Hi all,
I've had a paper tape reader for a while but never had a punch to make new
tapes, and the ones i've found are not only very large but also very
expensive. So I'm toying with the idea of making an open-source punch, but
I can't find any detailed diagrams of how the mechanism works.
I'm
Anyone have any idea if any Imlac/Hazeltine Dynagraphic terminals are still
around? I've never heard tell of one beyond marketing information. These
were late vector-graphics terminals made by Imlac Corporation after they
got bought out by Hazeltine in the late 1970s. Any technical docs
A number of fun things to play with in Life. Most of these have to do with edge
effect and geometry. The simplest is to just have stuff disappear at the edge.
You can fold side to side and top to bottom. This is where interesting things
happen with changes in geometry of the game. Also, on the

Seeing that video makes me want to play around with game of life again.
Once it came out in October 1970 Sci Am, we were all coding it but
not nearly as much fun doing it as a batch FORTRAN job and having to
enter cells on punched cards (at least we could run that initial game

There's a fantastic implementation of Life using the custom Amiga
chipset to run the generation
I would love to see copies of anything you've done Tony. I was unaware you were
doing this, I am fairly certain I have full docs including service manual on
the n4000.

Not really on Classic Hardware, but we lost John Conway to corona :(
And I think, most of us tried it on a terminal before ;-)

Would be interested in a was-working-before-cap-damage donor one as well.

Hello all,
the headline says it all. DEC document number is EK-CI750-UG
I've been looking for that one for years but never came across a paper copy or
scanned document. Does anybody know where to get one?
The technical description and the schematics are available, though.
Thanks for any
