RE: Enrico's Query about Apple IIs...
I looked the first time I went to the sale and found mainly ][ pluses,
a couple ][es (one with extended keyboard, a couple ][cs, and a few
]I[s... But If I see a ][, I'll see about getting it...
RE: Marvin about PCjr help...
I think the customer has a PCjr or Two and is looking for expansion
stuff and programs for it... I dunno, best I could suggest to her was
an area thrift store which always seems to have PCjrs coming in... :/

That was the plan; however, the DX model was never released. There are
reports of a few of them floating around, but probably prototypes or
user-hacked versions.

I beleive there are plans floating around for a $5 interface cable. Also,
lots of 3rd party apps for the '85.<<
John:
Thanks for the tip; I'll check it out.
Last night, for those hardware-hackers out there, I started developing a
level shifter using a Maxxim MAX232 chip which draws power from the DSR line
and has a couple of low-power LED indicators. I'm just trying to fit it into a
DB9 shell...

To all of those that asked what the Model 100 DVI is...
Ths Disk-Video Interface is a rectangular box (mostly hollow), the size of
half of a PC which enables the Model 100 to use 5-1/4" floppy disks and to
hook-up to a standard composite monitor or a TV on channel 3 or 4. It could
display 40x24 or 80x24 characters.
Costing around $500, the unit typically (and I'd have to dig-out an old
catalog to check; it's been a while) came with 1 or 2 floppy disk drives and
had a built-in power supply. The companion monitor (an optional-extra) was a
composite green-screen. The included diskette was for a simple disk-based DOS
wedge for BASIC. Connection to the M100 was accomplished through a shielded,
flat, 40-pin ribbon cable with a custom pin arangement that attached to the
40-pin DIP socket on the bottom of the M100. The standard DIP socket on the
M100 was retrofitted with a ZIF socket to ease the stress on the cable.
The insulation-displacement connector on the M100 side pearced the cable in a
non-standard way, preventing meer mortals from making a cable on their own
with parts from Digi-Key--I tried! BTW, replacements are $24 from Tandy Parts.
As an aside, DOS disks are $5.
As far as I know, the DVI came out before the other floppy drives for the
M100, the PDD1 and PDD2.
I hope that this clears things up.

I've decided to go ahead with plans for the First Annual Vintage Computer
Festival!!!
This is a call to all parties interested in participating with the
planning and development of the show. I have directed this e-mail to
specific individuals in my local area (sorry if I missed anyone) as well
as to the entire classiccmp group. I welcome your support and would
appreciate if you who are local could pledge your help in developing and
participating in the show. I also welcome and would appreciate the
support of anyone not local to the San Francisco Bay Area who is
interested in donating your time to the show. Please contact me if you
are interested.
I hope to assemble the core development team within the next week and
to hold a kick-off party on Saturday, August 9th where a team will be
assembled, the project will be discussed and team members will be
assigned tasks.
I am hoping to run the show during a weekend in the middle of October.
Currently, as I have it layed out, there are a couple hundred man hours of
work to be done in order to pull this off. I think with enough people
committed, this can be pulled off in time to host the show by October.
Please e-mail me if interested. Thanks!
Sam

About a month or so back I reported to you about one of the California
central valley area's used computer stores doing a 'warehouse sale'
every Saturday... Well they have lost their lease on their warehouse
and are looking to clear it all out by the end of August.
Details:
The Computer Store running the sale is 'Allen's to Go' and are located
at 13461 Highway 88 in Lokeford, their store phone number is (209)
727-0477.
The sale is being held on Saturdays from 8:00am till Noon in a
greenhouse at a former nursery. You can find it about 5 miles east of
Lodi, Calif. on Highway 12; the address is 10400 Highway 12 (heading
>from Lodi it would be to your right).
Marie Templin, the owner who is usually there, said 'the more you buy
the better price your gonna get.' Last week was the annoucement and
business was slow that day so it hasn't been picked over much yet.
What's there:
- Alot of Commodore 64 and PET stuff retired from the Lodi Schools
- Many old IBM and clone cases, power supplies, motherboards, drives
(INCLUDING OLD HARD DRIVES, BRING YOUR LISTS GUYS!)
- A small amount of some Mac related Jasmine Drives (external HDs,
syquest, etc.)
-lots of monitors in various states of repair and dis-repair
-Old laser printers, old copiers, old phonographs, a couple microfiche
readers, a couple projectors
-dot-matrix printers, cables, etc.
The three or so Osbornes are still there as well as all the Apple II+'s
IIe's, IIc's, III's, drives, etc.
You have until the end of August... Don't delay!
