Actually, I included a copy of the software with Sam's SoftStrip reader :)

Naw... you are only complete when you find a copy of the software to
generate the Causin bar codes (yes, they did actually sell it!) and start
archiving your software on reams of paper!
...and when you find it, I want a copy too!

Maybe I have just a twisted idea of development, but

already on the line before Mr. Jobs turned his horse
(And everything he had in his saddle bags has already

MacOS X will be just a new MacOS release - at least
folowing the last informations).

Did I miss something ?
Isn't the list running well without ?
Never touch a running system.

Hard to belive for me. Ok, I can only take myself
as example, and a Feedback couldn't change the bid
in any way. If I want an item I will bid as far as
I belive it is worth. An all negative feedback could
maybe avoide bidding at, but this hasn't happen 'till
now. The way Auctions are described shows way more
about the personality then any feedback - especialy
when taking in account that americans tend to praise
anything that just works out ordinary in bight colours.
I also stumbled within the last year across more
than one seller with a positive feedback, witch
turned out to be a real troll later on.

So what's your policy on list management? Light or invisible hand, or
whips and paddles and excommunication for misbehavior? :-)

Hans,
Not so much running as freewheeling. The other day I thought mail problems
here might have cut me off, so I sent a QUERY CLASSICCMP request to the
list server. It said,
List CLASSICCMP is locked by owner bskiver(a)u.washington.edu. No
list-specific requests can be processed
at this time. For further information please contact bcw(a)u.washington.edu
bskiver(a)u.washington.edu .
So I can't even ask about it, much less do anything. Others have been
having similar problems.
Philip.
Man I have so much to catch up on after being sick. Well, I picked
up an Apple //e, nothing special about that except it had LOTS of
boards installed. Most //e I find have the 64K/80 col card and the
disk controller and that's it.
One of these cards has me stumped. It looks like it may be a
modem but I have no idea where the phone connection might be.
Well, I have a small idea. It is a two board set up with a good
sized daughter board connected to the main card. The daughter
board is label with Microcom. That and the speaker and the note
about FCC Ringer Equivalence lead me to think modem. There are
16 dip switchs along the top of the main card. I'll take a picture
and place it on my site tomorrow. If anyone could ID it and maybe
help with doc or software I'd appriciate it.
This same system also had an AE Z-80 Plus card. Anyone have
the version of CP/M for that? Or doc?
And finally, there was a PCPI APPLI-CARD. This appears to be
another CP/M card. It contains a Z-80B and it's own bank of
memory. Anyone have info it and the CP/M for it too? Never heard
of two Z-80 cards in one system.
Thanks.

Yes, there are still some around. A fellow is advertising an Apple II in
the Windsor paper this morning, asking price--$ 600.00!

Phil,
The stock SE was a 68000 with 800K floppy, 1MB RAM and a 20MB hard drive. I
believe they were expandable on the mother board to 4MB by replacing the 4
256K SIMMs with 4 1Meg SIMMs (30 pin).
There was also a SE30 which had a 1.44Meg floppy and a 68030 CPU.
Regards,
Bob
