As I kind of figured, you are right. Those other scenarios sound familiar.

I'm pulling what might be them off asimov as I type this.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if this board is supposed to have a crystal or something
plugged into it? It has this little 2-hole socket-type thing on it, but
without looking at others, I cannot tell if there is something that belongs
there... This is part of some variation of the KW8I clock, FYI.

Hi all,
This may be stretching the 10-year rule a bit, but...
I've just bought a nice little 386 motherboard, real small thing, from
one of my friends. Catch is, I thought I had a VGA card, but it's walked.
Soo... Does anyone here have an ISA video card suitable for a 386-based
computer?
I'm also after an ISA-bus network card that can do 10BaseT - a 3com
Etherlink III or something similar would be great.
I'd prefer it if the video card could do at least 640x480x16 colours
(VGA) and 320x200x256c (MCGA), so that kinda limits it to a VGA or SVGA
card. 256k or more RAM. And it must have a standard 15-way VGA high-density
D-sub connector for the video output.
Thanks.

I've turned a lot of drives on their side, upside down, etc etc while working on various computers and I've never had any problem with them.

Spotted this in Melbourne Florida this morning. It's free for the taking. IBM PC-XT with original keyboard (and clear plastic cover) and IBM CGA monitor. It appears to be intact and in good condition. There are a couple of software packages with it but I grabbed the IBM packages (DOS, BASIC and Guide to Operation). It's located at Astro II "http://www.astrotoo.com/" in their free stuff pile. You need to pick up in person.

I just DLd the images and took a look... it was what I remembered. It
should be noted that this was "Hi-Res" and there were versions in
color... if you want to call it that

hehe... yeah, one of my favorite DA's of the time. When feeling stressed,
you just pop it open and watch her wiggle for a moment. A sure way to
lighten the mood.

Well, if you are going to get into the later stuff, I think Virtual
Valerie should be mentioned. It might have actually beaten the spaceship
one to market (but I'm not sure).

I have a couple of more items that are looking for a good home.
1. A Commodore 1530 Datassette Unit (Casette Player), Model C2N-A, S/N
2267772. It is in its original box, but alas, I have no paperwork or manuals
to go with it. I have not tested this item to see if it works but it looks
complete and in good shape and even has a casette in it.
2. A KayPro memory card. It has both a 9 pin and a 25 pin female input
connector. It has no identifying marks except the word "Kaypro" and a S/N of
2046. I can't guarantee anything about this board as I got it in a large box
of mixed boards several years ago. This is not a motherboard.
Please contact me if you are interested. Cost will be postage charges plus $1
for my packaging costs.

...for the near future...
Lost my 'regular' internet link, so until I get something new in place I
can only get to the net about once a day and for a limited amount of time.
So if you are trying to contact me, be patient... I'm out here
(somewhere), just slower than usual...

Umm... EEK!
Did not expect the 'feeding frenzy' that this would start, so a 'bulk'
reply is going out for the moment.
Short form: everyone who inquired about this system is getting this note,
as well as the 'list' ofr anyone else interested... 'First Call' on this
system is going out to the first response received (via a separate
message). Should that person decide not to purchase the system I will
move down the list as needed...
Description: (so I don't have to do this multiple more times) <G>
H-11A chassis and P/S, H-27 dual floppy drive unit, M7270 LSI-11 CPU, 64kb
RAM (don't look like either DEC or Heath, but a nice board), (2) H-11-5
serial I/O, H27 Floppy I/O.
No docs, unless I locate a spare set.
No floppy based software, tho I do have the original paper tape based
Heath software that was distributed with the unit.
(so... if anyone has a copy of 'HT-11' tha tI could get... B^} )
Condition: decent. The 'usual' nick and ding for something of it's age.
Should clean up rather nicely with a little TLC. No signs of notable
'abuse'.
All for now on this topic.
