Gary, t
Yes they unique and I couldn’t find any when I looked a few years ago. They
appear on eBay from time to time at ridiculous prices (~$100 range). I heard of
people bypassing the connectors on the drives themselves and connecting to the
edge connector inside but I haven’t done this myself.

I have an Visual 1050 computer (CPM based) with screen and keyboard.
Probably works but I have not tried it yet. Will likely uncover boot disks,
and other software.
Anyone interested to pay shipping from Bellingham, WA?

All,
in one of those spectacular coincidences, my excavations today turned
up a blue brad binder with 1 page of handwritten notes and photocopies of pages
20-1 through 20-8 of the Sperry UTS 40-81 Operator’s guide (in addition to the

Hi everyone,
Is the 2x20 pin bulkhead connector on the back of RL02 drives
proprietary? Is there a source of them? It seems impossible to find the
cables and terminators for these drives, so I was planning to make
them.
I would rather not have a ribbon cable hanging out the back.
Thanks,
Aaron.

How is VCF going?
I was going to take a dozen boxes of books, a couple of computers, and
some miscellaneous.
My health got in the way.
I'm getting prostate surgery (ANOTHER TURP) on Thursday,
I just don't feel up to packing loading, or even driving an hour each
way.

Wow! I fondly remember the air exhaust from the power supply cabinet of the
Convex C240 as being the warmest spot in the UCI computer room at 6AM, when the
main Computer Science building A/C turned on and the computer room temperature
plummeted. Maybe I should finally learn how to use one for it
