While we're not on the topic, please tell me... is light "really" a
particle, or "really" a wave? How about electrons?

P.S. No, I am *NOT* serious, I do *NOT* want to read such a discussion.
My Sun 1/100U lives once again... reseated the boards and realized someone
had removed the ram board. I just happen to have ram boards that came from
a sun 2 server, and poof! It lives!
The monitor is in pretty good shape, the image is shifted a bit, but it
looks like its mostly if not all visible.
The main problems are: I have no idea how to enter the local prom mode,
or even if there is a local prom mode.. Whups! Looks liek one way is to
let the computer time out on its boot attempt. I still cant get any
help on available prom commands. 'printenv' printed a small hex-dump like
thing, then immediately the screen cleared and rebooted...
Anyways, main problem is going to be locating the OS for this computer.
Does anyone have SUN OS for a Sun 2 class computer? I forget what its
called, suntools or sunview or something like that..

I just got back from the opening day of the Orlando hamfest. So far I
picked up an Apple IIc plus, three more Compaq Portables IIIs, three HP
97s, a HP 92, two old HP catalogs and two old Tektronix catalog and this is
only this first day!
I also found some HP cables. They have a DB-25 female connector and a 36
pin Aphenol connector on the other. They have part number 13242D on them.
Anyone know what they're for?

Hi Everyone,
I got home a little while ago and have been attempting to get my 486
working with two modems. I just remembered that I wanted to get online
and chat about the APOLLO.
1. The first card is a national instruments corps. assy. 180100-02 REV.
J GPIB-PCII copyright 1989
2.the display board is a madel 56-3118 A-3011-56
3. Two SIMMs made in Puertico Rico 56-3118 N10106 SIX empty
SIMM slots
4.Motherboard A-3050-09 3115-1152 Made in USA
5.Does anyone have a MONITOR for this or can you TELL me what type of
monitor to get.
6.Can I put the harddrive in a PC W/SCSI adapter card and use it as is
without reformating?
7.Compared to a PC how fast is this?(i.e> is it a 486, a P-80, P-300,
8088)
Thanks for listening to me,
John Amirault

In 1983 at the end of taking a digital tech course at a community college
here in Toronto at George Brown CC, I spent about a month assembling and
debugging a trainer kit that my prof was marketing, similar but more
sophisticated than the Heathkit ET34400. It was called a M(icro)SOKit 68.
It was based , of course, like the ET3400 on the M6800 CPU. Does anyone have
one of these out there ? It was geared to teach students about micros by
building their own micro. I know he sold a number of them, but don't know how
many. I have the manual, parts #s, etc. if anyone is interested. Included in
the manual is a couple of pages of layouts obviously meant to be photocopied
and etched.

Yep, I have one of those. An Icom frugal floppy but that was 1771based.

Well heres where I stand on it. Never seen one, I was there, and never
seen an advert for one, I have back issues. Was it possible, sure. The 8"
design with some tweeks would certainly do minifloppy.

HI All,
I need some help please. I have an ATI small wonder graphics solution
Ver. 2 P/N 18703 Rev.0 copyright 1988. I also have a DTK model PIP-151
W/8088 CPU in it and 640kb RAM.
My question on these two items is> Are they compatable?
If the answer to that question is yes, can, and will, someone give me
the jumper settings for jumpers 1,2,3 ?
If no, then what kind of adapter card do I need to hook up an IBM model
5153 monitor? I have several old moniter adapter cards.
Can I increase the RAM in the DTK PIP-151 past 640kb? If yes, how? If
no, thanks.
On another subject I took the APOLLO 400 apart and have some numbers to
ask about later, after I get to my other house, the one with the classic
computers in it.
