I have a Tandon LT/386 laptop here. I really don't think I want it. I've had it for a while, I was given it a number of years ago. I was going to use it to connect to my phone system as a programming station, but I never could get it to connect properly (the phone system is a little picky about what computers it lets connect). And now I have an old 486 laptop serving that duty anyway. According to the label on the back, it is a 16 MHz system, with a 40 MB HDD. There is also a 3.5 HD FDD, a serial port, parallel port, 2 PS/2 ports, VGA, and some kind of expansion slot. Memory test at boot only shows 1024 K of RAM (could be a config issue however, first boot said the config was bad and needed to be reset) I don't know if the battery holds a charge (I seem to recall when it was given to me, I was told it has a brand new battery, but I got it so long ago, I'm not positive, nor can I say if the battery is still any good). I have it plugged in right now to see if it will charge. The HDD is rather loud, and the screen (black and white) is sucky... really sucky. But the thing boots to the HDD (DOS 6.22 is on it right now, along with a few other odds and ends... all internal software, nothing really confidential, so I doubt I will blank it). I might also have the carrying case, and the manual around here somewhere (although if I have the case, I may keep it as I could use an extra laptop bag). If anyone wants the thing, its up for grabs (just cover shipping). Since I'm trying to scrounge up as many pennies as possible (trying to buy a house), if for some bizzare reason I get more than one person that wants it... it will go to whoever gives me the best offer for it (best offer can be trading of stuff... I like Apple/Mac stuff... but I really need money more than I need additional toys). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

by alex＠trdlnk.com

Hi, I've installed ODS 1.0 on a SunOS 4.1.4 box, but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to use it. Did the google thing, but couldn't find much. Any ideas? Thanks. -Alex

DEC 7000 available in exchange for help with big stuff from Boston

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hi, I set a reward of a nice DEC 7000 with 4 CPUs (AXP) and 1.5 GB RAM and SCSI for the one who would come with a truck and get it and --- here is the catch --- bring me my VAX 11/785 (plus more) gear from Boston. I was going to sell the 7000 on ebay to make money to afford the move, but now I figure that a trade in this way would be the more conservative thing to do. Anybody interested? thanks, -Gunther X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 Received: from pop015.verizon.net (pop015pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.172]) by aurora.regenstrief.org (8.12.3/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h2T36aqK012910 for <gunther(a)aurora.regenstrief.org>; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 22:06:37 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from fdebros(a)verizon.net) Received: from fred ([141.154.74.176]) by pop015.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.05.27 201-253-122-126-127-20021220) with ESMTP id <20030329030632.PKIL24156.pop015.verizon.net@fred> for <gunther(a)aurora.regenstrief.org>; Fri, 28 Mar 2003 21:06:32 -0600 From: "Fred deBros" <fdebros(a)verizon.net> To: "'Gunther Schadow'" <gunther(a)aurora.regenstrief.org> Subject: RE: Vaxen vultures on ebay ... and is "rtlacy" here?

Fwd: ..Hi.........Can you help?

Hi, gang, I received the attached E-mail from a math tutor at one of the schools outside Pittsburgh. He needs assistance with some Apple II stuff that I have no familiarity with at all.

by korpela＠ssl.berkeley.edu

For anyone who tried to reach me after about 21:00 PDT last night, we had a little configuration problem here that resulted in bounced mail. Please try again, as most of the items are still available. It looks like the problem is now fixed. Sorry for the bounces. Eric

HP9885 8" floppy unit

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

FYI, there are a couple of pictures of HP 98622 GPIO cards at <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2521082261&category=25400>. The item there isn't a DataComm unit. It's a system expander chassis for an HP 9000 200 or 300 series computer! It has four GPIO cards, three Datacomm cards and one HP-IB card in it. The empty slot at the bottom is supposed to house the interface card that connects it back to a 9000 200 or 300 series computer. Note that the interface cards cover TWO expansion slots even though they only use one slot. It's very possible that there are other cards installed in this chassis but they're covered up and can't be seen. Joe
