Hi All,
Does anyone have a suggestion as to a color monitor to use with old HP 9000
300 series machines?
The important number is the line rate of 25 kHz. Most modern multi-sync
models only start at 30 KHz so won't sync on to these older machines.
Cheers
Peter Brown

Clear DayJust picked up for pocket change at a yard sale: a Gravis Phoenix
joystick/game pad combo (SN: 4794, Made in Canada, FCC ID: HYN1010A). Its old
enough that it has, aside from the normal DB-15 game port adapter, a split
unversal adapter for an AT or PS/2 keyboard port. The adapter is unique, I
think, in the fact that it appears fully reversable to work with either. I
plan to test it on my PC, but I wondered if anyone could point me in the
direction of schematics, user manuals, drivers or installation packages. Any
assist greatly appreciated...
Cheers!

Fry's Sunnyvale location has moved twice. The first was on the other
side of Lawrence, approximately behind Coco's. It was as Al said, the
sort of place you could go for ICs, connectors, Amiga RKMs, potato
chips, soda pop, and aspirin.
I'm guessing that the big difference is that Fry's now uses the
grocery-store model in the parts aisles: rather than hire
knowledgeable buyer(s) to select a good range of stock, sections of
the parts aisles are rented to to distributors who supply the stock
(and maybe even put it out on the shelves). So you get very narrow,
single-vendor selections of some types of parts.
That and, well, the target market is everyone (instead of just
Sillycon Valley geeks) now that computers are just a special case of
consumer electronics.

I don't understand that at all.. I've read hundreds of discs with
it, and other that it being fairly slow, works pretty well.
Getting your software working on a PCI Mac with the new version
of the card, as well as adding hard-sectored and M2FM support is
on my list to do.

Your analogy here is spot on... I had to pick myself up after falling out
my chair laughing.

If anyone is interested in reading RX02 format with a Catweasel, I've
been down this road. My software for the Catweasel can read and write
these disks. You can download it from my Web page.
If you hate the Catweasel for some reason (I seem to draw hostility when
I post about it here), you're also free to grab my software and adapt it
to other hardware that can sample floppy drive output.

If anyone has a copy of the RL02 Technical Manual, I'd like to borrow it to
add to the documentation archive.

Thanks to Tom Uban, there is now a scan up at
www.spies.com/aek/pdf/dec/disc
I've got an SGI Professional Iris 4D/80, sans disk and some trim pieces on
the case, that I want to get rid of. It's got some Digital and analog
video input connections on it, and the max ram you can put in on the
mainboard (16MB?)
I'm willing to ship the whole thing, or just the boards + I/O bulk heads.
$10 + shipping (Pickup is OK, too) for it all, or any part of it.
I'm in Lafayette, IN, near Purdue.
At least the case needs to be gone by next weekend, I can hold onto the
boards for another week or so. I'm out of space and trying to thin the
collection out. I've never hooked it up, and selling it for less than I
paid for it when I got it a few months ago. I just want to keep it out of
the dumpster if I can. Email me (off-list) if you have any questions,
I can get a list of the boards in it if anyone is interested. If there's
a lot of response, I'll take the best offer I get by Tuesday morning.
