Hi Everyone, Allison was the first respondant, so, gets first option. If then, not claimed, then I will re-contact those of you who also have expressed interest. Thanks! Will Please take note of the following, when attempting to reply to this message.... -- Sorry to have to resort to this, but, due to the myriad of automatic e-mail advertising ("SPAMming") programs out there, I've been forced to modify my "reply to" address. To reply to this message, you must remove the .spamfree from the reply-to address. To those friends, and folks who are trying to contact me with info that I will likely be happy to receive, I apologze for this inconvienence.

Classic computer toy? Mattel Intellivision, anyone want?

by adam＠merlin.net.au

Just out of curiosity, does this one have the computer keyboard and stuff? I found one the other day with the keyboard (and I am trying to get it), but I have no idea how common they were. Adam.

Classic computer toy? Mattel Intellivision, anyone want?

by wpe＠interserv.com

Hello, Not sure this is the proper place for this, and I apologize if it isn't, but I have a Mattel Intellivision setup (left for us by a long ago former tenant of a property we used to own) with a bunch of cartridges. I have no clue as to whether the thing works, as it's been in a box in my basement for a good five years (and, who knows how long in the basement of the previous owner), but, if someone wants to "give it a home", please let me know. Located in Sudbury, Mass. USA. Will

HP 2100A available from Ann Arbor MI

by hans1＠filan00.grenoble.hp.com

At risk of repeating someone elses post (I receive the digest form of the list): Recently seen on the net: > An HP 2100A minicomputer will become available soon, in Ann Arbor, MI. > This is a machine I once worked on, but I can't take it (no space) so > if anyone wants an old workhorse of a machine with some significant > position in history, please take it. > The thing is a typical late 1960's or early 1970's rack mounted > minicomputer; I'm sure it can be safely de-racked. It can probably > be shipped UPS, but it would be at the upper end of the UPS size and > weight range, so it may have to go motor freight. > There may be a DEC RX01 and an RK05 drive attached to it (I'm not > sure which of the HP machines at Michigan had what peripherals, but > the disk drives they used were from DEC). These can be deracked and > shipped separately, but they're commodity parts, in a relative sense, > while the HP2100 is not a commonplace machine. > Doug Jones > jones(a)cs.uiowa.edu I would love this machine but shipping to Europe is out of the question :-( Don't let this one die a horrible death.

Help with EPROM programmer

by rcini＠classic.msn.com

Hello, all: I got my hands on a PC-based EPROM programmer S/DRAM tester IC tester. There is an ISA add-in card and an external box with ZIF sockets. The only thing that I am missing (doh!) is the software diskette. The board is manufactured by Yih-Lung (Hong Kong), model# YL-23. It has two microcontrollers, both are Motorola 6821. I know that this is a loooong shot, but can anyone point me in any direction to find a replacement disk. Thanks! +============================================+ | Rich Cini/WUGNET | <rcini(a)msn.com> | MCP Windows 95 and Windows Networking, | Charter ClubWin!

MicroVAX

by rcini＠classic.msn.com

Tim: >>According to the "Edited Option/Module List" that I have, there are >>no fewer than 21 variations of the M7551, ranging from 1 to 4 >>MBytes of memory. Generally, the -A suffix indicates 1 Mbytes, >>the -B indicates 2 Mbytes, and the -C indicates 4 Mbytes. The >>next letter in the suffix indicates the source of the DRAM chips. At least I'm not crazy (in spite of what people may say!) about the RAM size. My M7551 carries the "CF" suffix. Is there a way that I could get a copy of your module list?? The one that I have from the VAX forum on CompuServe seems to leave out key information. It would be helpful to me for when I go shopping at Temple U. in October. Here's the revised configuration (I actually coppied the numbers down this time). Slot TOP BOTTOM function 8 open open 7 M7512 open buss extender 6 M8639-YA {same} RQDX1 disk controller 5 M9047 M7504 continuity / Ethernet 4 M3104 {same} serial EIA mux-8 3 M7551-CF {same} memory 2 M7135 {same} processor 1 1 M7136 {same} processor 2 Slot 1 is the first slot on the right facing the bulkhead. The buss extender is used to connect to an external RD52 hard drive. Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------- Rich Cini/WUGNET <rcini(a)msn.com> - ClubWin Charter Member (6) - MCP Windows 95/Netowrking
