http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2036592395 Seller claims it's a "Hardware Service Unit". Looks like a 5161 expansion unit to me. I assume this is something else, since the expansion unit is clearly marked as such on the IBM logo. (?) Jeff

DPE 5000

by pat＠purdueriots.com

I just picked up a Quantel Limited DPE-5000 video switcher. You ask how this relates to computers? The interface box is an LSI-11/02 with 4KW of RAM. Wahoo! Does anyone have more info on this thing? It has an 'interface unit' - the LSI-11/02 in a 2U 19" rack case, 4 Q/Q quad-wide slots, some control boxes, cables, and a big switcher unit that is about 14" tall and 19" wide (might be rack mount using slide rails that I didn't get because they were broken. Any info would be appreciated, thanks! Also, if anyone needs one of these, I might be willing to part with it for a decent amount of money - a bit more than a few tens of dollars. -- Pat

Quad Pentium 133 with 256 MB of RAM? Just how much RAM could that beast take? It'd be quite the conversation piece as a workstation running NetBSD (or something) and XWindows... 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

Lisa 1 Registry (WAS Re: And, the insanity continues)

by jd＠hq.sjaa.com.au

Hi Sellam, Well better count me in for my "frankenlisa" as you previously referred to it. You may remember it was upgraded to a Lisa 2/5 and I subsequently 'downgraded' (?) to a Lisa 1. Had to find the I/O ROM, twiggy drives and cage and the front panel, reconnect the two resisters etc,etc. I even managed to find a complete set of Lisa OS and Office v1 disks. Unfortunately, the Lisa OS disk 1 went bad before I could install the Profile. I now have a new (copied) set on the way. I have got it to boot the Lisa 1 version of BPI accounting though. I've also got a copy of Unix for Lisa 1 but the serialized ROM is causing me trouble. Anyone ever found a technician's video ROM with no serial number? If so I'd love to get a copy! I remember someone contacted me about an application they were writing to take images of twiggy floppies - a flurry of activity at first, then nothing. Anyone else heard from them? Kind regards, Justin Dunlop Melbourne, Australia >The reserve was met at $10,000, which is exactly the value that I would >place on a working Lisa 1 of this caliber, with the accessories included. >I know of around maybe a dozen in existence now (with you having two that >brings the total up :) >I need to start a Lisa 1 registry.

[maybe OT]: WTD: Panasonic KXP4400 RAM upgrade board

by philpem＠dsl.pipex.com

Hi, About a month ago, I bought myself a laser printer. Specifically, a Panasonic KX-P4400 (OK, so it's an LED printer, not a laser, big deal). Unfortunately, the thing only has 1MB of RAM onboard. Panasonic want $400 for a 4MB upgrade board ($100 per megabyte? WHAT?) and Kingston have discontinued their $40 clone. Sooo... Has anyone got a Panasonic "KX-PEM1", "KX-PEM2" or "KX-PEM3" module lying around somewhere? Alternatively, the Kingston Technology equivalents, "KT4400LP/2" or "KT4400LP/4" would be suitable. Anyone got one of these boards they feel like parting with? Printing out schematics on this thing is damn near impossible with only 1MB of RAM... Contact me off-list if you've got one of the aforementioned boards; I wouldn't want to end up pushing the signal-to-noise ratio on Classiccmp any higher :-) Thanks. -- Phil. philpem(a)dsl.pipex.com http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/
