I need a new 6502 for my Commodore 8032 (see posts passim); and it looks
like there's a couple of options available, both CMOS and at a variety of
speeds from 1-6MHz.
However, both DIL variants are available in in plastic or ceramic carriers
- what is the advantage/disadvantage of either of those?
Hey Group --
Recently a post apperaed here wherein someone was wanting to give away a VAX
11/750.
Since I like free stuff :>) but have no experience outside of microcomputers,
I did a Google search, and this looks like an interesting machine, and a good
intro to minis for a micro person. Especially appealing is the number of
operating systems which it will run, and the variety of programming languages
available for it.
I have a spare room at the shop, so space is not a problem. I'd like to save
this machine, but I have a couple of questions:
It looks ablout 3.5 feet tall, and the specs put it at 180+ kilograms. How
can it weigh that much? What's in it, lead? (yes, I know solder has lead in
it , , ,)
How much does the tape unit weigh? Another 180 kilos??
What is the total power consumption for the 11/750 and the tape unit?
Am I crazy for wanting to rescue this critter, since I don't know the first
thing about it? I'll probably break my back moving it and spend the next 10
years learning how to use it and collecting disability benefits at the same
time.
TIA,
Glen

You know, this sounds like a really fun contest to run at the VCF. "Guess

Gentleman,
If any of you have a waste stream of HFE 7100 I would like to purchase the dirty material from you. I will buy anywhere from 1-100 drums at this point in time.

In other (shorter) words, if you're really good at it, people will
pay you well for (re)making obsolete parts... :-)

Hello all,
I finally went through all of the Apple II stuff from that school (I still
have to test the TRS-80 stuff).
Rather than go through some long drawn out auction process, everything has a
fixed price. I figured this would be easier on you, and especially on me
:-)
All prices are in US $, and you also pay shipping. I accept PayPal, or
Money Order.
I live in Westminster, MA, USA. My zip code for shipping estimates is
01473. I ship EXCLUSIVELY by US Postal Service. Please do NOT ask for
another carrier. I live in a somewhat rural area, and UPS, FedEx, etc., are
1/2-hour in each direction from me. The post office is 3 minutes :-)
I will gladly ship internationally, but of course, shipping may be
expensive. Also, you will need to pay by international money order or
PayPal, in US $.
Also, if there are more takers than I have of a particular item, I will put
names in a hat and draw them out. This is the most fair way to do it,
especially for those who get the digest.
I will accept orders until 08:00 USA eastern time Thursday, August 30th.
Soon after that, I will notify people of what they got.
PLEASE include a ZIP code in your order. Not your whole address, just a ZIP
code, so I can estimate shipping.
Here we go:

Don't recall this ever coming up before. I don't need to do it with anything now, but might in the future so thought I'd solicit any ideas from the listmembers.
For small plastic parts, say - switches and actuators and the like - that get broken or are missing from systems or peripherals. Is it within the realm of the home hobbiest to forge duplicate parts? For example - a switch on a DEC PC04 where you have 3 switches but are missing one. Can it easily be done to make a casting of the part in some kind of clay, then work with dyes to get the color right and pour in a plastic or resin and thus create another identical switch?
I'm sure there's a lot of side issues that come up. Some parts need to be hard, some ever so slightly flexible. Others need to be a solid material, and still others would need to be somewhat opaque to let light shine through. I'm thinking of like front panel switches or light covers.
Anyone ever try this route or is it silly to even attempt non-professionally?
