Re: DEC PDP-8/E wanted

For those interested in a PDP-8 system but don't want the large size/weight and maintenance issues, I built the full set of Spare Time Gizmos SBC6120 (integrated PDP-8), FP6120 (front panel for SBC6120) and IOB6120 (Jim Kearney's multi-function companion board) a number of years ago and would be

Re: DEC PDP-8/E wanted

Your chances are excellent, depending on your budget. I have two ‘8e’s, a straight 8, and a vt270. Each has issues: the 270 won’t boot, nor will the 8e’s (they have 8” floppies either rx02 or rx01’s, vt100/ 101’s, asr 33,35, and 32’s), and the straight 8 comes up with all zeros every eighth

Hello, I have the NCDbridge v. 4.0 software, and could send you a copy. I am still looking for XpressWare, unable to find. I use for host a Raspberry Pi with TFTP (can not get NSF to connect..), the Tektronix kernel (os.350) and other stuff is in /opt/tekxp/boot on the host. Best regards, Francis

Re: LCD screen repair

Whilst i have no experience replacing Apple G4 displays, LCD replacement in general is fairly easy. For starters, you're 100% going to need a new panel, preferably a like-for-like, though it's entirely possible you could stick in a different model if it's using LVDS connections inside. It's

LCD screen repair

Hi folks - be grateful for a little advice please. Some time I rescued an Apple Power Mac G4 (it's a beautiful machine, not that I'm a big Mac person, and I can't believe someone was going to toss it) - powers up OK but looks like it just needs a new battery as its not holding date and time.

Re: FS: Tek scope, HP LA, and Electronic components!

Jay, I appreciate it. I can't get in for medical care. I became disabled due to the Seasonal Flu and I am unable to wear a mask. Because of that I can't enter to get the care that i need. They have sentenced me to death because of something that just isn't dangerous and something that is

Re: FS: Tek scope, HP LA, and Electronic components!

Oh, man.. I am really sorry to hear that. I think we have corresponded before. But, if you have insurance, I would encourage you to at least see a Doctor somewhere. I had a brother in law who got 2 years of pretty good quality of life with Keytruda before succumbing to a blood infection

Hello all, I have probably developed cancer. I can't get in for treatment. I have enough lumps in my body that it probably wouldn't make a difference. So more than likely I am dying. I am asking for everyone's help. I am selling off all of my processions and simplifying my life before I
