Looking for a Heathkit H-8 LED Display Cover

by mranalog＠attbi.com

Nick Miller wrote: > but it is missing the red LED display cover. Does anyone > know where I might find one? In case you don't find someone that is sitting on a pile of H-8 display covers.... Why not get creative? I can send you a scan of the display cover. Go down to TAP Plastic and have them cut a piece of plastic for you and polish the edges. Using a color printer, there about a half dozen ways to apply the lettering to the plastic, >from using a overhead transparency to creating your own decals. Mounting the display cover can range from hot meld glue to custom made "ears". --Doug ========================================= Doug Coward @ home in Poulsbo, WA Analog Computer Online Museum and History Center http://dcoward.best.vwh.net/analog =========================================

apple llc computer

by cb＠mythtech.net

>I have several apple II+ computers, several disk drives, a lot of >software and accessories. I'm always on the lookout for an inexpensive SCSI card or hard drive for the Apple II (any model II is fine, I know they were most common on the IIgs). I'm also on the lookout (again, inexpensive) for an AppleCat modem (just so I can finally have one, then call a friend that eons ago promised me he would share some software with me... but ONLY via modem, and he insisted that since he had an AppleCat, I had to have one too... just gotta get one and then bust his chops about it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

An original Compaq "portable"

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

The keyboard used with an XT is different than that used with an AT and above. -----Original Message----- From: Ron Hudson [mailto:rhudson@cnonline.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 8:32 AM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: An original Compaq "portable" > The most difficult part was finding an AT compatible keyboard that > fits the case.

An original Compaq "portable"

by JOHNSOY＠aol.com

I want to thank you for your answer concerning the Compaq Portable. It has all the manuals and it is in mint condition. It has about 75 disks that were in the box. It has the original books entitled Basic Version Reference Guide.(3) It has the Silver Logo on the case so it is one of the first made. They later upgraded them to a "plus" model which has the Gold Logo. I am really impressed with the condition. It also works. I ran across it at a consignment shop and it needed a home. I am not sure what I am going to do with it. Thanks again, YVONNE Y

diversi-dial for apple IIe

by livewire＠netadel.com

This is a longshot. But has anyone got Bill Bashams Diversi Dial for the Apple IIe? I've been searching for this for a few years, and have come up completely empty. The people who have it want to keep it for nostalgia (understandable). I would actually be connecting the Ddial to a terminal server box (bsd or linux) and run the chat system live on a IIe. I guess I'll have to find the serial cards too ;) Thanks!

Programmable Calculators?

by amcgee＠freeshell.org

Hi Folks, I'm new to the list, and yes, I found my way via the SlashDot posting. Question: Do you include programmable calculators or PDAs under the label of "classic computers?" What about game machines? If this is in the FAQ, just tell me to RTFM. Thanks.

Hi, today I'm lucky to add another card to my (little) coprocessor card collection ... ... a YARC Sprinter card, which includes an AMD 29000 processor. As for most of my other cards, this one doesn't include any documentation or software :-( I do not expect to get any information from Yarc Systems/Trevor Marshall, as i got no aswers for my requests regardning my Yarc transputer card ... Can someone on the list help me ? Thanks Bernd Bernd Kopriva Phone: ++49-7195-179452 Weilerstr. 24 E-Mail: bernd(a)kopriva.de D-71397 Leutenbach Germany

ADM-3A lower case modifications - another thought?

by c.morris＠townsqr.com

I was wondering if anyone has used an FPGA or similar programmable device as a replacement for the unobtainable lower-case 2513 character generator in the ADM-3A terminal. I am trying to avoid fabricating an adapter board to use a 27xx EPROM since the pinouts are quite different. Since the only unusual pin on the 2513 is the GND on 10 (and 12 is not used) I would like to just be able to jumper the board pin 12 to ground and plug in a 24 pin device with programmable I/O pins to match the 2513 address lines and data outputs. Does anyone know which device would be the most suitable? thanks Charles
