hi all, back on the list after maybe a three year absence - nice to see the list is still going! anyone know of a good place to post adverts for classic stuff? I'm sure it used to be frowned upon on this list, and probably still is; I've checked the FAQ on www.classiccmp.org and it's missing the whole section on list etiquette though, so I'm none the wiser :-) (rather not use loot, ebay etc. unless I have to as I don't want the machine being turned into a coffee table, beer fridge, ashtray etc. etc.!) cheers Jules __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

OT: Shipping a large, heavy crate

by msspcva＠yahoo.com

As promised, the results of my shipment of a large heavy pallet: The package was picked up on time by the shipping company selected from freightquote.com's list of shippers (I took the cheapest). That was Monday this week. Delivery occurred this morning (Wednesday), it was supposed to take 3 business days so they somewhat beat their estimate. They did NOT call the receiving party prior to showing up, but it turned out OK, and everything arrived in one peice. This was a pallet load of 9 track tapes and weighed in at 712 pounds. -- Frank --- Clayton Frank Helvey <msspcva(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > FWIW: > > I'm in the process of using freightquote.com's > service > to do this very thing.

Tandy XENIX Disks

by univac2＠earthlink.net

Does anyone here have the XENIX and/or XENIX Development System disks for a TRS-80 Model 16/6000? I have a Tandy 6000 that I like a lot, and have been playing around with for a few months, but the XENIX installation seems rather spotty. Some command line utilities seem to be missing and the development tools are missing completely. I suppose the previous user did that to conserve disk space. On a related note - If anyone has a TRS-80 Model 12/16/6000 keyboard suffering from keys that have a lack of bounce, removing the keycap and stretching the spring out a little works wonders. -- Owen Robertson

OT: Monitor repair

by pat＠purdueriots.com

I've got a rebadged Sony GDM-20E20 and GDM-20D11 that have some issues and was wondering if anyone had technical information about them. The E20 seems to have HV ok, but doesn't display any picture - but it appears to be powered up ok. The D11 won't switch out of powersave mode. If anyone has any info, reply to me off-list Pat -- "This fucking university has shown time and time again that it is completely fucking incompetent when it comes to employing technology" -- Anonymous http://dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2040637020924.gif

Morrow Radio Mfg Co. Salem, Or. ? and/or Heathkit Technical Applications Bulletins?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Does anyone know anything about this company? Or if it's related to Morrow computers? I found this address on the instruction manual for Morrow convertors. The convertors were super hetrodyne tuners for use for auto radios and would allow the reception of 10-15-20-40-75-80 meter stations. I found this manual in a binder of Heathkit Technical Applications Bulletins dated 1952/1953. I've never even heard of these bulletins before but they look pretty interesting. Does anyone know more about them or when Heathkit stopped printing them? Joe

HP1000 Card Edge Connectors

by glenslick＠hotmail.com

I think the necessary connector is a dual row 48 contact 0.156" spacing card edge connector. I'll have to see if I can find a source. I think some place like http://www.edac.net would let you specify such a connector, but actually buying some in low quantities might be a different story. -Glen >From: "Will Jennings" <xds_sigma7(a)hotmail.com> >Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >Subject: Re: HP 2647A / F Terminal & HP1000 >Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 10:52:43 -0600 > >Closest I ever came to cables was the hacked-off ends as gold scrap : ( > >Will J _________________________________________________________________ Surf the Web without missing calls!

DEC wiring colors and the PDP-8/e PSU

Classic Computer Question

by Huw.Davies＠kerberos.davies.net.au

OK, this is a long shot but with this group, you never know. I'd like to try to identify the first computer I saw "in the flesh" so to speak. This would have been 1965 or 1966 and it was at Keele University (in the UK). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would find this out? I've already tried sending e-mail to the computer centre at Keele a few years ago but didn't get very far. Whatever computer it is has a lot to answer for! Yes, I'm getting old but I was 10 or 11 at the time.... Huw Davies | e-mail: Huw.Davies(a)kerberos.davies.net.au | "If God had wanted soccer played in the | air, the sky would be painted green"
