Anyone have an Intel iAPX-432 processor chip that they are willing to part with? If so, I would be grateful if you would reply. Thanks Norm Anheier norm.anheier(a)pnl.gov

ADM = ?

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

Well the manual certainly never says what ADM stands for, I can tell you that... As for rarity, I know where there is an ADM-3 or 3A or perhaps another model right now. It's sitting around at a customer, collecting dust. Now give me a Hazeltine 1500, and I'm interested : ) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Some history : DEC VT-180 (Robin), IBM PC (Worm), Apple...

by claudew＠videotron.ca

Hi all. Anybody ever heard about this? I found it amusing... I was told by a longtime local DEC employee that DEC came out with the ROBIN (VT-180) to compete with IBM PC and Apple II. He (and other DEC employees) were told this by DEC top management: "The system we wanna target is the Apple II and IBM is coming out with a new computer (IBM PC) code named WORM because it will eat up the Apple. Well, we are coming out with the computer named ROBIN (VT-180) beacause its gonna eat the WORM that ate the Apple...IBM is a 16 bit machine with almost no software running MSDOS, we will be running Z80 CP/M with thousands of available programs" Hmmm....Now I know where the name Robin came from... BTW if anyone need this, I have the full schematics for the robin somewhere around here... Claude http://computer_collector.tripod.com

That's fer sure! At least here, we're bidding amongst friends; auctions are kinda silly for (relatively) common or inexpensive items, but I think it's a good way for truly unique items to be sold: The seller gets a good price and because we as a community have a better feel for its true value (than your average weenie), the high bid *shouldn't* go out of sight. Besides, it's a *real* auction; not the sniper-ridden travesties that regularly occour on E-PAy. I'm still smarting from the first time I got sniped (and that was over two years ago). Just my $0.02 ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Anybody need any M/A-COM ALANTHUS DATA, Inc. distribution disk?

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

I went scrounging again this morning and found a box of 9 - 8" floppy disks. The disks are original distribution disks for M/A-COM Standard Software 9.1, IWS Initialization, Software Developement and CTOS build. Does anyone need them? If so you can have them for shipping cost AND 1) $10 (my cost) or 2) just return them when yuou're finished with them or 3) replace them with new disks. All of the disks are in like new condition. I don't know what M/A-COM ALANTHUS DATA, Inc. is but 8 of the disks are in sleeves that are marked "Savin IS 2000" if that means anything. joe
