>How do you have a url if it isn't listed yet? I've >never heard of a delayed listing. When selling stuff on ebay, you have the option of setting your start date/time to something other than right now. It costs more to do this, but it is an option. So like Jeffrey's post said, the auction starts at 6pm PDT Wednesday. So I would assume the link will become valid as of that time (it would be nice if ebay gave you a slightly better message than just Invalid Item so you know you are looking at a not yet valid item as opposed to a totally incorrect listing ID) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

DEC Modules F/A at SYI

by marvin＠rain.org

I've just listed some M series modules and a Quad Extender Board over at Sellyouritem.com. The URL for the classic computer stuff is at: http://www.sellyouritem.com/ListAuctions.html?CategoryID=1497 These are set for a three day auction to give listmembers a chance at them. I plan on listing about a dozen+ items a day, so it might be worthwhile to check over there occassionally. We've had some discussion about First Come/First Serve, and that basically means whoever lives at their computer has the best shot at anything offered to the list. I think this might be a fairer way of doing things without giving the whole world a chance at stuff. SYI has *NO* listing fees, and FVFs are slightly less than on Ebay. My feeling is that a three day auction gives everyone on the list a chance to look at the stuff, and bid if they are interested. ------------------------------------------- ebaY's Security Breach and Coverup http://www.auctionguild.com/generic110.html

The Great Auction (Leaving the Hobby)

by jss＠subatomix.com

As promised, the bulk of my collection will be up for bidding in less than 24 hours. For an interesting twist, I have decided to sell my collection in one large lot instead of several medium-sized lots. This will hopefully maximize both convenience and entertainment. Remember, I'm also accepting items in lieu of cash. The auction kicks off today (Wednesday) at 6PM PDT (1AM GMT). I wish all contestants a safe, enjoyable bidding experience. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2732905006 -- Jeffrey Sharp

IBM 8560

by cb＠mythtech.net

Any value to an IBM 8560? Or more correctly, is it something that someone on the list might be interested in. Its a full height tower 286 IBM ps/2 machine. There is at least one hard drive in it, and I think I have a 2nd for it (not sure the sizes, 20 or 40 MB I think). Last I knew it booted and worked fine. I've had it kicking around for some time, and its taking up space. I think it weighs about 40 lbs, so figure on 50 lbs packed for an estimate, shipped from 07450... anyone want it? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

LA 120

by marks＠techprecision.com.au

Hi there I saw your post as a result of my search criteria in google, i am chasing any and all documentation on DEC LA 120 and any other relevant PDP material. I have just secured a position with a company that supports this type of hardware, and am having difficulty wrapping my mind around the sheer immensity of the equipment. So any help would be very much appreciated, as i search and search for any documentation. :) Best regards Mark Setter

Things are more exposed and excessable. Most of the newer machines one has today are not even as repairable( motherboard fails, swap out motherboard! ). Dwight

IIfx memory

by teoz＠neo.rr.com

Anybody know where to get memory (4mb simm or better) for a mac IIfx cheap or have some they dont want. I think its 64 pin proprietary memory (also used in a specific mac printer cant recall). Its funny how apple makes proprietary memory for only 1 specific model computer (how is that cost effective?), just like the memory upgrade for my apple 4/600 PS laser (one of a kind).
