Or would that not be hot enough? Put the circuit board on a cookie cooling rack, with a baking sheet to catch the drippings? Of course, there's always a benchgrinder, cut-off wheel on a drill, end-nips, diagonal cutters... Or you could do the slow way of a soldering iron. Personally, I like the idea of cooking it all off over a high flame... 8-) -- --- David A Woyciesjes --- C & IS Support Specialist --- Yale University Press --- (203) 432-0953 --- ICQ # - 905818 Mac OS X 10.1 - Darwin Kernel Version 5 Running since 01/22/2002 without a crash

Can anyone identify this board for a Heath H-89?

Wow.. Anybody want a cluster? 8-) Bill ----- Forwarded message from gstrekel(a)limra.com ----- From: gstrekel(a)limra.com To: mrbill(a)decvax.org Subject: VAX Cluster Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 12:19:34 -0400 Hello, We are powering down our VAX Cluster for the last time on July 1, 2002 and we want to remove if from the computer room as soon as possible after that. Our Cluster consists of a VAX 7710, VAX 6410, MicroVAX 3100/10E and MicroVAX 3100/30. We are using MTI hard and tape drives for storage. All the Digital equipment has been under maintenance contract with Digital for the life of the equipment and all the equipment is in fine working order (but of course). We also have a couple of printers, 3 or 4 monitors, a 19" monitor that uses a mouse, and various documentation. We are located in Windsor, Connecticut, 1 mile from exit 38 on Rt. 91. I have sent out an email offering the system to a group of Connecticut hospitals that may be using similar equipment, but I have no preference of were it goes. (Irrationally, I would like it to go to a good home were it could still be productive). If you have any ideas, please let me know. Thanks, Giles Strekel LIMRA International 300 Day Hill Road Windsor, CT 860-298-3848 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Bill Bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net Austin, TX

Needs to Go: NeXT Color Printer

by jingber＠ix.netcom.com

I have a NeXT Color Printer that I need to get rid of. Appears to have never have been used, as there is no trace of ink in the lines that is present once the printer has initially had ink installed. Good shape overall. I have no ink for this printer, but I believe compatible inks may be available. Also includes the manual and paper bale. Will let go for the cost of shipping (USPS) from 33327 (FT. Lauderdale, FL). Will also trade for a working Apple Profile. LMK, Jeff
