Isn't an XGA plug the same as a VGA plug? At least it is on the IBM XGA
monitor that I have.

Hello, all:
Tonight, I posted the following:
- Altair ComputerNotes: 7/77 and 9/77, all four parts
Also, my ISP was able to setup authentication for a "private" file area.
This area will be one which houses documents intended for the CCL group
only, i.e., files for whatever reason, are not to be shared with the whole
Internet.
My idea is to keep docs whose copyright is still active but for which we
were not able to obtain explicit permission to use. I began posting the P-E
Altair article tonight (first of 12 parts). Technical reference guides from
IBM will also go in there. This information is too valuable to CCL members
to languish unpublished.
Anyway, those interested in the login, please e-mail me privately.

There is the difference I had to learn to travel light enough that I did not
check any bags. My record was strating in the Midwest on monday morning and
by Teusday evening I had been on both US coasts.

I try to and had used that meter with no problems on another call the day
before.

Only exception I know of is CD-ROM, which doesn't exactly have tracks,
but at least block 0 is on the inside and the higher-number blocks
are on the outside.

777440 through 777456.

yeahright. In _IBM's Early Computers_ by Bashe et al., you will find
elaborate description of machinery developed to automate the production of
core planes, complete [IIRC] with pictures.

I was one of the Industrial Engineers responsible for the production of
core planes at the IBM Poughkeepsie plant.
The cores were put into a machine that shook them down into a panel that
lined them up for the row and column to be inserted by machine. The sense
wires were however inserted manually. It was an almost impossible job if
you looked at what had to be done but some people (almost all women) had an
uncanny knack of doing the job in what seemed to be impossible times and
accuracy. Using MTM (methods time measurement) it should have taken them
much longer than it actually did. They just had special skills.

I posted the following some time back:
<snip>
(1) HardCard EZ, and two Conner drives. The HardCard has a big "127"
printed on the side (capacity?). No idea if it is good - same with the two
"normal" disks (types 2 and 17, for you IDE fans out there).
<snip>
The person that was to purchase this has done nothing about it, even after
several "prods", so I am offering this up again. Best offer over $5 plus
shipping.

I once saw an external Mac hard drive with the label 'Apple Crate.'

I vaguely remember something called a "MacBottom" (a hard drive above
which one placed a Mac computer)

Hello, all:
I made another trip to Temple University today to get some more stuff. I
picked up the following:
- More Byte Magazines: 1983-1987
- Misc Unibus boards to repair my 11/34a, which for some reason will
no longer boot.
- RK05 disk packs
- Roytron Model 528 paper tape something
The Roytron thing is interesting. It's a paper tape punch (at least). I
have no info on this. It has what appears to be a v.35 connector on the
back. It says that it is a 120vac unit, but there is no power cord apparent.
Any info appreciated.
