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. Anyone got a set of blueprints about their person?

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.

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).

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.

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.

Dear Chuck,
I hooked a dec cd42a-rd to my vs3100/76
Correctly it is recognized after >>show dev as dka300, scsi 3 is set on
the scsi box
Then I stuff the netbsdvax iso CD in it, >>>boot dka300 and .... it
stalls on an err 43 and 6 halt
The scsibox is correctly terminated, it is `an original brand new dec
scsi box....
What am I doin wrong?
Fred
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

(hey, i'm back!)
I've got 16 SGI Indigo R3K SIMMs, free if you pay shipping. First come,
first serve...
(for those of you waiting on shipments of drive sleds, etc, I should be
caught up completely this week)

I know of a couple of people that are looking for 1101 memories to go with their 8008s.

Hi. I have a PDP-11 I need to get rid of quickly due to space
