Somewhere in my closet - I think - is a TI-59 in need of repair (display
problems, really bad keybounce problems, ni-cads need replacing). It has at
least a 110V adaptor and a 12V adaptor, and *possibly* a spare 110V adaptor
(I think I ordered the spare when the cable on the original got very flaky,
then repaired the cable.) Let me know if this is the closest/best help you
can find.

Oops. I apologise, Ed, I was very imprecise with what I wrote. I meant most
of the description as background to explain why I *might* have a spare 110V
power supply. I'll search for the power supply tonight; if I can find it,
postage to you (Nederlands?) will be all I'll want for it. The rest of the
gear, I still hope to return to service one day. Admittedly I'm not making
very good progress - there are two printers in the queue ahead of it and
they have been there the better part of a year now - but I'd still like to
keep it for now, at least. If I do decide to get rid of it, you get first
dibs.
Sipke, *great* site. I also have some user-documentation-type stuff for the
machine. Let me know if you need scans or whatever.
Anybody know a good source for tabbed AA size ni-cads to replace the ones
in the battery pack?

For grabs: Dec Rainbow Symphony Suite, with 5 1/4 floppies, and a 86/80
CPM disk. Very nice condition. Examine pictures at

This was rescued from a near dumpster experience. It didn't get picked up
by a previously interested individual, I'm offering on here before I
circle file it.
All I ask is you cover shipping costs. I am in Miami, FL. Thanks.

Sellam,
I'm still not sure the DNS/email routing thing got worked out... did
you get the second copy of my original email that I sent?
I had changed my return address...even though they both point
ultimately to the same server, the laidbak address goes through
some fairly heavy spam filtering that kills a lot of legit email. The
ctgonline server isn't quite so locked down.

Can someone on the list help this guy out? His e-mail address is:

>I've just seen a post you made to a forum in '97 about the Heathkit H-89 computer and bootable disks. I have two of these machines (well H-90's) and one original HDOS bootable system diskette (hard sector). Back in 1992 when I acquired these machines, I successfully made hard-sectored disks out of soft-sectored ones by punching the sector holes using the original disk as a template - amazingly this worked fine!

>Anyway - my question is, assuming that you were able to duplicate the disks, do you know anyone who has a bootable CP/M (or any other O/S for that matter) disk that they would be happy to copy for me, as I only have HDOS & Benton Harbor BASIC on my disks! I can supply the floppy disks for this purpose as I have recently found a limited supply of unused hard-sectored disks!

Does anyone know of a multisync display that was in use before 1981?
