3Com I don't sweat, fairly common, I "may" even have one, and one style of
dongle fits a bunch of 3Com cards. I mention it mostly on the chance that
some member of the list is the grand dragon of dongle collecting, sitting
on a huge hoard of dongles.

I played with OCR a while ago and none were accurate enough that you didn't
need to spend a lot of time cleaning up if you were only using the OCR
output. They also had problems maintaining format but did pretty good if
you went to PDF. PDF does have an ability to store documents with both the
bitmap for viewing/printing and OCR text to allow searching etc. Adobe
capture is the big one for that but expensive. Pagis used to support it
and was inexpensive but dropped that capability.
Links from when I was looking. Since I still had/have lots of documents
left to scan I decided fancy features which take time can wait.

http://www.pdp8.net/ -- Run an old computer with blinkenlights
Howdy,
Yesterday I went to a couple of secondhand stores in town. I was
excited to find a U.S. Robotics 56k x2 Sportster Modem with the
original box (for a Macintosh) for one dollar! I have an identical
one that I use & I was glad to get another one to upgrade my Mom's
Mac from 33.6k to 56k. I figured it would be easy to update it to
v.90 with the USR Update Wizard because that's what I did to mine a
couple of years ago. WRONG! The server that the Wizard dialed has a
busy signal. After searching on the web for half an hour, I finally
tried calling U.S. Robotics. After sitting on hold for 20 minutes &
being asked stupid questions for another 10, I finally got my answer.
That update server has been down for 4 months ever since USR & 3Com
split the sheets. So I asked if I could get a disk to use (the
updater can update via phone or disk). NO! Unavailable! So imagine my
chagrin now when my bargain modem is hobbled at 56k x2. I think it is
only connecting at 33.6k, but Remote Access reports "unknown speed".
Would anybody have the disk that the Update Wizard needs to bring me
to v.90. Also, I found a Amstrad PC1512 & a Visual Commuter
Computer. Are these collectible or just more ordinary PC clones?
Thanks,
Steve C.

Used to be, you could go to Radio Shock and purchase one of those
solder-yourself 44-pin edgecards that mate with the KIM-4 expansion
board. I'm thinking one way around my dead keyboard issue which
also solves my desire for expansion would be to add a CPLD
decoder, 32K SRAM, 32K ROM (with holes around the 6530s
and remapping new patched monitor into $1800-$1FFF), and 6551
UART/MAX232 combo to input code and d/l intel hex. (The cassette
interface on poor KIM is dead, too.)
By the way, if anyone's interested, I have a generic 6502 Intel Hex
program downloader program that allows you to assemble and directly
download programs from the development PC into your SBC.
It's freeware so have at it if anyone finds it useful.
It's at:

I've gotten some griping about my selection for the location of the first
VCF East.
No doubt, a good majority of folks will be quite happy with the selection.
This is no accident. The site was chosen based on the demographics I
collected. Most of the attendees will be coming from Massachusetts and
surrounding areas.
As with any sensible business decision, it was based on what will
hopefully bring as many attendees to the event, which in turn means I will
be able to recoup expenses and will therefore want to continue to do
Festivals on the east coast.
I received over 150 responses to the VCF East survey. Here is a summary
of the results:
This chart shows the number of responses received from each state, sorted
by number of attendees in descending order.

MA 27
NY 15

- Nearly 25% of potential attendees will be coming from MA alone
- 40% of potential attendees will be coming from the New England area
- If you include NY, PA and NJ with New England, nearly 70% will be coming
from this combined northeast region
There was also a strong desire to keep the event close to the Rhodes
Island Computer Museum and the Retro-Computing Society of Rhodes Island so
that tours to those facilities could be organized. Providence is only
about 45 minutes from Worcester. There are also several other museums
that I hope to get involved with the event, including the MIT and
Harvard museums and the Computer Museum in Boston.
Worcester is still within only a few hours of where most of the potential
attendees will be coming from. I don't know how you east coast folks
perceive distance, but I've lived in California all my life and a 6-hour
drive from the San Francisco bay area to the Los Angeles area is no big
deal to me. I made the round-trip in one day a couple weekends ago to
pick up an old computer. Driving a couple to three hundred miles should
not be a major ordeal for most folks.
So there you have it, the reasoning behind the selection of the location
for VCF East 1.0. I know it won't please everyone, but the unhappy folks
need to realize it has to be held where it makes the most sense.
I really look forward to VCF East, and I hope you easterly folks do too :)

Speaking as a USian anarchist, I can say with a high level of confidence
that the United States sucks the most. Bar none. The US is by far the most
powerful corporate imperial force on the planet today, and as folks way
back in this dead horse of a thread were saying, our government is very
much beholden to various corporate interests. The last few months of the
Bush II administration (i.e., repealing clean air regs, 86-ing workplace
safety laws, etc.) must be a very explicit illustration to the rest of the
world just how much corporations (and to a lesser extent the Religious
Right) run the show .

It is a product put out by DATA-20, an outfit that used to be
in the L.A. area. It does three things: Firstly, it adds 64 k
of *paged* ram to the VIC! It gives the VIC a 40 or 80-column
mono display, and the VideoPAK also has firmware that will
turn the VIC into a data terminal.
It's a cool item, alas, it no longer works (only works in 40
column mode now). It cost big bucks in 1982 when I bought
it (something like $300). It came with a word processing
program, and a spreadsheet. My then-future wife used it in
the lab were I worked for billing, letters, etc.
It's the only one like it I've ever seen. The other ones
I've seen were the 32k model.
These guys also made an 80-column cart for the c-64 (along with
a CP/M cart).

Last night, around midnight, there was a documentary about the evolution
of computer games on ZDF. Often incorrect, very much trying to prove how
everything we use now is the apex of computer evolution, but also quite
interesting.
Among the most interesting pieces displayed was an East-german arcade
game, called "Polyplay". Apparently, there is only one machine left, but
the MAME project seems to be developing emulation support. The games
really didn't seem like much fun, though.
I've been following this list for a little while, and compared to some folks I guess I'm not much of a collector. Honestly, I've never had to give any thought as to whether the joists in my house would support a computer!
But a few weeks back I started cleaning my basement, and I came across some lovingly wrapped circuit boards and stacks of papers and newsletters dating back to my high school days. My old 1802-based Netronics ELF II and the ACE (Association of Computer Experimenters) 1802 system that followed it survived the years; they still run fine. It occurred to me that in the twenty-some years since I built those systems, I've seldom had more fun with a computer.
Meanwhile I'd been looking for an excuse to learn a little about programming for the Palm OS, and a funny idea struck me. The result was TinyELF, an ELF emulator for Palm handhelds.
Naturally, I thought if I released such a thing through PalmGear.com people would have questions, and a website would be a natural way to deal with them. So I threw together a website, http://www.cosmacelf.com
My little idea taught me a bit about the Palm OS, but at this point I've put enough "spare" time and energy into this project to really appreciate my wife's patient good humor. That basement *still* isn't clean! Oh well, judging by the posts on this list, I know I don't have to give a lengthy explanation as to why I did this --- you guys get it.
I'm posting to this list for two reasons. First, while I have some knowledge and literature on the original Popular Electronics ELF, the Netronics ELF II and the RCA VP-111, I know substantially less about RCA's VP 3301, the Quest Electronics (Super?) ELF, the DREAM 6800, the ETI-660 and the Comx 35... all 1802-based machines as I understand. If anyone could give me some accurate summary information of these machines and what made them unique, I'd be quite grateful. If you browse through the History section of cosmacelf.com you'll see that I'm looking for a more complete description of these 1802 micros. I'd also appreciate email if you notice that I've blown any details in my history or left out any links of merit.
Second, I thought that perhaps someone on this list might be interested in playing with the TinyELF emulator itself. It's not nearly as lovely as Bill Richman's ray-traced gem for the desktop, but for the Palm platform I'm fairly happy with it. You can download the emulator for free at http://www.palmgear.com/software/showsoftware.cfm?prodID=13929
Thanks, and enjoy!

For some of us, it actually costs money to d/load this crud, for
instance, where I am (rural remote in Oz for example) there are no
local ISP's, my nearest is an STD call away & they charge $3.79 an hour
for access, so I need to be in & out as quickly as possible. Ax
aresult, I'm very picky about what I subscribe too. I did *not*
subscribe to Classic Computers for this sort of patriotic nationalistic
US rubbish that has developed in this particular thread.

See readme file in the directory for how to convert. Redhat 6.1 binary

Wow, I can't believe that I left off the Mac side
of my collection in my previous message.
-SE/30
-Classic
-Classic II
-IIci w. 40MHx 68040 accelerator
-8100
I have several interesting NB boards, such as LAB-NB from
Natl. Instruments w. Labview 2.11, Rasterops card, DT2255 capture card,
and a few DSP development systems.

I am not sure if this got through; the pop connection
died while sending it the first time.
----------------------------------------------------------
I'll give it a try; I think that this is all that
remains after the "great sell off/giveaway of '2000", which
I had to do in preparation to moving overseas; my collection
was decimated. You'll notice that I tried to keep one
of each thing that interested me.
-Vaxstation 2000 (6MB, 53MB, no monitor, no OS yet; want more memory,
HD and a better understanding of VMS so I can
boot it off the Vaxstation 4000/60)
-Vaxstation 4000/60 (24MB, 1GB, OpenVMS 7.2, GDM16, tkz50, rrd42)
-vt340
-2 x Sparcstation IPX (64MB, 2GB, monitors, Solaris 2.7)
-Sparcstation 5 (144MB, 9.1GB, turbogx, GDM16, Solaris 2.7)
-HP9000/735 (240MB, 20GB FWSCSI, 21" A40xx?, HPUX 10.2)
-HP9000/380 (64MB, 9.1GB scsi w. netbsd, and three 330MB HPIB w. HPUX)
-Decstation 5000/133 (64MB I think, 3 x RZ58 w. netBSD)
-HP85B w. 128K module, HPIB, GPIO, several ROMs
-HP9121B
-2 x HP9114B
-HP9133
-4 x HP71B (these are more of a computer than a calculator).
Got lots of stuff for these, including several each of 128K,
96K, 64K, 32 and 4K RAM modules; Forth/Assembler, Mathpac,
Data acquisition, text editor, surveying, AC analysis, curve fitting,
32K EPROM, and other ROM modules; plus HP82161, HP82164, HP82165, HP82166C,
HP82169, several HP82400, ...)
-HP75C
-HP75D w. 128K pod
-FSI HPIL modem and bar code reader
-HPIB and HPIL versions of 2225 inkjet printer
-Several HP calcs including 41C, 41CV, 67, 48SX....
-166MHz Pentium wintel, 128MB, 24GB SCSI :-( . This machine.
-Bunch of smaller clones (486DX2 66 and below), some w. Linux,
others w. DOS for legacy stuff, such as my HP82321C viper cards,
HP82335 HPIB cards, HP-IL cards and such. Mostly used for
instrumentation. Many of them lack a case and are assembled on demand
on top of a table :-) . And about 150 lb of mainboards, i/o cards,
pwr supplies etc.
I am sure that I'm forgetting stuff...
Then there is the DSP and microcontroller side of my collection, plus
my test gear. I won't list them, but I concentrate on the 68HC11,
68HC16, MCS96, 56000 and TMS320C25.
Carlos.
