found VAXStation 3100 M38 memory

You could plug it into an analog multisync that will do sync-on-green and the proper rate -- if you're not adverse to building an adaptor... Err, wait, that would work if you had color, anyway. I guess if you don't mind a green display, or if the other (red, blue) channels wouldn't be harmed by the sync signal, you'd be fine.

You can also use cerium oxide ( what I prefer to use ). It is a liitle less messy than rouge and slightly faster. Dwight

Intel MDS 800 floppy disks

by lemay＠cs.umn.edu

I have some floppy disks, apparently for an Intel MDS 800 whatever that is. ISIS-III system disk. Also what i'm assuming goes with this, are some CP/M and Quelo 68K assembler software. Any interest? -Lawrence LeMay

[CCTALK] [CCTECH] scanners & circuit boards...

by Lee.Davison＠merlincommunications.com

Any particular grade of rouge? I've got a couple of lenses with minor scratches that would probably benefit from gentle polishing. But the jeweller's catalogue I've just looked in (H.S. Walsh) lists about a dozen polishing compounds, none specifically for glass. Or doesn't it matter too much? Jeweller's rouge is amongst them (and is not too expensive). I don't really know, what I have is in an unmarked tin that was given to me as being 'the stuff I needed' to polish out some scratches on an oscilloscope CRT face. I've used it since to polish out scratches on other glass items. It's probably best to ask a friendly jeweller for advice before you buy.

Finds this week and update on MN Trip

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

Well I got back on Friday evening from my 5 day trip up to MN to pick up some of my stuff still there. We rented a 26 footer from Uhaul but it could not hold everything in one of my 10X20X30 storage units. I had to rent a smaller 5X5X15 unit and leave the stuff there. I'm still unloading the truck (we started late Monday afternoon). I will list some of the good we have found in this load later. I only went out today for about 4 hours and got about 25 different items, but will list only some of them here. 1. hp 2392A terminal - $2 2. Another Mac SE with the factory upgrade HD20 added. - Free 3. IBM 3191 terminal (no key or keyboard) - $2 4. Telecorp Systems Inc. System 606 - $2 5. Radius PrecisionColor Display/20 - Free 6. 2- Apple IIc's no plus's - Both Free 7. Mac Classic - Free 8. Box various cables - Free 9. Sun SPARCstation IPX with a LANCAST ENT-4320 hanging on the rear - $2 10. hp model 715/100 full of memory - $12 11. 3 Atari cartridges, 2 for the 7800 and 1 for the 2600 - 99 cents each That's all I can tell you about the other stuff is too new for the 10 year rule.

DECstation 5000

by pat＠purdueriots.com

I've got a CD labelled: MasPar System Software Release 3.24 for a DS5000-based MP 9200-0010-B7 Does anyone know what this is? I got this out of a RRD40 drive, so I'm guessing it was for a DECstation 5000. -- Pat

Microsoft Word 4.0 academic: MAC

by lemay＠cs.umn.edu

I have some Word 4.0 for macintosh. Academic version, and anyways I'm sure nobody is allowed to transfer a microsoft license... So its up to you to buy a modern version of word and become legal, and then maybe you can use the older version instead. system requirements: 512K memory Two 800K double-sided disk drives or one 800K double-sided drive and a hard disk. Mac 512K enhanced, Plus, SE, or II. System 3.2 or higher finder 5.3 or higher supports the appletalk network. Anyways, feels mildly heavy, must be a book or two in the box. Yeah thats right, I'm not sure what exactly is in there because they still have their original plastic wrap intact... Offer a few dollars plus shipping for my hassles, and i'll mail one or two your way. The rest get tossed. 9 are available. Shipping via USPS only. -Lawrence LeMay lemay(a)cs.umn.edu
