BTW I meant to add that the seller's father bought the boards directly
>from AMI as part of a bulk purchase through a "computer club" that he used
to be a member of. He lived in Palo Alta and worked at SRI (Stanford
Research Institute) at the time. I wonder if he was a member of the
original Home Brew Computer club and bought the boards through them? He was
in the right area at the right time. I'm trying to get more details. BTW
does anybody know if there's a list posted anywhere of the early members of
the Home Brew Computer club?

Hello all,
I have an old IBM 3.5" 720KB floppy, meant to be installed in an XT. The
kit came with a 5.25" floppy that contained drivers, and a program called
"35INSTAL.COM". The floppy is totally unreadable, so I cannot complete the
installation on my XT. Does anyone have this diskette who could loan it to
me, or make me a copy? I can get the drive's part number, if necessary...
Thanks!

Has anyone actually tried to scale "on-topic" into something we can wrap our
arms around? Once upon a time, I was told that any platform carrying a
version of Windows was off topic. What of my DEC SL486DX with DOS 5.0,
WIndows 3.1 and Office 4.0? The DEC manufacturer's tag clearly shows a
manufacture date of 1991 (so did some of the files I cleaned out of it...).
A DEC recovery service tag also clearly shows a complete overhaul in 1993.
Is it on-topic by year of manufacture, but off-topic because of its onboard
applications? What applies? What doesn't?

Hello Don,
> Or, why not simply items that apply/relate to equipment at least 10 years
old?
That too. In fact, upon further reflection, I thought that there might still
be items that were released 10+ years ago, that might now be considered
classic, but might still be being manufactured new, and still sold, even by
the original equipment manufacturer. No specific example comes to mind,
but there must be some. So, I thought a refinement to be, "items which were
originally released 10 or more years ago, regardless of whether or not still
being made and sold", and as you have suggested, "items that apply/relate to
equipment at least 10 years old" might be the best definition to apply as
to whether or not an item is, or is not, on topic.
Best Regards

This is a repost; I never saw my original message make it through to the
list. Apologies if this is a duplicate and I just missed it...
I've been working from a set of H-88 schematics for a long, long time,
extrapolating and tracing differences between the '-88 and the '-90.
I was wondering if anyone either had a spare copy of the schematics they'd
be willing to sell to me, or make a brief loan of them so I can run a copy
of them on a large-format duplicator, or...?
Thanks in advance! --Patrick

Sorry to say, I no longer have that manual, I mailed it to someone that
asked for it a number of weeks ago.

Eric,
It may not be as bad as it sounds. Just like the IA64 has ended up being "finished" by a lot of Alpha Engineers (they got the last 150 from HP about a month ago), it appears that next major version of HP/UX is going to end up being a lot more "Tru64" than HP/UX. HP has made commitments to retain the distinguishing features of Digital Unix, e.g. clustering and AdvFS, and they don't plan on offering two parallel versions, one with and the other without. It will be easier to include the "look and feel" of HP/UX into Tru64 - and call it HP/UX - than to make HP/UX do *real* clustering.
It's sorta like buying a Bentley ... it's still mainly Rolls-Royce under the skins.
