Need a ppointer to info on changing where the list-server send mail to. I'm moving to ajp166(a)bellatlantic.net as a DSL hook up. The old address allisonp(a)world.std.com will still be active for several months though I'd prefer if everyone uses the other. Allison

Vax 4000-200 for free, contact address in post

by mbg＠world.std.com

Please contact the person listed at the end of this newsgroup post, not me... - - - - - I also have a working VAX 4000-200, 32MB RAM, CMD SCSI disk controller, TU80 tape drive, CXY08 8 port serial and CXY16 16 port serial boards. Rack mounted BA213 chassis, and TU80 is rack mounted too. Cables for CXY boards. I will throw in a couple Micropolis 650MB SCSI drives too. There is a TF86 tape drive that has a problem, may be broken tape header. Extra DELQA ethernet board too. This machine was running when shut down 6 months ago. The catch? You have to pick it up in Las Vegas NV, and no I won't give away just the boards. I would rather it all goes to someone who wants to preserve an old VAX (I got a 4000-90 now, no space for the 4200). Along with the 4000-200 there is another rack mount BA213 with a VAX 3500 CPU (KA650), 32MB 3rd party memory (doesn't work in the 4000-200 but just fine in the 3500), CMD SCSI controller, dual DELQAs, and a TK50. Same deal, it's your's if you haul it off, and I believe I have an RZ58 (980MB) drive for it too. It was running when shut down 6 months ago. Now if someone has a spare 200Mhz CPU or memory card for an Alpha 2100 200/4 (what used to be called the A500MP) I would love to trade. Interested? Boss says give it away or throw it away. Send me an email if you want to drive a truck to Vegas for a quick vacation and get some clean goodies for the trip home. Jack Peacock peacock(a)simconv.com - - - - -

Great Finds this past week and a half

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

First got a call from a gentleman in Ohio that he had a model 4 TRS 80 he wanted to give me along with some other items after he read the article about me collecting in his local paper there. The machine and other items were here MN with his son. After phone contact with the son I went over to the house and picked up the stuff. It was great a working 64k model 4 with 2 FD that both read fine and tons of business software and games, with some the highlights being Sublogic Flight Simulator, Paddle Pinball, TRSDOS Ver6, Viscalc Ver 02.09.02, LS.Dos upgrade kit to 6.3, pfs:file and report in boxes, TRS-80 Renum Line program, TRSCROSS a utility for IBM PC that reads and writes specific TRS-80 formats, QuikPro + II Automatic program writer, and many more titles on both 51/4 FD (over 55+) and cassettes (over 50+). There were over 20+ manuals with this lot and some them are really cool, like the TRS-80 Pocket Handbook by William Barden Jr. great read. Also got a working DMP100 printer and a VS100 Voice Synthesizer with manual and box it came in when purchased. This unit works with the Model 1, III, and 4. All together the amount of items given to me filled four notebook pages listing the items and sn, pn and other information about each. Other items from this week: 1. Over 20 mousepads and mice for the collection, one mouse I had not seen before was a commodore C04140 date 08/90 has a unusual shape to it. 2. Dynatech Codewriter for the Commodore64. 3. Half a dozen computer buttons for the collection, from intel, drafix, creative lab, and microsoft. 4. Some cartridges for the Atari 2600 5. Some old Burroughs and Sperry notebooks full various spec's 6. Mits 4.1 Boot Loader cassette tape - New unopened 7. Over 25 books to add to the library 8. Apple PowerBooks 100 that needs a little body work but powers up fine and came with tons of extras like ext 3.5 FDD, SCSI cable, leather carrying case, manuals and more. 9. Amiga OS 3.1 in the box with diskettes and manuals but missing the roms. 10. Amiga Dos 1.3 in the box complete with manuals. 11. Sun SPACStation 1 model 147 ServCode 4/60 loaded but does not seem to work, I get nothing on the screen when unit is turned on but the fan works. 12. Tons of cables to sort out and label. 13. SuperGraphix by Xetec mounted on wooden block 14. Epyx Fast Loader for C64 15. APROSPAND 64 by APROTEK 16. Amstrad PPC640 complete and working fine. 17. Many more that I can not list that are 7 to 4 years old. Keep on computing John Keys

Apple IIc+ boot disk for DOS3.3

The double-resolution text mode is 80-column mode, and can be turned on with PR#3. This mode is supported by the ROM. The double low-res (twice as wide, not half as wide!) and double hi-res modes are not supported by the ROM. You can write BASIC routines to use them, but it is much faster to use assembly language routines called by BASIC. These modes are also in the Apple IIe and IIc. The IIgs has super-res modes with hardware color fill available. I am not a IIgs programmer (I use mine as a IIe) but there may be ROM routines in the toolbox to support those modes. The same may be true for the IIgs sound chip. I have seen a BASIC program that used the sound chip, but all it did was POKE the data into memory. No Apple II has real support for even the built-in speaker in the ROM, except for the Programmer's Aid #1 option for Integer BASIC which had tone routines. Paul R.

Palasm?

by Jgzabol＠aol.com

I have been using PALASM during the last 20 years, and only last year swicthed to Abel. I still consider PALASM one of the best tools around, since it allows me to program at the gate-level, not at a logic level removed by many layers from the actual gate level as more modern tools force you to do. I also have a running copy installed on one of my computers. Just drop any questions you have. Maybe you send me privately your PALASM file, and I look through it ? Regards John G. Zabolitzky

springfield hamfest goodies . . . and more

by ghldbrd＠ccp.com

Hello, Finally found a good Commodore 128 for yours truly there. Is there in our midst a person who might have the cp/m boot disk for one? Or point me in the right direction? I was even given a Sony CPD-1320, so I'm sitting pretty good now. There's an electronic surplus company that is also located there -- I went up to peruse it and found in the front window a complete Rockwell Aim-65 developer, including keybaord, and eprom burner attached. And some sort of off-brand computer with two external style 8" floppy drives. by the name I know it is a 6800 based machine of some sort. I will be calling back there later on to get the straight skinny on that. I'll post the info if any of you might be interested. Kind regards -- Gary Hildebrand Box 6184 St. Joseph, MO 64506-0184 816-662-2612 or ghldbrd(a)ccp.com

11/73 control panel on Epay

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Of course, the only valuable thing about it is that it has the damn near impossible to find model number medallion on it... I wish I could find an 11/83 one, and a VAXstation II/GPX one..
