I flipped a (tetrahedral) coin, and the software goes to Gene (who by coincidence, happened also to be the first to respond). <snip>

SGI Dials & Buttons and no P/S

by hans＠Huebner.ORG

Hi there, I've recently acquired a set of SGI dials and buttons. These are two units: The dialbox has SGI P/N 9980992 and is manufactured by Danaher Controls with Model # DLS80-1022. The buttonbox has SGI P/N 9980991 and is manufactured by Advanced Input Devices with Model # CMN B018B. I have not received any cabling with the units and also I have no power supply. Using google, I could not find any useful information on how these units are expected to be supplied with power. There are some references to SGI boxes which provide for power supply on some serial ports, but these where pretty unspecific and did not reference these exact models. Does anyone reading this have a set of these and can help me with getting the pinout and the expected voltages for the power supply for these units? Thanks in advance, Hans -- finger hans(a)huebner.org for details

Ok, I'll agree that it can and does, since I am unfortunately forced to use it by corporate edict. :( I will argue that it's not "easy" to turn off. "Easy" would be a button that says "don't ever post a message with HTML." There is no such option. It must be turned off as a default, and then still on a per message basis every time you don't want to respond to somebody who's used HTML with another HTML message. So I will agree completely with you if you will replace "easy" with "cumbersome at best."

Copy II Plus Apple ProDos

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I picked up a copy of Central Point Software Copy II Plus ProDOS/DOS Utilities, Version 9 (1989) at my local thrift shop yesterday -- didn't realize it was for Apple at the time. I don't need it, so if anyone wants it, they can have it for $4.00 in the US (what I paid plus shipping); international shipping will be more. It will work on an enhanced IIe, a IIc, or IIGS, all with 128K and 80 column card. Includes 5.25" and 3.5" disks; looks unused. Bob robert_feldman(at)jdedwards(dot)com

Destruction of DEC

by jeff.kaneko＠juno.com

What ought to happen to these asswipes should be what happened to the company I used to work for: The 'aggressor' company purchased a competitor, but by so doing, bit off *way* more than it could chew, incurring hevy debtload and ensuing layoffs. The whole bloody mess will be in bankruptcy court before the year is out. Serves 'em both right . . . .

Handyman specials

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

I have the following junk^H^H^H^H R@RE computers for anyone who wants them. Pick up in Chicago or pay shipping costs. Most are untested and might not work, all are dumpster finds: (in order from largest/heaviest to smallest/lightest) HP Portable Vectra Toshiba 3100e/40 (power light comes on, but does not boot) NEC MultiSpeed EL TI TravelMate 4000M (color LCD, 486 DX4/75, but was found partially disassembled, so most likely does not work) AST PowerExec 3/25SL (no hard drive) Tandon NB386/SX (has loose/cracked hinge, but is the only one with its power brick) Kenitec (no model number; probably XT compatible) I also have an NEC MultiSpin SCSI CR-ROM reader, external. Again, I don't know if any of these work, but if you've ever wanted to tear apart a portable, or play with an LCD screen, they might fit the bill. Bob robert_feldman(at)jdedwards(dot)com

Destruction of DEC

by msell＠ontimesupport.com

It's my opinion that Compaq will be pissed away by HP just as Compaq pissed away DEC. I never really did *love* Compaq, mainly because they are a PC company. They make good PC's, but I hate PC's. The real problem is that several thousand employees are going to get the axe because of a power trip by an HP CEO. I love to see someone who actually believes that the "new" HP will compete with IBM. - Matt At 09:07 AM 3/21/2002 -0500, you wrote: > > The liklihood is that Compaq will be dismantled as a result, and that, in > > itself seems a decent enough reason for the merger. > >Oh well.
