" My favorite radios glow in the dark"
Hi all,
I really have to apologize for repeatedly sending private mail to the list.
Does anyone know about a mail browser with two different reply functions:
- reply to originator
- reply to reply address ??
The classiccmp feature of always having the list as reply address
is a little dangerous.
Regards

I have two Tandon 286 computers. Each has two removable harddrives. They
are in good working order and if I could find someone here in Springfield,
MO that would take them I would gladly give them away. Do you want them?
I still have both of the keyboards but I use one of them on my new compter
(I just liked it). They each have one 5 1/4" floppy 1.2 meg size. Will
you pay the shipping costs?
Please reply to this email or email me at rlgrampa(a)prodigy.net.

Puttin' the smack down on the man!
Has anyone out there heard of a Multi-Mac Apple ][ Clone, model MT-600? I
was digging along the back shelf in my basement and found one... it's been
there for quite some time (a friend abandoned it with me when I was still in
college).
It appears to be an unremarkable clone, c. mid-1983 (S/N 8306055, suggesting
to me a manufacturing date of June, 1983, which jibes with the chip dates).
Inside were two cards - a clone language card with a 4-pos DIP switch and
a clone dual disk card with PROMs labelled P5 and P6 (like a real Apple
Disk ][ card). The RAM is 8 4164s, the ROMs are a wad of 2732s. It booted
almost everything I threw at it except a "Castle Wolfenstein" disk that may
or may not be defective (I/O error on boot after loading the HELLO program).
I only bring it up because I have never seen nor heard of another one. The
usual Apple clones I'm familiar with are Lasers and Franklins. This is clearly
neither.
It was fun booting my box of Apple disks to see what came up. I threw at it
some unpublished software from a former employer - "Cross Swords", a game from
1983-1984 that pitted warriors in a fantasy setting against each other with
pre-programmed goals in a capture-the-flag scenario. It was mostly done when
the company folded following Reader's Digest abandoning the home software
market (they sold all of our titles, "Micro Mother Goose", "Alphabet Beasts
and Company" and "Micro Habitats", among others). I was most the C-64 guy
there, but I did Apple and BBC Acorn programming, too. We were almost
exclusively a 6502 shop. IBM games came at the end, but with CGA graphics,
our stuff looked better on the C-64 or Apple ][.

Nice find :-) I don't have any practical advice or information, though :-(

As you may have discovered, the M8192 is a KDJ11-AA, ie an 11/73 processor.
If it has -YB marked on it, it's an -AB version, which can accept an FPU,
and if it has -YC, it should already have an FPU. M8192's were commonly
sold as OEM boards, or as upgrades for 11/23 systems.
M7546 is a TKQ50, ie the controller for a TK50 'CompacTape' cartridge
drive.
Sorry, I can't help with the CTBC card.
I assume it has some memory and an SLU? And a card with a boot ROM?

Wow, that would be nice. If the show is in NJ, PA, or MD, I'll help out
and perhaps exhibit.

VCF EUROPE??
I would not miss it!
I could organize a trip of 20-30 italian collectors.
Let me know.

I-47100 Forl?
Hello, all:
I just got an NCR 3125 tablet pen-based computer with minor problems.
The CMOS battery is bad, and although I replaced it, I can't get into the
BIOS to reset the clock, etc.
Does anyone know how to get into the BIOS setup?
Thanks!
