The owner of those three sites has the unfortunate honor of being the only
person ever asked to leave the free hosting at classiccmp.org.
I gave him 30 days to get his stuff hosted elsewhere.
I even backed up all his content and databases and put them on a 1.5TB
external hard drive and shipped it to him (while keeping the sites running
on the classiccmp server).
Even though I told him 30 days, I gave him about 180 days before I said "you
have to get these moved or I'll have to turn them off".
After about another 90 days or more, I did redirects back to his home site
so they at least weren't dead.
The content and databases are still on the classiccmp server, although
publicly inaccessible, just to make sure the new locations are up and
running before I delete the content locally.
I did my best.....

Hi, all, I've had quite a few responses, so I think I have this covered now.
Thanks to everyone who responded; if you haven't gotten a reply yet, I'm trying
to catch up, you should hear soon! :-)

Apparently the buyer backed out, and the entire lot is now available as ONE
lot. There is no reserve.

Any given posting to a mailing list is sent by one person and read by many.
If there is a small effort to be made, it makes more sense for the sender to
make it once than all the interested recipients to have to duplicate the effort.
On the other hand, faulty spam filters may be more likely to stomp on messages
containing urls so there may be also be a case for not including urls in postings
if possible.

For some time I have slowly been working on restoring our PDP-8 to
operating condition.
Here are some notes on the progress:
http://www.datormuseum.se/computers/digital-equipment-corporation/pdp-8
It is sort of working now after reforming capacitors in the PSU, adjusting
memory currents and replacing a 2N3639 in a MA, MB, PC (R211) board.
But bit seven is still showing a 0 when trying to set it. I found an old
note that I wrote somewhere in 1990 that indicated the same problem was
present then as well so it hasn't happen lately.
I have now concluded that the fault is in the core memory module itself.
The sense winding is broken on bit plane 7.
So what are my options?
What are the chances that a repair is successful? It looks really complex
to take it appart and get to to layer seven. Then to find the broken wire,
somehow replace it and splice it together with the rest of the sense
winding... Not an everyday job.
Does anyone have a known good spare module? I have some MM15 modules for
PDP-15 to trade with!
Could a MM15 module be adapted to be used instead? It is completely
different foot print and it is a three wire stack.
The Russian stacks sold on Ebay? But what guarantees are that those work at
all and can be adapted... Probably other memory currents and cycle time?
Some other technology that can be used to make up for the missing bit
plane. But what technology and how. With as little intrusion in the
machine. I don't really want to replace the entire memory system with a
battery backed SRAM...
Any ideas, thoughts or a working PDP-8 core memory module is highly sought
for!

I have a 350 and 380. Neither work. The 380 is reporting a possible memory
error on the LEDs. Will the 350's memory work in a 380 (or vice versa)?

Hi all, as per the subject some raised floor is about to become available.
As much as I wanted and was going to grab this flooring myself, I can't.
So this is the time for someone else who needs around 500-600 Sq.Ft. of
raised flooring to go get it!
This flooring is about 8in tall, so its not anything crazy like some of
the newer taller stuff.
The floor MAY be available, he is not 100% sure yet.
The deal is they are selling the building and if the new owners do not
want it, it is for grabs but must be picked up in the next 2-3 weeks.
I am not sure, but you probably have to grab it all.
The floor is located in Sewell, NJ as per the subject.
It will be available for low or no cost depending on the interest level...
Please contact Mike at:
