-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Fwd: Estate sale find magnetic tape Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2021 09:50:30 -0500 From: Duane Craps <duaneb.craps(a)cox.net> To: vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org Brian, Are the tapes metal or plastic? Are The reels metal or plastic? Do the reels have IBM hubs or notches around the inside of the hubs. Are they program tapes, and if so from what system? If they have data were they written on 7 or 9 track drives? Bill Dromgoole and I have been working on the Univac 1540 Magnetic Tape Unit at VCF. Could be an adventure sometime down the road. You might be able to post the pictures on the VCF Face Book page. Or post at my MeWe group: https://mewe.com/join/univacandnavycomputers Duane On 2/27/2021 9:08 AM, W.

Need green bar printout ASAP!
by Jeffrey Brace 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Hello everyone, I have a need for someone to printout 10 pages of Apollo code onto green bar paper, and 5 sets of these. It is for a small independent filmmaker. VCF won't make money off it, but hoping for a credit in the film. They need it in LA by Wednesday, so time is critical. If you have a lead, then please send it to me privately. Thanks!

If there are any left after real museums get what they want I would be interested. Are these the early metal tape uniservo or later conventional?

That is super generous- and we passed the $1000 mark this morning... Currently at $1276 for those keeping track! Let's show InfoAge how much VCF appreciates their support all these years hosting our museum, repair workshops and our artifacts. -andy > On Feb 24, 2021, at 7:44 PM, madodel via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: > > > From: madodel <madodel(a)mac.com> > Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Keep the lights on at InfoAge (GoFundMe fundraiser) > Date: February 24, 2021 at 7:44:02 PM EST > To: vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org, Jeffrey Brace <jeffrey(a)vcfed.org> > > > On 2/24/21 19:21, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic wrote: >> Vintage Computer Federation has initiated a fundraiser for InfoAge >> operating expenses.
