IBM 3390 (fwd)

by vcf＠vintage.org

Here's a message I got back regarding the IBM 3390's from someone Dave McGuire referred me to. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 15:31:50 -0500 From: Dan Nunkovich <dan(a)southeasterndata.com> To: vcf(a)vintage.org Subject: Re: IBM 3390 These are old systems, I get these in from time to time but I usually scrap them. I have sold a few of these on ebay but I only received around 150.00 each for them and that was about a year ago. Now I just send them to the recycling centers.

All depends on what you're mixing it with.... ;) Yes, several of us had a full head of steam to do this... I could dedicate a 486 running Linux to it and could have it online from 8am to 5pm daily... as long as someone puts together a step-by-step... (I'm sure I could figure it out but my figuring organ has little spare bandwidth left, and that's dedicated to the Cyber simulator)... -dq

Correction on my calling it a Farallon... the ones I was thinking of are Asante FriendlyNet (may very well be the same that were being offered that started this thread). I caught my error as I was leaving work, and I pulled out one of my spares to take home to play with some of the new computers I picked up this week... I noticed the big ASANTE label and realized... gee... thats not Farallon like I thought it was. Sorry... the description of the design is still the same... just a different maker. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

OT?????? HP200LX case repair

by west＠tseinc.com

Not sure if this is on-topic or not, forgive my indescretion if it isn't on topic.. I have recently rediscovered my HP41C and HP200LX units. The 200LX has a partial crack in the top lid back by the hinge, such that if it cracked all the way through, the top (screen) would only be attached by one side. I want to glue the crack (it gaps when opening the unit) before it breaks all the way through. Is it better to use a superglue or a regular elmers glue? Just don't want to mess it up. I would use superglue, but I have found some situations where superglue doesn't adhere like I would think. Suggestions? Jay West

Just I wouldn't even bother to try getting "elmer's glue" to work on that. Superglue is definitely the way to go, given those choices. In general I find it adheres to that type of plastic perfectly well, but may take longer to set to the point where it's useful. Give it at least 24 hours to be safe. Honestly, it would be overkill, but I'd let it set a few days. Glue both sides if possible, and if there's a way to clamp the work together without damaging the palmtop, do it. You may even be able to remove excess with a metal nail-file.

TRS-80 4D boot/diagnostics floppies

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

Hi. I think I'm gonna snatch a TRS-80 at work. I was going to ask opinions about whether the 4D or the 4P is the better choice, and I guess I am listening, but I think the Desktop is just too cute not to have. I think it's unmodified, with 2 floppies and no peripherals that I've found. Case looks excellent, keyboard is all there and legible. What should I be looking for, both in the way of problems and externals? I know there diagnostics disks or boot floppies available in .dsk format, from playing around with xtrs. Can I reliably wite them to floppy on PC? The FAQ says Tony Duell's utility is "convenient...if you can get it to work". ??? Does that just mean "if the operator has a clue"? Should I just leave the thing on the shelf? And the burning question of the day: But will it run Unix? Doc

OT: telco folks

by mythtech＠Mac.com

>After aggravation with modem connects early in the morning (around 4 or 5am), >I was wondering: it seems like the connections are somehow poorer at that >time -- are the lines lower-quality at off-peak hours? Where do you live? Older telco cable is prone to temperature changes, causing piss poor connections. It could be that your cable or local cabinet is just suffering from cold weather. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Anyone one in NJ care for 2 Asante FN10TA (free)? I bid on 2 EN/SC 10T and they shipped the wrong stuff. They've said I could keep it and I'm hoping they'll find the EN/SC's. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)home.net http://members.home.net/ncherry (Text only) http://linuxha.sourceforge.net/ (SourceForge) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II)
