Hi David!
I had offered you some software but didn't have your address and the dog ate
my e-mail . . .
Please send me your address. Also, I'd appreciate it if you'd send me $3.20
for postage.
Most of the programs I can send you have no documentation, not even a readme,
so you're going to have to poke and hope . . .
Stay in touch,
Glen Goodwin

I am putting out a call once again to anybody who has any DOS software (and
I mean anything at all: Word processors, games, scientific programs, etc.)
that will work on a Sharp PC-7000 lunchbox portable.
I think it has 384K, or so, of memory, but programs that run in 256K should
be enough for the job. I also runs DOS Ver. 3.2
I *do not* want to have to sell or scrap this somewhat rare (well, for a PC,
anyway) machine because I have no software for it aside from the boot disk.

I bought from (them) 13&23-March and recieved both items on 4-May.
There were some problems with a core memory board that was shipped
in a (padded) envelope and arrived crushed. They replaced the whole item.
General positive feeling though they ahould be encouraged to wrap things
better. Note that the 5 1/2 week span is a long one.
Communications were from one "Heather" B.

BTW I have some GE SelSyn motors in the garage that a good friend gave
me. A few would be FSOT or even just go for postage to interested parties
on the list. eMail if interested.

I hate to be such a bleedin' mindless dittohead, but Mr. Davis, I
agree with each and every point you made in this lengthy missive.
Right on!

At a different time the said same history channel said it was the VT fuse...
I suspect a broader view would say many things did have significance
to the outcome and duration of the war. No one development was
alone in winning the war.

Ok, I'm cobbling together a PDP-11 and I ran out of slots on my BA11 so I
put a bus extender into it and plugged that into a BA23. The system works
fine (thank you micronotes!) but I'd like to figure out how I could set it
up so that powering up the 11 powered up both the BA11 and the BA23. Now I
know the little 3 plug do-hickey (I think it is a mate-n-lock) normally
connects to a power sequencer in the rack, but I don't have one of those.
Is there any way to make it work otherwise?

A while back, when I turned on the power to my Tektronix 4014
terminal, nothing appeared on the screen, but I smelled an acrid odor.
Upon closer examination, the smell came from the terminal's HV PSU
board around the HV transformer for the CRT circuitry. Is this a
common problem with these terminals? I'm hoping that the CRT hasn't
shorted out, but I haven't had a chance to check that yet.
