hard to find.
I think I still have a few of each kind around here.

Hi Paul!
Pleasure to meet you. What kinds of things do you have?
What I would love to do is get the latest versions of RSX11/M+ up and
running. I have compiler licenses for Fortran77 and Cobol81, but only
11/M 4.1 and 4.0 media on RL02/01 packs.

Someone really wanted a keyboard for a Univac Terminal in the last year,
year and a half. Added to subject line to maybe attract attention of
who was searching.
Someone in Europe though, IIRC?
thanks

Ok, first hurdle is down. In reading the RQDX3 Controller Module Users
Guide it shows that for a BA23 the 50 pin cable goes down under the Q
bus chassis then loops straight up into the RQDX3. Which is impossible
to do with a modern (hee hee!) 50 pin SCSI ribbon cable as the cable
keys are set
Oh the 9058 is the "Q Bus" card with the 50 pin breakout to 34 pin and
20 pin lines for the various drives. That's not the RQDX3, and I don't
need that since I have the BA23 with a bulkhead connector.
And yes, I do remember nothing could be after a RQDX1 or 2 so they had
to be in the last

Yup. They're easier to get going for starters and since I got rid of the

To go from RQDX3 to any drive you need a distrbution panel as used in

Until recently, a computer was a person that did calculations. I suspect that
if they we smart enough to do the calculations they were smart enough to talk
to each other.

this to a font that can be installed on Windows? I found a site that says it
converts it (convertio.co), but I am suspicious of free sites like that.
