Anyone know what happened to Jim Willing? I've yet to receive the part
I ordered from the Computer Garage Sale and emails have gone unanswered.

Oops. Forgot the Apples. A serious decision between a highly
loaded A2 Plus, GS with 5.25 and 3.5 floppies, Mac 512 with heavy
upgrade, and Mac IIc that I have affection for.
And then their are the Zines and docs. sighhh. Not easy.

Re: Optical paper tape readers
I have a number of PTR's from industrial controllers (my field).
Smallish Facit units (about 2.5"h x 4"w x 3.5" deep) - late 70's / early 80's model ? Mod 4032 (have circuits diagrams and an interface unit for this, and also a diagram I made to interface to bi-directional PC printer port.)
I also have one or two older Remex units that's a little bit bigger (about 5" x 4"), quite robust - mid / late 70's model. These mounted on a 19"rackmount plate with power supply (240V input) and a pulse generator to simulate step pulses (though this can be bypassed).
and some very modern looking (mid 80's) units from Data Specialties Model R150. These are really cute little units, only about 2.5" all round and weigh nothing. They have a led light source too, so no filament burnout. These have an external interface board about 3" square to link to TTL level and I have pinouts for this.
All units are designed for panel mounting, but you could easily mount them in a small metal or plastic case for bench use. I want to keep some of these, but if you're interested, contact me and we'll see what we can work out.
I'm in 'down under' by the way.
BTW, not sure if anybody has seen the waaaay old Siemens PTR's that didn't use light. Instead they used small wire brushes and contacts underneath - ah the old days! ;o)

Hi Bob,
Do you still have the Power supply from the Aptiva 2168?? How much would you charge? How would you ship? Is it in good condition?
power supply, FRU 06H2973, P/N 06H2971
has 3.3V, and an extra connector, keyed 3 pin with a latch, 22GA black,
white, & red

The 95LX/100LX/200LX have the terminal emulator in the ROM; in fact
the 95LX's usefulness as a portable terminal is why I got interested
in the HP MS-DOS palmtops way back when. But it's been long enough
since I used a 95LX that I don't remember what its is like, other than
the less-than-24x80 screen. The 100LX/200LX have a usable VT100
emulation, and have a serial port that can do hardware flow control
which is a plus.
The 1000CX is a 100LX/200LX that just boots to MS-DOS without the
applications that are built-in to the 100LX/200LX; you'd need to add
an MS-DOS terminal emulator program to that, but then it would sit in
the internal RAMdisk until you let the batteries go flat. Maybe you
would put it on a PCMCIA flash card.
If you want to go the commodity laptop route, I wonder if the easiest
solution wouldn't be a flash device with an IDE connector. Just install
it as the "disk drive" and put FreeDOS and your favorite MS-DOS terminal
emulator. These things do turn up on eBay fairly regularly.

Sorry if this screws up someone's snipe plans... but it was
offered a couple of weeks ago and closed with no bids. It
currently (10:50 am EST) has no bids with 11 hours to go. I
can't imagine that nobody one the list would want this:

I am looking for an old Intel unit, the IUP 200/201 universal prom
programmer, with software, and information how to use. I have the IUP-F87/51
module and userguide, and a folder of the IUP-200/201 but not the programmer
it self.
