Will you ship it across the pond?

Be interesting to see what happens with this: Heathkit H-11A
(DEC LSI-11) with no peripherals but lots of manuals and some
software on paper tape and 8" floppy. Hey, the Buy It Now
price is a very reasonable US$6,900! ;^)

Do I need to point out that if I had it, I wouldn't sell it?
No connection to the seller, et cetera...

I was wondering about excess pressure the other day. I thought about a
pressure switch to shut off the motor, but they seem to be quite expensive.
Or am I just looking in the wrong places? Does anyone know where I could
get a pressure switch suitable for about 120 psi, cheaply?

Is it a screw fitting? Take it apart and wind 4"-6" of PTFE tape round it
the male fitting. You can get the tape from any place that sells air
accessories or vacuum pumps, or most plumbers suppliers.

!! RED ALERT !!
If you do not have the drive hardware (and computer),
you *cannot* erase the disk packs without rendering them worthless!
Bulk erase will destroy the data *AND* the servo tracks!
If you do bulk erase the disk packs, you can safely throw
them away because most of us (all?) do not have the equipment
to rewrite the servo track information.
BTW. I would like an other RM03 disk pack. I have got only a few
of those. I hope to spin up my RM03 in a few months; spare
fuses are standing by ...

Hi all,
I've just downloaded three assemblers from the ROM archive at
http://bbc.nvg.org . Catch is, none of them include manuals. I've got copies
of:
VASM65 v2.0E by Vida Rebus
ASM 1.10 by SYSTEM (claims to be the "ASM 6502 Macro assembler V1.10",
"Copyright (C) 1984 SYSTEM"). Contains text strings like "Press play", so
may be a tape->ROM conversion.
ROMAS 3.02 by TBK Associates (full copyright string = "ROMAS 3.02
(C)1985 TBK Associates - S.C."
Has anyone here got any documentation for these assemblers? I'd like to
get at least one of them to assemble *something*. Perhaps a "Hello World"
program?
Also, Vasm outputs Intel Hex files from what I can gather - does anyone
here have an Intel Hex -> Binary converter for the BBC Micro?
Finally, does anyone know how some discs were formatted so they were
compatible with 40-track and 80-track disc drives?
Thanks.

Does anyone have a VAX running VMS connected via ethernet to a Cisco 2950
series switch? I have had the VAX connected to a 2900XL series switch for a
year with no problem, but in doing upgrades, moving it to the 2950 has
caused major character delays, and other problems between the VAX and
clients connecting to it. Everything else connected to the switch is working
fine.
Thanks

If you want the flexibility of a "hotmail" ((I do, and I have it), but don't
want all the animated ads, get a bundle pack like Norton Internet Security.
I don't work for 'em, and I've only recently started using the package, but
it has a WONDERFUL ad-ware blocker that leaves your viewed web page intact,
while simply screening the ad location (turning it black or transparent). I
paid $29.95 for my copy, including a 1-year subscription to NAV's virus
updates, on the website: NextAisle.
Also, there's a couple of freebie packages available on C|Net's
Download.com: "Adware," whick you can use to clean your system and registry
of cached ad files, and "Pop-up Stopper," which does exactly what it says it
does. Both occationally leave you with WIndows Message Service error
messages (Of course! Your Adware thinks its broken if it can't cover your
screen with its ad!), but these are background, and much easier to dump than
the ads themselves.

Hello everybody, this is something I've been wondering about for some time
now. Perhaps here is the place to ask, since it's about one of the "inner
secrets of silicon":

If in fact the same die was used in both components, then it's only the
plastic (which is impenetrable to the commonly-used ultra-violet light) that
prevents the OTP variant from being erased and reprogrammed.
However, there are kinds of radiation similar to light which *will*
penetrate the plastic housing...you see where this goes? Will the memory be erased
when you, say, X-ray the OTP component, will it stay unaffected, or is the
thing just going to die?
(just outta curiosity)
