The things that some people will believe... enter at your own risk, however; there is some 'adult' rated stuff on there... http://www.funny-shit.com/view.php?current_page=pictures&id=1743&download=1 BTW, it's on topic, as the computer in the picture is over 10 years old... ;^> Laterz, Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.

Apple II floppy substitute

Oh good, that makes my life easy. I have a half dozen unopened boxes of 5.25 DSDD floppies. Now I don't have to dig thru or sort all the used ones. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Loutus 123 "Government Edition"?

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

Hello all, I recently got a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 (on topic! Dates on disks are 1989), Release 2.2. The disks, and the box the disks were in say "Government Edition". There is a barcode label on the bottom that says "3.5 Govt Upgrd", and the disks have a cool logo of the American Eagle, with a floppy disk over it, and the words "Government Edition". My question is: Is there any real difference between this and any other 123 R2.2, or is this just fancy labeling? Thanks! Rich B.

Apple IIgs ROM differences

by cb＠mythtech.net

Is there any reason to keep ROM 01 IIgs units? I have both ROM 01 and ROM 03 units. I know the ROM 03 has advantages over the ROM 01, so given that I have both, is there a reason to keep a ROM 01? Is there anything a ROM 01 can do or is needed for that can't be done on a ROM 03? Of course, I am keeping my ROM 00 unit... just because. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Apple IIgs ROM differences

by cb＠mythtech.net

>Now, if you are realy throwing out ROM 00 or 01 IIgs, I would >be interested in the boards (including the parts). I only have one ROM 00 unit, which I am keeping. I have at least one ROM 01 unit, plus I have 4 or 5 other IIgs units that I don't know the ROM version. I also have one ROM 03 complete system which I am keeping. Although I have no objection to shipping things, I have no time to do it. And I don't mean that in the sense that I am busy... I mean that in the sense that I am being evicted from my storage area, and have no where to move things until they can be shipped. Monday, everything that isn't claimed this weekend, hits the dumpster. My Oct 1st deadline was just moved forward to Saturday. I just had to beg and plead to keep the space until Monday because I have some people lined up to stop in over the weekend. If you want to make arrangements with someone that is stopping in, and have them take things for shipping, that's fine with me Now I just have to figure out how to get them around the painting that will be starting on Saturday. Full construction and moving starts Monday... when the movers show up, all my stuff is being removed and I can't stop it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

$$$ BOUNTY : HP 2895B paper tape punch racking info

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I'm offering a cash bounty for information on rackmounting the HP 2895B paper tape punch. I have this gorgeous 2895B on a nice sliding tray with telescoping slides. The telescoping slides then mount to other stationary rails inside the HP cabinet. This is all standard-issue HP stuff. However, I can find no way that this drawer will mount to standard HP stationary rails (L brackets). This means one of two things... either the hardware on the sides of the tray was put together wrong by the previous owner and I can't figure out for the life of me how the pieces should be assembled, or, the 2895B rackmount drawer requires special (different) stationary rails inside the HP rack that I don't have. The bounty is for information as to either how to correctly rackmount what I have, or, acquiring the correct stationary rails. I know this sounds picky, but everything in this particular restoration is completely "authentic", and I don't want to mess that up with "jerry-rigging" a non-standard mount for this one item. The 12926A (the HP part number for the whole 2895B kit, including interface card, cables, diagnostics, etc.) manual does show the 2895B racked with a side view. However, this picture shows the punch, drawer, and slides but does not show how that assembly is bolted to the inside of the HP rack. As to where to look, the 12926A manual lists another manual which MAY contain the sought after information. This manual is: HP 2985B Tape Punch Operating and Service Manual, part number 02895-90008 However, I seem to recall that this manual above only says "For rackmounting instructions, see the instructions that came with your rackmount kit". In addition, the actual rack mount kit for the punch is part number 02895-60002 (light grey) or 02895-60003 (moss grey). This kit would surely have the instructions for assembly in it. Can anyone help? Jay West
