The disk drive used removable disk cartridges, as long as you didn't include the cartridge (which would have to be destroyed) the system can be used for unclassified work, or disposed of. Zane

See following. - don The e-mail based PDF accessibility tools have been updated. You can now submit multiple URLs in a single e-mail message as well as submit PDF files to Adobe as MIME attachments. See below for more details. There are three e-mail options you can use to convert Adobe PDF documents to a format that is more accessible to screen reading software. The e-mail address you use depends on the conversion format you want, plain (ASCII) text or HTML, and whether the PDF is on the Internet or local media. Option 1 If the Adobe? PDF is on the Internet, you can mail the URL (Web address) of the PDF in the body of an e-mail message to pdf2txt(a)adobe.com (for plain text) or to pdf2html(a)adobe.com (for HTML). The convertor will mail back the translation of the PDF file. You can submit multiple URLs in a single e-mail.Tip: Some URLs are very long and cumbersome to type. Cutting and pasting the URL into the mail message will save you some keystrokes. Option 2 If the Adobe PDF is on local media, such as a hard drive, CD-ROM, or internal server, it can be submitted as a MIME attachment to an e-mail message. All converted Adobe PDF documents will be sent back to the sender as MIME attachments. For plain text, mail the attached PDF to pdf2txt(a)adobe.com. For HTML, mail the attached PDF to pdf2html(a)adobe.com. Option 3 A service hosted by Trace Research Center also allows you to convert Adobe PDF documents. You can either mail the URL of the Adobe PDF or attach the Adobe PDF document itself to your e-mail message and send it to pdf2txt(a)sun.trace.wisc.edu (for plain text) or to pdf2html(a)sun.trace.wisc.edu (for HTML). The convertor will mail back the translation of the PDF file.

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

I also posted two more AIM ROM sets, courtesy of Bill Dawson -- Forth and PL/65. Rich ========================== Richard A.

who says great deals can't be had on ebay!

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I was going through the Ebay completed items just out of boredom, and noticed that an HP2748B paper tape reader went for $5.00 back on April 6th. That is one HECK of a deal!!! About a year and a half ago I saw (much to my chagrin, long story) an HP 7900A disc drive in working condition go for about $100 bucks. I missed the 2748B, but wouldn't have bid anyways, I already have two :) Jay West
