I pulled a Wang sytem unit from the scrapheap.
Type probably 6560. 10 Mb harddisk, 5 1/4 " floppy. I have no keyboard, and
no monitor. Internally a number of plug in cards in a strange format. I
have a Wang system logbook for it in dutch.
Is this unit of any interest or should I just return it to the scarpheap?
The unit is in Arnhem, the Netherlands.

Anyone know of a source of RS-422 (Mac mini-DIN serial) female-female
gender benders? I'm toying with teaching the C128 to speak LocalTalk
through its ACIA cartridge but I can't seem to find a female RS-422 to
DB9 or DB25 connector, so I need some sort of gender bender to hook
the LocalTalk box up with. Does anyone sell these? I can find male-male
but this isn't too helpful :-)
By the way, Fry's sells Mac Crackers. Like so many other things at Fry's,
of course, no one there knows they do, but in the Tools section under
Torx T15 drivers is an honest-to-goodness 11" T15 MacCracker with magnetic
tip. Worked like a charm on the SE/30, and now it has a 1GB hard drive.

Hello all. This is Kevin Stewart, formerly a2k(a)one.net. That address died a
long time ago and I never got around to resubscribing until now.
Anyway, I am currently looking for an unbuilt computer kit or plans. S100
bus would be cool, but I don't really care about that or the processor -
z80, 6800, 6502 - I iust want a project. Parts should be easy to find and
relatively cheap. I would prefer a serial interface for I/O.
Thanks,
Kevin

If Mike Noel's re-hash of the switch settings aren't sufficient, email me
off list and I'll make you a xerox copy of the full manual (80-90 pages,
theory of operation, schematic, timing diagrams, etc.) for .05/page plus
postage.

Hello, all:
Some months back, I had a deal on several AIM65 systems. Well, my contact
sent me a message indicating that he had one more available. It's in a
custom-molded case with power supply. The price is $100 + S/H from New
Jersey.
If anyone's interested, let me know.

Hi,
The Sol I just got came with two 16KRA memory boards.
I didn't get any documentation for these boards.
One seems to be occupying the address range 4000-7FFF.
This board seems to be OK. I can enter values and dump
them back out.
The other board seems to be addressed from 0 to 3FFF.
Without the board in the system, dumps from this address
range show all FF. With the board installed, dumps from
this address range show values other than FF. Entering
values into this address range does not seem to work.
The command works, the machine does not hang, but the
values displayed by the dump command don't change.
There are two, eight bit dip switches on each board.
The settings are very different on the two boards.
Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink

There was a posting recent in comp.sys.dec where a guy had a bunch of
stuff for sale. Among them:
2 DEFZA-AA TC FDDI interface $10
He said that they were gone shortly after the posting, but at least they
are available.

Hello, all:
A friend of my sister-in-law gave me the original IBM portable (well,
lugable) Model 5155 and RGB monitor. It's the dual drive model. There's a
37-pin DB connector on the back. External floppy??
I have to say, this equipment is in the best condition of any classic item
I have ever acquired. Not a scratch, dent or cabinet fade. No dust
either...anywhere. I know that the owner was anal retentive, but oh boy. I
haven't tried yet, but it was just taken out of service after many years of
use.
