Yeppers, it's time for me to clean out my garage now. August 28th/29th,
12641 SE 277th Place in Kent, WA. I expect to be clearing out a bunch of
computer and electronics stuff, including some DSD-880s, various parts,
DECish boards, PC stuff, etc.
If you're looking for something specific, drop me a note. Other than that,
drop by from 10-16:00 and see what you can find.
Thanks much, and hope to see you there.

<complete (Templates, for example). I have also briefly seen OS/2 3.0 Warp,
<which ran faster, IIRC, but again, I didn't develop a liking for it.
I have that kit and I can't use it on the 286 laptop, requires 386 minimum.
It does run real well on one of my 386/25s, screams on a 486dx2/66.
What I've found though is some of the drivers are slow and if you have some
oddball hardware it's not a good match. I've seen a PS/2m50z running
2.0 and I was impressed. Then again I've seen dos run poorly on machines
due to configuration errors.

Hi,

>much in use and generally the owners want too much because
>they are Apple branded/certifed....
Actually....does anyone here in the UK have an 80Mb Apple branded hard drive
they'd be willing to part with (it's a Quantum LPS80 with Apple ROM) or could
anyone anywhere possibly send me a ROM image of the ROM from said drive; I've
got a drive with a bad ROM which I desperately need to fix and/or replace
(preferably fix as I need to retrieve the data from it)?
Could also do with a 1 or 2Gb SCSI drive, the usual vendors at radio rallies
etc want silly money for them considering the cost of new 4/8/bigger drives
these days.... :-(

Hi all,
Jackpot system for the week. Hyundai Super-lt3, a 286 laptop. Neighbor
put it out for garbage, works, with adaptor and the battery is even good.
I consider this at the hairy edge of classic but it's a useful tool.
I plan to replace the 21mb drive with a spare 80mb and use it hard.
Oh for those neighsayers. I took out the company W3.1 floppy set
and installed it, it doesn't scream as it's only a 10mhz 1mb system but
I did it for laughs. Later I'll install Minix, CCPM, OS2, DR-dos anything
but MSdos.

I just added the following HP stuff to my collection! Looks like I'll be
spending a fair amount of time testing all this stuff out!
2100A cpu, fully decked out with all options (32K core, dma)
2100S cpu, fully decked out with all options (32K core, dma, FPP, FFP)
13037C rackmount disk controller (with interface PCA, controls both MAC AND
HP-IB drives)!
Two 2748B paper tape readers
A Facit RS-232 paper tape punch (don't recall the model offhand, but it's
rackmount)
A bevy of I/O cards, including the following:
Two 12920B Async. Mux controllers (two 3 card sets)
Two 12597 8-bit duplex register cards (for the paper tape readers)
CPU interconnect kit (actually four 12566 cards, two for each machine)
Two 12539 time base generators
Two 12531D high speed terminal interfaces
One 13210 disc interface for 7900A drives (two card set)
One 13183 Mag Tape interface for the HP 7970E drive (two card set)
Tons of cables, rackmount brackets, documentation, etc.
A 7900A disc cartridge containing the complete HP diagnostic library
A box of various paper tapes, including the load tapes for Timeshare Basic
(2000E)
The load tape for Timeshare Basic (2000 Access, 1600bpi magtape for 2100)
The load tape for Timeshare Basic (2000 Access, 1600bpi magtape for 21MX)
A carrier tray with the special IOP roms for 2000 Access
Maybe there *IS* hope for getting an HP timeshare basic system up and
running!

Hi all,
the blower motor in one of my RK05J disk drives (DEC PDP-11/34a system)
burned out. I would like to obtain (buy/trade/anything) a replacement, either
the motor
or the entire blower assembly. Of course, if you have a RK05J where the motor
could be salvaged from I would be happy to do the removel.
Part numbers are
DIGITAL BCO8R-01 UA Rev. M ECO 007 MFG.N.S. 733
Motor is KOOLTRONIC, Inc., No. 7162-0407
115 V 60 Hz 0.47 A U.L. File No. E 40513 Type U62 3000 rpm
By the way, Kooltronic still exists but they do not have any stock left.
In the shops you find lots of 1560 rpm motors, but no 3000 rpm.
Thanks and regards

<Which version of OS2 would run well on that thing? OS/2 2.0 doesn't run
<well on a pentium...
I have 3.0, so that's what I'd try. The comment was anything but MS!
However, I have run 4.0 OS/2warp on a p166 and it was pretty nice compared
to W95. 2.0 would run poorly on Pentium as it's 16bit code and the pent
is far from optimum in that mode.
What I need to find for the Hyundai is there are 8 switches near the handle
in the front... what do they do???

We've got a junk bin full of good 50MB-100MB SCSI drives which you (or anyone
else on the list) can have (all or part) for the shipping.
