Slightly odd one - so I have an Sun Ultra 45 for sale which is complete except for a CPU and heatsink. This was removed to repair another system. The system works fine with a CPU fitted, NVRAM is good, memory and disk are good. The case is OK, there is a mark on the top and a small dint on the...

I recently picked up a fully functional ASR-33 teletype. It has recently been reconditioned and works really nicely. However the plastic 'shroud' that covers the electronics etc is badly cracked and suffering from the 'brittle plastic' effect. I'm keen to replace this with something that is a...

Its that time of year, and my latest project is to try and restore a pdp 8/e to its former glory. Hardware is all clean, but the first job in hand is to get he PSU working. This was powered up 4-5 years ago without issue, but I want to be careful. I've removed all cards from system, so looking...

I'm new to the world of paper tape after recently acquiring a rather wonderful type 33 teletype. This is in working condition and I have all the consumables except seemingly a spindle for the paper tape roll. Any idea what I can use for this?

Bit of a stange/obscure one. I'm looking for a spindle for the paper tape spool for use with a type 33 teletype. I've managed to source some paper tape, but the spindle is proving tricky.

I have a nice working IBM AT 5170 with 512K. I'd like to expand the memory a bit as I'm continually hitting the memory limits. If anyone has anything that would work in a 5170 I'm interested :-) Thanks!

Looking for an original Sun PS2->keyboard adapter. These are a small box with a lead (to plug into the Sun keyboard socket) and a couple of PS2 style sockets. This is needed for a Sun 3 as the later Belkin and similar adapters just dont work properly with the older models. I have one of the...

I'll kick things off with my Microtan 65. Its clocked slightly slower than most 6502 based machines at 750KHz. This was a trick to avoid noise on the graphics output.

Looking for (any) VGA card that would work with an AlphaStation 200/233. Thanks.

Looking for a Sun XVR-4000 graphics 'card'. This huge module only fits in a V880 and although the graphics module is something of a mixed bag, it would be fun to try it. Let me know if you have one for sale. Happy to pay a reasonable price plus shipping, etc.

What languages were available for the PDP 8 that ran in 4k. I know about the FORTRAN subset compiler, but was there ever a TINY BASIC ?

Came across a sbus Parallex Framebuffer in my box sun sbus cards. This seems to be a Parallex XVIDEO framebuffer and has a 13w3 and 5w1connector. Its a dual width sbus card. Does anyone know if Solaris includes drivers for this card of if it needs custom drivers?

Came across this recently the 'Wireless World Computer' published in the magazine in 1967. I was amazed how early this was. There are schematics but not too much info on actually building the machine, in the magazine article. All transistor design of course and aimed at teaching. More info...

Looking for any PDP 8 compatible disk or tape drives. Anything considered even broken/damaged, etc. I can collect in the UK and most of Europe.

Anything really, tape, disk or whatever. I can collect in the UK or Germany/Netherlands/France at a push. Thanks

Hi, I realise this is a long shot, but it would be great to get some kind of real storage option for a PDP 8/a. Anything considered. I'm based in the UK, but can collect from UK or near Europe - e.g. Germany/France/Netherlands/etc. Working on an interesting new interpreter for the PDP 8 based...

Hi Looking for some upgrades for an IBM XT. An 8087 (DIL) FPU chip, and a real time clock would be top of the list. I'm also looking for memory cards, and accelerators if anyone has anything. Thanks.

Hi I'm trying to setup a hard-drive in a IBM XT. Its a type 13 'WD25' drive which I believe is around 20M formatted. I've replaced the original non working controller which was a 62X0786 with one which looks identical but has the number 6135984 instead. I've noticed that the new board doesn't...

Looking to replace the non functional 360K floppy drive in my IBM XT 5160. If you have a spare drive or a spare drive and 8 bit driver card get in touch. Thanks!

I'm a newbie to the XT so sorry if this is an easy question. I checked the FAQ but couldnt seen anything on keyboards. I've got a working XT (hard disk doesnt work but the floppy is OK) which will boot, memory tests out OK and will show BASIC when F1 is pressed. I'm using an IBM 101 key...
