At that time there were the VT05, VT50 and VT52. VDU's ASR33,LA30 and LA36 printing terminals. I remember being shown the VT100 prototype and being totally blown away. It was streets ahead of anything else and became the industry standard. Rod Smallwood -- Wanted PDP-8/e CPU board set KK8E

Just send me the account name you'd like (lots of people seem to prefer their old timesharing system login names :-), and the email address to associate with the accot. Noel
Re: 8mm cinemax type film players (almost OT)
I guess that depends on your opinion of "reasonable". I have a number of 8mm home videos my father made but every place I looked at was prohibitively expensive (several hundred dollars per reel!!) Or on location, perhaps (I'm in the UK) A few years ago I had mine and my fathers 8mm films transcribed and I don't think it cost more than £50 for about a dozen reels. (I certainly wouldn't have paid £100 a reel) At that price the DIY solution seems the only reasonable one. But beware of framing problems. Andy
Re: 8mm cinemax type film players (almost OT)
I just went to goodwill bought a projector and set up a little screen with a and black frame and used a nice modern video camera to film the movie being projected. It's actually very easy to do.Take the time to get the lighting right. Tip - Project closely to the screen, the smaller the projection the better the resolution. Why? if you want the best image, then use a relatively low wattage projection bulb, remove the projector lens, and mount the camera to focus right on the filmgate, if you have a suitable camera that can close focus for that size.

It's actually very easy to do.Take the time to get the lighting right. Tip - Project closely to the screen, the smaller the projection the better the resolution. There are I am sure lots of youtube how to videos on this. Projectors are easy to find in local shops for $20. At least around where I live. I own three of them. Most have a regular 8 and super 8 adapter so you can switch between the two formats.

Hi All, Is someone here, who has the documentation for an Dilog SU726A Rev. C, Unibus SCSI Controller? Looks like the documentation is not on the Web, as google doesn't return any helpful link, and Bitsavers miss it also. Many Greetings Ulrich

Re: 8mm cinemax type film players (almost OT)
Most projectors of the era of super/regular 8 fulm have an adapter to hold either to the reel in place. Otherwise they're used the same way.

Re: Seeking correct EuroCard dimensions

But when I submitted a template to the Kicad project at https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/pull/1441. I was told that I need to trim the board back by .15mm, citing this document: https://www.elma.com/-/media/general-web-content-files/resources/pdfs/us-corporate-dimensions-of-pcbs-d.ashx?la=en&hash=13B1EAF4FF743087F8B7E87BB10A1D20C44C40BD This doesn't seem to make sense to me. I always thought that the bearing surfaces on the card cage would be spaced slightly more than the card width. What's going on here? What am I missing? The VMEbus spec says the same, tolerance is [+ 0, - 0.3mm] so take the .15mm off and you're good ;-) Actually look at the connectors & grid, so you need to take of .075mm of each edge, so the connector area stays the same ...
