That's no fair, your picking all the small ones but you missed

Is US $2.95 reasonable? Jameco sells this ancient IC.

Hi,
gee, in my zealous bargain-hunts I keep being burned. Two bad
CPUs before and now I thought I had a bargain with two UDA50
sets another KFQSA and a DEUNA set. However, as I unpacked
yesterday, I noticed that the KFQSA was missing one socketed
chip (approx 40 pin DIL, black right in the middle.) Also, one
of the UDA50 boards the M7.65 I think is missing a whole set
of 10 or so socketed chips all of equal size on the side.
My hope is that those are ROMs that may not be needed unless
booting from KFQSA or DEUNA is required, but that's a very
remote hope. Can they be replaced? Probably makes no sense.
grrr,
-Gunther

After reading this again, I find myself if the "strangely-shaped felt tip"
is anything like the "strange flavored chicken" I always see on the menus
of oriental restaurants...

My thinking was more along the lines of a Zuse1 being in the TeraZuse
range... The problem is that it would need to have a really strong
curve to make modern windows boxen end up in the fractional AttoZuse
range where they belong. ;)

Well, thanks for the offer. We'll see what happens here. I'm
still hopeful of getting it fixed, and if not, I may be able to
get a replacement locally. I happen to know (from the guy who
runs the place) that the local scrapyard is overrun with these ;)

Ok, I reset the netinfo database -- now as soon as I can
get it to give me a login prompt again instead of kicking
me into the 'me' account at boot I'll be in business there,
but my NeXT b&w laser printer is somewhat cranky.
Having not been used for years, I can see how this might
be...
Here are it's problems:
Paper feed roller doesn't like to work well all the time.
I'm certain that this problem comes from the printer setting
too long, and making an indentation in the rubber on the
roller. Has anyone had success in repairing this kind of
thing?
The printouts have black in the wrong places sometimes;
fused, but -- well, basically it looks like a bad photocopy :)
Sometimes the misplaced ink will have an imprint from another
part of the same page, or from the previous page.
There are also "splotches" of white here and there in the
good printouts where there should be some toner.
I imagine something may be dirty, but not knowing a lot about
laser printers (aside from keep away from the fuser when it's
operating...), I don't' know where to start looking, nor would
I necessarily know how to clean things up if I found the right
spot.
Any ideas?

As the user "me" give yourself a password. You can do this
in the standard Unix way from a terminal window command line,
or with the "Preferences" GUI. Then log out. This will activate
the GUI login window. Now log in as root, and give root a password.

See < http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/Black/Laser/index.html >.
For that matter, look at the whole site, it is full of NeXT information.
Also look around at < http://www.peak.org/~luomat/ >
which is another repository of NeXT information.
