by cmurray＠eagle.ca

Hi all Does anyone know where I can get the Hackers Guide to the Apple II. I know the controversy surrounding the subject but this Guide was mostly directed to the hardware-side of the Apple and permitted one to program it to control gadgets around the house. Many thanks. Murray--

Help with pricing on vintage computers?

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

The "model" (whatever it is) might be correct for market situations where the buyer and seller can negotiate a price, but I doubt that it was designed to cover situations like auctions, especially eBay auctions. My last $0.02 on this subject.

AERCO RAM Upgrade for Atari-ST

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

One of my beloved Classic Computers is an Atari-ST. It's only a 520-ST (512k RAM), so in the heyday... I bought a RAM upgrade to bring it up to 2.5mb of RAM, with the possibility of 4mb... I've lost the manual, and also... The upgrade no longer works at all... Does anyone have the manual for one of these they can send me, or point me to someone who will sell me a RAM upgrade for this unit? I still have instructions to solder chips to get it to 1mb, but I'd prefer to max it out if I can. Also, I'm looking for a SCSI adapter for it, as I have several SCSI drives from 80mb to 1.2gb. I'd like to put one on here to make it more useful. I won a Spectre 128 GCR adapter on eBay a few months ago, so a 4mb (or so) Mac Plus, would be a useful machine to use for Wordprocessing... Or just for play. I'm going to TCF this year and hoping to spot a Color Display for this unit so I can play some of the old games in Color. I have a composite cable that runs to my Amiga Monitor, but the display isn't all that crisp. I have some Tandy Color Computer Stuff for trade (Editor/Assembler for Coco III, Serial to Parallel Adapter, Disk System & Controller, RS-232 Adapter, more...), and possibly some other interesting things, including cash...

OT: paging MAC expert(s) --- What's a Performa

by cb＠mythtech.net

> I have an old macintosh portable I bought in 1995. I have no idea what >it is worth but I love it. I am also not very computer literate. I also >own a macintosh preforma 6360. I now own an imac. Maryann DeMatthews Well, I'm not sure what you are getting at with your email, but the question posed in the subject line was "what's a Performa"... and the simple answer is... a Mac that Apple produced during a time when they thought that different names would increase sales. Performa's were the same Mac's as the LCs, and some Quadra's and PowerMac's. Apple was under the misguided notion that if you complicate the product line by releasing the same computer under 3 different names, you could convince different market segments to buy their version of the computer at their price. LC's were marketed to education and sold at one price, with one software bundle Performa's were marketed to the home user, sold at a different price, and with a different software bundle and Quadra's and PowerMac's were marketed to businesses, at an even more inflated price and with almost no software bundled. Of course, I am SOOO glad that Apple decided to go to the opposite extreme with their product lines, and name everything, no matter how radically different, the exact same thing. Makes it so wonderful to try and figure out what model someone is using over the phone -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

PDP-12 on eBay

I missed the context of this, but that grabbed my attention. Is it actually *at* the Science Museum - or out at Wroughton? I only recently found out that all the large stuff is kept off-site there and can be visited by prior arrangement; I must go for a wander around sometime... cheers Jules __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

International shipping

by Innfogra＠aol.com

I sell all over the world and have no troubles with it, many times the cost of shipping is more than the cost. I almost always use the US Postal System for overseas shipment. They have reliable systems and treat packages much better than UPS. Global Priority mail for items under a kilo is very easy and the USPS will even provide envelopes and boxes for small stuff. The Post Office also has a software program that will allow you to calculate shipping anywhere in the world besides the US. It is the USPS Postal Assistant and you can get it on CD or download it from the USPS. Since the rate charts need regular updating it is easier to use the download. There are interesting differences over the world. For instance Global priority will not work to Italy, only regular air post. These are easy to figure out with the USPS software. The USPS is also very competitive on shipping to other countries. When I do estimates of cost, the USPS always wins over sending by UPS, Airborne or Federal Express. FedEx often comes in second by the way. USPS works internationally, quite well. Paxton Astoria, OR

by steven_nikkel＠ertyu.org

I recovered a couple Dec 3000/300 machines at work, with keyboards and mice and can't find any of the keyboard/mice break out boxes. What do they look like? Or where can I find them inexpensively? -- Steven Nikkel
