Sridhar,
I have a RS-6000 keyboard that you can use. And I'm in Orlando. My
keyboard was good the last time I used it but that was several years ago.

I have a connundrum. I want to thin out my collection of computer artifacts
and I'm having problems on what to part with. I also could use the money.
Instead, even in the middle of nowhere, far from Toronto where I accumulated
all this stuff, I find it growing. The problem isn't lack of space as it once was,
but simply to have a manageable hobby.
I admit, I'm a packrat, and I transported most of my treasures 2000 mi.
shedding replaceable things like couches, beds and appliances justifying
that in my waning years I could dribble-sell them off to supplement my
pension. (even that huge Dumont tube scope that had been refused as
a gift by a list member, shipping would be ridiculous.)
Plus the idea of a small computer museum (a Toronto one had once been
a justification) in the center of the continent in a totally unexpected
environment had some appeal.
I don't want to go the route of a massive sell-off like several list-members
did, but clearly I have to take control of this addiction. My first fix was
only to have a couple of Ataris to supplement what was already becoming
a fixation. Then home computers, then CP/M, and you all know the downward
spiral. Thenks got, I never got hooked on minis.
I just went thru my collection and each time I contemplated selling
something off I came up with a valid(?) reason not to. My SCO manuals
because they give a good exposition of UNIX and I MIGHT want to
install it on one of my boxes, an old 83 business computing text
cause it had a pic of my prized Micom system, another text from 73
that had pictures of card processing equipment that I once worked on.
Numerous programming how-to's cause I really have to get beyond hardware
hacking, and then things like do I really need 2 Kaypros or the H89 I'm going
to repair some day. And why in-hell do I have "Lex and YACC", Odysys
Development", Computes 1984 "Guide to Adventure Games". Do I really
need most of the PS/2s as well as several PS/1s for my IBM collection ?
You get the picture.
Sure I have things like my Apple IIc LCD display and DRI GEM volume
I could sell off for wanted cash, but I WANT to keep them.
How do YOU limit your collection when you aren't a Sellam, John Keys
and others with warehouse space. Seriously. It must be a problem that
many of you have made a decision on, even when it wasn't your S.O.
giving an ultimatum. Any guidelines ? Be stern.

StarLink: I have one unopened package of StarLink.
Information from the package:
" Introducing StarLink the computer expansion system. The system lets you link four "dumb" terminals or microcomputers to a single IBM Personal Computer, and function as if it's the only terminal connected to the computer."
Features:
- Four operating ports
- Onboard 8088 Microprocessor and 64K RAM
- Concurrent PC=DOS
- Shared Data Files
- Intersystems Communications
I am looking to sell this product. Any interest?

Joe,
Sorry I couldn't make the show.
While I don't have any micromint specific documentation, there's a good
chance I have some of the docs for the STD-BUS computer. Get the numbers off
the cards and I'll see what I have.
The STD BUS supports all kinds of processors. I have seen systems with
processors ranging from a 4004 up to a 486. The most common seem to be Z80
based. What processor is in your system?
The systems fall into two general categories. Dedicated controllers with
task specific operating systems and general purpose computers. If it's a
dedicated system, the OS would be burned in ROM and be of limited use
without reprogramming. If it's a general purpose computer, it would most
likely run CPM or DOS. If it's a CPM based system and you didn't get any
disks, finding a version of CPM that'll run can be a real challenge.
I think you should hand the machine off to someone that specializes in STD
BUS hardware <grin>.
Speaking of Daisy Wheel printers... I prefer to use a daisy wheel for
printing plain text stuff. Currently, I have a DIABLO 630 and am having real
difficulty talking to it. Seems like when I try to print anything, I get
buffer overruns, the wrong chatracters printed, and all kind of other
errors. I have tried every possible combination of comm settings, flow
control, etc... to no avail. Does anyone know where I can find the specs for
setup and handshaking for this printer.
See ya,
SteveRob

Hey.
Along the lines of last week's "specialty" thread, I'm kind of curious
where the various members (including and especially lurkers) live.
Maybe more to the point, where our various machines and parts dumps
reside....
I've managed so far never to touch a database, but this strikes me as
an interesting-enough and simple-enough first project. I'm interested
in listing and correlating several things:
Skillset resources - who knows what, where. For instance, if I had an
Amiga with catweasel hardware and I knew Grumpy ol' Fred lived 30 miles
away, I might just drive out one Saturday, set it up, and learn
something. Or whatever.
Collections. Who has what, where. I travel nationwide (when there's
work to do, that is), and if I know a list-member lives in the area I'll
be in, I might arrange to see their collection, or even do some very
rare face-to-face trading.
Commercial regional and local parts and components resources. Most of
us seem to have pet electronics suppliers in our areas.
Wish lists. Who _wants_ what, where.
What do we do when we're not playing with very old toys? (Yeah, I
know. Look for older toys)
We could do this as an online db, although I doubt that we'd want a
lot of it public.
Comments?
Doc

You're adding another variable. You're adding a disk at *10MHz*. If you
add a narrow disk at *40MHz* then it won't slow down the SCSI bus.

Well, yes and no. Actually this list has been infinitely more
helpful to me in recent months than google. :) ISTR, veronica,
last I used it, was as helpful as google is now, at least. That's
without nearly so much crap to sift through, too.

Hi,
Not quite 10-years old, but...
I've misplaced the software development kit (SDK) for my
OnHandPC (the 16-bit DOS computer on a watch).
www.onhandpc.com apparently died, and the domain is now a porn site
(no, not "digital", as in the recent thread :)
www.matsucom.com apparently also died, and is parked.
Does anyone have a copy? (Basically, Cygnus gcc with header
files and (IIRC) a translation/reformatting program.)
BTW, you can allegedly buy an OnHandPC from "shoplite" at:
http://www.shoplite.com/onhand.htm
for $225.
thanks,
Stan
