Some days I can't even think straight... What I meant to convey is that
people should take responsibility for their data. If they care, they
should do something about it (even if it means calling the neighborhood
guru.)
However, not doing that doesn't give anyone the right to turn around and
use that information... If I don't pull my shades, you don't have the
right to make a porno (horror?) movie of it. But, if I care about anyone
seeing my fat carcass, I should pull down my shades.
I do agree with the idea that we, as collectors, should hold ourselves to a
higher standard. If we want folks to continue to pass machines our way, we
need to make sure they feel comfortable about doing it. (Just as I
wouldn't look up what drugs someone is getting from Long's, or what medical
problems someone had when I was working with Aetna Health Plans; I want
them to feel comfortable hiring me again in the future.)

shoot, i'd love to have another tandy 102! my ac adaptor for my 102 says 6v dc
at 400 ma
according to the little drawing on the adaptor, the inner part of the plug is
negative. outer part is positive. not sure what they're worth, but i bought
mine with the accompanying battery operated cassette recorder and owner's
manual for $25. would love to find the external floppy for it.

So happens my XT is a Leading Edge model D. It's a good solid and slow
system but it works so well and is small.
I got mine from the first owner who bought it new when it first came out.
Prints for it would be nice.
Hacks (plugins) applied to it over the years:
Used the basics disk controller that is on the mother board to run a
720k 3.5" and 360k floppies.
Installed a 1.44/2.88 floppy adaptor so I can run 1.44 floppies.
Installed 1002 HDC and st251
V20 (to run 8080 software)
My Inboard386pc was in that one for a while.
The machine is useful for many things as its so basic and clean clone.

PAIA used 650x processors not 680x (that I know of).

I might have a DHV11 manual around, I'll have to check. I do have a
board in an old uVAX II. Do you need anything in particular? Like the
CSR and interrupt switch settings? As I recall, the Q-bus DHV isn't
quite the same as a the Unibus DH11, but it does use DMA, much faster
than a DZQ11. The DHV11 uses floating CSRs, do you know how to set
them? (I assume you are going to use VMS)

If anyone has need for Leading Edge parts, software, etc you can obtain
what you need at http://www.primenet.com/~fwagner/le/leading_edge.html
since Leading Edge is out of business and no longer supporting anything.
Throw this in your bookmarks for later reference.

Did anyone ever get one of those? I guess they were mostly for music, but
I always wanted one. The ads in the magazines always intrigued me.
I wonder if they exist today.
