Yes, it's cleanout time again... Some of it is off-topic (not classic enough), so bear with it :-) I will take bids on these items until Thursday midnight, to give international and digest users time to jump in. High bid gets it, and $0.00, as usual, is a valid bid. In the case of multiple winners, I will draw names out of a hat, utilizing the state of the art in Apple II randomizing software :-) Shipping will be from Westminster, MA, USA (ZIP code 01473). Domestic bidders can choose from USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, or Media Mail. International items will be shipped Surface Mail, Air Mail, or Global Priority Mail, at bidders discretion. Hardware was working when pulled, but some have not been tested in a long time, so it is sold as-is...

Info needed on 1702A programmer

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

Hello all, I recently obtained a 1702A EPROM programmer, but it's having some problems. Does anyone have docs or schematics for the following programmer? Tenor Inc, Model 763 Solid State Programmer Other markings: EPROM Loader 763-7-0120, S/N 763 3303 P 1083 See http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1678511077 for pictures. It helps to see the item for the description below... Basically there are 16 switches/LEDs. In Read mode, the LEDs should show the byte values, and in Write mode, the switches select the data, and the LEDs should reflect the data being input. None of the LEDs fire. There is a display for memory location, and it properly resets when "reset" is pressed, and properly increments when "step" is pressed. One other note, the "load" button is supposed to write the data, and advance the memory location display, but the memory location does not advance... I suspect at least the "Read/Write" switch is bad, as it is very mushy feeling, and doesn't seem like it is switching. Perhaps that holds things in some weird state. Standard DPDT, so no big deal to replace. Beyond that, though, I'm at a bit of a loss w/out docs or schematics... Disassembly reveals no blown parts, no smoke marks/burns, and no broken connections.... Thanks! Rich B. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

5.25in. Floppies

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

Is it just me, or is there something not-so-subtly ironic and gratifying about a 450mHz desktop with a working 5.25 floppy drive installed? Not to mention the fact that I "just happened to have" enough new DS/HD floppies (~60) for this entire floopy-based (sic) install? And, am I the only one who forgets just what a PITA it is to handle lots of them? Doc

Going to the dump...

by wh.sudbrink＠verizon.net

Located in Silver Spring, Maryland. Pick-up only, unless you can really convince me to ship (read $$$). Going to the dump tomorrow afternoon (1/23) unless spoken for: 1) TeleVideo Tele-XT. Flakey power supply. Physically OK... all parts present. No software or docs. 2) Heathkit Model IO-4550, 10MHz, Dual-Trace oscilloscope. Physically good, electronically unknown condition. No probes, some docs. 3) Hickok Teaching Systems Model OSK-4 D.C. Wide-Band oscilloscope. This guy is tube (valve) based! Physically OK (a little rust and dirt, missing "DC Bal." knob), electronically unknown condition. Some probes, no docs. 4) A mangy crate, with handle and casters, designed to hold a Teletype Model 33 KSR. Maybe made by Teletype but no markings to that effect. Didn't protect its last occupant very well. 5) A Compaq DeskPro 286e in original box. Good physical shape, unknown operational condition. You may end up with other stuff if you drop by, being unemployed is forcing me to clean up my basement. Please contact me before stopping by.

MCA memory card

by aw288＠osfn.org

I recently pulled a Expanded Memory Adaptor/A card out of a PS/2 model 60 (part number 61X6752). I do not know much about this thing - I have never seen one before. This is not a great suprise - I am not really a PS/2 kind of guy, even though I ought to be. I need to sell this for RCS (we need money), and would like to know *anything* about it, like if it is even worth throwing into the 'bay. William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org

ot... at it again scsi tape drive in windows 95

by rhudson＠cnonline.net

sorry, ot.... Although, this tape drive may be older than 10 years.. :^) I am trying to make a Tandberg TDC 3800 tape drive work with windows 95 (in a 485 machine). The scsi card sees the tape drive and windows finds new hardware but has no driver. I have googled all over and can't seem to find a windows driver for this at all. :^( can anyone help? grovel grover for off topic post.

> Is it just me, or is there something not-so-subtly ironic and >gratifying about a 450mHz desktop with a working 5.25 floppy drive >installed? my 750mhz Athlon has a 3.5/5.25 combo drive in it (both drives in a single half height 5.25 case). I don't think I have used the 5.25 half... but I put it in "just in case". -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
