Nope.. I believe there are 2 or 3 breadbox 64's, 3 flat 128's, a 16, a +4, a Vic20, Monitors, Printers, reu, 1581, piles of disk drives and disks, cables, etc...misc..

I have two cards that have eight of these on each one. A quick search
<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ibm+memory+FRU+70f9973&btnG=Google+Sea
rch> shows that the SIMMs are used on the Artic 960 card and one some IBM
RS 6000s. These are parity SIMMs and look like regular PC SIMMs except
that the notch in the bottom corner is much shorter therefore these won't
fit some/all(?) PCs.

Anyone interested in Apple II and Commodore computers and associated
peripherals? ?I have a sizeable collection that needs a new home. ?Price or
trade is negotiable.. ?I am looking to get a better machine to use as my main
Linux box - somewhere around 500mhz would be great.. ?Other things I am
looking for are Playstation games (especially anything using a lightgun), and
a video camera with a composite output that I can tinker with.
The collection is located in Easton Pennsylvania and my preference would be
*not* to ship it (there is quite a bit). I would rather not break it up
piece by piece either however splitting it up between Apple and Commodore is
not out of the question.

In The Beginning there was nothing, which exploded - Yeah right...
Calculating in binary code is as easy as 01,10,11.
I picked up a portable computer since it had a disk in it that said CPM.
I can't get it to boot but it looks interesting so I thought I'd try to
find ut more about it before I decide to fix or junk it. The computer is
labeled "AEHR Test System ATS-312". It's about 1 foot tall x 1 foot wide x
26 inches deep. It has a keybord that folds down from the front and exposes
two 5 1/4" disk drives and a built in CRT. Inside most of the cards are
marked "Computest Inc Made in USA" but the motherboard is marked "Fox
Motherboard II". A couple of the plug in cards init are marked "64 point
switchboard II" and have 64 pin ribbon cable sockets on the back.
Underneath it has what looks like the CPU card. On it has what I think is
the CPU. It's hard to read but it looks like it says "SGS Z84008B-1". Is
anyone familar with that chip? I can't find any record on it. Does anyone
know anything about the computer itself? AEHR makes test equipment, mainly
for IC wafer testing. I couldn't fin anything out about Fox or Computest.
They're both common names but all the occurances that I cound find were for
unrelated businesses.

Sridhar,
anyway your comment about R5 got me experimenting and I found about the
tertiary_vmb.exe.
R5:0 does not work at all.

But by setting R5:100 and using the TERTIARY_VMB.EXE it works better; and
then TERTIARY_VMB loads NISCS_LOAD.EXE.

Hi there!
The "stereo" jack is not for audio at all -- rather, it is for a pair
of LCD shutter goggles that work in conjunction with certain monitors
to display a stereoscopic 3D image. This functionality is REALLY
common on higher-end video boards (e.g. SGI, Intergraph, etc), and
apparently was used primarily in computer aided chemistry visualization
and things like that.
I don't have a pair of requisite shutter glasses to try the concept,
but it always seemed kind of chintzy to be used in a high-end setup.
Sort of like a pre-HMD semi-immersive sort of display technology,
although it's still around...
Kind regards,
Sean

Today I spotted what looked like programmer's panel. However upon
inspection it turns out that it's a control/test panel for some kind of
disk drive. I've seen several of these before so it must have been a MOL
standard device despite it's decidedly homemade appearance (bright finished
aluminium box about 15" cubed. A sticker inside said that it was made by
Magnetic Peripherals. Is anyone familar with these? What type drives coud
it operate? Is it worth picking up? This one appeared pretty intact, some
key tops were missing but it had the cables still stored inside of it.

Hi,
anybody here knows, if I can use the color option of a /350 in a /380
PRO ?
If not, what is the right one to use there ?
cheers & thanks
P.S. Talking about the CTI boards 001002 & 001403

Woa! Best selling? The copy I have is the only other one

The British import copy of Electric Ladyland says it's stereo,
but it is in fact SQ-encoded; listen to Jimi's guitar swirl
around all four speakers on "And the Gods made Love".
