re: google search not finding anything.. "xerox 820" returns http://www.spies.com/~aek/pdf/xerox/820/ as the first entry, which contains all of my scanned documentation. Unfortunately, spies is down right now. Hopefully it will be back up soon.

Pixel Machines

by aek＠apple.com

I worked with one of the main programmers when we were both in Apple ATG. It is a box full of ATT 32C DSPs. It's worth saving. They were very neat devices at the time. The Computer Museum will probably be interested, since I don't think they have one.

Apple 2 HPIB

by kevenm＠reeltapetransfer.com

I aquired an Apple 2 HPIB card from ebay, without documentation. Does anyone know where to find or have a copy of the Apple ][ IEEE-488 Interface Users Guide? You can find a picture of the cover here http://member.nifty.ne.jp/apple2tree/manual/manual6.htm Keven Miller kevenm(a)reeltapetransfer.com

Classic Computer sights in Minneapolis & Chicago?

by bill＠timeguy.com

I'm going to be spending a few days in Minneapolis and then road-tripping down to Chicago for a few more. Anything in particular I don't want to miss in terms of classic computer surplus, museums, robots, etc? Recommendations welcomed and appreciated.

Prior art for multi-resolution computers?

by Antonio.Carlini＠riverstonenet.com

> There is a very old patent, 1982, that Compaq owns that they claim covers Exactly how long do patents last these days? Did it not used to be 17 years (max - assuming the renewal fees were paid)? If so, has it not expired? The IBM patent server should be able to track it down (given a few more details) and (IIRC) it will tell you if it is still in force. Antonio

Amiga 3000 Accelerator or Amiga 4000?

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I've finally found the time to get my Amiga 3000 back up and running. It's a pretty nice machine, though it has an early rev 6.1 Motherboard, I'd upgraded it to 3.1 ROMs, and have it running with the latest rev's of all the chips. I'd also gotten an Ami-Fast board to add 4 4Mb 72-pin SIMMs, instead of using ZIPs, a Hydra 10Base2 Ethernet board, and a Picasso IV video card. It currently has a 2GB HD, and an external 4x CD-ROM. My first new upgrade has been a brand new copy of Amiga OS 3.9 (well worth the $40+S&H). There is one slight problem, WinUAE is considerably faster. As the first paragraph shows, the one thing my system is missing is an Accelerator card. Does anyone happen to have either an Accelerator, or an Amiga 4000 that they'd let go cheap or for trade?

If anyone has the below part, and want's to cough it up to help the US military, let me know. Know this though, it's not my problem, and I'm not too concerned about it. If you have it, you won't be helping me, you will be helping your own military. I read that some of you hate the government, etc., but some of you are also ex-military and might be willing to assist them. I'm not going to release enough information that would make it possible for you to contact them direct, so it will go through me, or it won't go at all. If you're one of the ones that generally spouts about dealer prices and prices on eBay being too high, and feel that you should never pay anyone else very much for anything, you better have a low price yourself, or we're not going to be willing to have any involvement with you. After all, who of you would want to have anything to do with people that say one thing and do another. In Europe OK, shipping costs are not a problem.

What are you, some kind of commie pinko or somethin'? I'm shocked, shocked! >...

Whoa -- now it sounds like you want to act as a choke point on these vitally-needed parts as well. I'm starting to get worried here, chief. >...

Just hold on one darned minute! You don't care if the military gets the parts they need, you insert yourself as gatekeeper to ensure they only get what you want them to get, now you want a low cost so you can add some outrageous uplift and gouge the armed forces as well? For shame! _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
