wget works well. I've used it under
Win2K and various Unix implementations.

Yes!
Like Jerome's, one or two of my RT-11 systems are SYSGENed for
multi-terminal support. But it's not the same.

I'm in the same predicament... Being unmarried, I haven't
had a significant other to rein me in, so as a result
I live in a 3000 sq. ft. house, most of which is used for
storage. I do manage to keep "paths" clear through each
room, though. When I first bought the house (~10 years ago),
I built an 800 sq ft. garage with the intention of using it as
a workshop. Unfortunately, I filled the garage within
less than a year (from scratch...). What's really frightening
is that when I bought the house, I was really starting
>from zero. My previous (much smaller) home had been
completely destroyed in a house fire (long story concerning
theft, home invasion and arson...), leaving me with
the clothes on my back and little else.
The problem is, I _like_ collecting odball systems. I truely
believe in preserving the history of the development of
computer architectures, and the accompanying enabling
technology, and (except for this group, and 1 or 2 private
computer museums/clubs) perceive of very little actually
being done in the public sector to achieve that goal.
I can't say that I actually specialize (although most of
my systems consist of SGI, Sun and DEC gear). I've always
justified my acquisitions to myself by convincing myself
that I was going to net everything together and use 'em
for software R&D (AI stuff). If I can ever manage to
get a broadband network hookup (another horror story)
the I'd like to begin work on an online systems archive.
I've finally reached the point, however, when I feel
as if I've stepped over an invisible line that separates
the rational from the irrational. I finally feel uncomfortable
in my home, and I am trying to exert some control over myself.
I recently turned down a SparcCenter 2000 (sans CPU boards).
I'm quite proud of that (although I don't know if I would
have been able to resist it if it had been a 2000E with
cpus :-)
My current approach is to try to thin out the mess by packing
the truck up with stuff I know I'll never get around to,
and taking it to a local computer surplus store. No, I'm not
selling it to them... I'm _giving_ it to them. They then
sort out the stuff they want (out of my sight, thank god)
and scrap what they consider useless. In return,
they will often cut me a deal on any items they get that
seem to be interesting.
I'm beginning to believe that the urge to "collect", left
unrestricted, can eventually be just as damaging to an
individual as an uncontrolled urge to gamble or drink.
Perhaps this is just another manifestation of a variant
of obsessive/compulsive disorder...
Or then again, it could be just plain, ole-fashioned fun :)

You know, I hit send too early on this message...
Anyway, the point is, is there any significance to the scribbled
date inside the lid of the Mac II? Can't remember the date exactly...
And why would FWB CD-ROM toolkit report the device name of the
Bernoulli as Beta150? Did Iomega release a testing device to someone?
Lastly, (to Chris, really) I seem to recall that a MacSE/30 (or
Classic) that I had sold to someone had a Radius Full Page Display Card in
it also. Or am I thinking of the Radius Pivot card in my SE/30? BTW, how is
the GatorStar?

Hi,
Yea, I figured that eventually I would just go ahead and
give it a try. Do you have a format and/or write memory
block to disk routine handy? That's what I'm writing now,
along with a simple CBIOS, to get a CP/M boot disk built.
Thanks,
Bill
Well, Dad is cleaning out his basement, and gave me a couple boxes of stuff.
Here's what a quick glance in the boxes shows, so far...
- Hayes SmartModem 1200
- 2 other external modems
- couple smaller HDDs
- some random cables, including a 6" AUI cable (!)
- couple Mac keyboards
- 3.5" and 5.25" disk cases
- 3 older external SCSI CD-ROMs
...and he best scores are...
- Radius full page display
- Iomega Bernoulli 150 external drive and 5 carts...
- Macintosh II, with 800K and FDHD floppy drives, with Radius Mac II Full
Page Display Card, and some docs...
Now to see if it all works...

Due to my upcoming deployment, I regret to inform the group that I must bid
you all another temporary farewell. So, if I am unable to get to another
computer in about a month from now I wanted to let you guys know that I had
a great time & will be back again soon.

I agree, but I read that as "you should only have one or two
complete system references for any given machine."
More than reasonable, since you should only need one ;)
