This Sunday an Exhibition themed 20th Anniversary of the IBM PC
will open in Frankfurt/M, Germany. The show will last until early
January, so plenty time to book your tikets. I don't have detailed
information about the pices exhibited, but it seams to be a prety
mixed up melnage of PCs and other mid 80s machnines. Check

(German only)
The exhibition is produced by the Förderkreises Industrie- und
Technikgeschichte e.V., a non profit organisation dedicated to
preserve industrial age and technological artefacts. Also least
one of the co-producers (Matthias Schmitt) is also prety active
around other classic computing themes.
Gruss

I assume they exist somewhere, but the closest thing I've ever seen to a
tech reference or service manual for any macintosh was the Chilton's book on
macintosh repair. (Yes, the same people who do automobile repair books...)
It have that book, and it's relatively decent. Only covers old
goldfish-bowl style macs, though. :)
The copy I have, though, is the only copy of the book I've ever seen.

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
There are two major products that come from Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Regardless of whether he likes
it or not, since you have to get past
the initial form where you
type your search query, there is
no simple way to download
their whole database.
I believe that they used to make
some CDs available (presumably for a fee).
It might be easier to get hold
of those (assuming the old scanned manuals
and datasheets are on there!).

I have seen several posts on other fora bemoaning the fact that our
beloved Radio Shack is rapidly phasing out it's sales of carded
components, resistors, caps, diodes, etc.
I imagine this to be the case... and another blow to Enginerds and
parts-level hobbyists not lucky enough to be near a Fry's or other
still-functioning small-quantity parts outlet.
Experimenters: Time to stock up!

Hello all....
I recently picked up an LC 630 DOS Compatible Macintosh. Nice machine, with
SCSI CD, the DOS card, A/V card, and TV tuner card, but no disks or manuals.
I know it's off-topic but someone here already mentioned a restore CD, and I
believe it was for the LC 630. If so, could you contact me off-list
mailto:r_beaudry@hotmail.com ) so I could get a copy? I'll gladly pay for
postage and media costs..
Same for hardcopy manuals. I have some .PDFs, but they're so clumsy ... If
anyone has spare copies of manuals for this machine, especially any tech
references or service manuals, I'll gladly pay postage, and some extra, for
them....
Thanks!
