I needed to test the new listserv, anyway . . . I've got a very healthy Timex Sinclair 1500 with rotten keyboard ribbons. Does any one have a dead TS1500 for sale or trade, or the top half of the enclosure, with working keyboard and intact ribbons? Please reply off-list. Glen 0/0

[CCTALK] Car -- not exactly on topic

by csmith＠amdocs.com

Hi guys, I wanted to write an email to the classiccmp list a few days ago asking for some advice on this, but I didn't think it would be very healthy for me given all of the complaining, and just plain nastiness people were showing towards anything even remotely not on topic. As it is, I hope that since this is going to the new list, I won't get too much animosity for asking. Please note that it's my respect for the opinions of the group as a whole that actually prompts me to ask here. So here it is: I know that several of us here have somewhat strange cars, and am looking for some parts, and just general advice to go with a 1989 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. Arguably on topic because it's got very prominent computers, which are more than 10 years old ;) -- but I don't really see many problems with the computer part. Rather, I'm looking for trim, a glove box latch, door handles, that kind of thing. If anyone knows where to get that kind of part, or what else I should check for the sake of the car's health, please email me. I could also use advice on removing small rust spots, cleaning the carpeting, protecting the leather, and anything else that goes with having a car. This will be my first car in quite some time. Thanks, Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '

Alpha 3000/800

by pietstan＠rogers.com

I finally got some time to fire up one of my recent finds... an Alpha 3000/800. I mounted a DSP3107 (1gb scsi) inside the chassis, hooked up the StorageWorks tower/floppy to the onboard SCSI controller, and powered it up. Magically, the VT320 displayed the POST messages, and the machine even found the floppy (dkb100). I proceeded to boot from the NetBSD-Alpha 1.5.1 install floppy, and got to the sysinst menu, when I smelled the ominous presence of escaping magic blue smoke (even though I didn't see any!).. I powered everything off, let it sit for a few minutes while I tried to find the source of the non-smoke. When I powered the 3000 back up, it hung with FD displayed on the LED display, with no output to the VT320... Any ideas as to what might be cooked?? Thanks... Stan
