Hi: I have through page 74 of the book from Turley. The last time I checked, that's all that he scanned. He no longer has links to the file archive. If you have a link to his "Driveway.com" account, I'd appreciate it. Rich ========================== Richard A.

IIRC, it was written by Woz as a reference for Apple's engineering dept. Someone (Dr. Tom of comp.sys.apple2 fame (or infamy, depending on your POV)) recently scanned the entire thing and posted it on his website. If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig up the URL and post it here. /mpm

Need help with Grid 386

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

Hi, I just picked up a Grid 386 laptop (model 1530) and it has a strange problem. It powers up but dies after a few minutes. It just starts acting flaky and locks up. If you turn it off and back on, the screen stays blank and it beeps but that's all. I have to let it sit for 1/2 hour or so before it works again. It passes all diagnostics before it crashes. I've opened it up and reseated all the removeable ICs. I also checked for overheating but nothing is even getting warm. Does anyone have a copy of the errors that go with the beep code? It has 2 Mb of RAM (8 SIPPs) in it. Which ones are in bank 0 and which ones are in bank 1? This laptop came out of Martin Marietta and has some really cool software on it. It was used to test the gimbal system used for the IR night vision and laser targetting system on the Apache helicopter. The laptop was connected to the gimbal and would read out all the steering commands and the actual positions from the synchro resolvers. This device was a lot more usefull than you would first imagine since cables and connectors that were routed through the gimbal were very prone to intermitant failures and this could be used to pinpoint at exactly what angles the problem occurred.

Places to go in South Carolina?

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm getting ready to head out to South Carolina and am wondering if anyone knows of any good places to check out in South Carolina for DEC, Sun, or SGI related gear? For DEC stuff I'm interested in all ages, for Sun S-Bus or newer, and for SGI stuff pretty new. Of course since I'm flying out there I won't have room for anything big (of course unfortuantly what I'm really looking for Sun wise is a nice monitor, which I wouldn't want to have to ship).

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1211797980 It breaks my heart -- there is no way I, as a poor med student, can buy this Commodore 900 UNIX server, but if someone out there wants to and would be willing to let me look at one in the flesh ... :-) For information on what one is, see http://www.retrobits.com/ckb/secret/900.html -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * ckaiser(a)stockholm.ptloma.edu -- To generalize is to be an idiot. -- William Blake --------------------------

simple question

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

Can anyone tell me where pin one of the DALLAS real time clock module should point when installed on a 4000/60 main board ? This is the leading culprit in my dead 4000/60 but I'm not sure I recall how to place it back, and while it seems like the socket indicates one way, its not clear that is the correct way. Thanks, --Chuck

IBM PC needs new home

by vcf＠siconic.com

Someday, IBM PC's will be worth big bucks. Just not tomorrow, or even next week. This one comes with a lot of collateral material that will put it above others of its ilk in future years.
