The nominal size sold here is 14.5" (and the stuff in boxes I have here measures 14 5/8") including the edges. And that makes sense, because 132 columns is nominally 13.2" (at 10 chars/inch pitch), plus a little for margins, plus 1/2" each side. I have seen listing paper described as 14x11, but it's actually about 14.5" x 11"; I've seen 11 x 15 1/16" (in a catalogue); I don't remember ever seeing anything as wide as 15 7/8". -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

TRS-80 Madness

by pat＠purdueriots.com

To me it looks like just another TRS-80 model 4, with some common software. Which, to me, means that it's worth quite a bit less than what it's going for: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3411037612&category=1247 (For those non-web-inclined, it's at $510 with 3.7 hrs left) Is this just a fluke, or have these things gone up a lot in value since I last looked at them? My guess, is of course, 'just eBay prices,' but even on eBay, I rarely see pricing *that far* off what I'd expect.

Mimic 8080

by kenziem＠sympatico.ca

Does anyone know anything about the mimic 8080? These are the only pictures I've found so far. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1247&item=3411844327… This site ( http://www.bink.org/Portfolio/MIMIC.htm ) give some details about what they did. "when electronics products were specifically designed for their intended functions, and features were typically hardwired, all the MIMICs shared the same underlying, programmable, microprocessor based, mutable system of boards, varied only in their configuration and firmware." But there are no pictures or specs

more goodies?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Spinrite is ALWAYS usefull to have around if you do any work with the older PCs. When scrounging I always take a look at the back of PCs for any unusual PC cards. Frequently I can recover the drivers from the hard drive (if it hasn't been removed) but the drives are frequently is sad shape and Spinrite is great for recovering data.

The very first personal computers - How many are left?

by swtpc6800＠attbi.com

I think of a personal computer as one that was owned by an individual for use in a home. The same computer could also be used in a commercial setting but these computers were often in homes. In 1979 I had about six HP 9825 calculators in my basement. These “calculators” were great computers but they cost many time more than my SWTPC 6800 system did. (I was setting up a contract project so these 9825 were just rented. There was over $100,000 worth of rented equipment in the house.) Even though I had a HP 9825 in my home I don’t think of it as a “personal computer”. ------------------------------- Michael Holley swtpc6800(a)attbi.com www.swtpc.com/mholley -------------------------------

Documation M1000 card reader on ebay

by brian＠quarterbyte.com

Hi folks -- there's a Documation M1000L card reader up for auction on eBay -- Item # 3603141802, title "Documation 1000 Voting Ballot Card Reader." Currently no bids with 9 hours left, $99. I don't know what type of interface the L model has but it's 1000 cards/minute. I have an M200 and an M600 already so if you're looking for a card reader, please buy this and save me from being tempted to get it myself. Brian PS - am writing this from home with Outlook Express, which appears to append HTML even when asked not to, so I apologize in advance for that.
