MCM Electronics. <http://www.mcmelectronics.com> although they are really
a catalog company, not an online retailer, so I have found their web site
lacking. I don't recall the extact name of their product, but I believe
it is just "Rubber Rejuvinator". It comes in a small 2 oz or so bottle,
kind of a yellowish liquid, and stinks pretty bad (I have a bottle at
work, alas, I am not at work to give you better details). I think when I
bought it I paid about $3 for the bottle, and it has lasted a LONG time.

RS staff being clueless? NO WAY!!!... They USED to sell it, that is where
I bought my first bottle of it. However, the RatShack one I bought didn't
work half as well as the one I bought from MCM.

I downloaded an evaluation version of a program called TCPView fron
http://www.winternals.com which tracks in real-time the port usage and the
module responsible for the port. This is how I found out that the monitoring
software for the UPS was grabbing the SNMP port.
I would still appreciate pointers to free utilities for NT that do this
because $70 is too much to spend for the expected rare usage.
Thanks to those who replied.

Commodore 1541 type drive are serial and have a tremendous
amount of handshaking to the interface. It's just a matter
of writting new interface routines. I've been able to transfer
one byte across the interface in about 50 clock cycles (loading
a 50K file in 12 to 13 seconds).

The C64 uses a 6510 which is a 6502 with a built in 6 bit
I/O port and DMA. The 1541 uses a 6502.

I had a Aquarius disk drive at one time. It used those tiny diskettes
that are smaller than the Compact floppies used on the Amstrad. I traded
the Aquarius drive to someone in Australia that had a pile of Aquarius
disks and no drive. I traded for a stack of Aquarius docs and a board
that allows me to use 1541s with my Aquarius.

More than that. Some of the pins are used for non-RS232 on/off signalling
of battery state, etc. That's common on UPSs, not just APC ones. My
Powerware Prestige 6000 does that too.

Have you looked at the Network UPS Tools project?
http://www.exploits.org/nut/ has information about lots of UPS stuff,
inculding APC. See in particular the 3rd Q/A in the FAQ at
http://www.exploits.org/nut/library/faq.txt

A little clarification... The SE/30 has the Radius eaxpansion card. Don't
have the external monitor for it...

Yup... around 1820 in Southern Indiana, most people
who grew them just liked the tiny yellow flowers the
wild tomatoes produced... but a branch of my family
that lived a little further north started eating
them, and spreading the news.
They do carry one or more chemicals that many people
(especially those of Native American ancestry) are
allergic to; in *any* form, they have the effect of
causing my sinuses to swell shut.

Hi,
I picked up an Axil 311 SS10 clone over the weekend to replace my
IPX. I am not at all familiar with Axil's systems, so does anyone know
what types of memory sticks I can use on this system. Also, can
I replace
the bootrom with 2.25R so that I can use Ross mbus modules?
Thanks,
Ram
PS: I am assuming it is 100% compatible with the SS10, but a quick
google
search seems to give conflicting answers....
