Just got a new-in-box Koala touch pad for a C64 - anyone ever use one on a
128D ? I have a 64, 64C, 128 and 128D but I am going to thin the collection
out to tjust the 128D and hopefully I can use this with it and not have to
hang onto the 64 to keep using the pad.
I went scrounging today and found something completely unexpected. An
Intel MDS-800! I got the dual 8" disk drive unit, CPU unit and an ICE-80
pod. Unfortunately there was no sign of the manuals or software for it.
Does anyone have SW or manuals for this thing?

All I know is that Suminet is a Japanese brand of network equipment, and a
3500H is an FDDI DAS (dual-attach) to Ethernet (and possibly Token Ring)
router. I've never seen any Suminet kit, but if you tell us what the
connectors look like, and how many there are, maybe I can tell you what you
have. If some are 15-pin D-connectors, it would help to know whether they
have clips or screws for mounting, and whether they are male or female. As
for the serial port, I'd expect it is indeed a console line, and you've
just got the wrong baud rate. Or it's Japanese!
I still haven't quite got my own FDDI up and running, partly due to a
faulty SAS card in one of my SGIs. If anyone has any surplus FDDI boards
for SGI kit, especially GIO DAS, or any surplus *small* bridges or routers,
I'd be interested to hear from you...

Does anyone know where (if?) there are any sites devoted to the Otrona
Attache? I am asking because I not too long ago picked up one of these great
little machines (I know, lucky me!) & was wondering how large (small?) the
remaining user base is.

I want to get my ASR 35 fixed but I have no idea where to start and also
have no documentation.
The problem is that I only have half of the available characters, so until
the letter K or something everything works fine, but after that it starts
over with the letter A again.
Anybody any idea what the problem might be here ?
yours,
Stefan.
I think they make some water cooled units, the heat is dumped into the water
which is then exhausted as waste. Maybe it could be attached to a garden
hose. Of course water and computers rarely mix well.
I found a pointer to small area water based A/C units

I should have several XY753s somewhere. I'll have to dig for them.
If nobody pipes up and has them on-hand drop me a note.
