Has anyone got a keyboard/mouse combo for the R3000 Indigo they want to
sell or trade? In fact I'd be happy to talk about any R3000/R4000 bits? Its
for a good cause, I want to help out with the linux port....
Mail me off-list if you can help,
TIA

Okay guys, this is from my wife, who works for Hubbell Wiring Devices...

BTW - The reason someone may want IG receptacles in their home is to
protect the ground - you know that computers use the zero ground as the
reference for binary code - well, if you are running your computer and your
wife turns on the vacuum or the blender, the motor load can throw noise onto
the ground - causing your computer to read a 0 as a 1. If you have your
computer plugged into a IG receptacle that is properly installed with it's
own ground wire, the interference caused by the motor load will go out on
the house grounding system with out effecting your PC.

For pick-up:
I've got 10 surplus Wyse60 terminals (kinda complete
and in working order but the screens are a bit burned-in)
I'll propably keep two of them so 8 are aviable
Also got one surplus Computone rs232 concentrator
plus some cabling. I have to check for the ISA-PC
card that comes with it .............
Pickup in The Netherlands, The Hague
I will not be shipping the stuff. Don't have
the experience nor the time..........

The early Bernoulli Boxes use a dc37 connector that, if memory
serves, is a stripped-down SCSI interface..but I could be wrong about
that. The later ones are standard SCSI on standard connectors.

I believe I have a bernoulli interface or two...send me your shipping

It has been my experience over several years that the only problems
with incompatible hardware compression on DDS drives was with the
original generation of DDS and DDS-DC drives, before DDS2. The
type of drive that was retro-named DDS1.

Note that DDS3 drives write DDS2 format when loaded with DDS2 media.
Likewise, DDS2 drives write DDS1 format when loaded with DDS1 media.

"Anything that we don't know what to do with will be sent to China to be

Yep, that's my experience with the Eliant 820. All things
considered, OTOH, it makes a great backup device anyway, holds
7G native on a 160M cartridge, and came for free in a haul of
on topic VAX accessories. :)

That's good to know. I should find a cleaner for it.
