Does anybody know the part or catalog no. for a battery for a GRiDCase 3 Laptop battery? I just this week got one of these old gems, & would just love to use it on the road. By the way, anybody know where I can find a GRiD-OS ROM for this thing? -- David Vohs netsurfer_x1(a)fastmailbox.net -- http://fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own

I'm looking for a book for my HP 5036A microprocessor lab, "Practical Microprocessors" textbook (H.P. part no. 05036-90003). If anyone has a source for one of these, please contact me off list. I already have a source for one for $100 US and can't afford it... Thanks, Stuart Johnson

THE source on the web for the lowdown on any of these old Macs is <<lowendmac.com>> The Mac II (2) is a 16 mhz machine with a Motorola 68020 processor and was the first color-capable Mac. The LCIII (3) runs a 16 or 25 mhz 68LC040 (no FPU as part of the CPU); I don't recall what the Performa 400 contains. The difference between the Performa and "standard" versions of some of these older machines has more to do with how they were sold and what software was bundled (sometimes a slightly different version of the OS, too) but otherwise not much. All have internal SCSI drives. The Mac II has a port for a second (external) floppy. These machines can run up to MacOS 7.6.1 but are quicker and more at home with 7.5.3 or even 6.0.8, which is quite speedy on even machines as slow as these. Do you plan to display them, actually use 'em or what? I have a slew of parts and old drives and whatnot for these machines - the drive's usually what goes on them. By the way: check the motherboard battery to make sure it's live (3.6v lithium). They'll boot w/o a live battery but will lose their time and certain other settings. Seth Lewin

Back in the game

by erd_6502＠yahoo.com

After a *very* brief unemployment, I started at a new job today - as an OpenVMS Administrator, if you can believe it. One of the more surprising moments during the interview process was when I was mentioning that I had a VAX 8200 and a DEC 4000 in my basement, and the boss said, "of course you do - all you VMS guys run that stuff at home." I've gotten lots of milage from running older/smaller version of Sun/DEC/etc boxes, but I'd never run across someone in an interview who *expected* it. Now back to the side of the table with money, but no time... -ethan

slightly newer Apple stuff...

by julesrichardsonuk＠yahoo.co.uk

hi all, I've just found someone local who's dumping a few Apple bits and pieces - a Macintosh 2, LC3 and a Performa 400, plus a couple of monitors and stylewriters. I said yes to them as I just fancy playing around with a bit of Apple stuff. They all work apparently but I don't know what cables etc. they have with them. Can anyone tell me anything about them or point me to any good Apple websites that will? Not sure if they make the ten year mark or not (pretty certain at least the performa won't!) so sorry for the bandwidth... I've got a few II's and a /// with a couple of profiles, and used LC's before but otherwise my apple knowledge is non-existant. I don't really have the space for them so they'll probably be up for grabs in a few weeks time... :-) cheers Jules Everything you'll ever need on one web page >from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts http://uk.my.yahoo.com

Model 100 DVI drive

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

Hello, all: Does anyone know if the specs on the Model 100 Disk-Video Interface is the same as the CoCo disks? I have a single-drive DVI and a single low-profile CoCo disk drive. They physically look to be the same but I wanted to be sure before I lashed them together. Thanks. Rich ========================== Richard A.

Well... eight 'arrow' keys (I think, I'm not in front of it at the moment) with the 'usual' up, down, left, right... then diagonal (???) keys, and some have the legend 'roll' on them as well... > There would also be "NEXT PAGE" and "PREV PAGE" keys that let you > page through the buffer.

I think it has its proper keyboard, but it has no numeric pad.
