But if your intended destination is a web page, most consumer grade cameras
are quite adequate. Screens are about 72dpi, my Sony Mavica FD-71 is
640x480 (or a little over 100dpi for a 4x6 photo).
And I'll say that the Mavica is incredible with a 10x zoom and good
resolution.

*1987*... Now there's foresight!
Well... That sounds like the problem. I had tried some other years in case
the "99" was the problem but, didn't think to try anything that far back.
I'll give that a try when I get home.
I Don't have my Linux box running at the moment so, I'll grab the emulator
later.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Need a copy of TRSDOS 6 OS
The problem is that TRSDOS 6 will not accept _any_ date after 1987.
That applies to 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2. Try giving it a 1986 date and see
if it takes it.
Supposedly, it is still possible to get the update to TRSDOS to fix
this from Tandy, however it is not necessary. Go to Tim Mann's web
page, where he has available for download the final release of
LS-DOS, which has the fix.

Oh, and while you're there, and if you run Linux or any other
flavor of *nix, grab a copy of his newest improved xtrs TRS-80
emulator. I am now running Model One Scripsit and VisiCalc on my
P133 notebook with no need to use dosemu as a go-between as was the
case with the other emulators I'd tried. (There's a .rpm of the
version a couple of patchlevels back at contrib.redhat.com).

Greetings,
I am aware that the Panasonic HHC was a topic on this list some time
ago; I have not yet had the fortitude to search the archives for
leads therefore this request...
Does anyone have any documentation (eg. user/operator manual, SNAP
programming manual, cross-development s/w or information, schematics,
etc.,etc.,etc.? If so, could you be convinced to make dups for cost
and something for your time?
We currently have a request in to a developer of Insurance software
(on EPROM) to scour their archives for any information but as of yet
they've not succeeded.
All replies are much appreciated.

Here's another one from the same fellow, FWIW.

Well, FWIW, I'm just posting this from the Heath reflector if anybody's
interested.
Apparently, the fellow feels his work is worth something as I think the
prices are a bit high. He doesn't actually realize the value of these
things, so go easy on him. (I do not know him. I'm just a silly engineer
myself and probably can do as good of work ;)
Don't know exactly what he means by "detached keyboard" in the H89/H8
combo. I know one trick published years ago was to neatly cut off the
keyboard end of the H89 case, place nice looking covers over the openings
and run a suitable ribbon cable between.

This sort of thing happens with AT power supplies if there is insufficient
load.
Does the power supply cooling fan rotate?
You can check by adding extra load like a hard drive

You can still get copies of "Mapping the C-64" from the author,
