A home occupation is one carried on in a dwelling as a secondary use, where there are no displays or signs at or upon the premises, no other commodity or services are sold upon the premises and no storage of materials and/or supplies upon those premises except within the dwelling or an enclosed garage. Where storage will take place within an enclosed garage, such storage shall be conducted in such a manner so as not to interfere with the parking of vehicles therein. Any materials and/or supplies which are stored upon the premises shall not occupy a space in excess of 500 cubic feet. Such an occupation shall not: 1. Create light, noise, odor, dust, vibration, fumes or smoke readily discernible at the exterior boundaries of the parcel. 2. Involve the use of mechanical equipment or storage of material and/or supplies on trucks in amounts not recognized as part of reasonable household use. 3. Involve the use of services at the premises of non-occupants of the dwelling in any manner; provided, however, that deliveries made by bona fide delivery firms shall be permitted, as long as such deliveries are in amounts or performed in a manner recognized as part of a reasonable household use. 4. Have the premises or adjacent public right-of-way serve as an assembly point for non-occupants, including serving as a location from which such non-occupants are dispatched to off-site locations. 5. Significantly increase the off-street parking load. 6. Involve the storage or use of flammable substances as defined by the Uniform Fire Code, Section 15.101 et. seq., or hazardous chemicals as defined by the Uniform Fire Code, Section 19.101, et. seq. 7. Involve the sale of firearms or ammunition except to those set forth in California Penal Code Section 12078. Records shall be kept for a minimum of one year on the sales of firearms. Information on these records shall include: a. Date of purchase. b. Name, address, phone number, driver's license number and date of birth of the person buying any firearms. c. Brand name, model number and serial number of firearm purchased. 8. Involve the sale, preparation, or storage of food or food products.

I would make sure all your goodies are clean and reasonably organized, put as much stuff as possible into one 'work area', take some pics, go down to city hall with the letter and ask to speak to a city planner. When I applied for a home business permit, I talked to a planner so I'd guess that Orange would have a similar structure. Explain to them its a hobby and not a business, its not a nusaince activity (except for the trespassing that's occured by your neighbor), and ask them what you should do. >From my experience, building and planning guys are pretty reasonable. >My first reaction is that you don't want to go that route, but rather that >you want to call it your hobby and exercise your freedom to spend your >leisure as you wish. >Do they persecute ham radio operators, satellite dish owners, book lovers, >and plant aficionados too? > >I have a friend who lives in Irvine.

Proteon P4200 and Suminet 3500H/FDDI

by wonko＠tmok.com

hmm, i haven't bothered this list about these yet, this may be a good place. i've gotten absolutely nowhere with these things. friend of mine found docs for the P4200 where he works, so i've pretty much got all the knowledge i need to make it work, sadly i lack an OS. if anyone at all has a copy of the OS for the Proteon P4200 please let me know, this thing is completely useless to me otherwise. i have found absolutely nothing out about the Suminet though. i can't find docs for it, actually i can find very little about this thing on the internet. if anyone has any info whatsoever, please let me know, it's got a serial port that looks like it would be a console, but it only prints the same line over and over (i'd have to hook it up to get a copy of the line) and it's nothing intelligable. any help at all would be great!!! cheers, -brian

SB Systems Z-80 Starter Kit

by KenzieM＠sympatico.ca

I picked up on of these this evening with the manual. I found some mention of a previous discussion on this list regarding these, but couldn't find any conclusions. It doesn't have the S-100 sockets, are these still available? What cards are supported? Does anyone else have one working? I also picked up a modem for a Commodore 64, and RAM expansion and a hyperion and all it's documentation. Collector of Vintage Computers

Storage of computer and parts in the residential area

by jhellige＠earthlink.net

Geez...just when you think you've heard it all. This is taking those neighborhood zoning restrictions a bit too far. Obviously, the neighbor has too much time on their hands.

Overland 9 track

by broth＠heathers.stdio.com

Does anyone have any docs or software on the Overland Data model OD3201 9-track? It has what I beleive a Serial and a Pertec interface. It does 1600 and 3200 BPI. A quick Internet search came up dry. Thanks, Brian.

I would say that good thing there's a place for everyone, but I'll probably never find a mix of weather, economy, and culture I can really live with. For weather, I want winters with three months continual snow cover; I want the economy of the Midwest, were I live, and the culture of New York City. Oh, and proximity to gobs and gobs of Classic Computers... -dq
