Thanks to all for your responses so far. We now have enough interest to place an order for eleven sets of belts.

new stuff

by dogas＠leading.net

Wow, UPS delivered 3 hrs ago and I'm still trying to dig myself out of the pile. You gotta love those 145lb UPS deliveries. My Thinker Toys S100 homebrew system came in with several little supprises. The basic system is a Wunderbuss with 2 8" Shugarts, 2 exetron Stringy Drives (with 30 cartridges), and 13 s100 cards, 1 wirewrap, and one card that's a I don't know what... Pictures and restoration log publishing pending. Some of the cooler docs include Intel MSC-4 Micro Computer Set Users Manual Jan 1972 Rev. 1 ;) !!! "" Sept 1974 Rev. 5 Intel MSC-8 8008 8-bit Parallel Central Processor Unit Users Manual March 1973 Rev. 3 Processor Technology Extended Cassette BASIC Users Manual Jan 1978 Gotta go, I hear the siren song.

Who invented the internet?

<Well, if you mean the rescue I think you mean, it's actually in the Indian <Ocean. That's where the Challenger went down.

Sorry I don't have any paper tapes here so I know I don't have the cable. Most later DEC cables I probably have however. Dan >BC08-J > >> >> I probably do but where are they used.

FSOT: Apple IIc+

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

I have a good working Apple IIC Plus with the Apple monochrome monitor and an Apple 5 1/4" external disk drive that I don't need. I'll take offers for it in either cash or trade. If I don't get any fair offers, it's off to E-OverPay. I'm interested in S-100 stuff, NorthStar OS software, and/or HP computers or calculators. Joe

Floppy/Parallel Ports

by sinasohn＠ricochet.net

At 12:39 AM 2/17/99 +0000, you wrote: >> Seeing as he said 'the parallel port' I would assume he meant _THE_ >> parallel port as in 'the D-25 female connector with the pinout that was > >In which case you're restricting it to PCs and clones only I would think. Okay, I'll try to be more clear... 8^) (And yes, I know "early" is the 50's around here. 8^) What I'm researching is computers that used the Centronics parallel port to access a floppy drive or other storage device. Mostly interested in PC's and compatibles, or computers that use a "PC-compatible" centronics port (like the Atari ST). It needs to be controlled by software only (no A/B/PRT switch like some Toshibas) and ideally needs no re-configuration before switching between drive and printer (or better still, offers a pass-through for the printer.) HP-IB/GPIB/IEEE-488 is interesting, and somewhat related, but not entirely relevant; same for SASI & SCSI. Also, anything after 1990 or so is too new.
