Esprit keyboard

by teoz＠neo.rr.com

Got an Esprit keyboard today and was wondering if it is a normal PS/2 type keyboard? It looks kind of like the Esprit 125c terminal keyboard but with a PS/2 plug instead of rj11.

Q-bus replacement systems pdp-11

by ken＠seefried.com

> http://www.transduction.com/pdf/NuPDPq_brochure_Transduction.pdf Interesting. If you look at the daughtercard on the PDQ-1000 (next to the probably-a-pentium-ish-CPU-fan), it looks pretty much like a PC/104 connector (upside down, of course) and the back panel port config is oh-so familiar. I'm betting a bog-standard embedded X86 system (new enough to have PCI) with a QBus interface running an emulator. As to the PDQ-2000 and -3200, I bet those are just Intel motherboards in a rackmount case. Chris Elmquist pointed out the CCI1016 looks (to me as well) to be a Comtrol RocketPort. The CEI-1000 is pretty clearly one of the myriad of Intel desktop Ethernet adapters. Their DQP-1100, -1300 and -1500 are DRV11 work-alikes made by Logical.

Fw: Fwd: Commodore CBM Pet 8032

by nospam212-cctalk＠yahoo.com

I received this and as I am not in the UK, I'm passing it along. Contact them directly if you can help them out. David Williams http://www.trailingedge.com -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Commodore CBM Pet 8032 Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:47:17 +0100 From: 0 <brutus504bc at googlemail.com> Hello there, I live in England and own an old Commodore CBM Pet 8032 computer. Ten years ago it was working fine and today I was clearing house and decided to turn it on before trashing it. It did come to life but has lots of unrecognized characters at bottom half of screen, and when I type anything on keyboard it mostly replies with "?SyntaxC13" or something of this nature. Is there anywhere in the UK you know of where people will be interested in this machine ? As it doesnt appear to be working correctly, I have no real wish to "Ebay" the item. It would be a shame to throw this out. Thanks, Paul.

Q-bus replacement systems pdp-11

by useddec＠gmail.com

I know someone who developed a pc emulator for the PDP-11 back in the late 80's or early 90's and had it approved by the FAA to replace 11/55's used in older flight simulators.
