Also have had a lot of fun seeing how close I can get to the end of the auction, like kicking in my maxim bid at exactly 5 seconds remaining.. Depending on the traffic load on eBay server at the time, I have scored a bid (Victory) with only 1 second remaining.. (Can you heard the crowds cheer). Sometimes I have also lost this way because the server on eBay was running slow and I got the very unpleasant notice that "The bidding is now closed on this item" << GRIN >>.. Seriously though if you see something you really want I suggest not to bid on it till the last 15 seconds, then place your maximum bid. Bidding early will only drive the price higher.. In a way all auctions on eBay are sealed bids simply because you do not know what someone else will bid in the last few seconds.. And in that respect its kinda fun.. So I say if you want to play the eBay game, better play the same way others do.. So have fun... Phil..

OT: Not-classic Hardware Freebie

by af-list＠wfi-inc.com

I've got the mainboard and cpu card from an AST Manhattan P5090 server (dual Pentium-90 sockets) that are marked "non-working" with no further details. IIRC, we pulled this from service a couple of years ago and it didn't want to post when we tried to test it sometime after that. If someone wants this, let me know. Otherwise it finds it's way to the round file...

DEC boards unearthed - I have some info

by mbg＠world.std.com

>Yes, it is. It was called the 11/05 in 72 but later docs called it the >11/10. The 11/05 and 11/10 are the same CPU... If I remember correctly, the difference in designation was based on whether it was OEMed or not. Same for the 11/15,20 and the 11/35,40 >Anyway, do you have an 11/05 running and do you have any PDP 8s you >collect? I have a working 11/05 (with two core stacks -- the original 16Kw MM11-?? memory which came with it, and a 16Kw MM11-DP I got for it at a later time). I also have several pdp-8s...

Frustration..and part of the RT11 System Manual is Online

by af-list＠wfi-inc.com

The perfect end to today... Somehow, I've lost my backup to the image files of an RT11 System Manual. Ugh. At any rate, I was able to put the first 4 chapters and TOC online today...I'll try to get the rest re-done as soon as is humanly possible. <sob...all those hours scanning...gone...> What's left is here: http://www.prinsol.com/~aaron/classiccmp/library/rt11_system_manual/ Aaron

Wanted: Mac 128K/512K schematics and service manuals

by jlewczyk＠his.com

I've recently acquired one 128K and one 512K Macintosh and am looking for technical documentation on it (schematics, logic diagrams of pc boards). I thought that it would be easy to find on the web, but I've had no luck after more than a week of searching. Any help with schematics or service manuals would be appreciated. I've found some pdf files that have some rudimentary diagnostic procedures: "if the logic board is bad, replace it" "if the floppy drive is bad, replace it". The 128K's floppy isn't working, even after cleaning the coagulated lubricant and I am trying to diagnose the problem. Thanks! John jlewczyk(a)his.com

EBaying; howling after an auction

by fpp＠concentric.net

There are a few eBay tricks. Bidding you maximum by $X + 1 cent or = 51 cents etc. Most people bid in even dollar amounts. Adding 1 penny to your maximum bid often gets you the item. A lot of people know this so now they add 51 cents. It has worked for me several times.

PDP 8/S webpage with many pictures

by daniel＠internet.look.ca

I quickly threw together a page on my PDP 8/s system I have just finished restoring. Many pictures are online so please wait for them to load. My priority right now is to have this unit connected to the internet so folks can play with it online. I will have a *proper* web page online soon with it's own domain name. http://www.bordynuik.com/8s.htm john

Tandon TM 100 5 1/4" drives

Hard vs soft is a controller issue, not a drive issue (at least for non-customized drives like those found in the Commodore 4040, et al.) The drive has to have a sensor for the index hole. The Tandom TM-100 series does. It is ignored in most applications. > There is a little paper tag next to > the metal tag with a "2A" on it, so I'll assume from Don's > message that they are 48 TPI double-sided. That would be the case. It is the exact model used in the first IBM PCs and XTs. My Kaypro II has a pair of TM-100-1As. -ethan ===== Infinet has been sold. The domain is going away in February.
