Picked up six VT420 models today 1-C2; 1-A4; 3-A2's. None tested yet?
On Tuesday I got four VT510's none are tested yet.
Also got a TRS-80 Color Computer MiniDisk and Controller.
If your 486 is a DX, if you have 64Mb RAM, and if you had 20Mb of disk space
to spare (minimum requirements for W98, excepting W98SE), you can load W98
in its "lite" or laptop version from bootable disks. W95's another matter
though -- You'd need a copy of DOS 5.0 or better up and running to load it.
Either way, you'll also need to remember your formatting and partitioning:
98/85 run on FAT16, and are limited to 2GB partitions (98SE allows FAT32,
and can hand 4TB partitions). Is/are your drive(s) compatible?
Cheers!

I wouldn't call you naive, simply misinformed and
combative...
You'll come around once you go out into the real world
and get the data.
This is the best country in the world to live in.
Not perfect. Can't say we don't make mistakes, or
haven't in the past...
We are only human, after all...
But, I think we are doing the Human thing, and the
Nation thing better than any other country out there.
The fact that you like to promulgate left wing lies
and self abusive statements doesn't change the facts,
or reality.
You'd do better to keep your fantasys (disguised as
politics) off this list.
But, there are several lists devoted to Horror and
Fairy Tales that might find your posts in this vein
humorous. I know they gave me a HUGE laugh...
Why do even live in America if you think it's so evil?
Try living in Iraq, Iran, or ANY Muslim country and
check back with me... OK?

As I am the "scanner" of all the docs at mainecoon, I have
the original CD's (and in the mean time some 3 more...)
I could investigate the conversion to PDF, but it is quicker
if Jay tells me what he did.
I might (if sufficient interest from CC) create some webpages
that helps to get to the PDF-part that contains the info you
need. Saves on downloading other parts that are less interesting.
Better filesnames (no spaces, e.g.) would also make life easier.
Ed will have a real fast Internet connection soon, and he has
many Gb's room. We meet several times a year, and Ed already
suggested to host all the data. So ...

More chip dredging revealed an MC6871B - a sort of oddball 1 MHz clock
driver/oscillator for the 6800. Interesting metal and ceramic package.
Anyone interested in this for postage? $2.00 in the U.S.?

Hi,
First off I want to thank all who contributed on using VHS tapes as
storage, I really appreciate your input. Now my problem is with my TI-99\A
home computer. I have noticed that the keyboard is dying. I have been
having to hit the keys harder and harder and now some don't work at all. I
took it apart and the keyboard seems to be one unit (not disassemble-able).
The keycaps don't seem to want to come off either. I was hoping to take the
keys apart and clean the contacts but I don't want to break them, if they
aren't so posed to come off. Does anyone have any experience cleaning these
keyboards? If they are a "toss and replace" component, does anyone know
where I could get one?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hmm. I still use my (Classic ;-) MSKERMIT V3.0 on my PC's, when I need
to, and this always worked fine under NT (4.0), and it works fine, too,
under W2K Pro. Version info is:
