Can't locate the TV setup control panel on the Mac TV I got from eBay? It
has OS 7.5.3 loaded on it. I tried Apple's site, google, and others but no
luck as to how I can replace this missing control panel. Any tips? Thanks
A gentleman contacted me the other day about some old computer magazines
that he needs to get rid of. I already had copies of the issues in

All,
I got this message via my web site. If there any interested parties, please contact
Rowen via 'riomac(a)yahoo.com'. BTW, does anybody know what the 'DPM' could be?

Mark,
There should be a model number on the back (most likely) or someplace at any
rate.. Should read VIPxxxx, where xxxx is a 4-digit number.. I believe the
model number will start with a "7", though I can't guarantee that.. I'd love
to buy it from you, I have a Honeywell minicomputer which uses Honeywell
terminals, and I lack terminals. If you reply to me directly, maybe we could
make a deal?

The only thing to watch for, IIRC, is there are a few, odd, parity only
versions of the IIci. I believe the logic board is labeled as such, and
they are pretty rare, so odds are you won't have one. But it might be
worth a quick look at the board to be certain (IIRC, it is labeled
"Parity" near the SIMM slots).
As long as you don't have that odd version, then parity or non parity
will work fine in the IIci (but I recommend you keep them all the same
type)

Most software on the mac is VERY easy to copy from one mac to another. In
many cases, all you need to do is copy the folder the application is in
to the other mac, and you are done. Everything is contained in that one
folder. That is normal Mac behavior.
Some applications have support extensions however. In those cases, you
will need to also locate the appropriate files from the System folder.
(usually in the Extension folder, but depending on the purpose, may be in
the Control Panels folder, or elsewhere in the System folder... ie:
Claris applications make their own folder called "Claris" and stick most
of their support files in there).
If in doubt on what may need to be moved, feel free to ask, I might be
able to tell you if there are any additional files and where to locate
them.

$20 would be ok for ALL of them. The LCII is crippled with crappy hardware
design. IF they are populated with max RAM and bigger hard drives they might
be worth alittle more. Chances are they have maybe 8meg and 40/80meg hard
drives. The IICX has no built in video either.
I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was.. I was laughing about what
Fred said the tombstone would say for someone killed by their 11/70.. My
apologies if you thought I was laughing about that... I agree with you fully
about the danger of hanta virus... Any time you are around rodent excrement,
especially in large quantities, you can't be too careful... That's why I
have thrown out a few items I've gotten over the years; I figured the
potential health hazard to myself was not worth it... A good example would
be the Sinclair ZX-81 I got which was filled with cockroaches! YUCK! What
sort of protection do you think would be adequate for John when he cleans
the VAX? I'd almost want to recommend some kind of serious respirator-type
mask, like the ones used when you do things like paint a car, or work with
fiberglass, etc. But I definetly agree you should, bare minimum, wear a face
mask, and gloves as well...
