Ordinarily I would be willing to do this, but my life is all but
falling apart at the seams right now and I'm afraid I just don't have
the cycles. I'm sorry, man..

Anyone interested in some RA90s? I have eight available for pickup
in Laurel, MD. I also have a pair of RA81s in a short rack. Email me
off-list to arrange pickup. First come (well, first email), first
served.

It does indeed exist. I don't have it here, but I have run it.
A thorough knowledge of C and friends willing to give you stolen
copies of the source code is far better than any support Sun has ever
offered. ;)

A local auction has a 4000 DPI drum scanner. Good enough to
scan uFiche? By my calculations that would give 100-150 DPI,
probably good enough for text, but a little weak for graphics....
Comments?

PS I'm going to bid on the fiche set on Ebay ;)
I hadn't been to the Indy hamfest since the late 80's, so went
Saturday to see what's new. In some ways, not much. There
were still some of the same private vendors as years ago still
selling the same stuff.
As expected there was more computers and less radio stuff, but that's
ok. I did notice that there were around 25-30 various Mac's for sale
by individuals. Don't recall prices on these.
I did notice that some things were not bargins. One vendor wanted more
for current memory (128mb, 168 pin DIMM) than what I paid recently
at Office Max. Another wanted $20 for a spindle of CD blanks, got
the same thing recently for $5, again at Office Max. I guess it
pays to stay current on local prices.
There was one commercial vendor who had apparently bought out a mess
of stuff from a store going out buisness or some such. Most of it
was like the stuff you would find in a Kmart electronics department.
All of this stuff was in blister packs, in boxes on several tables,
every item for 50 cents. Among the goodies I found were a couple
of IBM PC printer cables & an IBM PC keyboard extension cable. The
rest was more general like stereo cables & adapters and cable TV stuff.
Rummaged through a large bin of CD-ROMs and came away with Microsoft
Office 97 Pro and the SR-2 Patch for it, both CD-ROMs for a $1 each.
Found a book on FileMaker Pro 2.1 for 20 cents, then later bought the
entire software package (still shrink-wrapped) for $1.
All in all, a good days haul, and saw some old friends from the days
I was more active in amatuer radio. May have to make an effort to
visit more hamfests in the future.

Cannabis and the hop plant are so closely related, you can
graft the roots of one to the stem of the other.

You can use a wildcard "Army*" then it will find anything starting with
army and it will ask if you want to load it.
Or if your know the where the program starts on the tape, you can just forward
to that place and instead of writing the name simply type * , then will
load the first program it finds and afterwards it will prompt for what name
to save it under. Remember if you runs copy190 with ABC turbo drive 8 will become
unit 9 instead.

Mike, you've seen more than I have, but based on my experience, I'd say
the the most common ones are the Dayna and the Asante ones. The rarest
would seem to be the Cabletron (the only one only one with a publised
API) and the Kinetics.
Personally, I'd love to find a Kinetics one just to test a theory that
it is command compatible with the Cabletron.
As for why not use an internal SE/30 card? Probably the best reason is
if you've already got the Xceed video card. :-)

Well, depending on the configuration, the Indigo2 (which I'm assuming
you're
talking about) can be worth a little or a lot, as someone indicated
earlier,
which means around $100 to $1000 on eBay, and around $250 to $1500 from
a
reseller.
The system was available with a myriad of processor options (R4x00,
R8000,
R10000) and video cards (XL,XZ,Elan,Extreme,SI,HI,MI), which are the two
factors that primarily affect the price of the computer.
Things that increase price:
* High-clocked R4400 (200, 250 MHz) or R10000 processor.
* IMPACT-ready (purple chassis with SolidImpact, HighImpact, or
MaxImpact)
* TRAM upgrade installed if system is IMPACT-ready
* Internal CD-ROM installed on sled
* Large drives and lots of RAM
Things that tend to be cheaper:
* Lower-clocked R4000, R4600 (100, 133, 150 MHz)
* R8000 chip (I think it's a diamond in the rough, 75 MHz)
* Non-IMPACT systems (teal chassis with XL, XZ, Elan, or Extreme)
* Stripped of RAM and hard disk, no sleds.
* Damaged plastics (expensive to replace!)
I've got two Indigo2 machines, personally, an R8000/75 and an R4400/250,
both
with Extreme graphics, and they run wonderfully with IRIX 6.2 and are
more than
capable of doing anything that I need them to do. They do tend to have a
little bit higher resale value than, say, a Sun or a DEC, but, IMHO, a
SGI of a given vintage tends to be a little bit more usable as a
WORKSTATION than a Sun or a
DEC of similar vintage (no flames, please!) :) That said, I'd take a DEC
or a
Sun as a SERVER over a SGI in most cases.
Best of luck with it!
