unknown Teletype Printer
by Glenn Roberts 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

I’ve been asked for information about an old Teletype printer. Pictures in this google album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/N3BzBkQcN2nFmLXd7 not my area of expertise but I figure someone here might know. Any information? Model no? interface spec? is documentation available? How rare/valuable/collectible might something like this be? It’s located in Nebraska ☹ * Glenn

Computer, free to a good home
by William Dudley 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

I have a Gateway "pizza box" desktop computer that was given to me. I can't figure out the model number, but here are the specs: build date: 2002 cpu: Celeron 1.4GHz RAM: two SDRAM slots. They each have a 512MB stick, however, the BIOS will only recognize one or the other of them. Either one works in either slot, but both won't work together. (This is a show stopper for running Linux). disk: IDE. I've installed a *BAD* 6GB disk as a place holder, because the mounting method is non-obvious. The original disk was owned by a friend and I don't feel right giving it away, even if I wiped it. CDROM (works) Floppy (un-tested) On the motherboard: video, sound, Ethernet, USB, plus PS/2 keyboard and mouse sockets. In theory, the computer can boot from USB or the network. This system is too limited for me to actually use for something, but it would make a good MSDOS box. It had Windows XP on it, and ran "OK", if slowly. The computer is in Jackson, NJ, and I'm willing to drive about 30 minutes to meet up with you. Or I can drop it at the next VCF Workshop and you can pick it up there. I don't feel like trying to ship it. Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

You may seen this already. Looks like the LPW 300 is a winder. Didn't find what the 1433 is. https://archive.org/details/TNM_Teletype_paper_winder_LPW_300_-_Teletype_Co…
