I recognize the box. A long time ago I purchased the KEV11 floating
point chip for the 11/2 processor and it came in a box exactly like that
one.

Which was the Amigo?
FWIW every 5.25" and 3.5" HP drive unit that I've seen (and the
internal drives on the 9826 and 9836) use a Western Digital or
compatible disk controller chip. The low-level format (sync

I took a look at the Tektronix 4051 that we got a few years back. After
checking the PSU I turned it on and it seemed to start up fine. The machine

I have been looking for TC11 maindec listings in the usual places, but
didn't find any. I think they should be named ZTCA, ZTCB, ZTCC, ZTCD and
ZTCE.
Does anyone know of an online location or happen to have an offline paper
original?

Hi all --
I have a VAX 8250 I'm bringing up and I'd like to track down an Ethernet
adapter, this would be the T1034 (DEBNT). There are a few on eBay, but
none include the cabling and bulkhead, which would be nice to have.
I'm also looking for a T1010 (BI to Unibus adapter), as the one in my

The Amigo used the 7902A floppy drive, which supports the same formats
as the 9895A. This includes HP M2FM, single or double-sided, and IBM
3740 FM single-sided single-density.

I'll look in my stash - for sure no VAXBI SCSI boards :-) I may have some
spare DSSI boards, though, as well as a T1010. It's just a matter of
finding them

Gentlemen,
I was rooting through the morgue this morning looking for a cable to

This machine was retired because some of the memory failed and, although
it is too large and heavy to ship, there are a lot of parts and
