I wrote Perl code for a web chat once, which ran quite well - but as it
uses forms rather than Java it is not entirly real time. Anyway, if you
want that we can probably work something out.
Ada,
If you still have the lisa manuals and stuff I will pay the shipping and cod
cost to get them. Let me and thanks John Keys

Take a look through the vent holes on top. The BA23 has a metal flange
about halfway down which prevents it from coming too far out the front. You
can get it out far enough to take off the cover plate over the drive bay,
but that's about it.

Two screws lets the door loose. Cards slide straight out(pull) the quad wide
cards (cpu and mem) have levers at the end, some observation should make
their operation clear. FYI cables need to be moved/removed to get at things
in a ba23. Not order and position. This is a buss based system and buss
continuity is partly based on position and adajacentcy.
Depending on age amd options installed the mix of card could vary.
Minimally there will be one cpu (top), at least one memory(4/8meg),
A DHV11 8line serial, TQK50 tape(optional), DEQNA(NI), RQDX2/3 floppy hard
disk controller. If there is a video console there could be one or two more
cards.

Hi!
Anyone know anything about the Surwave Amigo? I have a non-working
version, and am inclined to fix it, but I don't know what the system is. It
has a Z80a cpu,and I was told by someone (who could well be wrong) that it
runs Apple II software, but that is as much as I have found out so far.
Thanks heaps,
Adam.
I also have a uVAX II, and i partially dissembled mine and hosed down the
outer plastic shell since there was lots of nasty dust in there. i finally
figured out how to open the access door in the back, and saw some cards in
there, but exactly how do they come out? i didnt want to just start pulling
in case they are locked in somehow.

For all of those Commodore followers...
Something interesting happened today. One of my co-workers asked me to work
with her on something relating to a company called Ensoniq, a manufacturer of
sound cards and hign-end MIDI equipment. She was reading to me over the phone
about the founders and how they came from Commodore International. Hmmmm.
She then read the names: Al Charpentier and Robert Yannes. I didn't
immediately recognize Al's name, but I knew Yannes. He created the prototypes
for the VIC-20 and C64. Reading on, she confirmed my guess. Al ran the LSI
section of the Advanced Systems Design Group within Commodore. From the info
that we have, it seems that Al did mostly chip design, including the VIC-I and
VIC-II, and Bob did mostly systems design.
Well, in about a week or two, I'll be meeting these guys. Does anyone have
any special questions that are not too off-the-wall and that I can slip into
conversation?

Thank you, David. At the moment, I have one system and one key, so a
spare is not totally essential. When I am reduced to sending all the
way to the US for a replacement, I'll let you know...

You can also dismantle the lock from the front panel (remove the frontpanel

retaining clip) and pull out the wafers with pliers. Reassemble it without the
wafers, and you can operate it with a screwdriver.
That's what I had to do to my 11/10 and GT40, alas.
Alternatively, if you can find a blank that fits, it would be possible to cut
the notches in the appropriate places until the wafers line up with the
cylinder edge, and make a key that way.
