I just came into ownership (well, I've have it a couple of days) of a
Supermac Technology Enhance card that was an internal upgrade for a Mac128K.
I need some information on this card, such as feature set, connectors, etc.
Basically I need a manual, a copy of same, or to communicate with someone
with experience
with this vintage card and a Mac 128K.
Anybody know about it?
Thanks,
John

It's fallen a bit out of fashion in the past few years, but 10Base2
(50-ohm RG58 Coax) is particularly useful for the "home runs" between
twisted-pair hubs. Many twisted-pair hubs come with Coax connectors for
just this purpose.

It *could* be SCSI, assuming a SCSI <-> SA800 controller is in the box
with the floppy drives. These are found not too uncommonly on some
Apollo and other early workstations. The ones that I've had to deal
with were actually SASI.
But, yes, 99% chance that it's just the SA800 interface cable.

Hi,
I just received an IBM 5120, from Germany. The back says 200/210/220 volts
at 50 Hz. However, opening it up and looking at the power supply reveals
enough choices in wiring that I suspect the power supply might already be
capable of being easily adapted to 110/60 Hz ... does anyone have
any familiarity with this system? Otherwise, I'll be visiting
Fry's for something (transformer?).
thanks,

Subject: New Collector in Need of Help!
I am kind of new to the collecting game. I am in need of some help. I need someone to tell me where I can find older and larger computers. I have a lot of micros, but now I am looking for bigger game. I have decided to focus my collection on older mainframes and minicomputers. Can anyone point me to sources? I found a local business that has older and larger computers, but the owner and I didn't hit it off. It's really a shame. He had some great stuff. While I was there I had to watch the workers scrap what looked like a very old classic control panel. Also, someone recently offered me a UNIVAC System 80. Anyone know anything about it? Is it something worth having in a collection?

Great news... kudos to all involved... score one for our side... :-)

OK, I've got most of the boards out of the PDP-8/m, and some of them are
rather in need of cleaning. Anybody have any recommendations? I don't
remember what the suggestions were the last time this came up, I just
remember that my method (Pink Pearl Eraser) was recommended not to use :^)
