My 2? worth: There is often too much off-topic discussion here for me to trawl through. If someone wants a forum to discuss politics or whatever there are many options that do not involve this mailing list. May I suggest: Usenet newsgroups (a HUGE number concerned with politics) Yahoo! groups or equivalent elsewhere Any number of newspapers and TV network web sites Setting up a separate mailing list (majordomo, or whatever) Politics is endlessly fascinating, frustrating, and fractious, but not here *please*! Let's all be happy nerds together. And on that note... I've got a couple of Xerox 1108 (DandeTiger) machines of which I am very fond and for which I would like to find more maintenance information.

HP9100

by jrengdahl＠safeaccess.com

There's an HP 9100B on eBay. I learned to program on a machine just like this. It was the first computer I ever saw. My high school got one in 1971 when I was a senior, and life has never been the same since. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1352137422 -- Jonathan Engdahl Rockwell Automation Principal Research Engineer 1 Allen-Bradley Drive Advanced Technology Mayfield Heights, OH 44124 http://users.safeaccess.com/engdahl jrengdahl at safeaccess dot com "The things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Madge ISA Token NICs

by john_boffemmyer_iv＠boff-net.dhs.org

OK, this is on topic since the technology is over 10 years old, ISA is over ten years old and the cards are more than likely also over ten years old. I am looking for at least one, possibly more, Madge ISA Token Ring NICs - hopefully of the Blue series. Anyone out there know where I could get some? I really don't want to deal with eBay where they are about $8 US plus $6 shipping (kinda excessive per card). -John ---------------------------------------- Founder, Lead Writer, Tech Analyst and Web Designer Boff-Net Technologies http://boff-net.dhs.org/index.html ---------------------------------------

JunkFest! Sneak Peek.

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I just want to remind everyone that's interested about the JunkFest here in Orlando next Friday. We'll meet at Glen's shop (Acme Computers) at 9AM. (Hint, it's getting HOT here early so don't be late!) Contact me if you need directions. I'm still digging stuff out but here's a list of stuff that I've got laid out to bring so far; four heavy cloth bags that appear to be for KayPros, a TRS 4P computer with a stack of manuals, a DATA IO model 19 EPROM programmer (with both Expanded and Extended memory cards) with a GangPak and 2708 personality module, a bunch of Multi-bus cards, SGI Indigo case, (possibly) a HeathKit SweetP plotter, (possibly) early clean IBM PC with 48k RAM & monochrome monitor & keyboard, a couple of PAL programmer modules (303-11A plugin and the Logic Pak) for the DATA IO model 29 programmer, (possibly) a HP 85 with two serial interfaces and three ROMs (plotter, Matrix & IO). If anyone is seriously interested in any of this contact me and make sure that I bring what you want otherwise it may get left behind. Other stuff: Elf stuff & Prelimenary User's manual for the 6809 for Mike, RS-6000 RAM & SCSI docs for Sridhar. Joe

Probably on topic - Free Agfa programmable printer's camera UK

by Lists＠joules.org

Apologies in advance if this is considered off topic, but I think it is about 10 years old and I think it has a microprocessor in it. This is being posted on behalf of a friend. He has an Agfa Repromaster 2200 II Camera which he no longer requires. This must be collected within the next week and was working when last used. If there are no takers then it will be scrapped. -- Regards Pete "Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana"

Floppy Disks

by pat＠purdueriots.com

Does anyone have a good source for new DSDD 5-1/4" floppy disks? I've got a bunch I can probably recycle here, but I'd like to get new ones to use with my Altos, Osbornes and IBM 5150. Thanks -- Pat
