Ah, does that mean I'm not the only person who doesn't like that? It just looks wrong to me, putting some other address against my name, and I'm sure that's part of the cause of so many non-subscriber replies being sent to the list (I'm sure most are meant to go to the original poster). The intent was to prevent address harvesting, but I'd prefer my address was just obfuscated in some way (maybe split up). Wasn't the address-replacing meant to be temporary, until a better way was found to obfuscate the sender address? Actually, I don't care if it's not even obfuscated, but I know others do. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Old but off-topic: Yamaha CS-80 Synth

by jpl15＠panix.com

Right before I go to eBay with this - I know there are a couple or three Musicians here - I have a 1977 Yamaha CS-80 8-voice polyphonic synth for sale. I thought to take a chance on Classiccmp - one never knows... If you know what this is, and you're interested, please contact me off-list for more details. I have the Service Manual for it, which is now made purely of Unobtanium. Hey - it *does* have a special-pupose computer chip in it: the Keyboard Scanner / Note Multiplexer is a very early CMOS mask-programmed "PLA" sort of thingy... so I'm not too far off-base here.

IMSAI 8080

by Mark＠Misty.com

Hi Bob, I have been having regrets about selling my Imsai-8080 a few years ago. Did you ever find a home for yours, or is it still up for sale? Mark -- Mark G. Thomas (Mark(a)Misty.com) voice: 215-591-3695 http://www.misty.com/ http://mail-cleaner.com/

Windows package questions

by cb＠mythtech.net

I've looked around and I can't find my answer, so I'm asking here as I'm hoping a collector will know. I have a box and manual here marked "Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS Operating System Plus Enhanced Tools". I'm trying to determine what version of windows it is. I'd look in the manual, or look at the disks, but the package is still shrink wrapped and I don't want to open it. There is no outer box with version info as this was a "Distribution Only With A New PC" version. The manual is all white, with black text. No logos, no nothing. The only other things on the package are the Cert of Auth card (number 603301052) that has a PN 0-1258 in the bottom corner... and a sticker marking that the package has 3.5 diskettes. I was guessing Win 3.1 and DOS 6.2, but I thought DOS 6.2 only came on 3.5 disks, and so the label would seem redundant. So then I wondered if is was an older version of DOS, and thus maybe an older version of Windows. Like I said, I've searched, but was unable to turn up anything (found one ebay hit that sounds like they are selling the manual, but it doesn't say in the listing what version its for, and there is no pic so I can't compare and be sure). I'm hoping there is someone on the list that might have what I have described and can tell me what version of Windows and DOS is inside. TIA -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Issit Me - or innit - dunno!

Multi-CPU Qbus VAXen

hp 10391b inverse assembler toolkit availability

by najay＠najay.com

last year you posted a link to the 10391b inverse assembler toolkit on HP (agilent)'s website. That link is not longer valid. Would it be possible to get a copy of the files from you, or a valid url/ftp link? I actually bought the disk with my hp1670a years ago but can't find it. Thanks for any help!

PDP-11/34A's, 11/05, PDP-8/I backplane for sale in Northern VA

by wrljet＠yahoo.com

Any interest among the group in a couple of PDP-11/34A machines and one 11/05? The two 11/34A's are in the 10-1/2" boxes. They each have core memory. I think 128K but I'm not sure. Have the calculator keyboard style front panel. Have the printset for the CPU. The 11/05 is the 5-1/4" box. Has core memory, interface card for paper tape reader/punch, and some other stuff. Plus the add-on upgrade core memory in another 5-1/4" box. I think it's 64K words total. Toggle switch front panel. Have the prints on the CPU and some other related documentation. No racks, and no other peripherals. Some UNIBUS cables and a few other random cards. The machines have been out of use for quite some time and are dusty, and I don't know if they work, but it's purely an as-is deal. Additionally, I have a PDP-8/I backplane available. No front panel and no cards. For pickup in person only, near Washington DC. Anybody here want to make me an offer before I put 'em on eBay? Bill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
