Check cards and get all the cables. They are somewhat hard to find if you miss something...

Oggetto: Getting an ibm as/400
A local recycling center called me and said they are to pick up an ibm
as/400 mainframe from a working environment. I left a deposit and am
scheduled to go pick it up in the next day or so.
I am not even sure of what all it comes with or what can be run on the
machine. Any advice in advance on what to expect?
I realize there are a ton of different as/400 models, they were not very
descript on the phone, so i have no way of knowing till i go pick it up
what exactly it is or what it comes with.
I rushed on dropping a deposit on the thing. The other guy at the place is
notorious for ripping boards with shiny chips out and trying to pass off
the dismantled machine to me. I asked for a picture of the thing on site
before it is moved. If it is not all there I am not purchasing it.
>From the description it sounds like it comes with some terminals and
printers too. could be interesting.
Is the guy that put the ibm mainframe in his basement on the list? ive been
wanting to talk to him.

Has anyone here figured out an adapter for one of the Fluke 9010 pods to
be able to emulate the multiplexed address and data lines of the T11? I
am just starting to look at this as I need to access these lines to
service an old video game board that used the T11 as the main processor.
Any of you not familiar with the DEC-T11 it is a 40 pin device that
emulates a PDP11 as far as I can understand.
I don't know anything about the PDP11 technically though so am pretty
much hacking my way through the troubleshooting procedure (which the
manufacturer of the game - Atari - did not provide.
Just flinging this out in the hopes someone here can help.
Thanks,
John :-#)#

Hi.
As some of you might remember I aquired a DEC Pro 380 (a VAX console really). I've
been reading up on it but I this I can't figure out:
1. Without the Extended Bitmap Option (EBO) is it posdible to display color?
Perhaps at the lower resolutions?
2. With the Telephone Management system, is it possible to play generic sounds?
>From the speaker or audio jack?
If anyone have a TMS or EBO for sale, I'd happily buy them. ( And a DECNA too,
while we are at it :)
Thanks,
Pontus.
A local reseller has a good supply of secondhand raised flooring available, for 7 USD per square meter, which I believe is a very good price.
Not affiliated etc etc, just giving a heads up on stuff that is not easy to find.
Look for it on Ricardo.ch

That would work on my poly88 video card,
with no grayscale.

1024. The (at the time) secret sauce image sensor
is a Mostek MK4008-9. 32x32 pixel image.

Which was a topless DRAM right?
Not often a guy gets to use the word "topless" and "DRAM" in the same
sentence, so I took advantage ;-)

Hi all --
Nearly two years back I picked up some Nova 800/1200 gear, mostly in
pieces. I've been trying to track down power supplies for these for
awhile, thought I'd try asking here again and see if I have any better
luck this time :). Both chassis are the "Jumbo" variety, and take two
power supplies each -- one that provides +/-5 and +/-15 and another that
just supplies dual +5. At the moment I have just one power supply -- a
dual +5 supply.
I also only have one of the "DGC NOVA RESISTOR BD" boards that are the
go-betweens between the backplane and the power supply -- the 52-pin
edge connector from the supply plugs into this board, and the board
plugs into the backplane. I need at least one more of these...
It's relatively unlikely, but if anyone happens to have any 800/1200
power supplies going spare, in any condition, drop me a line.
Thanks again,
Josh
Hi all --
Spring is nearly here and it's time to clear out some space. The
following stuff must go, drop me a line if you're interested. Local
pick-up in Seattle, WA.
Free:
- 2x TI 1500S UNIX workstations. One's an S1505 with a 68030, one's an
S1507 with a 68040. Both power up and pass built-in diagnostics. No OS
media, no drives.
- Honeywell/Bull DPS-6 workstation/server. No OS media, no drives, no
drive controller. CPU, Memory, I/O present. Heavy. A bit dirty, but
will clean up nicely.
For Sale:
- Zilog S8000. This is a Z8000-based machine that originally ran a UNIX
port called ZEUS. System includes CPU unit, two 80mb SMD drive units
(one with cartridge tape drive) and two empty units at the bottom. I
had the system powered up and running a couple of years back, but I have
no OS media (this would appear to be a theme) and the hard drives were
either wiped or corrupted. I have a few spare boards as well. I
actually really like this system, but I need the space. Asking $250.
Thanks,
Josh
Would like to purchase and restore a big mid-80s VAX. Stupidly passed one up recently.
Let me know if you have one you'd be willing to part with- also open to trades.
In the Seattle area, but a little too comfortable with arranging freight shipping...
