Does anyone know anything about a Moore mycroterm?
Moore was taken over by Siemens,
It is 2 beige boxes with handles, shorter and squatter than a Compaq
luggable. I've been told that it has Motorla cpu.
I haven't been able to get it past my wife yet to have a closer look.
It came my way in exchange for a few 286's which are going back into
service.

I have it on good authority that the 'Chinese Red' (aka orange!) was
identical to the commonly-available car colour known as 'Toyota truck
orange' - in fact a post mentioned that cans of the Toyota paint were used
for touch-ups in final assembly at DEC, IIRC.
That's why it wasn't on my list of colours! Though it would still be nice to
have a Pantone number, I agree...
Google alt.sys.pdp10 for 'truck orange'.

OK, here's a an OT, I can't wait...
I have a seven year old IBM 760XL Laptop somebody
gave me for free with all the trimmings (with 2 different docking bays)
that likes to switch over to the VGA port every time it boots completely
up. The LCD panel is seen for the period right after power-on to the time
the OS starts. I haven't seen LCD control in the BIOS start-up
(powerswitch+F1) or in the Control Panel. I want to tell it to keep the LCD
display on always.
Perhaps someone has worked with this particular model?
Reply to me directly, if you intuit that this is not a true list question.
BTW this is mechanically a pretty interesting machine. You can
lift up the keyboard and change out any of this: Batteries,spares,
Floppy,CD,HD, and memory, all using no tools at all.
Thanks,
John A.

I have this laptop too and have never had this problem. You can switch using
a function key, FN+F3 I think. What happens if you toggle through the
LCD/external display options?
760XL is not a bad laptop because it does not have the crappy MWAVE stuff.
Only problems are the keyboard keys get hard to push due to wear.
Folks,
They keep coming... last week it was a System/38, this week a System/34. Two
of them to be precise, in Ottawa, .ca.
I'm down for one - but the recycler who is picking them up only wants to
deal with both of them - he needs to recoup scrap value, plus pickup
expenses.
They're complete, working, with docs and disks.
Any takers for the second machine? Someone local in NE USA / New England
area would obviously help...

Do to damage from shipping I need replacement parts for a IBM 548 Punch card
Interpreter and a IBM 5211 Printer. Anyone know some sources for parts?
Also would like to get three more cables to hook up the IBM 5251 terminals
and a couple more plastic "magazines" used to hold the 8" floppies for
reading (have 1). Thanks John
See below.

I live on Vancouver Island British Columbia small town of Port Alberni,
if you know anyone that can use them and has someway to or someone coming
this way they are quite welcome to the drives. Otherwise off to the dump
