Hi,
I've read a post on the net where you said you have a CM100... I'd like to
receive the source code of the microchip in the drive and a copy of the manual
(if you have it) and I also need the pinout of the cable that connects the
drive with the control board CM153... I hope you can help me, 'cause I've
found that CD-ROM drive and I'd love to see it operating again...
PS: I'm Italian so I cannot speak and write in English very well, please be
patient...
Bye

Since it's essentially coloured wax, I wonder if the technique used to
remove wax (candle wax, usually) from clothing might work? It's
basically a case of ironing a sheet of brown (wrapping) paper over the
wax. Paper-on-paper probably won't work as well as paper-on-cloth, so
I'd try it on something unimportant first!

I need to part with my private collection's biggest (and boy is this thing
big) Albatros. I have 5360 with two tape drives, two printers and the
expansion cabinet. I've never attempted to power the thing up, but they
tell me it was working when retired. It's currently located outside of
Hartford, CT. Any takers?

Anyone have a DG Eclipse S/130 or S230 they'd be willing to trade? I'm still
looking for a Nova 1200, Microdata Reality, and Pr1me too.
Contact me off-list if so, I've got DEC, HP, & Heathkit to trade.

I MAY be going to the datacenter this evening, not sure yet, only a 50/50
shot. If I do, I will take the classiccmp machine down to look at the memory
slots, and to install the 160gb drive in place of the 20gb drive. This will
take a while, so expect to be down an hour perhaps. Then I'll take the 20gb
drive home, do a new FreeBSD install with the newer versions of mailman,
mysql, php, etc... then at some point I'll take that 20gb drive downtown some
other day and replace the existing 4gb OS drive.
Like I said, only a 50/50 shot - I may get tapped to do something else
tonight. But if not, I wanted to give the list a headsup.

Just picked up something I've been looking for for quite a while off of
ePay - a Zenith Minisport ZL-2 (AFAIK, it's a ZL-1 w/2Meg RAM) laptop computer.
Actually, the computer wasn't the important part -- the important part was
the 5 boxes of floppy disks (3 yet unopened) - those suckers are harder
than hen's teeth to find nowadays...
3 batteries, power supply, black naugahyde case (dunno how many nauga's had
to die to make it... ;-) & the aforementioned disks...
$50-few USD shipped.
Good news:
1) lotsa disks now... I already have a bare 2" drive that I've always
wanted to build into one of my CoCo3's - thereby making it unique. I got
the drive on ePay about 4-5 years ago, but it only had one disk. Without
more storage, that was kinda pointless, IMHO..
2) It boots!
Bad news:
There's a password on it, so it doesn't boot very far... :-(
Any utils or 'cmos clearing' keypresses or jumpers I can use to clear that out?
Thanks, and laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger

What do you do when Life gives you lemons,
and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
Want Leading Edge PC, IBM PC/XT clone from the 1980's.
Need one with a rocker switch on the front. Dead or
alive (dead is no problem).
Thanks,

Historical Note about AS/400...I worked at IBM when the original AS/400 was
first launched. The AS/400 was called "Project Overloard" before launching
- it was my job (as an intern) to tape up windows of the conference room
containing the AS/400 prototype with black paper so the press could not see
in. That was 1987 spring. I helped set up the unit with monitor, boot
the unit, and load OS, etc for meetings. To me the as/400 seemed to me
like an old fashioned computer. I was more interested in the PS/2's and
Windows 2.0. Speaking of which, does anyone have the old IBM Windows
Collegiate Kit disks? I have an old model 25 that originally came with
this as the OS. Techinically this is Windows 1.5 (?)
