Mike,
I don't have my Osborne 1 any more, but have a Vixen "new" in the original
shipping carton. The carton has been opened to check for mice. Are you
still in the market?

I went to a small hamfest today and found an interesting item. It's an
early Simpson 260 meter with no series number and a BROWN bakelite case.
I've used these meters for 40+ years and never even heard of one of these
before! Other goodies include a Tektronix 465 scope and a Wavetek
Function/Noise generator (cheap!). Also the seller FINALLY brought me the
National Semiconductor Pacer computer that I bought several months ago.
It's a large box with 2 four digit displays and a calculator-like keyboard
and appears to be in perfect condition. Pictures to follow in a few days.
Also I went scrounging yesterday and found a big heap of cards for the
HP-1000 including three DAS cards (very big $$$ :-) Also found a Multibus
chassis with power supply made by AMD. It a Z8002 CPU on one card and two
other wire wrap cards in it. I haven't had a chance to look at it closer.

Well I probably run a high risk of getting flamed a bit here but the wife and I are planning a trip - figured we've worked long enough and deserve it.
Planned route is ex Adelaide (South Australia) to Sydney, then Los Angeles (to catch up with the daughter), then New York, onto London, then maybe Spain, then Zurich, over to Berlin, then Tokyo, down to Singapore and then home.
As we are in the planning phase Id' interested if anyone knows if there are any computer museums (or similar things of interest) in these locations.
TIA!!!

Speed of sound in mercury is 1450m/s, how long is the path of the
delay line?

Dear all,
I just obtained a TSZ07, and of course promptly tried to load a tape.
The drive blows for a while, rotating the front hub, routinely seems
to get the tape about halfway through the serpentine path, then emits
an error message "5F MOTOR FAULT". The rear hub seems to be moving at
least some, the front hub works the way I remember these units working.
(Ok, _my_ memories are of 1600bpi Cipher-badged units from my Prime
days.)
Any suggestions, or am I screwed?
Thanks,
Dennis Boone
Folks,
I'm on holiday this week and I've borrowed the spare Tek 2225 scope to
fiddle with. Can anyone give me a head-start on this beastie so I can go
over my dead TRS80 M1 and see what's actually working? I'm a total scope
novice so I'm searching for online tutorials on general scope use but if
anyone's got experience of the 2225 that'd be great :)
Cheers!

Has anyone heard of this before?
It's an all-in-one unit about 10"x11" footprint and 2.5" high, with a
single 5.25" floppy drive out the front of it, and a chicklet keyboard on
top, covering the front half of the unit. On the back is a "video/audio
in", RS-232, RGB analog, RGB-TTL, Composite video, and modulated video
connector, along with an IEC power connector and power switch.
I got this with some other toys a couple weeks ago, and it seems to be
missing the software that goes with it (it demands to boot from the floppy
drive). I opened it up, and inside it looks vaugely PC-ish, with an
8088, and a 2x31 pin header that might be a connector for an ISA slot if
used with the appropritate header->card edge adaptor.
Anyways, if anyone knows anything about this, or can lend me a copy of the
software, I'd be very appreciative.

Hi,
Someone had agreed to pick up the Sun Sparcserver 490 (Sunnyvale, CA).
However, I have not heard from him in several weeks. So it's being
offered again.
It is a Sparcserver 490, in a very nice Sun rack. It weighs about
250-300lbs. I also have a lot of Sun documentation that goes with it.
It's free for the taking. Just *take* it!
Thanks.

Sorting through my stash in preparation for moving I've uncovered
one of these cards, unfortunately it's had all its socketed chips
robbed at some time (not by me) which are all GALs.
Anyone got the fuse maps for these? I really don't want to have to
work out the logic by hand.
Cheers,
Lee.

I have two matching NCR 3230 boxes available for pickup.
They are 486/33's with three ISA slots, floppy, and one has a 170m drive. 16 and 32 megs memory.
I believe they would support a 486/66 chip.
They've very small POS-oriented boxes that look very slick.
They were constructed for use as routers.
I also three non-vintage PCs: A Dell P120 Minitower, fully equipped, reliable, speedy, a P3 dual-processor tower (defective cpu), and a clone Celeron 300 / Slot 1 system, status unknown. These are optionally available to whomever picks up the NCR units, otherwise they're going to recycling center.
