>3 + 5/8 if you're going to start inside V1 and they're all 1" thick and 5 >covers to go through. wouldn't it be 3.5 inches? Starts page 1 vol 1, ends last page vol 3, so that's only 4 covers to go thru (back of vol 1, front of vol 2, back of vol 2, front vol 3). So that's 3 books of pages at 1 inch per book, 3 * 1 = 3 4 covers at 1/8 per cover is 4 * 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2 3 inches of text + 1/2 inch of covers = 3.5 inches that the worm travels. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

PAL RGB on Cub monitors

by Lee.Davison＠merlincommunications.com

> There was a model (which I have never seen!) which had a built-in PAL > decoder. This took 1V composite video. The input was a BNC socket IIRC. There is more than one model that has the PAL board and may also have the audio board or even the stereo audio board. I have the beige cube shaped CUB with the PAL board, a black 'D' series CUB (more conventional monitor shape) with both the PAL board and a stereo audio board and three beige CUB monitors in chunky plastic cases that have the PAL board but without the decoder section being populated, they also lack an audio section. The inputs on the beige cube and the black 'D' series are the standard CUB DIN socket and a BNC socket. The BNC is for 1v PAL or .3v sync and the DIN socket is either .7v RGB or digital RGBS. The chunky plastic beige CUBs all have four BNC sockets, RGB and Sync.

Setasi/DEC RP12

by mross666＠hotmail.com

Folks, Recently was lucky enough to pick up one of these, brand new never used. http://www.corestore.org/rp12.htm Unfortunately it came without any media. Questions: 1. Can anyone confirm they used 'standard' Quantum Passport XL media, without any wierd & wonderful DEC factory formatting? 2. Can anyone provide copies of the vital personality diskettes? Without those, it's a lump of iron :( Thanks Mike http://www.corestore.org _________________________________________________________________ Use custom emotions -- try MSN Messenger 6.0! http://www.msnmessenger-download.com/tracking/reach_emoticon

bugs!

by TRASIOL＠cs.com

Sellam: You really opened the proverbial 'bag of worms' (your own description). I suggest again - get advice from a professional exterminator. I've had termites in my house, my garage, in storage rooms, etc., and I assure you they will go right through plastic wraps, plastic sheets, plastic curtains, and anything made of wood or wood fibres (like paper). Defeating them is not a "game" that most of us are prepared or equipped to play, and, yes, I have a contract (perpetual) that guarantees the protection of my home and all I have in it. Saying you don't need it is like saying you don't need any kind of insurance - life or otherwise.. Protect your investments! Art

trouble interfacing an HP86B to an HP7040 plotter with a serial interface

by billdeg＠degnanco.com

I recall that with a new plotter of that era I had to initiate the plotter by hooking everything up and then typing and running a basic program from the PC to the plotter through the serial cable. The program initiates the plotter for use. If this is not a new plotter, it may have been set up for a different PC/desktop calculator in which case you'd need to re-initialize it. If that's not the case, maybe the ROM(?) that held the original configuration is bad. Do you have the manual for the plotter? The program should be in there. Sorry..I do not remember the program, it's been almost 20 years! Maybe someone has a HP7040 plotter manual out there in this group. The basic program should be only 3-5 lines. bd

Gawd damn bugs!

by TRASIOL＠cs.com

Sellam: I'll bet my last dollar that you've got termites - or maybe they've got you! They love corrugated board and paper. I've had them bore holes right through books, from cover to cover. I suggest you get help!! Art Hill
