Slide Rails for Integrity and/or BA23

by pontus＠Update.UU.SE

Hi I've just brought home a 42U rack and started mounting things currently in shelves and on the floor. But I'm missing some hard to get slide rails. Does anyone have a spare set of rails for an Integrity rx2620 or QBUS BA23 box for sale? The Integrity rails look like this: http://www.trademoon.com/assets/images/default/A6939AZ.JPG BA23 shelves look like this (except some missing parts): http://www.plccenter.co.uk/en-GB/Buy/DEC/702076101 Kind Regards, Pontus.

Some scrapper in NC has an old machine Labled TRIAD he is scrapping

> From: Josh Dersch > Someone should try to rescue that; they're very rare... I personally don't want to get into this (I'm already knee-deep in PDP-11 stuff), but I can help with the logistics; I'm down in SE Virginia, very close to the NC line. So if someone wants to do this, but is e.g. on the West Coast, I can wrangle getting it, and getting it shipped out. Noel

Interested in UNIVAC 9000 Series (and IBM 360)

Some may recall the Nova 3 front panel discussion some months back. I bought a Nova 3 front panel just for the heck of it, and we discussed replacing lamp, and have the correct lamp info now. Nova 3 CPU, 2 16K boards, Basic I/O and Anyway the Nova 3 karma system was watching and guess what. http://jimsoldtoys.blogspot.com/2016/11/data-general-nova-3.html So now I may really be doing work on the lamps on both my system and on the spare front panel. Maybe the Star Trek gods are doing this, since we have a DG copy of Star Trek too. Getting scary. thanks Jim

Archiving Fortune 32:16 bits

by aek＠bitsavers.org

spent way too much time on this the past few days I dug up everything I had on the system, took pictures and dumped firmware and floppies Maybe someone will figure out how to remove the serialization some day bitsavers.org/pdf/fortuneSystems floppy images under bits/ I also started reverse-engineering the board, mostly to see how the mmu worked. Pretty basic, four base/bound sets made up of two 12 bit registers in three bytes the 12 bit adder is applied to A10-21 This all looked familiar, esp the bus pinouts. I think I had docs at one point for expansion board developers. Have no idea what happened to that.
