Does anyone happen to know which font(s) best replicate the DEC logo, such
as this: http://www.vaxination.ca/vms/alpha/digital_556.jpg ...? I thought
Arial Narrow might be correct, but things like the bottom of the lowercase
"a" are different.
We're looking to make a DEC banner for an exhibit in our museum here in New
Jersey. (Or, does anyone have an existing DEC banner to loan / donate
inexpensively sell to us?)

Can anyone identify the power control connectors used on the H7874 power
supplies in the DEC BA4xx boxes? They look a lot like RJ-45s, but there are
some extra ridges in them so that an RJ style plug won't fit. And the
contact arrangement is different, so it probably wouldn't work even if it
did fit.
I'm trying find a cable so I can daisy chain the power control on a couple
of cabinets, or matching connectors so that I can make my own.
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
A local auctionsite yielded me a dead hp85 for 1$.
The error was quickly identified : the internal flatcables were badly aligned and shorted out several lines.
The machine is now functional, but still suffers from bad contacts. I might resolve to soldering some wires instead of the offending flatcables.
Of course tapedrive and printer need to be rebuild : any source for small quantities of these belts in Europe ?

I made something a LONG time ago by drilling a hole into the end of a center punch.

Yeah, and I guess the whole notion of the classic computers hobby
being a level playing field was also restricted to this list.
Ooops, I guess not even that is true anymore, huh?

All,
A couple of things I have but don't have time to fool with:
User's Reference Manual only :-( for Tenon Mach-Ten Unix for Macintosh.
also the box for the media, but *no media*.
A/UX Essentials Manual only for Apple A/UX
X/11 Reference for A/UX
X/11 User's Guide for A/UX
Apple MacX (User's Guide Supplement for A/UX (2 copies)
X-11 for A/UX and MacX install disks (3.5" floppies)
I'd like to get shipping + 25% or so; I'm in Zip 78254.
Also still looking to divest myself of many many reels of 9-track tape.
Suggestions welcome as to a better venue for this kind of
announcement, but I'm not a big fan of eBay. Contact by email
preferred, cellphone below is also OK.

You lucky dog! These are the rarest of the 88k systems (unless
you also consider the nearly-mythical 88k NextStation). ISTR a
LUNA appeared or E-bay a couple of years ago. Was yours that
one? The price was quite high IIRC. . .

Maybe there should be an 88k contingent this go around?
Maybe I can bring my 412. . . .

I know this is a 'blast from the past', but did anyone ever find the
McIlroy paper? The McIlroy algorithm both inspired and was in direct
competition with the NRL algorithm. The NRL algorithm was developed by
Votrax and the Naval Research Laboratory, details of which are discussed
in another paper (NTIS ADA0121 929, NRL report 7948) which is available
>from the national archives in college park, MD. (I'm planning to get a
copy of the latter, but have no idea how to get a copy of the M. D.
McIlroy paper. the version in the journal of the acoustical society of
america is not the complete paper, but a citation of it for a
conference, afaict)

My only claim to being *possibly* on-topic is the age
of the article (1974) and the fact that it inspired
many of the early phoneme-driven speech synthesizers
(Votrax, etc.).
Does anyone have access to a suitably good engineering
library with a copy of:
McIlroy, M D, "Synthetic English Speech by Rule",
Bell Telephone Labs, CSTR #14, 1973 (though I have
also seen it referenced as 1974!)
or:
Ainsworth, W A, "A System for Converting English Text
to Speech", IEEE Trans Audio & Electroacoustics AU-21 #3
pp 288-290, 1973
The former is far more interesting to me than the
latter :-(
(sigh) There are *some* advantages to being a student
(though those days are long past, in my case!)
I can try my local public library to see if it is
available via ILL. I guess I could also try the local
university's engineering library.
Thanks!
