Hello,
Keep in mind the mindset of AT&T: Deny all problems and avoid taking ANY
responsibility for the customers' problems.
Remember, BELL reall means Better Expect Less and Less . . . . .
>From personal experience, I would avoid (as good common sense) any Bell
company for any POTS/data services. I'm sure there is a plethora of
companies out there who do care about their customers . . . . .
Kind regards

Look at the PROMs on the controller. On a 13-sector card, the chips are
type P5 and P6; on a 16-sector, they are P5A and P6A. Occasionally, you
may find one original (no 'A') and one 'A'. I forget which is which, but
one of the PROMs contains code and the other is a state machine; it was
possible to upgrade the code for slightly better reliability without going
all the way to 16-sector.

I agree. I say send $25 and be content.

Looking for a six in a pile of nines...
VCF 4.0 is September 30-October 1
San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California
See http://www.vintage.org for details!
Hi All,
I have started the arduous task of scanning the manuals I recently
paid too much for on EBay, and I would be interested in suggestions...
The first 20 (~9% or so) pages of the NIA20 manual is online at:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Hardware/6214/index.html
You should be able to search on any word in the document. I haven't
decided about hotspots in the table of contents to take you to a
particular page...
Suggestions?
clint
PS Unfortunately, the book is softbound, so scanning is a page at
a time process...
PPS The 780 stuff is looseleaf, so I am going to try out the
autofeeder at work tommorrow... It's sposed to email me a PDF file...

All PS/1s came with modems and 3.5 drives. some of the midrange 2133,2155 and
2168 models had 5.25 drives, either as a combo drive, or seperately.

I'm sitting here looking at one! Machine type # 2133, model number G53.
Under the folding front door there is a 5.25" floppy (1.2mb). No
provisions
for a external drive and it's owner (first and only) said the 3.5" 1.44mb
drive was added, and she had to get a new bezel for it.
Maybe a variation?

What would you consider an original Apple II (not the II+ or IIe) to
be worth? I received one and I'm going to cover their shipping cost
but want to give a little something extra for the system. Got a
bunch of original doc, software, cards etc. with it. The only minus
is the original boot rom was exchanged with an auto-start rom. But
I have an original rom which was swapped with the auto-start rom
in an Apple II+ so I can make it whole again. :-)
Any comments on value?

Does anyone know of a source for 3W3 to VGA connectors? This is to connect
a DEC 4000/VLC to a VGA type monitor. I've got the 3W3 to BNC cable but I'd
rather not have to use the VR299 all the time :-)

Does anyone have a inexpensive source for some C&K 7413 switches? I
checked Digi-Key, but they want $21.12 per switch!
These switches are used to turn Terak computers on/off, or force a reboot.
