Hi Bill.
I have scanned some Field Maintenance Print Sets.
I have done them in 600 dpi. When I print the file
to ledger (or A3 here in Europe) the copy sometimes
turns out better than the original.
- white paper
- high contrast b/w
- at 600 dpi, the pin numbers of the IC's are clear to read
I must agree that downloading these files is a bit of a pain in ...
But many of these scans fit on a single CD-ROM.
So, perhaps some sort of distribution scheme can be started?
I do not have the disk space accessable to the Internet to host
all these files, and found Chris Kennedy so kind to do that for me.
You may link to them from decdocs.org as far as that concerns me,
but if many downloads start, perhaps Chris is less happy with the
bandwidth? Anyway, this is the URL:
http://www.mainecoon.com/classiccmp
success with the big task you are to embark on,
Henk.

Hi everybody,
one of my dad's colleagues presented him with a Sharp PC-4600 Laptop and now
it's my task to get it into "usable" condition. This covers several items:
1. Making the thing mains independent
There was no accu pack inside the box when we got it. It starts up all right
when powered by a wall socket PSU of the recommended voltage (9 V DC), but
for portable use it'd have to have its own power source. What rating should
the cell pack have? Can I still get an original one or do I have to build my
own from several cells?
2. Providing mass storage
The computer is equipped with two 720k 3.5" disk drives. Is it possible to
upgrade to a 1.44MB drive and/or to install a hard disk? Where would the
latter one connect? (There are several unused connectors inside and I've also seen
a solder type jumper with the letters FDD/HDD on the PCB, so there should be
a way...)
3. Getting the keyboard to work properly
There is a keyboard problem. One key press ends up with two characters being
entered (always the same for each key), as there are:
key cap results
german without with
german driver
Esc 8\ 8\
F6 ^Z ^Z
F7 ^@ ^@
1 91 91
2 02 02
3 -3 ?3
4 =4 ?4
5 <del> 5 <del> 5
6 <tab> 6 <tab> 6
7 q7 q7
8 8\ 8\
9 91 91
0 02 02
? -3 ?3
? =4 ?4
<del> <del> 5 <del> 5
<tab> <tab> 6 <tab> 6
q q7 q7
I've already unplugged and reseated the keyboard connector. Anybody already
encountered and successfully repaired this?
The machine has the german QWERTZ keyboard layout so I've also tried
installing a german MSDOS keyboard driver, but when it's installed, from the first
keypress on as long as nothing is being entered, the machine continuously
produces short beeps (about 2/sec) which get on your nerves in very short time.
Is there a (perhaps Sharp-specific) driver that will not cause this problem?
I hope than somebody out there can help me. Many thanx in advance
Arno Kletzander
P.S. I'm on the digest only, so answers will take about one day...

I have a Compaq Portable 386...
Classically speaking... what is best to do in the cases below?
1)I am running dos 6.12, but I am thinking about re-installing with
DOS 4 or DOS 5.
Or more generally is it better to use a circa operating system or a modern operating system (Assuming the machine will run both) ?
2) The machine came with a 5 1/4" diskette drive, I am considering replacing that with a 3 and a whatever" drive, or once again more generally when one has an older machine is it good to upgrade the hardware to make it more usefull.
I suppose on my single machine no one cares really, the "historical Police" will not appear at my doorstep.
Let us extend the argument, Given a running PDP/11, what of the person who installs a current day 60GB disk drive and DVD CD ROM?
Curious in San Jose.
BTW I have two of these portables and recently offered one in trade for a part, I am also willing to sell for cheap.

I am. I sent a question about what type of hard drives you were interested
in,
but never got a response.

i prefer those IBM black 50pin scsi drives although anything comparable is
fine. 1-2G capacity is acceptable.

Hi Folks,
I gather nobody's interested in saving one of these pretty smart 80186 based
machines? I certainly haven't got room for 3 of 'em......

I was having an important conversation with Will, but he seems to have
disappeared from the net. Does anyone on the list know his status?
Thanks.

Check out http://www.brodart.com Pretty sure what you want is there,
possibly cat # 40415001 (or -002, -003, -004), Brodart Acid-Free Bind-Art
Adhesive. You may do better to just request a catalog, the website is a bit
unwieldy.

Does anyone need a DECrepeater 90C? I have one that
I'll give to anyone for the price of shipping. There
is no power supply, and I don't know if it works, and
I don't even know what it does, but my best guess is
it is for linking together thinwire network devices.
