I'm still digging. I found more 550 stuff. I think this is everything
that came with the 550. Here's a chance for you 550 owner's to get the
whole set at one shot!
Original DS-DOS box and invoice.
Original Sanyo Easywriter ver 1.3 disk
Original Sanyo disk box with 550 dos ver 2.11 and BASIC 1.25, two
original Sanyo disk for InfoStar (set B disk 2 and 3 of 4; disks 1 and 4
are below), original Sanyo disk for DOS 1.25 and BASIC ver 1.1
Original Sanyo disk box with all three original disk of set A, WordStar
and CalcStar and a backup copy of DS-DOS.
Two card board dummy disks used to protect the floppy drives duing shipment.

additon, the InfoStar, MailMerge/SpellStar are Sanyo labeled disks that
came with the 550. If anyone wants them, trade me something I can use and
they're all your's.

I recently filled the car with these:
Apollo DOMAIN Series 3500
Domain series 3000 model 3010
HP/Apollo series 400
(2) Sun 3/60 + tape drive and tapes
Sun 3/50
Apple lisa 2
(2) apple II Ci
Mac SE/30 with radius monitor
Mac color classic
Quadra 610
Quadra 800
Quadra 860
power mac 7200/90
Also available was a volker Craig terminal, and a copy
apple's unix
I also have "quite a pile of HP 712/715/725s in various
condition" for me to pick up when I get some space cleared.
IKEA has said that the missing piece to complete the
shelving will be delayed another 3 weeks, and my wife says
no more machines until the shelves are up!
hey do you have any ideas about using relays or some thing connected to a parallel or aerial port to control the power to an outlet, you know like a dimmer switch controlling motors ETC
if you have any thought or ideas I'd be glad to hear them.

Do you know how much shipping will be?
I am getting my PDP-11/34 and my RK05 disk drives and packs tommorrow, and I have a few questions.They have have been in storage for years, and, although they have been kept dry, they are probably dusty. Can anyone tell me how to clean the drives and the disk packs before I use them?
Thanks,
Owen

It also grew from the 8089 (20 bit) and the 8751(8bit) for embedded
processing
tasks like engine controls.

English is my second language, though I've been using it as my primary
language since I was 6. Because I learned it as my second language, I've
developed into one who's somewhat stilted in his usage of the language, and
also one who's very much aware of the application of grammar, syntax, and
orthography. I am, therefore, thoroughly convinced that American English,
if it follows the current trend, will degenerate into a sequence of
monosyllabic grunts and whines by the time another couple or three
generations have passed. Just look at the more recent additions to the
Webster International Lexicon of the English language: words like "duuhh"

I received this piece of fan mail from someone who had
visited my Ancient Alphabetic Art page at
http://www.threedee.com/jcm/aaa/ .
It sounds like he's making an interesting video.
I'm sure he'd appreciate any insights from list members.
I haven't checked my archives to see if I have this
American Gothic image. If I don't, I might beg someone
to help him recover the files from his tape...

"In the case of the 1771 and 179x series it's possible to build a really neat
circuit I've seen but never tried to match, which uses the /TEST pin on the
FDC to cause the device to put out its pulses much faster, allowing them to
be accumulated externally in a counter, which, drives a DAC which drives a
VCO, which drives the counter as it downcounts the number of steps, thereby
slewing the head assembly. This could lead to an interesting but lengthy
discussion.

Sounds like an ideal candidate for reimplementation in a single chip
microcontroller.
