All,
More of the stack. if any of this interests you please contact me via 
Private (not list) email at mtap...@swri.edu.

If you do want something, send me your shipping address and exactly 
what you want. I'll get back to you with estimated shipping costs (USPS media 
rate where possible) as soon as I can. You send me payment (any method is 
acceptable; USPS does not recommend cash in the mail) and I will ship when 
payment arrives. If you want Fed-Ex or something different from USPS media let 
me know at your first contact and I will price that for you. If you can afford 
to send slightly more than costs, I'll collect up the surplus for Cindy and get 
it to her.
If more than one person wants the same thing, it goes to the person 
sending me the earliest time-tagged email. 
If Al K. wants anything for Bitsavers, he gets priority (even if his is 
not the first email) up until it leaves my hands.

There will be multiple sets of email from me, each with a short list of 
things, unless/until someone asks me to quit. 

Thanks for your attention!

This list is all Software. Some of it appears to match the books in the 
previous list, which is why this is titled round 10B - if you are interested in 
one of these, let me know to look for the matching manual (if I have it).

allocate floating vector for DR11-C in simh pdp11 autoconfig?

[Fritz Mueller via cctalk]

Hi folks,

I have found it very convenient to maintain a simh configuration that parallels 
the physical hardware configuration of my PDP-11/45.  I'm just about to add a 
DR11-C for a physical interface that I am building -- this will "grab" a 
floating interrupt ahead of a DZ11 that I already have in the machine.

Does anyone here know of convenient way to inform simh's autoconfig that I wish 
to insert a DR11-C?

cheers,
  --FritzM.

since this has bounced to a public mailing list

Vintage-Unisys-9662-Reel-to-Reel-Computer-Mainframe-Tape-Drive-FREE-SHIPPING/
https://www.ebay.com/itm/222833663701

It is a Kennedy 9662, Pertec interface (no SCSI connectors on the back)

100% chance the capstan has turned to goo.

The transport is particularly rough on tapes, as in snapping sticky ones.

It does have good 800bpi recovery, but I've broken too many tapes on them
to trust 'em.

The NASA Kennedy is a 8" reel, so it's no good for 2400' tapes.

I've got a Kennedy 9000 that I'm probably just going to scrap. I can't
deal with 100lb much of anything any more.

Aha, we were just discussing these on the Facebook vintage group... are 
those two populated racks and 17 empty ones, or is there more to it than 
that? It's hard to tell exactly what there is. I suppose I can stop being 
impatient and wait for an inventory :-)


I'm not sure what the deal is with the enclosure that's holding the 
graphics hardware - there are a couple of empty slots and I'm not sure if 
that implies there was something there which has been removed, or if the 
blanking covers have just been taken off at some stage.

Isn't that a Kennedy streamer?  Sure looks like one.

I note that the Kennedy incremental 7 inch reel drive in the NASA flight
case hasn't attracted a lot of interest.

That sample tape that I got, however does verify that the parity track
on this telemetry stuff is unused.   So that explains the 8 data inputs
with no parity on the NASA model.

That's awesome. I did Origin 2000 and Onyx 2 repair training over at
the SGI building that now houses the Computer History Museum.

I don't have any parts, but keep us in the loop. I would come down to see that

Looks like you have two CPU modules and one graphics module. Not a bad 
starter system.

That would be cool, do you know of nekochan.net? It's a fairly active 
SGI forum with several Origin/Onyx owners (myself included)

Anything in particular? Looks like you have enough to get a system going.
