Slightly OT: HP 9000/C160

by pat＠purdueriots.com

I've managed to pick up a memory-less HP C110 that was upgraded to a C160. Looking at Kingston's site, they want way too much for new memory for it. Does anyone have extra memory, or a source for memory? I've also got an HP Apollo 715/50 - is that memory compatible? Thanks for the help! -- Pat

OT: Wanted: Timex Datalink 150S wristwatch

by wh.sudbrink＠verizon.net

To make this sort of on topic, I'm willing to trade some classic hardware (various S-100, old Tandy, old Mac, others...) for one. NOTE: The watch does not have to be working, just in good cosmetic condition. Please email if interested. Thanks, Bill Sudbrink wh.sudbrink(a)verizon.net

An S-100 Power Plug - Please?!

by dwightk.elvey＠amd.com

>From: MTPro(a)aol.com >One more time. Anyone?! Would anyone please have an extra power plug they could sell me for my generic S-100 computer? Somehow mine must have gotten given away with other misc. cords. It's the kind with two sort of oval female prong inputs on the computer end. Anyway, I'd be happy to furnish a picture to anyone who needs to verify. I haven't had it up and running for a couple of years now, and I would like to. Thank you, David > Hi I have an Allied catalog that is a couple of years old. They call these SVT cords. They have several listed: manuf Manuf# Allied# Length Price Alpha 543 663-7082 7'6" 4.62 Belden 17952 612-3569 8' 5.38 Belden 17280 612-3677 7'6" 4.84 Hope this helps Dwight

Don't remember what their sources were. You're not the only one who'd be interested, though. The figure I always heard for total sales of the 4A was 2-3, maybe 4 million. Not sure how accurate that is, as TI had to eat a bunch of returns when they pulled the plug, but it's probably in the ballpark. There are still piles of them around, anyway. jbdigriz

Televideo 912C and General DataComm Gen Net Terminal Server

by fastluck＠email.com

I have a Televideo 912C and a General DataComm Gen Net Terminal Server. I want to make these two machines talk to each other. I think it would be really cool to be able to display a Trek game or something. But I have a couple of problems. First of all, I'm mostly a PC guy. I don't know anything about these machines. Secondly, I don't even think the ports on the back of the Gen Net are RS-232C. If they are, there's a protocol problem or something, because what gets echoed back isn't what I type. (I type several characters before one is echoed, and the echoed character is usually an odd-looking non-character.) I don't know the password on the server, and I don't know how to operate its control keyboard. Here's something else weird--you have to actually remove the front cover to turn it on and off! Here are some pictures of these machines http://mywebpages.comcast net/fastluck1/Televideo.htm. Check out the terminal--it looks really cool. Can anyone give me information on operating these machines, or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, John

They are just what I need for my Electronic Associates TR-20, TR-10 and the ATC-510 flight simulator. I found the Alpha 663-7082 in their catalog on page 385. $4.85 each for 1-24. $4.41 each for 25-up. http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=385.pdf They say "There is a $25.00 minimum on all on-line orders." "Orders that total less than $25.00 may be subject to a handling fee. The amount of the handling fee will be the difference between $25.00 and the total amount of the order." "The shipping cost on any order will be determined at the time of shipment. All shipments are F.O.B Fort Worth, Texas. Shipping method, in most cases, is the customer?s choice."

I have volume 2 of the 1984 databook but it contains a complete index and PN reference and there's no mention of either part in it. Joe
