I'm curious, has anyone ever sat down and figured out how best to define a database that would hold info on all thier Classic Computer documentation.

For example, a randomly selected piece of Fiche yields the following info: Colour: Brown Bar Title: Mini Index 83-05 ???: Hardware Documentation Library Index, Updateing and User Information Part … [View More]

OT: 30-pin SIMMS

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<Does anyone here have any 30-pin SIMMs as often found in i386 computers <that are more than 1 megabyte? I have 1-mb SIMMs but I've never seen <bigger ones You can still buy 30pin simms (256k, 1mb, 4mb) from JDR. the 4mb parts are scarce and finding them for less than 10$ is hard. The 1mb parts are like flies and they can be had for nearly nothing. Allison

<Which simply means, carry a screwdriver with you at all times :) In fact, <PC clones sometimes have interesting software on them. I once saw a Compaq <Portable that had a network card and had apparently been used in some sort <of DEC network. Yes, DEC sold cards and networking software to work with the VAX (DECNET) systems. The software started as PCSA, later known as PATHWORKS and TEAMLINKS. Since I have and use vaxen the software would be a find. The net cards are standard eithernet. Allison

OT: 30-pin SIMMS

by JRichardson＠softwright.co.uk

>> Are there any adapter cards so 4 1mb simms can be used as a 4mb >> 30 pin? I have seen those that can be used as a 72 pin. Well, I came across a 72-pin adapter that took 30 pin SIMMS (I'm not sure if you meant that or were talking about 72 pin adapters that took 72 pin SIMMS). I've never seen a 30 - to - 30 adapter around, although I'd expect it to be possible to build one. I think SIMM-savers were only around briefly during the couple of years when 30 pin SIMMS were going out … [View More]
