FTGH - S100
This was a rescue (so its neither tested or power up) and some docs came
with it so I assume they belong to this machine (see pics).

The machine is located in Mortlake in the south west of Victoria
(Australia) and will need to be collected from there. Alternatively I
will be in Melbourne (Australia), more precisely Tullamarine, at various
times during January 2020 and it could be collected from there.

Hi!
As I work to repair my RL02 collection I need to check and fix the files
on the five disks in the original boot collection. Question: Does anyone
know which directories/files went on which RL02 disk pack?
Goal is to get the packs back to the point where I can do a good old
fashioned sysgen again.
Thanks!

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows what system either of these two keyboards
came from:
1) APL keyboard made by Maxi-switch, IC date codes in 1976, p/n 2129-009,
keyboard encoder has "NKBD-452 03-004-05":

2) Keyboard branded as Licon 55-500129, IC date codes in 1973 and '74. Has
three blank white keys, one blank gray key, and one blank black key, also
"home mem", "marg set" and "video rvs":
http://www.classiccmp.org/acornia/tmp/licon.jpg
I picked up both hoping that at least one would be simple parallel output
and so useful for homebrew stuff, but I am curious about what they
originally came from.

Greetings,
I'm trying to find a way to get my DEC Rainbow's monochrome output onto a
newer monitor than my aging VR201 (especially since I zapped something in
it and my diagnostic efforts to date haven't fixed it).
So, I found the bit in the Rainbow docs that said the output was DC Coupled
RS-170 signals and to convert to RS-170 (NTSC black and white) I needed to
put a 10uF cap inline to make it RS-170. So I did this, and fed it into a
generic NTSC composite video to VGA thing, and got only a little joy. The
first few lines seem to be missing, then the next few are OK and then
nothing else.
I tried to google this, but found nothing. My google foo has failed me.
Does anybody else have a working setup?

Gentlepeople,
I'm doing some work with my Pro 380 over the holidays, but have run into a snag because both my LK201 keyboards are dead. They fail poweron self test -- LEDs stay on and no response to any keypresses.
The odd thing is that the circuit board itself seems ok; I had a spare board that tests fine by itself, so I installed it as a replacement control board on one of those keyboards and now it fails. So that suggests there's something wrong with the key array that breaks selftest.
I don't understand that because the documentation says a stuck key would produce a selftest pass along with an indication reporting stuck key. And while I know LK201 keyboards don't like spilled liquids, one of those keyboards definitely hasn't been abused that way and I don't see signs the other one has, either. So having both fail the same way is puzzling.
Any ideas?
I'm considering building a PC keyboard LK201 emulation, should be a fairly simple bit of Arduino code.

Are there any surviving Lockheed MAC-16 machines anywhere? And/or does
anyone have a good photo of the front? (All I've been able to find online
is the angled shot that's on the wikipedia page, plus a few grainy images
>from marketing info).
I rescued a couple of panels a little while ago, but all I have are the
PCB, switch and bulb-holder assemblies; it might be fun at some point to
mock up a surrounding bezel/overlay, but I'd need some good quality
reference material for that.

Hi folks,
Maybe a long shot, but does anyone have a 3B2/1000 running SVR 3.2.3
that I could get an account on? Specifically, I need one with a compiler
installed. There's a publicly accessible one at the Living Computer
Museum, but unfortunately there are no compilers or assemblers installed
on it at all :(
I'm working on adding 3B2/1000 support to my 3B2 emulator, and need to
run some tests against a real one to be sure my behavior is correct.
All the best,
-Seth
