Hi Lee. I saw your post on Classicomp.org about your Anita. That
wasn't just a cool find; that was a once in a lifetime find, congrats. I
paid a lot more for mine, but then i live in California and we didn't get
too many of them out here. Just a lot of those ugly babes from "Baywatch".
Mine didn't come with a manual and there are a couple of functions that
I can't figure out yet. Is there any way i could get a copy from
you? I'll share it around here too. There is a girl in New York who
maintains a website for manuals at http://www.wass.net/manuals/ and I'll
mail her the "Original copy" and credit it to you if you can send me one.
Let me know if you can do it and thanks - d
Hello all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the two different TRS-80 Model 1 Printer Interface Cables? These are the cables used to connect a Line Printer directly to the expansion bus on a Model 1 without using the Expansion Interface. They are ribbon cables with a "little black box" midstream containing the printer port circuitry. The 26-1411 was originally for the LP1 and the 26-1416 was for the LP2.
Now, I know that these also worked on subsequent Line Printers, and my understanding was that the 26-1411 worked on most while the 1416 only worked on a few (!)
What exactly is the difference? Does anyone know? I'm coming into possesion of a LP3, but I only have a 26-1416 cable.... I don't know if this will work (I'm very confused!)
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I just moved my mail server to my internal office network. The IP block
I've been assigned apparently used to be used for dynamic DSL users. The
problem is, at some point someone used one or more of these IP addresses
to send out spam, enough so that my entire Class C block is blacklisted in
some database.
I'm getting reject messages occasionally when I try to send someone
e-mail, like so:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp.secureserver.net.:
>>> RCPT To:<mike(a)sccpc.com>
<<< 553 66.120.4.* mail rejected due to excessive spam (Spam received from
66.120.4.201)
550 5.1.1 <mike(a)sccpc.com>... User unknown
It's a very small percentage of my mail, but it's keeping me from
responding to people sending me inquiries in some instances.
How the *hell* do I track down what fuckwit is blacklisting my address?
I appreciate the efforts people go through to thwart spam but this blanket
blocking bullshit really pisses me off.

Hi,
To make room for more DEC gear, I need to let go of some of the other
stuffI seem to have accumulated over the years. Right now, these
items are available:
1x Apple II mainboard, virgin.
2x Various The Digital Group manuals, schematics and several tens of
issues of their "JUDGE" and "BRIDGE" publications. Vintage early
to mid 70's.
If you're interested, make me a reasonable offer off-list. I will
ship these outside of Holland, as they're small.
Cheers,
Fred

I have two 386-25 boards. One is an AMD 386sx-25, used and I might
have the documentation. THe other is an unused (NOS) 386sx-25 highly
(for that time) integrated motherboard, with floppies and documentation.
Original ad from TImeline, inc is included. 6 slots for memory,
up to 16MB memory, ide interface, floppy interface, serial, paralle,
mouse, keyboard and VGA. I paid $100, never got to use it. THe one
issue is that it only has one slot, made for a riser board. I also
have a riser board, with 3 isa slots on one side and two on the other.

Most likely potasium hydroxide or similar base. You need to first
wash with water, then 50% mix of white distilled vinegar followed
by a rinse and dry.

Not a good idea. Nickle metal hydrides need different types of
charging. The won't last long with a NiCad charging circuit.

Don't know. You should be able to find NiCads to replace.
Check out JameCo. Also, we have a place called Batteries Plus
that will weld together NiCad stacks.

Found this clearing out storage.
Tried to ID via google, not able to conclusively do so. Is it a Model C? Looks
at least a little like one. Is it worth anything or should I scrap it? Seems
too heavy to ship it reasonably.
Thanks if you have any ideas.

I better be more specific about this before I get corrected for generalizing...
you created a block of memory called an IOPB and told the controller where it was. The controller would go out to memory and get the command, etc. The cpu could either "poll" the controller for status or set up and respond to an interrupt that signified completion of the command.
The floppy interface for the bit slice was pretty well abstracted in that the cpu wrote commands to I/O ports and the data off disk was dma'd to and from memory. You told it what to do, where to put it, and how much to data. The cpu didn't have to do anything else except wait for completion of the operation.
