While on a recent excursion to Stockton (a realtively close big city
for us) we stopped by one of those 99 cent clearnace centers and I was
surprised to find boxes of disks available. I picked up 90 DS/DD
diskettes for just $8.91, 9.9 cents for a 'new' brand name disk is
pretty good.
They also had 5.25" DS/HD (don't have any need for those...) and also
a few boxes of 8" disks, (W/WP, is that the format? It was the only
thing that looked like a format/sectoring I.D. to me...) Other than
that I picked up a VIC-20 RF modulator for 75 cents... Wasn't really
thrift-storing that day... :)
I did pick up a Maganavox composite/RGB monitor for only $4.50 a
couple weeks back though. Question on this, it has TTL RGB and Lin. RGB
ports, is the Lin. RGB Analog RGB? (Magnavox did produce a few
Commodore/Amiga monitors, I am hoping this one may be Amiga
compatible...)

I am looking for 20M removable bernoulli drives. I use them in my music
console rack. Since two weeks I have problem with it and I can't read
old data. I make few radical steps included filter exchange but without
succes. This units are dedicated to my system and I can replace it only
for the same 20M drives. Maybe somebody, somewhere has useless items in
a basement store...
Thanks for colaboration.

anyone sees any let me know what the going prices are...
(It probably just went up in value.....)

Hi All:
The title says it all. I have a sick M2382 SMD drive, and am looking for
someone who is running one successfully, so that we can compare switch
settings, QD32 or QD33 parameters, or documentation.
The drive's on a known-good QD32 on a Microvax II. It's in tandem with an
M2372, on the same QD32. The M2372 drive is working well.
Thanks,
Kevin

Yeah, so, he mailed a personal note, off line off the list, like he's
supposed to, so that there isn't a bunch of drivvel on the list. That's
the whole point to this seemingly pointless discussion.

Well, after closer investigation, I found the DOS info that I needed.
Sorry for the post. I'd still like the manuals, though.

Sorry to but in, but some of us ARE CHILDREN. ;-) And, honestly, I hate to
point out, but you're acting less mature than we do. Honestly, the guy made
a mistake. Why blame him? If there's anyone who can seriously tell me
their perfect, then disregard this, but we all make 'em.

Hi.
I'm getting a II+ from Jeff Kaneko, but, as usual from thrift stores, no OS/Software. Is the II+ like the II GS, downloadalbe from the 'Net? Also, is there any software out there? If I can download it from the net, where, and how do I copy it (using either 1.44MB 3.5" or a 360K 5.25" drive, PC, SERIAL connection???)
Thanks,
Tim D. Hotze
Yes, I know I started that mess :) Sorry.
I just picked up a MicroVAX 2000. Little bitty box. It's portable, it even
has a handle. Runx VAX/VMS 5.4. I'll drop NetBSD on here and have it up
in no time at all. Or, I may keep VMS...
