Hi Pete
I hope you carefully checked that there wasn't a broken
wire in the cord. This is the most common cause of
failure in these units.

No, I have a spare, but I would like to fix the bust one. It turns out
that the 2-button version, M-S34, widely used on Compaq PCs and things,
has the same PCB (but missing one microswitch, of course), and I think
I can acquire one of those.

Hi
I have a tinky lathe with mill attachment. It can't do
really wide stuff but I used it to mill the blocks I connected
to an old SA400 frame to make my hole punch for hard sectored
disk ( as seen at VCF ).

Any one have an IBM Thinkpad 390?
I am building a DOS machine, and I need some of the drivers,
I went to DRIVERGUIDE.COM and did not find them there. I went
to IBM and found the names of the files, but they refused to
upload.
The files are supposedly at ftp.software.ibm.com but the directory
they are supposed to be in appears to be empty.
Files I need....
pctpbdos.exe and .txt PCMCIA drivers for DOS
uttpdos.exe and .txt Utility Disk for DOS
mdltbdos.exe and .txt Lucent winmodem drivers for DOS
I have googled the filenames, but they lead back to either IBM
or Driverguide.
My DOS is stuck in 640x480 mode on an 800x600 screen. This makes
an inch wide black border around the text-space. :^\
Anyone have an IBM 390 (mainframe style),
I am trying to build menus and screens that look mainframish,
I have already written a login program in turbo C that looks
sort of mainframe-ish.
are there any examples of mainframe screens on the internet?
??
I have the crimp tool and a few connectors left. I am in the US, so it
might be less expensive for some people to have me make them. I am
on vacation now, but I'll be back before Christmas.

Barely within the 10-year rule... Does anybody have a Logitech mouse
model M-S35, possibly damaged mechanically but with working electronics
(specifically the IC that does the work)? This model is a 3-button
PS/2 Pilot mouse, OEMed by SGI, DEC, IBM, and probably others, and mine
stopped working yesterday :-(

If a Unimat counts, or a Myford lathe with the extra slides, I do :-)

Thanks for checking this, it's good to hear that this is still the case
with current 4.3BSD-Quasijarus.

I recently picked up an interesting book, entitled "The Logic Desgign of
Computers: An Introduction", by M. Paul Chinitz. Mr. Chinitz was
Director of Training at Univac from 1953 to 1956, and it shows -- even
though this book was published in 1981. Seriously, the design style in
the book is straight out of the 50's and 60's. Although the book makes
numerous references to standard TTL logic components, he does just about
everything with simple gates and RS flip-flops, and devotes space to
such dated topics (for a book of its scope) as 1's complement
arithmetic, serial arithmetic, and delay lines. Proponents of a
straightforward fully-synchronous design style based on MSI, like
Winkel, Prosser, and Mano, would be horrified to see students taught to
gate clocks in 1981. The book uses a simple 8-bit 1-address
architecture as an example, using a multiphase clocking scheme and RS
flip-flops with preclear. All a wonderful throwback to the days when
every gate and transistor counted.
I picked up a copy at a swap meet, misplaced it, ordered another from an
internet used bookseller, and then found my original copy. I thus now
have an extra copy of this book. It is available for $5 plus shipping if
anyone is interested.
