Nice 19" rackmount chassis with integrated VGA CRT

by vcf＠siconic.com

I'm wanting to unload this fine 19" rackmount cabinet with a built in 9" VGA (SVGA?) CRT. Unfortunately, something is definitely wrong with the CRT. It runs very hot, even when not turned on. There might be a short somewhere (it might even be on the yolk as there are some lead wires from the yolk touching itself where it doesn't look like it should). I was smelling some magic smoke earlier, so something is surely amiss. I wish I knew what or I'd fix it. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time. But it's a nice chassis and I'd hate to junk it. It includes a P-90 motherboard with 3 ISA and 3 PCI slots. I'll max out the RAM. It has a 540MB hard drive as well. http://www.siconic.com/computers/crt-chassis-1.JPG http://www.siconic.com/computers/crt-chassis-2.JPG Does anyone want to make an offer? I'm not expecting much. You could probably repair or replace the CRT with enough ambition. Would make for a very nice compact rack server. Shipping would be 45 pounds from ZIP code 94550. Figure about $35 shipping worst case. E-mail me if interested. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]

ebay question

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I'm bidding on an item, and I'm pretty sure the seller has another (0 feedback) account and is bidding up the price. I don't see any spot on ebays website where I can raise this issue. Is there someone I can bring this issue to there? Anyone have any thoughts on this? Please reply off-list Jay --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]

HP Integral I/O cards

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

Does anybody here have an HP Integral with the RS232, current loop, or GPIO cards in it? I realise I'm never going to find these cards for sale (at least not at a price I can afford), but I'd like to know what the chips on them were to see if it's possible to make some equivalent. So if you have those cards, could you tell me the numbers on the chips. -tony

Other fun stuff...

by auringer＠tds.net

Howdy, I am getting more cleaning done than expected. I found the following items that I wish to find new homes for. (3) Three hard plastic "Library Cases" for 8" floppy disks. Two are plain black, and the third is tan with a BASF label on it. Inside I found an 8" floppy of Sorcim SuperCalc 2 version 1 for the IBM 3740 / CPM 2.x / Intel 8080. The copyright date is 1983. Also in the box, Computronics "Business Pac 100" CP/M version on two 8" floppies. Less interesting are 9 8" floppies with a variety of insurance company proposal programs on them. I also have a half-full box of unused OEI brand (M5081) punch cards. Any offers? Jon Jon Auringer auringer(a)tds.net

Linux Box + DOS 3.2 box + (1)5.25 floppy drive (okidata 3305BU) = HELP!!!!!!!!

At 12:00 PM 2/29/2004 -0600, you wrote: >Hey, to the person that buys a laptop without a keyboard or screen for >$75, I've got an old 5.25" floppy disk drive that doesn't read or write >for $25. Well, I can top what everybody is offering here. I have a laptop that has no keyboard (pulled and put on another laptop.) It also has a cracked LCD, which actually still 'works' though the way it switches from positive to negative image on sections of the lcd display is kinda surreal. Also, it only has 4 megs of RAM, it has no hard drive, and it's a 486. But I remember when I couldn't afford a 486 so maybe it's still a good deal. My 8088 Zenith Supersport and my IBM PC Convertable (one with ALL 640K of RAM, which is a rarity) are the better choices, collection-wise. My Model 100's rule, of course.

Jay is not talking about fitting the ribbon cable to the connector, but to connecting/disconnecting it to its mating connector. Class 3 conectors are rated for about that many mating cycles, Class 2 for 3 to 5 times that, and Class 1 for upwards of 400 cycles. You might be surprised to know that the figures are about the same for many other types of small multipole connectors. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
