We pulled the CPU and left the rest.

Hopefully, you took the cable that was connecting the 8/E to
the first RK05. It is a very difficult to find part, second
only to the cable that goes from a TD8E to a TU56.

Gang - Hats off to Der Mouse for coming up with working code that
can convert a wav audio file to data. It imported into simh/altairZ80
via the PTR device and saved onto an mbasic boot disk just fine and so
far runs. 22 Years ago I had to massage the TRS/80 basic code to
get it to work on MITS 8K basic and thankfully didn't have to do it
all over again! A fun adventure game (Altair flavor) saved.

Yesterday I went back to the place where I found the two Flexowriters to see if I could fin ANY more parts for them. (Found one tape reel that mounts on the back of the Flexowriter. I didn't even know that they used one.) I was just there a few days ago but I took a good look around anyway. I found an intel Multibus chassis, about a dozen more cards including two bubble memory cards, FIVE Intel 86/380 computers (three are complete and supposed to be operable) and some kind of rackmount industrial computer with Multibus cards. I'm being deluged with Mulktibus stuff lately!

1. Obtain radio shack part numbers 23-149 1000mAh Nicad Batteries (2),
270-382A 2 cell AA battery
holder.
2. Snip off the snap end, the plastic is a little brittle, so I used
Diagonal Cutters to cut
it off right where the flat plastic that holds the snaps
3 Snip off the spring from the snap part and place it in the bottom of
the cell holder.
4 Install the two NiCad batteries one with positive showing, one with
negative showing
5 Insert the assembly into the back of the calculator, you will have to
compress the springs
to get it to fit. The positive battery should touch the left terminal
in the calculator as
you are holding the calculator with the terminals up (upside-down),
viewing the back.
I use a slip of cardboard to close the back cut into a rectangle with
one tab on one side and
2 tabs that fit into the slots on the calculator. An X-Creditcard or
somthing of that same
thickness would work better.
Picked up the following items on Saturday (11/6) and it was a lot of work
for two old men as this System/34 is big and heavy.
IBM System/34 5340, IBM 5211-2 High Speed Printer 5211, MAI/IBM 548 Punch
card Interpreter with one programming board, 3-IBM 5251 Terminals, 2-IBM
Keyboards, 44-Manuals, 11-8" Diskettes with Diagnostic on them, Datacard
cabinet with several card decks inside (compilers, programs, etc.)
JOOI, are the traffic stats for classiccmp online anywhere? List traffic
seems to be unusually low the last few days, and for a few weeks before
that I'd been getting some messages anything up to a week late (although
I think the latter's probably due to the disk problems in the classiccmp
server).
Be nice if I could crossref how many posts classiccmp thinks it's sent
out to how many I've actually received here, just to check I'm not
losing mail (I'm just not sure how much faith I have in yahoo, it being
a free service!)
cheers

FYI email's still broken matey - I just got a bounce back from my
response to your earlier request for a test :-( New DNS provider time
for ya, I reckon!
(Apologies to everyone else for the OT!)

I just got a nice Mac Classic II, but it has a 1 1/2 " (inch!) scratch
in the front of
the CRT. I can't tell how deep the scratch is, but a finger nail
catches there.
Does anyone know what can be done to fix a bad scratch like that?
Am I in any real danger of the CRT imploding?
Someone suggested toothpaste (the white kind) any comments?
