Scrapping hardware to get it off the books (RE: Is it a Lisa or Mac XL?!)

(I don't expect a full mention, but > concepts like "there were some classic Macs there, and some boards for > Apple IIs that look like serial cards"). I saw a pair of 5.25 inch floppy units; the top of either a Mac Classic or an SE (a Classic, I think); the backside of either a IIcx, IIci, or Quadra 700; Extended Keyboard IIs; There was a SuperMac monitor, smaller than the 19inch Radius I've got, but the bug mentioned a "huge" one in back. Since I pulled two //e from outside their firm last week, I'm somewhat loaded-up; I only need to get one working (which may involve nothing at all), and both units had serial boards; one was Apple-orginal, the other 3rd-party. I should mention that I'm heavily laden with Macs, having been the repository of all the ones we used to have here at our firm. Whatcha need? I could spare at least one or more of the following: Quadra 605 (LCII form factor) Quadra 650 Quadra 700 Mac IIci I have Extended Keyboard IIs, and maybe one or two of either the smaller keyboard and/or the split keyboard. Not sure if I have any working mice I can spare... Drive capacties would be from 80MB to 170MB... Regards, -dq

Looking for CPT 9000 word processor

by vcf＠vintage.org

I am looking for a CPT 9000 word processor, circa 1988. It has a page display and is based on an Intel 80286. I specifically need the monitor and video card, which is a proprietary 16-bit deal, but will take a complete system if need be. Please contact me privately if you've got one to sell or know where one might be. $50 finders fee! Thanks!

>Tried Vicom Internet Gateway? I am loyal to Sustainable Softworks because their support is really really good.

Is it a Lisa or Mac XL?!

by mythtech＠Mac.com

>It's time for a group of us to find the Utah landfill >where they dumped the Lisa inventory 15 years ago... > >Since you can find undecayed hotdogs from the 1960s >in a landfill, I'm thinking the Lisas should be well >preserved... I think I read somewhere, that Apple had guards watching the landfill until they were satisfied that all the lisa's had been crushed beyond hope. But who knows, that could just be a story, and they may all be sitting in a pile somewhere waiting to be booted. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Off Topic - stereo to PC question

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

> Can anybody tell me how to attach my stereo to my PC so that I can transfer > from Cassette to CD-R or hard-drive. A couple of us on the list have Mac's that are setup as "Digital Audio Workstations" that can do this. Basically you need a good soundcard and some good software. Don't mess with the free junk that ships with the Adaptec CD burning software, it's just that, junk! For software I'd start by looking at Arboretum RayGun at http://www.arboretum.com/, they've got a demo you can download. I use a combination of RayGun and Bias Peak on a Echo Products Darla24 soundcard. I've dedicated my old PowerMac 8500/180 to this, though hopefully one of these days I'll be able to move it to a souped up 9500 or 9600. There are simular solutions for Windows based PC's. Zane

Off Topic - stereo to PC question

by csmith＠amdocs.com

I suppose you've tried connecting the line out on the stereo to the line in on the peesee? :) That is the normal way ;) Seriously, it's not difficult. The cable should look something like this: -)<signal>......................... |_<ground>--------------------- ... ..|....>--- . |____| -)<signal>..................... | |_<ground>--------------------- Where -) is an RCA plug, the outer shield on the plug is ground, and the pin is signal. >--- is a 1/4 inch headphone style plug. The bottom-most segment is ground, and the top two are signal, I think. Connect each RCA signal wire to its own signal segment on the 1/4" plug, and the grounds to the ground. This is straight from memory, but I think that's the way it works. Sorry I can't tell you which segment to use for left and which for right. You should also be able to buy prefabricated cables at radio shack or somewhere if you like.

Off Topic - stereo to PC question

by DAW＠yalepress3.unipress.yale.edu

It all depends on whether or not the soundcard in your PC has a line-input connector. If it only has a mic input, you might get away with connecting to that, but be careful about the levels... --- David A Woyciesjes --- C & IS Support Specialist --- Yale University Press --- mailto:david.woyciesjes@yale.edu --- (203) 432-0953 --- ICQ # - 905818 ! -----Original Message----- !

Humm... I have been hunting for a multi ethernet capable 040 for a while (so the 650 or 700 would work), to replace my IIsi with SCSI ethernet firewall/router... but I recently ran into a problem with the 68k version of IPNetRouter, and am thinking of going to a PPC with it. What are you looking to get for either a 650 or a 700? Also, if by the "split keyboard" you mean the short lived ergonomic keyboard apple offered, that would be cool. I can use it in place of my current keyboard and see if it helps me any. Where are you located? (just to get an idea of shipping possibilites... I can already rule out things like monitors, too hard to safely ship unless it is one that I just HAVE to have). As far as things I am actively LOOKING for... I want a 660AV, a MacTV, 20th Anniv Mac, Lisa (obviously), and an Apple TV Tuner card with remote. But I will take anything Apple related that people will just give me (although not everything stays with me, better useable macs get given out to people that can't afford a computer... for instance, the Classic II I got from David I am giving to someone for Xmas that has no computer, the kid can at least use it for writing school papers, checking email, basic web browsing, and playing some games... it is a step ahead of the nothingness he can use right now). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
