is anyone on the list using Adobe Acrobat?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I'm considering buying a copy and I'd like to talk to anyone that's used it to scan documents. I have questions about what features are in the different versions and what scanner interfaces are supported in the different versions. Joe

ryan-McFarland BASIC?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Today I got two boxs of old Intel computer manuals that a friend of mine dug up in Vermont. In one of the manuals are some brochures for Ryan-McFarland BASIC. I've never heard of RM BASIC for any system before. Anybody know anything about it? Joe

Yo Zane: I just got some rather bizarre e-mail from you personally, which I don't think you sent - but *something* posing as you did.. Best look to your System, and the Security thereof... Email me off list for a description... It was amusing, in a surreal sort of way. ;} Cheers John

DEC RW 500

by pietstan＠rogers.com

I've got a DEC RW500 optical disk libray that I'm confused about.... The machine powers up, passes self tests, loads and unloads media, but I can't get the scsi controller in my peecee to recognize any media in it. I've tried the original drive that came in the box, as well as an HP versioned drive, as well as DEC labelled media, HP labelled media, and some other brands. It seems like the drive starts to spin the media, but it stops after a few seconds.... Is there a trick to this, or do I have a couple of dead drives?

Advert alert - HP 8451A including rare 98155A keyboard

by john_a_s2004＠hotmail.com

Hi, I came across the following advert: http://www.irjohnston.com/HP_spectrophotometer.html for a HP 8451A Spectrophotometer which includes the rare 98155A keyboard. This machine is based on the HP-85A / 85B (or both!) and the ad has some nice photos of the complete set up, including the keyboard which HP-9915A owners seem to be desperate to get their hands on. This looks like an expensive way of buying a keyboard though.... BTW the photos are dated October 2003 so this may have sold by now. Perhaps suppliers of 8451As might have a spare keyboard from a dead unit knocking around, I would not like to ask all the 100's of suppliers of surplus lab equipment though! Regards, John

Well, no, because you've gone and halt'ed the CPU because you're so self-important. I don't *need* the SCSI bus operational to bring up the CPU and boot varios OSes. Silly firmware. Slapped wrist.

Apple IIc

by cb＠mythtech.net

>DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT THE FACTORY ORIGINAL POWER SUPPLY. >If you use anything else, then you will be writing to this >list about the machine no longer working. That sounds like the voice of experience. Is there a particular reason someone can't roll their own power supply? Did Apple do something funky with it that isn't easily determined? (Gee, 'cause that would be SOOO unlike Apple to do, wouldn't it!). Being an Apple fan, I'm just curious for details. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
