Strange question, how deep are the drawers in punch card cabinets, the tops are pretty much flush with the card aren't they? I'm assuming I couldn't be lucky enough for them to be another 0.25-1 inch deeper.

Hi Sellam,
I quite agree. A pioneer in the microcomputer world who was a hardware
designer establishing standards the industry thrived on into the 80s.

I should have mentioned it's a BA35X-MD box.

Oh. Maybe I should investigate that. Thanks, Jochen. Anyone else
know any more about how it works (connections, etc)? Anyone
desperately need one?

A recent dream come true (no, nothing to do with the opposite sex).
I am, or will shortly be, the proud owner of a Tomy Pyuuta, the original
Japanese release that evolved into the American Tomy Tutor. It's traveling
on the high seas from Hokkaido, Japan as we speak.
Anyone out there have experience with how Japanese computers of that era
(early 1980s) tolerate United States mains voltage, since Japanese voltage
is lower (100V)? Any recommendations, cautions, or concerns?
At least it's NTSC!

I had the pleasure of working at Morrow Designs in 1980 as a board repair
tech (I was 20). I poured over George's schematics and wondered at his
elegance of design. When he came to the shop floor he was always
hyperactive, funny and informative, a genuine treat to be around. He will
be missed.

I have an ADM 5 terminal to get rid of. It's Lear Siegler's successor
to the ADM 3a, and looks very much like an ADM 3A, but has lower case
(with true descenders), cursor keys and function keys. It's very
clean, works well, and comes with the manual. Collect only, though.
If you're interested, make me an offer (small amount).

As part of my clearout, I'm trying to get rid of my "big" UPS. I
mentioned this several months ago on the list, but here it is again:
It's a Powerware Prestige 6000, with two battery boxes, software,
manual, and various cables. Input is rated 200/208/220/230/240V AC at
19A (power factor 0.9) single phase, output is 200/208/220/230/240V AC
at 19A (max 3000W). The battery boxes are each rated 120V DC 50A and
5AH capacity.
Size is about 40cm deep x 25cm wide x 28 cm high for the control box
and
the battery boxes are half the height, so 40 x 25 x 14 each. They all
stack nicely together (in any sensible order).
I have used it, but the batteries (10 x 12V gel batteries in each box)
do need replaced -- none will hold any significant charge/voltage. The
batteries cost about ?7 each. You only need one box, though.
If no-one wants this, it's going in the skip (or at least to
recycling). No, I will not even consider shipping it; collect only.

Chip Directory ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~ganswijk/chipdir/ ) which is
usually infallible came up with this:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ganswijk/chipdir/c/s.htm#smsc
but a cursory search of the SMSC site didn't come up with anything. Try
calling a human there.
