If you have a model number and/or pictures, we could probably figure out a
modern replacement. The biggest things to try to match would be size, CFM,
voltage, and the number of wires (for any PWM control and RPM sensor).

Really? They're DC300 cartridges.

Since I'm going to be out in Seattle for a week to participate in VCF/PNW,
I was wondering if anyone in the area could lend me a hand with help
reading in an old QIC-24 25MB tape cartridge or two?

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any CP/M software using GSX-80, which
could be an interesting demo, or game. I have found Kasekastchen (

I have the next one up, after fighting a bit with Blogger.
It details my efforts to resurrect a TS-1605 IBM compatible system that I
got off ebay (and probably spent too much money on).

For anyone interested, I've restarted my blog on things I've been doing
with TeleVideo systems, and have the first two parts (out of maybe a dozen
or so planned) up.

It looks like a memory module out of an IBM 3174 Establishment Controller.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a copy of some software to
make an IBM 3270 Emulation Adapter (the short ISA one) useful. I hear
that IBM's PCOMM/3270 2.0 - 4.0 or so will work (on DOS) with the
card.

I saw a copy of this pop up on ebay, and was wondering if anyone had a
copy / more information about it? It seems to be another networking OS
for CP/M systems like Televideo's TS-806 & 816.
Thanks,

$7-10 to sort out and carefully handle (vs usual strip for gold recovery),
seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd expect the cost has more to do with
labor than gold being recovered.

I'd guess that it was mostly for DECserver 500/550s to boot off of a
VAX/VMS host.
So... yes, a MOP server running o

After VCFMW this year, I've been looking at old projects I have and
was wondering if anyone has any leads on TeleVideo systems.
I'm looking for TS-800 terminals/systems, and interested in probably
any 1980s Televideo terminals, depending on price, especially the 950,
and 965s... and keyboards for
