August was the month for the Hayes Chronograph

by erd_6502＠yahoo.com

Apparently, I shouldn't have left town. Someone here mentioned the Chronograph that went for $39 on eBay during the third week of August. Shortly thereafter, from St. Louis, another one went, with box, for $10.50 after two bids. :-( Foo! -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Anyone want an 11/750 & 11/730 out of New Jersey?

by mythtech＠Mac.com

>Since you don't know what to do with either, here is a little warning, >they're big. I'm going to guess the 11/730 is a 19" rack, and the 11/750 >will be bigger. YIKES... humm... then maybe I don't want them (although, still, if they are going to the dumpster, I would probably play with them for a while before returning them to the dumpster, or passing them on to someone else) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

anyone have a wire disc cartridge rack?

by west＠tseinc.com

Since I've finally gotten my 2000Access system up AND obtained a fair number of 7900/7906 cartridges for it, I was looking for a cartridge rack. The style I'm thinking of is simply thick metal wire/rods, formed into a long tripod affair. This type was typically put on top of the computer rack or on a table, and 7900/7906 media (think RK05 or IBM 2313 cartridges) just got set in each slot on their side. This rack just held the media until use, very much like the wire tabletop mag tape racks. I'm looking for one that holds about 7-10 cartridges or so. If anyone has one of these to part with (or is willing to cut a long one in half and give up half) let me know. Thanks! Jay West

Introductory Electronics Book?

by alan.pearson＠cramer.com

> Chuck McManis wrote: > > > The Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill > > > > Great book, but definitely NOT as an introductory book. I'm not sure that it falls into either category... I bought it recently - it does start off assuming no prior knowledge, so from that point of view it's suitable for beginners. It does however get very "involved" quite early on... to me though this is a good thing, and I wouldn't hesistate in recommending the book to other beginners like myself as long as you're genuinely motiviated enough to want to learn - I had to re-read some sections several times before the mental light clicked on :-) The "eureka" moment in the bath when I finally understood how the NAND transistor circuit worked was too cool for words ;-) The writing style is very clear, they give "real world" examples, sample circuits (both good and bad, to illustrate common gotchas), and cover a huge range of topics. It's a MUST HAVE in my opinion. --al
