I'd quite like to see a fully fledged panel for Q-BUS based PDP-11s, or
even a VAX.

Hi all,
I'm in need of a new cabin and might be willing to part with a couple of my
more unusual systems to fund it.
I have a complete Xerox 6085 with monitor, keyboard, mouse, and tape drive

minor yellowing on the keyboar
Hi All,
I have what appears to be an Altair 8800 with the original Rev 0 front
panel, but the rear panel and PSU is a back-to-front version of what's
standard on the 8800b.

I'm after an 8/E, F, or M (with full panel). It doesn't need to be well
equipped, just enough to run OS/8 from RX01/2s (I don't need the drives).
Does anyone have one they'd part with? I'm prepared to match the average
ebay selling price.

What document did you try to open?
I've never used OmniWeb or Nexis, but my experience with Mosaic and early
Netscape versions makes me think you'd have a hard time getting modern
pages to load without crashing.
I should think that Lynx or the original Line Mode browser would be OK.

MITS only used the plastic guides.
Aren't the guides in the 8800 and 8800b mounted the same distance from the
transformer?

Hi All,
I've just archived my Catamount Pertec Controller software and manuals as I

The ATC-8 and ATC-16 series of Pertec controllers are still being sold by

Does anyone have any 9-track tapes for sale, preferably in the UK/EU? I'm
getting tired of ordering NOS tape from the US just to find they've got
sticky-shed...
I'd also like one of those early IBM style reels, the red/blue ones with
the three "viewing holes". Doesn't have to work.

Hi Rod,
Any chance I could commission you to do an Altair 8800 panel?
The silkscreen has almost completely worn off on mine, but I have a

Hi Kip,
Do you mean MITS Timesharing BASIC? I can't remember if Microsoft developed
it or not.
There's a copy of it on Mike Douglas's Altair Clone site, along with a
demonstration video.

I'm looking for a pertec controller suitable for a Qualstar 1052.
ISA/SCSI/S-100 interfaces are fine. If anyone has one to sell, please let
me know.

I'd be interested in the pertec board if the drivers ever show up.

I recently bought a Qualstar 1052 from Nico de Jong, which may fit the bill
if you're happy with 1600 and 3200bpi. I believe he has another available.
