I'll agree a lot to obtain one copy of this driver because
I have another Hardcard of 105 Mb in my IBM XT-286
and it appears to have some working problems with
its actual driver.
Thanks in advance and Greetings

Ahh, but without the blood-sacrifice, the systems wouldn't run nearly as
well ;)

If the speed of an electron in a wire is equal to the speed of light (IIRC,
it's slower than light), then an electron will travel about 11.80 inches in
one nanosecond, which is the point Hooper was trying to illustrate.

It wouldn't hurt to thank her for her efforts too, at the risk of
sounding weird...I, for one, would likely have a very boring life if
it weren't for the work of those early pioneers.

Rather, some of the netware privs are suggestive of VMS. ;)

Wait a doggone minute, I know that's not right, I distinctly
recall seeing a film in school of a wire as a pipe and ball-
bearings as electrons... they go in one end, they come out
the other...
...and they're blue.
Hi!
Is there any way to connect an apple IIC Plus to a "modern"
monitor?
It has a 15 pin connector that has a strange pin out - and a
composit video out on an RCA plug.
I currently use an apple monochrome (tilt-y tube) monitor
to see 80 col text and a Panasonic monitor to see the color
modes. I have to lug to switch them.
I didn't see the original.
Philip Freidin (www.fliptronics.com) is a friend of mine who is doing a
3.2Ghz FPGA. Yes, it takes a level of skill most of us don't posses but
I've seen it protos running on his work bench. Doing 1Ghz for him would
probably be rather straight forward.

This person needs the Internal Data Specifications for the HP71. He's
writing a multitasking OS for the HP71. Can you help him?

IDS is three volumes of Internal Design Specifications.
All about the hardware and software, including the OS listing.
>What would you be needing this for?
The HP71 processor is used on other calcs, like the HP48, and I'am
developing a multitasking OS for this calc.
I think there was some interesting software in the HP71, the Fort/Assembler
pack for example.
This can be a great help.
Thanks for your reply.

It's targeted at an entirely different market than color lasers, so
that's not really a valid comparison. But yes, the Phaser III output
is *really* impressive.

Well, I had some exposure to a Phaser III, but it's been a while, and I
don't think I've ever seen anything like the above message.
I suppose you've gone through the whole "check the cables, make sure
nothing's stuck, check for grilled cheese in the ink-wells" thing? (The one
I used, at least, was a thermal transfer printer. Very nice.)
I might also suggest removing the cables, and if there's a NIC, pulling it
to see if that's the fault location.
Otherwise, it's unfortunate that most people/institutions don't have the
good taste to purchase such printers ;) I'd have liked to have more
exposure to them.

I've had no problem with them -- they stick a little sometimes, but that's
not too much trouble. I'd rather that than have them fall out. :)

You could say that. Unless, someone figures out a computerized (like, using
a Vax 9000?) tracking and pee-spraying system...

I think if I hadn't gotten to the cat fast enough, she would have...
fortuantly, the cage makes a LOT of noise when the cat would pop it open,
and after the 2nd time, I started using the water bottle.
I can't blame her, I got her as a stray, so rodents were probably her
main source of food (that and it seems Wendy's french fries since she
will claw your eyes out to get to them). I just wish she would start
catching the damn mice... its getting cold out, I don't want to have to
