Guys,
A bit late I fear.
I collect computer artefacts from the 50s to the 80s. Are there any DEC PDFP
11/ front panels (non-functional) available cheap? I might be tempted...
Many thanks,
peter

Guys,
Has anyone out there in the big wide world there got a version of the Stage
2 Macroprocessor than is ready to run on a Windows PC? I don't mean the
build-it-yourself version.
Refer to

Many thanks,

I have a collection of British magazine CDs and DVDs from the mid-1995ish to
2013ish. They contain tools, programs, etc. I tried 5 and they mounted under
Win10 so they should work on old win releases: XP,7,8?
Would anyone be interested in acquiring these? Talk to me and we can work
out how.
peter
Thanks

I seem to have lost contact with Rick Bensene of that museum for the last 10

Guys,
I now know it is an early CDC board. IT had C*NT*OLDATA on the reverse - how
I missed that must be attributed to old age. (Thanks Doug)
Here are shots of the back: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UPozyBB3zp7XYcP79
Any idea what the row of hole opposite the contacts were? Testing points?
But then
OK, now here are some pics that should be available to everybody. I hope.

Sorry guys about the unusable tera-URLs.
To reiterate, I have acquired this board and have trouble assigning it to a

Guys,
I got a positive response about the Port-A-Punch cards so no longer any need
to respond to this one. Very encouraging.
Still looking for Jacquard cards and original Hollerith cards. Hope springs
eternal.

Following on from my previous post re punched cards, thank you for replying.
I am following up where I can.
Now, however, I realize that the IBM Port-A-Punch requires a special type of
cards. Does anyone have 1 to 3 of these they can spare. (I already have the
instrument.)
Many thanks,

I have been collecting all types of computer punched cards for a few years

I have a great interest in collecting vintage media. I am also desperate to

Hello again everyone!
This is my regular visit to CCTECH trying to find an example (or two) of
this weird and wonderful piece of IBM mass storage for my ancient computer
collection.

I am wanting to determine which CDC (or possibly other) computer some of my
modules came from. If you were a CDC employee around the time of CDC 6xxx
computers, let me know where I could send my photos for identification of
these items.

Guys,
Do any of you know where I could get hold of DG document(s) describing the
microcode of their Eclipse family. It was wide yellow manual with brown
plastic ring binding. It brings back happy but foggy memories.

Can you tell me which CDC computer type these three boards belonged to? It
is for labeling purposes in my personal museum.

Do any of you more venerable IBM types know of a way to open one of these to
extract the tape contained inside? It looks a bit fiddly but there might be
a trick to it. (Apart from having the mass storage system itself.)
