SUCCESS! You guys are great!! I wired the E and M pins together at the BERG connector and everything is as documented in the M9312 manual. Weird that for such an important wiring/setting, this wasn't mentioned at all in the manual.. Well I guess that's what a community is for.. :-) /wai-sun -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

What's the weirdest thing that you've ever found inside a com puter?

by Lee.Davison＠merlincommunications.com

Not in a computer but .. A used condom inside the back of monitor receiver in an outside broadcast radio van. To get inside this receiver you had to unscrew it from the wall then unscrew the back cover, not the sort of "Quick! Hide it in here!" job you would expect.

Outbound laptop

by vcf＠siconic.com

You'll have to pay some decent money for it, but if you've been looking for an Outbound for a while, here's an opportunity: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5701457714 The Outbound is an interesting laptop. Produced in the late 1980's (or early 1990s?) it was an answer to Apple's lack of a decent laptop. You had to pull the ROMs from your SE in order to use it though, as they shipped without ROMs to avoid getting sued by Apple. -- 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 ]

>paper clips in floppy drive Paper clips, 3x5 index cards, Post-It pads, or other scrap paper is normally stored in the floppy drives of the PCs in my call center. They think that slot is really for office supply storage. I no longer consider that strange, in fact, I now expect it and have redesigned how I deal with those machines anticipating that the floppy drives have all been broken because of it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Well, actually it was a whole rat, but 1/2 was ground up really bad in the gear mechanisms and you couldn't really tell what it was anymore. (This was found as a result of a "my printer's not working!" complaint). _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page – FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/

HP 1000 System in Huntsville AL

by g-wright＠att.net

This is a pallet load of HP 1000 Pieces. If no one saw this, maybe some will keep it from the scrapers. I would take them if they where closer. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=381756 Jerry
