Yes, I definitely do! I have a friend in Romania who comes over here to work in the museum a few times per year; he would be able to transport it. (my British friend who lives in Romania transporting a board from Germany to the States :-))

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about this thread. It's definitely a Qume, and the following ribbons fit: Qume Sprint 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Apple LQP AT&T 455 Burroughs AP1305 Lexitron VT 913, 921, 942, 1201S Exxon 500, 5000, 935 Wordplex 80-2, 80-3, 80-4 Honeywell 24, 25, PRU7200, 7201, 7202...

Will do, thank you for the advice, and for the positive identification. We should have ribbons by Friday! -Dave

I'm finding further evidence that it's a Qume, from the Sprint family. Correcting 40-year-old bad information in my brain is going to take a while. ;) -Dave

Qume, interesting. I will dig around some more. Did you see a model number? -Dave

That's the LQP01. -Dave

Hi folks. I have in my head from way back in the 1980s, when I worked for a company that sold and serviced them, that the DEC LQP02 daisy-wheel printer is a repackaged Juki 6100. I'd not seen one in many years, but we got one in at LSSM recently, and we're getting it running. We purchased a...

We have a pair of 5324s at LSSM that we'll be looking into restoring soon. We have system units and monitors, but I don't know if we have the keyboards. Would you happen to know of any that might be available? -Dave McGuire, LSSM

Hi folks. Does anyone have schematics for the P2 Adapter Module for the MVME712M? Or better yet, have a couple of these boards going spare? I've been looking for one for a while without success, and am considering just designing a replacement. Thanks...

Ah, I will check it out. Thanks! -Dave

Same here; an MVME117-4 fell into my lap recently. High-resolution versions of the images mentioned above would be great. -Dave

I've not had a chance to do anything with mine yet, but now that I know you're working on yours, I'll try to make the time soon. I will read in the EPROMs in mine and see if they're anything other than ODT. Yes, 'I' is Inhibit, it blocks any activity on the Dataway. My guess is that the adapter...

Mine came with a KXT11 with ROMs on it. I need some time to dig into it and see how it's configured, then I'll get that info to you. I can read the KXT11's ROMs if necessary. -Dave

Hi daver2, interesting! I wonder what crate controller it used that had an HDLC interface. A few companies ended up making Ethernet and USB-connected crate controllers. I spent a little time yesterday putting together a model number index, just a couple hundred modules so far indexed by...

Sounds great. I'll start by coming up with a master list of modules that I know exist. We can use that as a "module number index", then a page (or so) for each module, like we did in the HPWiki. (https://hpwiki.mcguirescientificservices.com/) Let me know what you think. Heading out the door...

Hmm, I don't recall having put any of my files up anywhere, but I may have. I think we should try to get everything on the wiki. It's here: https://nimwiki.mcguirescientificservices.com/. You can see it's pretty barren at the moment, but it's a start. The intention is to cover NIM, CAMAC...

Hey, another CAMAC hacker! I'd not heard of PL-11, that sure sounds interesting. Have you tried contacting CERN about it? They may still have it in their archives. One can hope. I control my CAMAC crates in a few different ways. I wrote a library in C, along with a set of programs under...

Please forgive this reply to this very old thread, I hope Braids is still listening. I've just gotten ahold of an IS-11 and some related hardware. I have a great interest in CAMAC and have several running systems (not IS-11 based, at least not yet!), and have designed hardware for it. Are you...

Yup. Over the years I've gleefully paid a lot more than that for RL rails. They're all but useless without them, nothing else will do, and there are far fewer rails out there than there are drives. This pretty much guarantees high prices. -Dave

Eeeeeew. :-(
