Hey folks,
There is some interesting (and heavy) IBM unit record equipment up
for auction on ebay. View
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=27353
14909
and click on "View Seller's Other Auctions" for the whole list:
IBM 077 collator
IBM 083 sorters (two)
IBM 088 collator plugboards and manual only
IBM 548 alphabetic interpreter
IBM 129 keypunch
Documation RM600LCC card reader
The minimum bids are reasonable for all but the Documation reader.
It's interesting and relatively rare stuff -- shouldn't be let to go
to scrap.
Also, I got my Documation reader working tonight -- it was misreading
because of worn feed rollers. I learned a lot about the these
machines trying to diagnose and fix that. The USB interface is
finished and working now (if anyone wants the schematic and code,
write to me), and I was able to read in the system load deck for
APL\1130. So -- sometime in the next few weeks the IBM 1130 emulator
will have APL and a bunch of other old code I have here on cards.
Brian
