Twas ever thus, no?

I remember an ad campaign for AIX when it was quite new... "We took
UNIX and added millions of lines of code to it." (Or words to that
effect.) To me and to a lot of other people, this did not sound like a
good thing...

VCF Midwest 16 Date Announcement

2021-04-12 Thread Jason T via cctalk
Hello  computer friends - all of us down in VCF Midwest Planning
Bunker have decided: VCFMW16 planning must commence!  To not do so
would surely set up for failure, if and when conditions continue their
current upward trend and we get the OK to gather again in unlimited
numbers.

So...we're going to have a show!

Our schedule this year will be the same weekend as in 2019, with the
dates this year falling on the 11th and 12th of September.  Same
location as well, at Waterford Banquets (and Clarion Inn), Elmhurst,
Illinois.

See our full announcement here:  http://vcfmw.org/announce.  And fill
out the linked survey if you'd like.

Still much to do - room block reservation, improved table layout
planning, speaker recruitmentand that dang T-shirt.  We hope
everyone who is able to travel in September will consider paying us a
visit.

More news to come - check our newly re-themed website for updates as
they occur!  http://vcfmw.org

Looking for video (or photos) depicting how to remove ASR 33 printer from keyboard

2021-04-12 Thread Bill Degnan via cctalk
I am looking for a video or photos that show how one removes the printer
from the keyboard safely on an ASR 33.  I need to get to the underside of
the printer levers so I can re-align them.  I am getting incorrect
characters when I type over half of the keys.  I can see that a few levers
are out of whack or not seated correctly but I believe to get to them
properly I need to put the printer on its side or under a lift to get to
the underside.  I am nervous about detaching the "H" shaped gizmo that
connects the keyboard to the printer.
Thanks
Bill

This video, Part 2 of a series by Jerry Walker seems to cover removing the 
keyboard
from the printer pretty thoroughly, including how to take out the H piece:

Also I think Marc's videos cover it too.
