Last call on 7" 9 track reel to reel tapes. They are labeled as "Endura 800 BPI to 6250 CPI BASF". All have data on them, none will be erased before shipping. I have 3 cases of 24 left. A case is $8.00 to mail in the USA via Media Mail rate. I had been asking $10.00 for a case plus shipping ($18.00 total for 24 tapes, so less then a buck a tape). If I get no takers, they are going in the trash, so I'm open to offers on their sale price. And for you googlers that are going to see this posting 6 years from now and ask... this is dated 10/10/03, and the tapes will be in the garbage by 10/13/03... so if you are reading too much later than that, don't bother asking, they are already gone. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Box of assorted chips available

by cb＠mythtech.net

I've got two small boxes of assorted chips available. I have NO idea what all they are. They are just random pulls from motherboards and cards and things like that. There may be CPUs, or bios, or cache, or ram, or FPU, or who knows what. Nothing is of the "current" genre, that's why I'm offering them here (almost all should be 486 or earlier era stuff, with lots being 286 era). Not all the chips are in great shape, and none have been carefully handled or packed. They have all just been tosed into two Priority Mail video tape boxes. So pins might be bent or otherwise damaged. If anyone wants them, just cover the postage (plus my buck for gas/paypal). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

5.25" floppies available

by cb＠mythtech.net

I've got a large pile of 5.25" floppies available. These seem to have no resale value on ebay, so I'm offering them here. I've got some that are labeled as HD, some as DD, and a huge pile that are not labeled at all (which I know some are HD and some DD). All the disks are used, and most have labels with writing on them. Some have multiple lables stacked up, some have write protect tabs. Just about all have sleeves (I noticed 3 or 4 while sorting that didn't). Some may get bulk erased before they are sent out, but most will be left in whatever state they are in (if you have some amazing interest in reading market research reports on products from 10 years ago, then this is your chance) If anyone wants some, tell me how many you want, and where you want them sent. All I'm asking for is postage + $1.00. For that price, you can have as many of whatever kind you want (up to the max number I have, which I don't yet know as the pile is still growing). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Help! need 400k/800k Mac os 6 or 7 diskettes!

by cb＠mythtech.net

>Do older external 400k drives work with System 8? I doubt it. I'm pretty sure Apple removed support for 400K disks at the OS level starting with 8. Although I could be wrong. > I find it hard to >swing a dead cat without hitting a pile of external Mac (or Apple II) >disk drives. Are you sure they are 400k drives? The platinum colored ones that were pleantiful and worked with the mac and the IIgs are 800k drives. If you really find an old external beige 400k drive for the Mac, I'd love to have it. I have two that are dead and none that work. I'd like one for one of my 128 Macs. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Posting times

by cheri-post＠web.de

Normally, I get nothing within 3 or 4 days and after that, I get a bunch of 200 emails. As Al says, sometimes the original email of a subject comes in later than lots of answers to it. I've seen this several times now. Pierre > > Anyone else seeing extended times (< 15 minutes or so) before their > posts get to the list?

I'm sick of fighting with my damn e-mailer. What's up with your mailer? The "Reply-to:" header is fine, and there aren't any extraneous headers that should affect replies. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Posting propagation delays

I don't care much > about the data per se, just trying to understand the *algorithm*. My point is that unless you can see *where* the delay is, you won't be able to guess *why*. If a server is busy, it might queue mail up; mail queues are normally run at regular intervals but the size of the interval depends on the sysadmin who set it up (15 minutes is common). If there's a temporary DNS failure, mail might be queued for longer. There are various other things that might delay mail -- on a busy server, set up to use idents, mail from a PC might get delayed long enough to be deferred until the next queue run (and then deferred again, and...) Next time you see a delay, look at the headers in that message (or send them to me -- I tend to delete mail as I read it, so telling me which message, after the event, isn't going to be helpful :-)) -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
