Re: IBM RT memory boards
Hello, Thank you for your interest but it looks like my 70-year-old gray cells have let me down again; it's been a few years since I scrapped this system but after some discussion it turns out that these boards are actually for an early RS/6000 (7012/7013).

Was there any software of note for Chromatics? My first employer had already spent a fortune on one of the Z80 ones when I started in 1979 or so. It had some flavour of BASIC in ROM. I'm not sure the floppies were working by the time I arrived. It was owned by the electronics hardware design people. The software tools people (where I was) did all the serious work on PDP11 (RSX/IAS and RT11) and eventually VMS. I left there in the mid 1980s. As far as I could tell the Chromatics had never really been used for anything more complex than a limited functionality large screen teletype emulator. Instead, low end LSI11 (including VT103) had been used for any serious work around the lab or around the factory, until PCs started to take over. I liked VT103s, but not so much the TU58s (we were one of the many sites that wrote something RSP-compatible that allowed use of centralised "remote disks" via serial lines, instead of the actual TU58s). There's a bit more software (and documentation) for the PDP11 stuff, thank you :) One thing the software people did buy in the mid 1980s which was great to watch was an Envision dot matrix tabletop colour printer/plotter, and an accompanying colour terminal (far superior to the VT24x of the same era). The printer used four separate ribbons and multiple passes over each line of text (if necessary) and spoke HPGL iirc as well as private text-mode escape sequences. The terminal was VT compatible and Tektronix 401x compatible at rather higher resolution. Nice stuff, but at maybe £3000 each they probably didn't sell many. By that stage the Chromatics had vanished into a dark dusty corner. regards John Wallace regards John Wallace

What's the significance of "3462K", as is hand-written on the 8080 CPU board? Is that a serial?

Apple LaserWriter ever work with the Apple Lisa?
A colleague was adamant that the Apple LaserWriter worked with the Apple Lisa; my counter was I thought he was likely confusing his memory with the Mac XL which via Macworks and LocalTalk could use the LaserWriter drivers to print although more slowly due to the 3MHz speed difference (Mac XL at 5MHz, Macintosh Plus at 8Mhz). I found some evidence in InfoWorld that states that the LaserWriter would not be supported on Lisa Office System 7/7. https://books.google.com.au/books?id=6i4EMBAJ&lpg=PA13&ots=iH8F7zeaO_&dq=apple%20lisa%20with%20laserwriter&pg=PA13#v=onepage&q=apple%20lisa%20with%20laserwriter&f=false short version: https://goo.gl/O1jokf Anyone know different? would Lisa 7/7 been unable to support the LaserWriter due to other software limitations?

Re: Just got a big C= Haul
Ugh! Thanks for the heads-up! Thankfully, I've had (almost) nothing but excellent experiences dealing with essentially anon. individuals over the net - buying, selling & trading this-n-that. From guns to electronics to books to motors & parts. In light of this latest revelation, let us each take a moment to appreciate the *SCORES OF DECENT AND HONEST TRADERS* who make this amusing and interesting little world go 'round. We will always need to keep our guard up, but the fact is, the vast majority of online traders of geek-gear are straight-up honorable guys who would no sooner rip you off as their own granny.

Non-IBM switchable keyboards should still be very much around; I've even got a couple. There's also the AT/PS2 to XT keyboard conversion project on Vintage-Computer.comIt uses an 8 pin PIC microcontroller and is easy to fit about anywhere. Great for functionality; maybe not so much if you're looking for an old-style keyboard with the function keys on the left side. --Chuck - "The first thing we do, let's kill all the spammers."
