They're marked Helitrim Cw12 and have a tiny screw at the top. >Where do the three ribbon cables from the CPU board going to?

The cables go to, from left to right... 1) a male 25 pin connector on the back of the chassis 2) to a board mounted behind the control panel - full of interesting small white chips labeled Beckman 3) This is a bit tricky; a bit of this one goes to the control panel, and another bit of it to a connector on the back (25 pin) with a sticker "TTY" beneath it. 4) a female 25 pin connector just above the male one Datanumerics DL8A can be seen at http://www.comcen.com.au/~adavie/weird/datanumerics.html Cheers A

Sol-20 revisited

by Marty＠itgonline.com

Thanks Jim. Have you replaced the video ram in the Sol-20 before? Also, do you know if parts are still available or will I have to cannibalize from a similar vintage pieces part?

Demography

by Marty＠itgonline.com

William, I'd be interested in the Sphere, SWTPC gear, etc you don't want. Thanks- Marty Mintzell email: marty(a)itgonline.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Demography Author: classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu at internet Date: 3/5/98 12:38 PM Well, lets see. I am 28 or so, living now in Carmel, NY (about fifty miles north of NYC), and like old things in general. Mostly. I am employed by one of the ISPs (originally the first ISP - the NSF) as an engineer. As you can probably tell by now, I tend to pick up the scraps of the network. I originally collected old radios. I had a small collection of consumer sets, some working, but dropped the hobby when two others came into my life - computers and old industrial/military electronics. The latter is simply from my consumer radio collecting days. The computers, however, probably started with the Apple II, like so many other kids in grade school. The first computer I ran into is my old DEC PDP-8/S, purchased "thru" a hamfest back in 1986. I was eyeing someone's PDP-11 boards (I was already a hamfest regular), and a man approached me with an offer I could not refuse - for $5, I could have a real, six-foot tall computer. I still have the machine. After that, I started getting others - mostly PeeCee and small mini machines. Sometimes they were pulled from dumpsters, other times they were purchased for a song. Right now, the collection consists of a PDP-8/S, PDP-8/E, PDP-11/23, PDP-11/34, Interdata 14, IBM S/1, IBM 5100, Sun 3/50, 3/60, 3/280 and 4/280, SPARCstation 370, SGI Iris 2500T, IBM RS/6000/T3B, and HP 2100A. Some machines work, some need work. There are parts of many others, but I am not counting those. I also have a bunch of ancient Sphere/SWTPC/Exorsisor stuff that I need to get rid of (I have no interest in it). Most of it will migrate to RCS/RI (so Allison can play with it). In addition to old computers, I collect old Naval radios and radar sets from the 1930s and 40s, as well as vaccuum tubes. At this point, I do not know which collection takes up more mass, as some of the shipboard radio transmitters are six foot monsters as well. Look at some of the old serials from the 1950s - they tend to show up as props in monster labs. And I do not play bassoon. I also voluteer time as part of the restoration crew on Battleship Massachusetts - a place with _real_ computers. Sorry guys, but engineering and craftsmanshipwise (is that a word?), the mechanical fire control computers are far more impressive than any of the digital stuff.

That was less common then, though maybe not for the folks on this list. My dad had a "portable" Teletype model 33 (I have it now) with an acoustic coupler modem. He had accounts on GE timesharing (BASIC) and the nearby University of Wisconsin Burroughs B5500 (I used WIPL, a little like FOCAL.) I got a BS in EE and MS in Computer Science at UW, where I ran PDP-11's etc. in the CS lab. Have mostly worked at Intel in Portland since then. No time for more bio now, but there is some more info on how I started collecting on my web site.

While we're at it (the buisness of veering grossly off-charter), who else here collects electronic music equipment of about the same vintage as the computers discussed here? I have a Korg Poly-800, Yamaha DX-7II, 2 FB-01's, CS-01, a Sequential SixTrack, 360 Systems MidiBass, and a homebrew MIDI interface to hook some of this to my Amiga. I have grandiose plans (ok, ok, not _so_ grandiose, but everything is relative these days...) to rip the 6581 out of my C64 (or better yet, find an old otherwise nonfunctional C64 and rip the 6581 out of there) and hook it up to a 68HC11 SBC I designed a few years back (the company I used to work for is still using and occasionally producing these) and controlling it (the 6581, that is) via MIDI as a cheap-o (and physically small) analog synth. (Cause let's face it, that's what the 6581 is...) BTW Any of you UK guys have collections of the old E&MM magazine?

DEC GPX II Q-Bus boards

by jthiemann＠castleton.com

I think I have that card set (but not the roms - but I do have a spare ka630 board) with full instructions. I can dig up specifics over the weekend, when I'm back in Montreal. My uVaxII does have the ability to act as an X client - I tried it, I have the 3 Tk50 Ultrix distribution set (but who wants that if you can have NetBSD?) I think it can drive the GPX cards too, but have never seen it do so myself - I don't have a monitor to hook up to it. If anyone wants the cards (the GPX and the spare ka630), they're up for grabs - either for sale or trade since I'm not doing much with the VAX (I like my Sparc better) -------------------------------------------- Joachim Thiemann DSP Coder, Castleton Network Systems I doubt therefore I might be. > -----Original Message----- > From: allisonp(a)world.std.com [SMTP:allisonp@world.std.com] > Sent: March 4, 1998 22:06 PM > To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers > Subject: Re: DEC GPX II Q-Bus boards > > <I have a three board set of Q-bus cards plus the boot ROM for a uVAX > II, > <dated from 1987, which supposedly turns a VAX server into a > workstation f > <DECWindows.

Info needed on Microbee, System 80, Pencil II, TI 99/4

The manuals I have lack details. >System 80 >--------- >Originally this had an RF modulator, but the one I have has been very >heavily hacked. Can someone give me the pinouts for the video DIN socket? I can do this. :) Going on the diagram I have here, we have: 3 ---- ---- 1 / \ / | \ / | \ 5 | 4 2 where 1 is +5v, 4 is video output, and 5 is ground. I have most (if not all) of the manuals for the System 80, including some doubles here. Adam.
