Recently, I’ve started working on a Canon BX-1 machine dated 1977.
It was CANON's first standalone business / home computer featuring I guess the
Motorola MC6809 CPU, one line of gas plasma display a thermal printer and 125k
floppy drive.

Hello, all -
Has anyone run across the subject system - a mid-90s Motorola '030-based
document scanner/retrieval system? KV-F520 seems to be a model of the
unit, along with LF-7300A or LF-7304 5-1/4" MO drives. I have a hold of
some media that I can read, and can see the moral equivalent of
It's gone meta: people threadjacking a thread about threadjacking. Now
it's some posters trying to show others who is smartest about arcane
details of obsolete email software.
A tangential question out of curiosity: who here has 5.25" MFM
drives they're extremely surprised are still working, and which
model(s)?

Well, I bought that DEC Pro 350 on ebay. It initially booted up and I got
the error screen. The error code I found on the Internet was related to
the hard disk controller. So, I thought I just needed someone to sell/give
me some systems disks for the unit and I could try to setup the drive again

So, all this talk about panels made me making an oak frame for an
IBM panel I had lingering around in the attic for a while.
Still need to make a back panel to close it tough.

I was very lucky with who ever scrapped that 360/50 and took the hinge and

One then can anchor the frame to the studs or something and not have to

My personal measure has nothing to do with the 20 year rule - I use the
introduction of the PC as the end of the Vintage era. IBM made the
computing industry standard and boring.

I thought vintage had to do with wine--and not necessarily old.
e.g. 2006 cabernet sauvignon.
"Vintage computing" occurs when you figure out how many bottles you've
drunk.

It could be argued that the industry was already going before that.

When the industry lost its sense of humor,
it was the beginning of the end.
THAT was the beginning of the end of "vintage".

Hi all --
I'm working on fixing up a Tektronix 4404 workstation (runs
Smalltalk-80!). Or rather, I'm trying to collect the needed parts to
assemble a complete system so that I might fix up said system -- at the
moment I have only the main CPU unit (but hey, it's a good starting
point). I am

When Erector sets switched from their mains powered motor with gears to a
plastic batter powerd, I wondered about the future of engineering in the
USA.
Anyone have such a piece or know someone that might.
Board number is 30457-60001
Might take the whole thing if the price is right.

"mother board" is not how I would describe that part number. That is the CPU

When the list was formed, it was defined as 20 years. Of course now, the list
itself is over 20 years old.
Sigh ... well if we're really have this conversation I maintain that
the present definition of "vintage", or at least how we see it over at
Vintage Computer Federation, is no longer
Thanks for the suggestions. Interestingly, upon first boot I was able to

I removed all the cards and booted with no luck.
