Bob,
I saw a thread in classiccmp.org where you said "Its quite easy to 'unmodify'
the customized 21MX and turn it back into a normal E-series.
I've done this modification several times, contact me off-list if you
want the details."
I've got a HP 5423A and I'd sure like the details!!!!
Cheers,
Lyle

Thanks for your replies to my previous posting: I managed to find homes
for almost everything.
I've been going through the boxes in the garage, and found a surprising
assortment of little tidbits left over from my old computers. Except as
otherwise noted, the hardware is used, in "excellent" or "like-new"
cosmetic condition. I say "probably working" a lot, but it has a better
than 90% chance of being fully functional. The paper stuff is generally
is "visibly used, but not abused" condition.
All prices are "plus postage". Yes, I know that the shipping cost will
often be more than what I'm asking for the goods, but I don't get to set
the rates. If this *really* bothers you, let me know: I'll be happy to
raise the price to correct the imbalance ;-)
I'd prefer PayPal, but any form of payment that doesn't cost me money in
bank fees is fine.
Ran
Here's the list:
Pet Pack - $5
Osborne's PET User Guide
Osborne's "PET and the IEEE-488 Bus"
VIC-20 Pack - $12
Original user manual (cover somewhat scuffed, "good+" condition)
Commodore's programmer's guide
Osborne's VIC-20 User Guide (you can have this "semi-autographed"
if you want, but I lost touch with my co-author about 15 years
ago, so you'll have to settle for "semi-", unless you want to
track him down).
Compute's "Gazette" for the VIC and C-64, first issue
A VICModem (probably 300 baud, probably working. No labels on it,
though. This might've been a prototype or pilot unit, and is
cosmetically only somewhat better than "good").
A 3-slot backplane board from
Atari Pack - $5
Star Raiders cartridge
Telink II cartridge (modem program??)
No docs or box with these. I'd say the odds are better than 95%
that both are good. I *think* I still have a couple of cassette
apps (probably games) from the Atari Program Exchange hanging
around. I'll throw those in if they turn up, and you want them.
PCjr Pack - $25
IBM Tech Reference (in the slipcase, in "as-new" condition)
Floppy controller board (should be working: as I recall, I pulled
this to install a Tecmar add-on with better features)
Modem board (probably 1200 baud. Enough chips are socketed that
it's probably feasible to hack this into a serial card)
3 cordless keyboards
1 keyboard IR receiver module (dealer spare)
1 pack of 5 overlays for the keyboards (sealed)
First issues of "PCjr" and "Peanut" magazines
My (possibly incorrect) recollection is that one keyboard is the
original from my PCjr (little-used, because I upgraded to the
more-normal one almost immediately), one was a dealer spare that I
bought along with the receiver, and the third was a swapmeet buy.
So there should be at least two in (like-)new working condition.
C-64 Speech synthesizer cartridge - $5 each
"Voice Messenger", by Currah Technologies. I have 2 of these,
still shrinkwapped. Uses a hardware synthesizer chip (SSI263??),
and has an extension ROM that adds speech functions to the built-in
BASIC. The first buyer gets a free light pen that plugs into the
joystick port, but has no docs or software unless I get a surprise
while sorting through my old files. My recollection is that there's
a photodiode in it that generates an interrupt when the CRT beam
sweeps past it.
Fat Mac Pack - $2
(Or "Skinny Mac Pack", if that's what you've got. But that didn't
rhyme ;-). I have a numeric keypad for the original Macs, in the
original packaging. The box looks a *bit* shelfworn, but
surprisingly good, considering its age. The most likely story is
that it's a working unit that the buyers of my early Macs didn't
want, because it's unlikely that I would have packed it and kept
it if it weren't. But I honestly don't know its real status.
Mac II Pack - $5
Nobody wanted the Mac II, so it's doomed to be recycled. But the
Enhanced keyboard and the mouse are in excellent shape, since I
used the Mac only moderately for a few years, and more-or-less
retired it when OS/2 got to the point where it would fill my GUI
needs.
Sony Laser Library - $20
Sony-proprietary-interface 1X CD-ROM drive, bundled with Compton's
Family Encyclopedia, MS Bookshelf 1991 Edition, Languages of the
World, National Geographic Mammals, Mixed-Up Mother Goose,
and a World Atlas (I've forgotten whose). There was a 1.1
update to the encyclopedia that Sony sent out due to some sort
of complaints about the 1.0, and that's included. I'll also
include a half-dozen or so caddies.
This was one of the first CD-ROM drives to get drivers for OS/2 and
Linux, so it may be of interest to someone wanting to run early
versions of those, as well as DOS fans.
I put relatively few hours on the drive before I switched my system
to all-SCSI, so it should be good for a lot more use. I'll give
you a 90-day warranty on it: if it fails, I'll refund the $20 (but
not the shipping), and you get to keep the CDs and caddies.
I might actually have the original box up in the attic (but it may
not be suitable for re-use after being there for so many years).
The docs are probably complete: I can't swear to them being
fully complete, because I don't remember what was included.
greetings all, I'm agblood.
I've got a c128, a trs-80 mc-10, several XTs and ATs, and a TP-340,
(there's more but that is the basics).
Does anyone have any info on the power supply for a Grid 1755/486slc (beyond
16vac, 1.25 a)?

To Whom it may concern. I am currently trying to catoluge an obsolete
electric car program. One of things I have come across are boxes of Ansley
connectors (cat. # 612-1604). I am sure there are other types of connectors
too. Is this something you or someone you know might be interested.
Thank You,
Don Parnell / railsidellc

This weekend I actually got around to building my final HP2000/Access
system. Today was spent completely disassembling the dual bay rack,
cleaning, touchup painting, and reassembling. I finally have the "right"
racks that HP2000 was usually sold in, so everything matches the HP2000 site
preparation and installation guide. I'm taking large amount of pictures of
the restoration, and at some point I'll get them up on the web along with
descriptions. I'm doing it with 2100's again, but I'm trying to come up with
a way to use E series machines.
One thing I was looking at... HP has a 2895 paper tape punch, which is
actually a facit 4070 bit with a totally custom drawer/slide thing. I can
not figure out how this thing is supposed to contact/mount with the rails in
the rack to save my life. Does anyone have the 2895 rackmounted, who could
offer a few key clues as to how it's mounted in their rack? The installation
guide doesn't address rackmounting.
Thanks for any help!
