Take a look at the LEM Swap list (www.lowendmac.com look for the email
lists). I see Rev A beige G3's going for around $50 all the time.

Someone I know online is part of something that's going out of
business, or something similar, and is liquidating a bunch of stuff.
Most of the computer stuff is more recent than our cutoff (much less
any of the recently-proposed alternative cutoffs :), but some may be
old enough, it includes a bunch of non-computer office stuff, and at
liquidation prices some of you may want something more recent -
heretical though it may seem to some of you, I'm sure some (others) of
you, like me, don't confine your computer activities to
strictly-on-topic machines. My friend says "...get the word out.
Otherwise, this stuff is just gonna go to a liquidator or something.
We [...] would rather see it go to someone who'll use it than to a
company that'll just sell it off.".
It's all pickup-only stuff in California (Chatsworth, 91311).

In 1976 I worked with a guy who maintained a tube computer when he was going
to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He said that everyday the ran a diagnostic at
low voltage then at high voltage. This would point out weak tubes. They
would replace the tubes and the machine was good for another day.

Does anyone have a MicroLink catalog or docs for any of their cards? I
picked up two cards that I'm trying to identify. The only thing printed on
that that might be a model number is "97134". There are no LSI ICs to give
a hint of its function, only a bunch of standard SSI TTL ICs. It has two 34
position ribbon cable headers on the end of the cards.

In cleaning out a place to put the Cromemco, I ran across the
Polymorphic stuff again. One of the chassis is labeled 8824, but so far,
I haven't found any information about it. Anyone here at least have
heard of it?
Hello everyone,
Can someone help me out - I need a Zorro ethernet card for my 2000, or maybe something like a golden gate board to let me use ISA cards. I'd also like to get hold of a video toaster 2000 setup, any chance of a US folks helping out?

Hello again!
Does anyone have a copy of the wirewrap diagram for a Q22/CD backplane?
I'm looking to wrap my own backplane from an old 4-slot Q18-serpentine
chassis I have.

All,
I'm looking for a 386/25MHz CPU with motherboard containing at least 5 ISA slots. Does anyone have such for sale or know of a source?
Thanks,

I'm not getting involved in this political discussion... as many of you know
I'm a (gasp) member of the media, and not just for old computers.
Few people are stronger advocates of free speech than I. Having said that, I
do feel that "off-topic" on this list ought to mean things that are other
TECHNOLOGY topics, such as the WWW discussion from earlier this week. Yes, I
once posted a last-minute message asking if anyone wanted to buy some concert
tickets. However it's common sense, I think, that topics like politics (and
religion, sex, etc.) on this list do nothing but scare away would-be collectors
(and existing collectors who don't have my tolerance for this stuff).
Now, if there were an (intelligent, not cliched!) debate about which candidate
would better serve America's technology platform, that would be different. In
fact I encourage that debate. But this current thread, and future ones like
it, should stop.
