Note that Win32S is a subset of Win32; Win32S support allows 32-bit interfaces to some of the Win API. It's not the same thing as having a true Win32 OS like 95 or NT. Programs written for Win32 operating systems will requre Odin (odin.netlabs.org) to run under OS/2. Odin is an executable and library translator that basically takes Win API calls and maps them to OS/2 system calls. Odin rocks, mainly because OS/2 and Win32 are so similar in design. :) -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253

This week's find

by tothwolf＠concentric.net

This certainly has to be one of my better finds to date. I'm now the proud owner of 6 brand new i8008 cpus (sorry, not for trade, as I have plans for these.) Finding them the way I did was kinda strange... A couple of days ago, on a whim, I called a local electronics dealer and asked if they had any i8008 chips in stock, and much to my amazement, he had 6 in the parts bin. :) -Toth

Nobody in particular, but I've had luck finding things like that still available from "bulk" media producers. At least one I've seen in the last few months still does 8" (soft sector) disks, too.

The granite ones are genuine PS/2 interface and they work fine on PCs though I've heard rumours that the reverse is not always true. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

The answer is: Mekel 460XL Microfiche scanner

by Antonio.Carlini＠riverstonenet.com

>There are approximately 400 fiche/ft and 100 11x17 images >per fiche or 200 8.5x11 images per fiche. So that's maybe 320,000 US Letter size pages. Assuming 70KB/page, I make that 21GB or 30-ish CD-ROMs (or a mere 5 DVDs, if they're cheaper over there these days). Assuming a scan time of 10s per page, you will need over 37 days of scan time to get all the data (I'm guessing you can run it in unattended mode...) I assume you are going to make this available on a web page or two, I think I can download it all in just about 60 hours. Looks good to me :-) >it. The plan is TIFF with G4 compression which works out >to be half the size of an equivalent PDF and can be converted I think if you PDF stuff that has been G4'd you'll find that the size increase is minimal. Stuff I've scanned comes out of the scanner as PDF but *not* G4 compression, that's why it's a little bigger. >to PDF by the consumer if desired. I haven't found a good >way to convert a PDF back into a TIF... We shall see >how good the process works... I believe that Acrobat 5 can go from PDF to other stuff, but I think we only have V4 kicking around, so I cannot check. No problem - just supply TIFFs and I'll happily turn them into PDFs myslef (just this once, you understand :-) ) Seriously, if this works, I'll dig out my four linear mm of fiche and send them over (always assuming they're not already in your stack).

Huh. _Is_ it > an 8MB SIMM? Sucks that I only have one... It would be odd if all the chips were 4C4001JDJ-7, that's a 1M x 4-bit chip, such as would be used for the parity bits. But yes, it sounds like an 8MB SIMM. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
