Well, consider that it's somewhat specialized (not 'stock'), NOS, and that the asking price is only 100% over what it's worth looks like a milestone to me! > JDR's "house brand" boards were nothing but re-badged major brand > and 'cheap junk' boards.

This Bozo would re-label *everything* (including the manuals). It was embarassing. Jeff ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Slashdot: Senators propose recycling fee on new PCs

by tothwolf＠concentric.net

As seen on Slashdot: Senators propose recycling fee on new PCs: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-843109.html A proposed bill like this one tends to cause me to worry... I've already seen firsthand the mess that the Texas bill that was passed for 'Data Processing Equipment' has caused. -Toth

Multiple floppies in one system?

> 2) Plug all the drives into one control cable and select the drives by > switching a control line on the control cable. This is how I'd go, but the BIOS will only understand units 0 and 1, you'll need a device driver for units 2 & 3. Oh, and you'll need a *real* floppy interface cable, instead of the butchered IBM-style floppy cable that *every* PC I've seen has, except for the Zenith Z-150 family. -dq

Multiple floppies in one system?

by Gary.Messick＠itt.com

Joe, I think I remember using a Videologic DVA-4000. It was used to overlay NTSC video over VGA video. If I remember, you setup a specific color "block" through the VGA, and the NTSC came through that "window." Kinda like my understanding of Chroma-keying (sp?) Another thing it could do was overlay the VGA with "transparent" NTSC. We used it for demos of a ruggedized PC we were building at the time. It could do some impressive (at the time!) stuff. I don't recall the programming particulars, but don't remember it being that difficult. Let me know if you want further info.

Packing materials

In a message dated 2/25/02 12:36:36 PM Pacific Standard Time, gkicomputers(a)yahoo.com writes: > whether it was recycled or not is irrelevent, either > way it would be illegal in USPS eyes and thats the > only thing that, legally speaking anyway, is > i I am not sure I understand you? I use Priority mail and order boxes by the carton. For me to turn a NEW box inside out and use it to ship some other way would be illegal. If my customer who receives a priority mail package, opens it and then reuses the box (by folding it inside out), I don't think they are breaking the law. Most of the Priority mail boxes use a glue to self seal. You then pull a tear strip to open the box. Technically the box is destroyed. However the small video tape size boxes really lend themselves to reuse by turning them inside out and taping them. I suspect this secondary use is not illegal. I call this recycling. Now a friend of mine bought a bunch of new USPS Priority Mail supplies in a lot at an auction. For him to use these inside out would be illegal even though he is not signed up with the Post Office Priority Mail. He was actually after the 26 pallets of new blank cardboard boxes with them which he sold on the secondary market. Paxton Astoria
