Cool Stuff

by jrice54＠charter.net

Just barely off topic, I got a load of cool stuff yesterday. I bought an original Canon 17" monitor, an object.station 41 bezel new in wrapper, a prototype intel Pentium Overdrive preocessor that is listed on intel's site as never released, a replacement ISA/VESA bus riser card for the object.station, and a mouse/keyboard new in wrapper for the object.station. The monitor completes one of my object.stations while the other is now complete except for the proper Canon monitor. The Canon PS2 keyboards with the unix key layout and the green NeXT keys are very hard to find as are the monitors. It's been a four year quest to located all of this stuff.

ZX81 kits (was Re: Jupiter Ace)

From: Al Hartman <alhartman(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Jupiter Ace Date: 06/02/2003 1:13 PM > Stewart also still has ZX-81 kits for anyone who wants > to build one themselves. I think he sells them for > about $50.00US. May I suggest that you check Zebra's web site? Mr. Newfeld has these kits priced at *$99.95* A few years back he was listing them at $29.95. I bought a couple, and so did some friends. He immediately raised the price to $39.95, then $49.95, and finally the ridiculous price of $99.95. He's been sitting on these damn kits since the early eighties, and the only explanation for the price increase is plain and simple greed. Glen Goodwin Orlando, FL USA 0/0

Collectors worldwide, UNITE!

by toresbe＠ifi.uio.no

Over the weekend, a thought has been taking shape inside my head: What if we made a Grand Unified Union of Computing Collectors? Okay, GUUCC doesn't pronounce well. "Geeewkhkh". (shudder) How about Collector's International Association... Erm, nope. ;) International Computer Artifact Preservation Society! ICAPS sounds good. Or, if you totally disagree with it all, send a suggestion. OK, www.ipacs.org. What should it contain? -A member's directory with all the computers he/she owns -A directory of computers -A knowledge base revolving around all of the computers. For example, a user should be able to: Search for "6-611" 1 Machine found. Siemens 6-611 (198?) 1 Owner found. Tore S Bekkedal One would then click the entry link, and open up a window with pictures and specs etc, and there would be interesting links regarding that machine, downloadable boot images, etc, etc. If one clicked the owner, one would see other machines in his collection. There should also be a "Market" where people could exchange spares, and machines etc. Also an "Opportunities" "Map" where you could see pickup opportunities? Companies should be able to "Donate" to the organization whereupon an entry would appear on the "map". IPACS would also allow for sharing of storage space, people splitting the bill for major warehouses? Any suggestions, alterations, criticism, etc, etc, most welcome! -Tore "Why O why must I always write an interesting quote below my name? Can't I write something about toenails? Or are they interesting as well?"

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

Can you scan fiche yet? -- No, that project is probably not going to happen this year. Too many other things going on right now.

id this 88100/88200 CPU card?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I picked up a pile of cards yesterday at a scrap place. One of them has a Motorola XC81100RC25G and four XC88200RC25E ICs on it. I know the 88100 is a 32 bit RISC CPU and the others are 16k Cache/MMUs. The only other IC on the board appears to be a 24 pin PAL but it has a label on it so I can't read the part number. The baord itself has three high density connectors on the bottom and is marked "Motorola Inc (c) 1989" and measures ~4 1/2" x 8 1/2" and has 6 mounting holes around three sides. Anybody know what it might be for? Joe
