I just recently acquired a very nearly complete VAX 11/780. I will be spending the next few months in a partial tear down and cleaning and with luck, hopefully little money to get it operational again. I am looking for whatever spare parts I can find for the VAX and its TU78 tape drive. I have plenty of spare drives and such. One thing I am in need of is a console boot floppy and whatever diags I can find on floppy for it. Also, I do have a hobbyist license but I would like to get an early version of VMS to run on it if I can find a tape. I would be glad to pay shipping and/or trade for items. Thanks, Brian.

LA120 space bar

by roe＠liveblockauctions.com

I've acquired an LA120 Decwriter 3, it's missing the space bar. Does anyone have an idea where I could find one? I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price, and will of course cover shipping.

Toshiba T1910 manuals

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

Does anyone have a need for the manuals for a Toshiba T1910 Satellite Notebook Computer 486-33? "Getting Started", "Reference Manual", "Reconfiguration Guide", "Companion Guide", and an "Intel387SX Math Coprocessor User's Cuide and Utilities Software". Will sell really cheap (basically just cover postage cost) or they're going in the trash. thanks Charles

SMD cables: anyone with surplus A and B?

by pyrrhonean＠gmail.com

I have acquired several SMD disk drives (Emulex SD590 - 859MB), and have tracked down an Emulex QD controller but so far no cables. I understand the cables are relatively simple but it would be useful to have an example cable before I try to make my own, or I could save some time if someone has a box of surplus SMD cables they no longer need. thanks.

Wanted: Xebec S1410 and Astec AC9251 powerunit

by roelof_klaas＠gmx.com

Hello Everyone, I'm currently restoring a Dutch Holborn 6100 computer. It is an 1982 CP/M machine. Originally it had a hard drive. But the RMS-518 drive, the Xebec S1410 and the Astec AC9251 power supply are gone. Can anyone help me getting the original Xebec controller and power supply? I'd put some pictures on this Dutch forum. http://philipsradios.nl/forum/index.php?id=14288 And can anyone tell me the specifications of the RMS-518 disk? I've found the 503, 506, 512 and 514 but not the RMS 518... Thanks in advance! Regards, Roland
