I forward both Ebay and Paypal spoofs to spoof(a)ebay.com or spoof(a)paypal.com.
they then check them out and notify me if they are fake or real.
A couple of times I have forwarded regular traffic to the spoof notice and
got a return email telling me it is not a spoof.
I hope this helps them find the source.

Something blue and white and it says Data General on the front. If it
says MV it would be even nicer.
Does anyone see these anymore? My brother was one of the developers of
AOS/VS and I would really like to restore one.

No, I have three left becasue I cleaned up and refurbished the others:
one to a listmember, and two to ex-colleagues who used to use them
extensively.
The PSUs are easy to repair.

I have an Indy R4400SC-150 as well. I was always rather disappointed
with its speed, though; it's considerably slower than most of the other
Indys. I never liked the look of the Indigo^2 so I don't have any of
those. I'd like your Octane, though,if you ever get tired of it ;-)

:-) The O2K I helped look after in Computer Science was a 32 processor
unit and it had a graphics unit. Nothing like Onyx graphics, but I
would have liked that.

Ditto for my Origin (and the PDPs etc). The machine room is an
extension to the house, and I have UTP, serial lines, thinwire, and
fibre between m/c room and office.

Aside from keyboard ;-)
CPU intensive video design - lose video when program running (or SSLLOOWW
mode for ZX81).
This also makes it highly dependant on the internal firmware, so that it's
tough to adapt other Z80 software systems to run on it.
"RF only", and poorly shielded computer make it tough to get decent TV display.
Limited internal RAM - and expansion very prone to connector problems/flakiness
(practically useless without an external keyboard so that you didn't have to
touch the machine while it was running).
Slightly odd dialect of BASIC.
Never did like the use of single-key "shift" keywords (although this is essential
given the keyboard) - also a matter of taste, so this cannot be considered a
"fault".
But... I still consider the ZX80/81 a rather interesting and innovative design,
because it truly was designed to get "something from almost nothing". Most of
the items listed above are just the "nature of the beast" - given what it was
(the lowest price entry on the block) and to be *VERY* cheap to manufacture.
I know guys who did a *LOT* with their ZX80 - they are a capable machine. But,
their limitations make them look very poor when compared to other more traditional
designs. To appreciate the ZX, you need to keep in mind that it is SUPPOSED to be
a very minimal machine. It makes more sense as an alternative to a programmable
calculator than as an alternative to a word processing or serious software
development machine.
The only really bad thing about the ZX is that I think a lot of people bought it
expecting more than it had to offer...

Dave

I'm Ahmed and I have the following analog computer
Comdyna GP-6
and I want to implement a high order control transfer function, but I do not know how to rescale of the gain coeffecients fro the high order TFs.
so, we send you this letter to help us in this point if it possible.
Thank you very much

Can I point out that there are two battery pacs for the TI Programmer
(LED version).
Battery life with the rechargeable NiCad pac is woeful, about 2 months
for me on a charge with modern aftermarket NiCads.
The 9V Eveready alkaline battery that has been in the calculator all
this year, hasn't died yet. I've had this calculator since new and
never had any problems. Must admit the calculator doesn't get much use
these days.

Ok, I need to call in the experts.
I have had much success lately in getting
my PDP-11/34 system hooked up to multiple
peripherals, running RSTS/E V7. I have
RL02, RK05, multiple VT52s, LA36, VT100
all working running timesharing, terminals
all connected via EIA DZ11. I added a
20mA DZ11, which is recognized by RSTS,
and it uses 8 more KB numbers, with 8
less "unrecognized devices".
The EIA DZ11 uses KB3 through KB10. I have
configured the lines that I'm using so
that the terminal characteristics are set
properly by $TTYSET to match the terminal
types when the system starts.
The 20mA DZ11 uses KB11 through KB18. I
want to connect my ASR-33 to the second
terminal connector on the distribution panel,
therefore it should be KB12 to RSTS.
My problem is that I am now attempting
to connect my ASR-33, which works just
fine is local mode. I am using phone
wire, connecting wires from the DZ11
connectors 1,2,3, and 4 to connectors
3,4,6,and 7 respectively on the ASR33
terminal strip. My info tells me that:
DZ11 1 = Receive + = ASR33 7
DZ11 2 = Receive - = ASR33 6
DZ11 3 = Transmit - = ASR33 3
DZ11 4 = Transmit + = ASR33 4
Something must be working right because
if the 11/34 is not on and the ASR33 is
turned on in "online" mode, it sits there
and "clicks" repeatedly. However, it
stops this clicking when the 11/34 is
powered on. I checked the lines and there
is a 20mA +/- current on the lines.
The problem is that when I type on the ASR33,
it does not echo, and when I use RSTS to send
characters to the ASR 33, it does not respond.
This ASR33 works perfectly in local mode.
Anyone on the list have a clue what's wrong
before I dig deeper? Is there something
obvious that I've done wrong? The ASR33 is
supposed to be working. I have configured
the ASR33 on KB12 to 110 baud using $TTYSET,
but no luck. Just to be sure, I set all 8
KBs, KB11-KB18 to use ASR33 terminal chracteristics.
Help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like mine. The one I have is a replacement, but almost
identical to the one my Dad bought in the mid-60s. It's about 115mm
wide x 55mm thick x 200mm long; it has three DIN sockets on the
left-hand side, and a red button for recording, a sort of joystick knob
to control the tape motion, and a tiny level meter all on the top front
panel. It takes five C-size cells. It originally came with a slightly
larger leather carrying case that had space for the microphone and a
power pack. Still doing sterling service on a BBC Micro and an Exidy
Sorcerer, though it's about as old as their combined ages.
