I looked in bitsavers under Matrox for the manual. The
board is a Qbus quad with the number PND00188 - 166 D06 2
(Matrox Alpha Video)
Made By: Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd.
Type: QRGB - Alpha
Date: November 10, 1986
Might anyone have a copy of this as a PDF?

Got this email from my boss. It's off-topic here, but perhaps some
cctalk'rs can help:

I'm interested in these two, as I am the programmer of the world's
only emulator (WinArcadia) of this trainer and it
would be invaluable for improving the compatibility.

How did you get to this screen?

Was this a boot from a physical tape in a physical tape drive? A
cartridge tape or 9-track? Do you have images of these boot tapes?
I wonder what it would take to get something like the HPDrive emulator
setup for HP-IB tape drives. I have an HP A900 but no boot/install
tapes, and even if I had them I don't have any HP-IB tape drives.

Hi folks,
I am looking for a dump of the boot and character generator ROMs from a TRS-80 Model II (not Model I Level II) if anyone can help out.
Thank you.
I have imaged all of the TU58's that I have in my possession.
See http://www.iamvirtual.ca/VAX11/VAX-11software.html for
additional 11/750 software including stand-alone backup and console
images. From what I recall, I read each of the tapes twice and binary
compared the results.
I used PUTR running on a *shudder* modern laptop connected to my
external TU58 drives. The external box uses RS232, so it was rather
easy.
Make sure you check the rubber roller inside the TU58 before you use
it. I had to replace all of my rollers with a slice of PVC hose in
order to use the tape drives.
Is there anyone interested in acquiring the various bits of media and
knowledge in one area specific to the Vax-11/750? The result of the
work would still go to bitsavers, this would be a special interest
group ;-)
My 11/750 has VMS 4.7 loaded, and I am looking for images that I can
use reinstall VMS onto a new drive (I don't want to scribble over top
of the drive I have for fear it may contain something important).
I would also like to organize a SIG for the really early PDP-11's
(PDP-11/20 and PDP-11/10).
Comments?

Thank you, monopoly.
I have some extra hardware that is free for pickup in Keansburg NJ starting next week:
Qty 2 - HP Laserjet IIIP Printers
Mixed lot of ISA network cards, mostly NE2000 clones. I think there's at least one NE1000 in there. Cards only. No docs or drivers. Most are dual Coax/10-Base-T
Lot of Corvus stuff: Constellation Controller, mixed lot of Apple II/IBM adapters, a Mirror board, I think there's a 5mb Mac Omnidrive too, Constellation Cables, and some manuals/software.
IBM Graphics Printer (EPSON MX-80)
Power 100 Computer
PowerMac 8500
Mac IIsi
Mac LC III
Mac LC I with a newer logic board in it. I have the original also.
(I have keyboards and mice to go with all Macs.)
HP Deskwriter
Wallstreet G3 233mhz
I'm moving to a smaller place and this old stuff has to go.
PM me off-list.
