Hey, based on what some folks were saying on list earlier in the month, I grabbed a small quantity of RS/6000 cables, which I'm offering for my cost ($2) plus shipping. FRU 74F3135 10-pin ("dual5") plug <-> miniDIN-8 I can't speculate as to what its original purpose might've been, but perhaps some of you might find it useful for your older RS/6000s. ok r.

Packrat genome project questions

Well, the first computer I used was an apple II+, and a IIe after that. I have one of each now, but not the same model. My parents owned a TRS-80 color computer, then a Sperry PC compatible machine, neither of which I have at this point. They also had a "Leading Technology" 386, and a Compaq 486, neither of which I would want, since I have my share of that class of machine. The first computer _I_ ever owned was an AT&T Unix PC, and yes, I still have that. You could say that was my introduction to collecting "classic computers." It was more than 10 years old by the time I got it, and required some work to get it running. It was rescued from the trash. Its name is "Sprite" -- so called after the drink, since its green screen contrasted sharply with all other computers I'd seen recently (at that time). I was just working on it over this last weekend.

You can upgrade the firmware if it's very old, and it does support all the common protocols (lpr, Novell, Applesquawk, ...). Whether the printer/interface supports them all *at the same time* depends on the printer, not the interface. Some printers, like the IIISi, LJ4/4M and most DesignJets are single-protocol and can only be configured to handle one at a time; if you want to use a different protocol you have to reconfigure the printer. Others, like the 4Si and later, and my DeskJet 1600, can handle all at the same time, and switch between them according to what arrives on the interface(s). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Does anyone know anything about the item above? I've seen these before but this is the first one that I've found with the pod and this one seems to work. I've posted a picture at <http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/app-u-sy.jpg> . I know it's big but I wanted to capture as much detail as possible. joe
