Ya, like a broken core sense wire!
For the times I don't have an extension card, I solder some
wires to points I expect to measure and tape them to a strip
of wood that I lay on top of the machine. It is slow but
works OK. It wouldn't work on a real fast machine because
of reflections of unterminated lines but these older machines
are not all that troublesome with one foot or so of wire.

I agree. I have both an extender card and a scope, fortunately,
and have been using them extensively!

The problem was, since my machine does not come with the parity
option installed, there are a few empty slots in the otherwise
unbroken string of handles touching each other...I still am
annoyed for doing it to myself though ;)
Now to fix the core memory.

since it's doing nothing. If it had flaky bits or words or pages,
different story, but absolutely dead can only be a few things.

Is there a NeXT archive or museum anywhere? I have a few documents that
are historically interesting (one is a receipt for the very last
magneto-optical cartridges that Canon had in stock) and would like them
to go to a suitable home, if there is such a place.

Hi
EPA might complain. Super nova 1997A has been spewing
out a lot of radio active waste. Since this is part of
it, shipping may also be an issue.

Anyone out there have the Apple CD-ROM Driver 5.3.1 that they might
be willing to email my way? I just recently picked up a Toshiba XM-
520 SCSI CD-ROM drive in hopes of being able to use it with both my
Apple IIGS and my Performa 405. I've been told that the GS (equipped
as it is with a RAMFast SCSI Card) should handle it fine; but since
the Performa is running System 7.5, I need the Apple CD-ROM Driver
5.3.1 from System 7.6 to be able to use non-Apple CD-ROM drives.

Hmm...
Now we're guessing between a cash register, a palmtop computer, a Tandy
computer, a telephone, a jazzy car, or a spiral galaxy... I s'pose maybe
his asking price will determine which it is....? Should I bet on the
galaxy?
Cheers!

Actually, I guess I wasn't clear: I don't need the physical ROMs, just the
contents. If someone could Email them to me, that would be fine.

If you go to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112379 you'll see the 6360 is a 603e running at 160MHz. It'll also tell you about what configuration it shipped in, max ram, etc.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS:
Maryann;
The portable should have a model number somewhere. That could give me some
info as to processor and speed. Need that first.
The "Performa" line was an attempt by Apple to sell through non-traditional
stores like Sears and such. It was super easy to buy. It came preconfigured
and was sold as a total package including mon. and printer.
I believe the 6360 may be a "Power PC" and faster than the older Macs. It
may also have remote infrared capabilities. You could see that in the small
red window on the front.
I am glad that you stuck with Mac an got an iMac.
Wanna sell the 6360???

yeah, that's it. Without any discs or being able to find anyone who knew
anything about it I'm afraid mine got put in storage. I believe I've got the
original polystyrene packaging for it, but no discs or outer box or anything
(go figure)
I've got some other BBC add-on in the same style housing as the ARM unit, but
can't remember what it is now. It wasn't the teletext unit unfortunately, as
that could have been interesting to play about with.

excellent :-)
I never got into the networking side of things with them (I've got all the
fileserver/network for the RM Link machines which I believe were the schools
alternative to having BBCs in the UK)
Slowly picked up a few BBCs and assortments, plus I've got a Master somewhere
that's fairly well modified from original spec (and an Acorn Cambridge
Workstation which still needs a suitable hard drive and the OS discs to format
it)
Interesting machines as far as old 8-bitters go!

I've got some sort of machine of theirs, housed in a shell a little bigger than
an IBM XT, plus the guts of a second one - but I don't know if it's just some
sort of XT clone. Uses an XT-style keyboard anyway and output was CGA
compatible if I remember right. I certainly never got it to boot with any
version of DOS I had though (from DOS 2.0 upward) - best I got was a 'missing
operating system' one time.
I seem to remember this machine is way more complex than the innards of an XT
though, with about 1.5x the board space and a lot of ULA chips on board.
I'm sure Ferranti produced much better machines than glorified IBM clones
though, if that's what this is :-)
cheers
Jules
