I've been digging through my old floppies looking for some *OLD* datafiles,
and I ran across some "Star Fleet Battles" Files from the old SFB GEnie
forum. I vaguely remember that .MAC files were some sort of Graphics file,
but what sort? Does anything modernish read them?

I've never seen an SMS product that was actually Q-Bus. The SMS systems I
used to have had all the I/O on a *big* board that the Q-Bus backplane
connected into. The only Q-Bus boards you had to have were CPU and Memory.

does anyone have Visio Stencils for all the cool old DEC kit? that would be
great. if not, i guess it's time to get to work. ;)

They could be MacPaint, which can be read by PaintShop Pro (shareware),
among other programs.

Up For Grab: Textool/3M 264-5086 64 pin PLCC ZIF-type socket. A few weeks ago someone here was complaining that they couldn't find any PLCC sockets. I found one yesterday and grabbed it. The person that gives me the best story about why they need it can have it. It's soldered to a small circuit and both are mounted on an aluminium plate about 4" x 8". Postage should be minimal.

Hi,
i'm still looking for coprocessor boards for IBM compatibles (AT-BUS and/or PCI) ...
At the moment, i'm specially interested in
- Definicon DSI-32
The last one that i saw was offered on eBay some months ago, but unfortunately, Al Kossow grabed that one :-(
- Z8000 "Trump Card" (Ciarcia)
I never saw an offering for that card. In 1984, when that card was build, i did not have an IBM compatible (and
i didn't have the money to even think to buy that card)
... but i may be interested in any other card ...
I appreciate any hints !
Thanks Bernd
BTW: I'm still looking for documentation/software for my YARC ProTran and Sprinter boards ...

Brian,
I have not loaded any drivers yet. I planned on doing that when I was
more sure of the pointer issue. I figured that I would not be able to tell
if the drivers are working if I do not have a pointer. I have a Win98
machine I can try loading the drivers on. However, still the pointer
question. If I can not find a pointer or info on how to make one soon,
Anyone want a Summasketch+? By the way, long story about the "Internet
Doctor" thing...
Bob
