIs and four extra serial ports, what appears to be 14M of RAM, and a 300-odd Mb hard disk that I suspect may be failing. Does anyone have a copy of any manuals, or any install media for this? It is running some kind of Sys V Unix, and does actually boot most of the time, but I'd like to fit another (quieter, if nothing else) drive to it. Also, it has a lot of old customer information from the previous owner, and I'd like to do a clean install if at all possible. Many thanks, Gordon JC Pearce.

going...going...

by ggs＠shiresoft.com

Hi, I have a Sun Sparc Server 490 that I posted as being available on the list for pickup (ie *free*) some time ago. Someone had previously wanted it but they seemed to have fallen off the face of the Earth. So, if someone doesn't claim this (and take it) it's going to the scrapper. Speak up now or don't bitch when it gets melted down! -- TTFN - Guy

by mross666＠hotmail.com

Sellam was kind enough to connect me with a System/32 donor a few months ago; finally got around to a couple of webpages. The machine: http://www.corestore.org/32-2.htm The troubleshooting: http://www.corestore.org/32restore.htm Thanks Sellam! Now if you find me a 360.... :-) Mike http://www.corestore.org

Looking for Visual 1050 technical docs

by rich_bramante＠yahoo.com

I have the "standard" docs that ship with this system, but am trying to locate copies of the "programmer's technical guide" and the "maintainence/service manual" for this system (these names might be approximated, but something along those lines). Please drop me a line if you might be able to help. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
