Vax I believe I have a 4mb clearpoint in my 11/83

Because the VGA pinout has changed over the years: You can either drill a small hole to make room for that extra pin, or find an old VGA...

Many thanks Jimbo.

I entirely agree with your analysis.

You're premature judgment based on so few words is very faulty. Nearly a lifelong alcoholic, who multiple times tried to provoke me (to have me...

That is so gloriously terrible that of course I'd love to convert that properly if the tape surfaced.

It looks like 26-1066 to me with a bit of ink bleed on the last 6. For example, compare it to the 60 Hz that also looks like it says 80 Hz.

I went back and inspected that sticker, which honestly is a pretty crappy sticker, but it *really* looks like 26-1068 even though it says Model III...

Yeah, it should show up, otherwise it'll never be read and maybe in the case of the pets discussion, that doesn't matter. but there are topics that...

You must have a very forgiving sister. Cherish her.

The solid lights, then blinking lights, means the CPU is running through POST, which generally means the board is still worth salvaging. If you got...

Harumph. 'Need,' being semi-modal, doesn't necessarily require the 'to' particle but can take the non-inflected bare infinitive. So, while you are...

On the previous photo you posted: here, you can just see the "Gates" peeking out from the rightmost cell. From the second photo of the battery you...

No, they're American. My idiot sister picked it up. I, literally, curse at her and call her a retard everytime she says "it needs mowed" or "it needs...

...or the MG set was spinning down. And some older systems simply had all of their internal logic stored in core. cf. the Univac Solid State,...

Many thanks, and feel free to snag the 6060 documentation for bitsavers. Out of the images you have, the DOS is missing, unfortunately, so we're...

Hi Falter, I think one of the other major points that if I recall correctly Al Kossow bought up is: = should new posting or updates to OFF...

Maybe they think it's twitter and theres a limit... or they just don't speak the language since some other languages don't have all those pesky...

Some systems had power fail restart options, where the system generated a high priority interrupt which would save the machine state while the caps...

JVC SR-VS30, which has a TBC built-in. For umatic, I have a standalone broadcast TBC.

Your satellite board is the same as my one so for the moment, ignore the tech ref handbook and just look above the ceramic disc capacitor, on the...

I don't think main RAM will ever be as fast as CPU cache RAM, and storage space will never be as fast as main RAM.

I actually got this from the original owner from Pennsylvania and it looks like he sold them given the documentation I have. Thank you. I...

I doubt that many of those made it out of Canada. Looks like a Gates SLA battery made up of X cells 6x2V = 12V. The ones in your unit are...

Nobody's perfect. My post had to do, not with people saying "it needs TO BE repaired", but rather "it needs repaired". *That* is what I find pathetic...

If I could get her working again, I'll let you know. I was worried there was a leaky battery in there that may have leaked all over the boards (for...

Well, then i apologize because my reply had horrible grammar and run-on sentences... It could be because I've had way too much coffee today, though. ...
