Hello, for my personnal collection I'm searching for HP-16C, 33C, 34C, 67,
and/or 71B or all others HPs.
I have too a HP-41CX to swap for another machine.
Please respond me by mail.
Thx. Joel.
This is downright bad... :)
Today is class pictures. A few days ago, my parents (Remeber that thread?)
decided they wanted, of all things, a computer. My stepdad decided to see for
himself what was available online, rather than just listen to the TV.
(I think it's because he figured out he can automate a lot of his business
[Running a motorcycle shop] on it...) Anyway, they got a nice Pentium, with
a color printer and a scanner, and so they asked me to edit a few images
for them. So, we scan in his 2 grandsons, and a volkswagen bug, and combined
the 2 - they were dazzled. A few more interesting tricks - aged a picture
of them in front of an old car, etc. Anyway, they like the picture of the
volkswagen so much, they bought T-shirt transfer papers to print on. So, I
did that... I also got some time to play with said paper myself last night...
Remeber when I said today was class pictures? I'll be the one in the
decsystem-10 shirt... :)
I conjured up a T-shirt for myself! It has the decsystem-10 logo, stolen
>from the front of a TOPS-10 user manual, and underneath that is says
"If it's not 36 bits, you're not playing a full DEC."
(I know there should be a with in there, but there was no room on the xfer sheet)

Filing the graphite slug on the ground worked like a charm. Thanks!
Also looking at the drive, it seems that the drive has an Apple-custom
logic board. There's probably no chance that the interface to the internal
controller card is standard. Bummer.

That's the standard GS keyboard. I don't believe that true Mac keyboards
include a Reset key. Yes, the key above the numbers is the Reset key.
One other tidbit, the Option key can be used is also the solid-apple key.

I used to service the AT&T 6300 which was an Olivetti machine. The
keyboard used a DB-9 connector and the power supply was unconventional
using spade lugs to secure the power cables. Does this sound like your
machine?

Yes, the design was "original" (=completely different) for a X86-flavour
based machine;specially inside where the layout is spread on three
boards:CPU, VIDEO, 8 bit ISA.(have you openened it yet?)
Do you have the original keyboard also?

It depends on what you are looking for?
As "collectible" can be interesting because of its early solutions on
monitor power supply (1 plug with signal and DC-PS toghether) and its design.
Otherwise is another obsolete PC as many other of that age.

A friend and I wrote a game for 6502 machines. Versions exist for BBC
B, Acorn Electron and C64. The load module in each case is 20k bytes.
I haven't got a full list of time taken to load - must do that sometime!
- but on the Commie 64 it was one minute on the 1541 and SEVEN minutes
on the tape (same tape system as PET, BTW - among other things, saved
everything twice.) The BBC disk system was much faster - but you only
got 100K or so on a disk, and a file had to occupy a contiguous chain of
blocks.

Integral Data Systems, makers of the Prism and the Paper Tiger.
The Paper Tiger was rev 2. Rev 1 was this...thing...called
the BrighterWriter aka the IP-125 (text only) and IP-225 (with
bit-mapped graphics).
I used to have one. I can't remember what I did with it and don't
think I want to be reminded. It was really underwhelming and without
charm. Narrow paper path, lame tractors that didn't pull the paper
worth a darn, dain-bread graphics support (send a ^C I think to enter
graphics mode, then the characters you send go straight to the pins on
the print head -- one bit per pin, send another ^C to get out, and no
there was no way to escape ^C to send 0x03 to the pins).
At least it took the same ribbons that went in a model 33 Teletype.

How often do these come up for sale? A Cray, about 6 or 7 years old,
apparntly, is being sold in Australia. They're asking $100,000, which
puts it a tad out of my range. :) However, if it isn't sold it will be
scrapped - I wonder if they will accept a couple of cartons of beer over
whatever the scrap offer is?
Anyone want it? :)
Adam.
