Damn - I actually paused to think before I typed the Holy Protected Word
And All Its Homonyms, Antonyms, freakin lawyers - backed by Billy's
Billions... maybe DOJ will point Ashcroft at them...
Anyway, I used to use a program for very early DOS machines called
Software Carousel, which basically freeze-dried up to 12 snapshots of the
current TPA and chunked them onto the HD... and assigned each frozen
session to a PF key. So you could switch back and forth between tasks
easily.
Obviously the 'frozen' tasks were just that: there was no backround
processing, they remained suspended until that particular task was brought
back into working memory from the HD.

Got this on a Mac swap list. Since there is mention of more than Macs, I
didn't know if anyone in his area might be interested.
Reply to them, not me.

I'm losing my storage space and need to dispose of a LARGE collection of
early computers and related items, mostly Apple and early Mac. There are
some Kaypros,Amigas,Commodores,Sinclairs,PETs etc. as well as
printers,external drives,cableing,software and books. Compacts from Mac
128 to SE 30, Apple lls, Mac lls some LCs. I don't have a complete
inventory and I really don't want to pick through it for individual
items. There is enough stuff to pack a 14' UHaul solid. Best offer, you
move,located in Hot Springs Arkansas. Great deal for a collector or MUG
that wants to start a museum.
Thanks,
Bill Clemons
PS
99% of this stuff works.

Hi all,
I was given a G848 the other day, and I need some information about what
components are supposed to be on it, so that I can replace the parts that my
friend had cannablized from it. The one I have is a G848L revision, so the
prints of the G848 in the TU56 printset didn't help, as they are for a
G848K.. Basically, either the prints or a a good quality picture would
work.. Also, is this board still used with the TU56? Or is it for something
else?

It only seems fitting that the users of a vintage computers list should
have access to "vintage" chat software for real-time discussions.
Therefore, I am making my VAX based chat software available for use to
anyone on the list.
Although I recently recompiled the software to fix a bug, there has been
virtually no changes to it since 1990 or so, and the bulk of the coding
was done in the mid 80's. This software predates what we all know as the
internet, Instant Messaging, IRC, etc.
If you'd like access, send me an E-mail (bob_lafleur(a)technologist.com)
requesting access. Tell me what you'd like for a login ID. (You will be
able to pick a nickname for use in the software the first time you log
in). I will be happy to create a login for you, and you will choose your
own password the first time you log in. I will send you instructions on
how to connect using telnet.
Happy chatting!
- Bob

And you let them in?! :-)
Lindows guys are welcome at my place to video my Xerox kit :-)

As far as I ever knew, the trademark was for "Microsoft Windows"... But then
again, I can't say I ever truly cared enough to pay much attention.. My
favorite Windows is DECwindows ;p

Ed,
I live is Australia, and have a 120V adapter for the TI-58/59 calc that I do
not need.
If you (or anybody elso on the list would like it, please let me know. (The
postage cost would be minimal (probably $20 Aus).
