My bad, forgot to say that you should choose the "inactive hardware product descriptions" box and then type 5322 in the "product number" box... The general search works too, for example type in System/3.. I was amused by the "System/3 Law Enforcement System".. must have been for a pretty small cop shop!

Ampro cards

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I recently picked up two Ampro computer cards. I think they're PC/104 cards but I'm not positive. Your A60707 is the CoreModule XT Plus (CPU card). The other board is the MiniModule FSS, which is Floppy/SCSI/Serial controller. Does anyone have manuals for them? Ampro has a website but there's nothing on there about these cards and Ampro tech support hasn't been any help beyond id'ing the cards. Joe

T&B Ansley IDC connectors

by jingber＠ix.netcom.com

Does anyone know where I can aquire the T&B ansley "light blue" IDC ribbon cable connectors that were used by MITS? Googling reveals that Tyco purchased this line of connectors in 2001, but I can't find any mention of T&B Ansley on their web site. Thanks, Jeff

Check out <<lowendmac.com>> for info on all old Macs - in detail. I don't recall anything other than accelerators, Enet cards and video cards that were made for that slot but I could well be wrong.

I thought DEC learned their lesson with VS II/RC. (Suddenly everyone needed a replacement BA23 backplane...) DEC is still my favourite hardware vendor of all time, but this artificial hobbling of hardware is a real black eye for them. Think about hobbling the (perfectly standard and generic) KA410 SCSI port to only one TK50Z drive, or the "strategic decision" to make VS3100 M76 run only VMS and not Ultrix. (Jumping on my horse again, making Ultrix run on VS3100 M76 would take a screenful of code. I have the source if anyone wants to take a stab.) MS

Looking for : Sharp PC-1405

by liste＠artware.qc.ca

Or equiv (Tandy had them as PC-2 or something, iirc). The goal of my classic collection is to get one of every computer I've programmed over the years. One of the first computers I programmed was a PC-1405 (actually, I can't remember the exact model). I found one of these in a pawn shop. By brother "stole" it. I found another. This was my one classic computer that was helluva useful. So useful I took it with my places. And, well, I've just lost it. I've checked eBay and there are a few Sharp Pocket Computers, but W@W L@@K @ T3H PR1C3Z! Buy it now for "only" 300 USD! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3000156764&category=15030 So, does anyone here have one they don't need and/or would be willing to let go for a reasonable price? -Philip
