Again, I'm willing to pay someone (and send money to John!) to pick this up, pack it, and send it to me in California. I have MacMinix 1.5, but a couple of my disks are bad, and I'd really like to have the other Minix bits too. Literally simultaneously with John's sending of this email, I was running the Mac IIfx in my office at Apple, and rebuilding all of MacMinix 1.5.10.7 at -O2... Seriously! (Part of a personal project to port Minix 1.5.10.7 to a 68010 VME board set.) My first Open Source contribution was to MacMinix. I created a patch that flushed the instruction and data cache on the 68040 when necessary (probably too often, in fact) so it would run nice and fast on the Centris 610 that I upgraded to from a Mac IIci in late 1993. In any case, if I don't get these myself, I hope they went to good homes, and I'd absolutely love it if whoever got them could make and share disk images of the MacMinix disks since right now the only publicly-surviving artifact is the StuffIt archive of an installed system. -- Chris

They looked like tapes when I looked at the business edge of the cartridge, that's why I called them tapes. But if they're actually disks I'd have to check - they're in storage right now, where I was looking things over earlier today - but I _think_ they were Syquest, in which case they probably would be the disks. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTMLmo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

Or do I do the sane thing, and pretend I never saw this posting? :) -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X http://www.nf6x.net/

Given that they come from 1984 or so, they should work with the 11/780, 11/785, 11/750, 11/730, 11/725, and probably later VAXen with a Unibus. What's less clear to me is how long the drivers were supported. IIRC, the docs on Bitsavers mention support for VMS 3.x. I would rather expect support through VMS 4.X, but I wouldn't count on an SMP-friendly driver for VMS 5.X and newer unless support was specifically mentioned on the SPD. A lot of older stuff didn't get brought forward with VMS 5.X drivers. -ethan

Re: FTGH: Pioneer DRM-602X 6-CD changer
Pioneer's engineering for their digital products was in Torrance I think. We dealt with a rep and I ended up with one of their 3 x 6 pack 18 disc changer boxes. But they would not part with anything at all useful. The only document I ever pried out of them was how to make my fancy SCSI digital player play audio disks. Which is mostly what I used it for. The 18 disk changer had all sorts of fancy commands, but only one engineering release of drivers in the 98 (I think) days. They had no use for SCO Unix and considered any other such later systems as toys or not worth their time. Needless to say telling them and having their Rep who was a friend pound on them about the attitude went nowhere as did the product. The typical management most places other than Tandberg and to some extent Teac was that such outcomes were due to lack of marketing interest, despite a number of people saying they were interested if they could get info and write drivers. None of the information would have enabled any competitor to discern any secrets, and would have helped were they all to standardize their tricks. FWIW IIRC the drivers and software for windows that was release only allowed you to automate playing songs from disks thru the audio out on the deck. They had the capability to rip or read and play thru windows or stream (were someone to get to more than one cd) at the time, but the powers that be didn't care. I have 2 of the 6 channel internal ones, one of the single 6 pack units and one of the 3 x 6 pack units. I think NEC made the one which stores the cds internally and spits them out. Pioneer had the 6 pack gizmo. thanks Jim On 9/28/2019 6:43 AM, Adrian Stoness via cctech wrote: have you tried asking over on https://www.diyaudio.com/ or here https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php

Re: FTGH Large amount of DEC/Misc Classic computer hardware
I stopped by and picked up some stuff from Peter today. There’s a lot of stuff
but I was only prepared to take a few items (I ended up taking a couple of tek
‘scopes too).
I didn’t have time to sort through everything that was available but there’s a
lot!
He did mention that he has to be out of his space by May 31st and anything that
isn’t
picked up will be scrapped. I did take some pictures that I’ll put up sometime
tomorrow but what Pete has on his list below seems pretty accurate.
Pete is located in Richmond CA. I can forward his contact information to anyone
that is interested in acquiring some/all of the remaining stuff.

RE: FTGH Large amount of DEC/Misc Classic computer hardware
A pity this is the wrong the side of the pond and shipping is so expensive,
otherwise I would love to get a 5000/240 or 5000/260 and some 5" drives.

Hi Rob,
I’ve been told about reship.com who I guess are like a US equivalent of
parcel2go over here. You pay domestic US shipping to them and they add a
surcharge to forward it over to you, presumably by boat. What I don’t know is
how that affects import duty etc but it might be worth looking into.

Their charges vary in skewed ways not always easy to guage. With the one I decided to use, I've had a 1 ounce packet of LEGO bricks reposted at an outrageous cost of $40+ USD to Australia. On the other hand, they shipped my mainframe console from NJ to Oz at an entirely reasonable rate, and looked after it pretty well. If you have to use them make sure the seller attaches copies of the invoice or eBay sale page etc. to the inside and outside and also posts a signed or initialled one to you seperately as it really helps with customs. In summary they are a lifesaver if the seller has pulled up the drawbridge (as some of them have) to get an item shipped internationally. There are a lot of them to choose from and to be honest I just went with the one that looked to have the friendliest website and offered some extra services (repack item, photos of received item, amalgamation of shipments etc.) but you could certainly do some comparisons on their re-postage rates. Steve.

Some Q-bus machine. It was just the LSI-11 style open enclosure. I didn??t
look very closely at it.
Theres small card cage with some random boards but there is one of those tall
skinny cases that the older VAXstations came in that has an 11-23 or 5x
something with a A-D card
Also the HP calculator is a 9825

Re: FTGH clear-out at Mesa Electronics, Richmond, CA, USA
Regarding the thread started by Peter Wallace of Mesa Electronics the other month - I've been by for one load, and there are still tons of DEC and HP, and a few RS6k, workstations/servers. Including a rare DECserver that has a TurboChannel Expansion box. Lots of HP 712 and 715 workstations, a C110, DECstations (MIPS) and VAXstations (derp). Please note that the vintage calculators shown are spoken for. Sorry. Mesa has to vacate these offices by the end of the month. They're super nice people, just trying to avoid anything involving a scrapper. Please dig up that thread and have another look (sorry, traveling).

And I think that Datability VCP-1000 can do LAT to TCP/IP translation. /P On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 01:24:37AM -0700, Steven M Jones via cctalk wrote: > >> Link to some photos I took: > >> https://www.flickr.com/... > > > > The link is 404 for me. > > will look for the other post. > > > Sigh.

It appears to be a PDP-8 clone based on the Intersil 6100. I just now found this link to a better-preserved example: http://www.dvq.com/oldcomp/PCM12/ I've put photos of the unit I picked up here (more link variations from Flickr): https://flic.kr/s/aHskX3uiy4 --S.

I think I would quickly lose my mind. -- Anders Nelson +1 (517) 775-6129 www.erogear.com On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 9:30 AM, Steven M Jones via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > On 05/24/2017 02:16, Pontus Pihlgren wrote: > > > > I'm surprised to see a swedish keyboard there :) > > And I thought it was important to include that keyboard, because > somebody somewhere must be in a real jam if they need one... > > > > What is a PCM-12 ? > > It appears to be a PDP-8 clone based on the Intersil 6100.

A few more things HP 1650A logic analyser A couple Nova core memory boards lots of random connectors/cables/SMT parts etc The Dectalk is still here, for people that expressed an interest, I really have no time to ship it as we are moving at the same time trying to keep production/testing/shipping going so its pretty hectic, so if someone local could pick it up that would be great Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics

To whomever wants that DECTalk, I live in San Francisco and could pick it up and ship it for you! -- Anders Nelson +1 (517) 775-6129 www.erogear.com On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 9:49 AM, Peter C.
