Bradley: Pat's advice about using RJ11 with the tab cut off is workable, but it's probably better to use MMJ if you possibly can. MMJ connectors are easy to find, and DB25 - MMJ adaptors are also easy to find. Then, all that's needed is 6 conductor flat cable, also easy to find, and an MMJ crimper -- not very easy to find, and expensive. I can easily make up MMJ cable(s) for you if you need one or two. I can check my stock of DB25/MMJ adaptors, too. What gender DB25 is needed? (I don't have a 3000 to look at, to make sure.) email me off list -- we can get this one worked out. Don

Looking for small 32000 system

by jmkatcher＠yahoo.com

(Sorry if this is a repeat, but the original didn't appear on the list.) I've been looking for a Symmetric 375 (a rare beast) for sometime without luck and now I'd like to expand my search to other smaller 32000 machines (e.g. Tektronix 63xx/43xx and the lovely Whitechapel MG-1). Anyone looking for a good home for such a machine? Why 32000s? I just like to be different I guess. :) Best regards, Jeffrey Katcher jmkatcher(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Epson manual needed

by rcini＠optonline.net

Hello, all: This is my first post for 2003 so I'd like to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Over the vacation I dug out my Seiko/Epson 486 computer. It's a POS (point-of-sale) computer that I bought from Timeline two years ago and that I sometimes use for simple PC-based data collection projects. It's a really small 486-based machine with 32mb of RAM and a 10g laptop drive. Unfortunately, I can't find the manual now and Espon's Web site doesn't have it. It's model IM-403/IM-405 (mine is the 405 but the models are essentially the same). If anyone has this and can make a copy, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

OT: Solaris 8 on TP 760EL

by dwoyciesjes＠comcast.net

Apologies, I know this isn't really ClassicCMP related, but I'm hopeful that some of the Solaris admins here can help me out... I installed Solaris 8 2/02 on my Thinkpad 760EL. I chose the deafault end-user collection, plus the freeware file compression utilities... Now, when I start it up, or reboot it, the GUI is fine. But when I only logout, though, I get a bunch of vertical lines across the screen. I also get the lines when I select "Remote Login" from the Option menu on the login screen. Seems like something to do with the display manager restarting. I downloaded and added the XF86 packages from Sun (which included 2 patches), but those drivers were no help. I even found and tried a different .xqa driver description. No go. Anybody have any ideas? Feel free to respond to me directly... -- ---Dave Woyciesjes ---ICQ# 905818

Rescuers in Peoria, IL area?

by DSEAGRAV＠toad.xkl.com

Most of the remains of my collection will become available in the next couple days. Known to be up for grabs here is a PDP-11/44 with a blown PSU (but otherwise working), a PDP-11/34A of unknown configuration, miscellaneous DEC paraphernalia, some MicroVAX stuff, and miscellaneous old modem equipment. Basically, I was thrown out of home some time ago, and left a lot of stuff behind as I had nowhere to take it. My mom is sick of waiting for me to take care of the remaining gear and wants it out, now. I have 3 weeks to move it or it goes to the dump. I have nowhere to take it and no foreseeable future for any of it in my possession. For some twisted reason I am taking the KS10 with me - I guess I don't quite want to admit that my career is over. I don't know how I'm getting it here but I'll push it if I have to, dammit. If nobody is in the area to save anything, I can salvage what I can and scrap the remainder. I'll have to visit the garage in the next couple days to see what exactly is left. I can't afford to ship anything anywhere. If you want something and I have it you have to come to Peoria, IL and get it. All of the boards I had have already been destroyed, as was most of the documentation and paperwork. If I don't get a response by the 10th I will assume nobody is available. Hopefully someone else can get a better run with this stuff than I could. -------

In case Sellam or others are still looking for info, I happened to find a pretty good summary of the Model III TRSDOS directory details on Ira Goldklang's www.trs-80.com site. See http://www.trs-80.com/trs80-pd.htm#mod3dir. -- Tim Mann tim(a)tim-mann.org http://www.tim-mann.org/
