Lately, all I've seen in 0.100" prototyping board is really inferior
phenolic material in small sizes from China with nearly unusable pad
patterns. Adhesion of the foil to the board substrate itself is
chancy at best.
I used to be able to get fairly good-sized (6"x10") pieces of FR4
protoboard with useful patterns (e.g. laid out for 0.300" DIP, with
power traces down the middle and pads extending for 2 holes from each
DIP pin) with all holes being plated-through.
Short of taking old PC ISA or S-100 prototyping boards and cutting
them up, does anyone know of some good sources for proto boards?
Thanks,
Chuck
While cleaning I came across a bunch of AB parts some of which have socketed
Z80 cpu's, ctc, sio's, ram and rom. If you have any interest please contact
me off list.

Hi all, been years since I contributed to the list (I'm your archetypal
lurker,) but that's normally 'cos I have nothing useful to contribute, so
yay for a chance :-)

For what it's worth Tony, if any of your cameras are 35mm, I have a
dedicated film/slide scanner I'd be more than happy to run some negs (or
positives!) through if you did want to get some digital images to share
with the list. I'm based in Leeds but travel to London pretty much every
week for what it's worth.
(If you didn't want to entrust negs with me - and I wouldn't blame you -
I'd be happy to give you a roll or two of TMax B&W film & you can post me
the exposed rolls back - I can process & scan them myself at home.)
(Oh, the offer of scanning negs/slides is of course open to anyone if you
need it, within reason!)
As an aside, maybe a love of old cameras and classic computers is a
natural fit :-). Although I do shoot digital, my favourite camera is my
Canon A1, an absolutely beautiful bit of kit IMHO, and I'm hoping a
1950s Russian Zorki rangefinder is going to land in my lap before
Christmas! Shameless self publicity - if anyone's curious, some of my
photography is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/snowgoons/ ;-). (No
classic computers there though!)
Cheers,
Tim

are these that hard to come by:

pretty cheap. I'm in the get rid of stuff mode though,
couldn't see bidding on it (unfortunately).
I'd be interested if anyone has one though, or
something similar (preferably Intel, but I'd consider
others).
I was supposed to get my hands on a Compupro box, but
the guy is dragging his heals...

Since I got the 11/34 up with one rl01 and one rl02 drive, I was able to
read a stack of RL01 cartridges that came with the 11/34 as well as a few
others that I got from other sources.
In case there is something wonderfully interesting on them that anyone has
been looking for, I posted a directory listing of all the RL01 packs at the
following URL:
http://www.ezwind.net/jwest/RL01DISKS.txt
If anyone wants any of the files, just let me know off list. Once I check
with the previous owners to make sure that file isn't personal, anyone is
welcome to a copy.
One of the cartridges has MPPascal. I am not sure if this is MicroPower?
Pascal or if it's a variant of OSI Pascal-2? I do also have OSI Pascal-2
v2.1F on RX02 floppies. I also came accross an RX01 floppy that contains the
source code for the RT11 driver and bootstrap for the COI Linktape II.
One of my RL01 packs contains XXDP diagnostics, and it is a different
version than the 2 verions I've seen available on the net. In addition, I
have an RL02 pack that has diagnostics that are older than most I've seen
around. I believe I listed both in the online directory listing.
Another question - if under RT11 5.04, a disk pack shows "invalid
directory"... doesn't that rule out RSX and RSTS packs? In other words,
aren't those directories at least visible to RT11? I'm wondering what I can
assume if a pack shows invalid directory under RT11 and isn't bootable with
regards to the likelyhood I can consider it a scratch pack. I'd rather not
init a pack that may contain something. Is there a better way to look?

I was thinking about putting together some standard MMJ cables, but I
realized I didn't know what the standard lengths were. Can anyone tell me
which were the most common/useful lengths for the original DEC cables?
I've seen and use cables as short as 18" and as long as 50ft. I've used a
lot of them that were somewhere in the 12-15ft range, but I'm not sure
what length would be the most versatile.
