Whoops! Meant that to go privately. Anyway, while I have all of your
attention on the topic of RK8Es, I did happen to go look at my RKV11D
and verified that there is an M993 card at the end of it, the same as
what the RK8E needs. I've read recently about folks thinking of hand-
crufting cables and if that's the case, I'd be glad to photograph/scan
my paddle card if that would help anybody.
Of note is that on the M99E card, there are traces, etc., for a single
DIP part and some associated discrete parts (resistors?) but they are
unpopulated. Would this have anything to do with the differences between
some of the drive implementations, especially as regards to unit select
lines?

Chuck,
Just to let you know, I haven't shipped the RX8E yet. It's in a static
bag and I'm collecting peanuts, etc., for shipping. I expect it to go
out by Tuesday.

I'm looking to buy a Lexbook MB-10, an 8088-based subnotebook made by Lexmark (the IBM spinoff) & discontinued in about 1994-95.
If you have one for sale or any information on Lexbooks, please let me know @ johnsandel(a)earthlink.net.
Thanks.

I also liked it for the most part. However, I did not like
that it needs 128MB to run (though Apple said that the
final version will run in 64MB), nor the fact that the cd comes
without the development environment; that you have to
get separately. Also, I still don't quite like the
"gelcap" look nor the positioning of the window buttons.
But it is a huge improvement, and the best part is
that finally, there is a Mac OS with memory protection.
For me, this was the weakest point of MacOS, in fact
a most serious flaw.

Hello, all:
Does anyone have any experience with Mac-NT compatibility? I want the Mac
to have access to my NT server so that I can move large files across my home
network which is decidedly Windows-based.
Here's the setup. NT4 Server has the Services for Macintosh installed. The
NT configuration is set for routing, seeding the network, and a node range
of 11-254.
The IIci has an Asante NuBus Ethernet card which passes internal
diagnostics and indicates "link". So, I know the connection to my hub is
good.
I have the AppleShare 3.0.1 client installed. The ci runs System 7.0.1.
Re-reading the NT docs, I'm supposed to see the AppleShare icon in the
Chooser, which I don't. I only see AppleTalk. Hmmm...
I configured the MacTCP to point to my firewall for Internet access. Maybe
this should point to the NT Server? It's a private subnet configuration
where the NT server is for file and print sharing only; the Internet
connection is through a broadband firewall/router.
Any thoughts?

I think so. Maybe it was 1988. I remember for certain that I started when I
still had an MFM disk. By 1990, I had a Starboard and a 200M SCSI drive
($375, used).
I had to help debug the package because I was first talking to some sort of
SystemV machine running HDB UUCP and there were problems establishing the
start of the conversation at the "Shere" stage of the protocol.

Macs do not require parity. I have used 1Mb and 4Mb PC SIMMs in my MacIIci
with no problems. Speaking of which, I have more MacII hardware than I
will _ever_ use. If anyone is looking for IIci parts, please write me.

Hello all,
I have a nicely working Kaypro 4-84, and I was wondering if anyone out there
has technical information about the Kaypro 4-84 available. By "technical
information" I mean things like schematics, service information (especially
floppy drive service info), ROM disassemblies, etc. I would prefer them in
electronic form and free :-), but I am willing to pay for photocopying costs
and postage for hardcopies.
Pointers to any web or FTP sites with this information would be
appreciated....
Thanks!
Rich B.

Hamfests? Hah. Hamfests turned into "new taiwanese PC clone hardware
dealer fests" years ago.
There are still a few around here (Washington DC area) where there's
some actual RADIO (gasp!) gear, but not many. I enjoy them very much,
even though they tend to be full of very old people who give me dirty
looks because I have long hair. Ahh, passing of judgement,
stereotypes...I just LOVE our society. *puke*
I, too, am disturbed by eBay's effects on the classic computer world.
But for me, around here, I have a very hard time finding ANY older
hardware. A pdp11/53 or a MicroVAX is the best one can hope for in
this area these days; finding a pdp8/i languishing in a storeroom is
nigh impossible here anymore. I buy a LOT of stuff on eBay
(Mr. Spreadsheet tells me $70,364.16 in the past 2 years), including a
supercomputer and a car, and for all our complaints about it, it has
allowed me to get my hands on some stuff that I've been looking for
for a VERY long time with no success. Sure, I wind up paying more for
it that some people here might consider reasonable...but the alternative,
for me, is often *not having it at all*.

Are these the ones used in Mac Plus, etc?
