In the (presumably unlikely) event that anyone wants to come to Boulder, Colorado and get it, please let me know. (Soon, because it's going to be recycled.) It's been rained on, but it seems to be otherwise intact. I can find a home for the drum in the more likely event that no one wants the rest of the keypunch.

CAPcard 9500 available

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

Ive got two of these things. It's basically a complete socket 3 system board on a full length ISA board and runs independently from the host computer. They both have Pentium overdrives on them. How about $4 plus whatever it costs to ship. -- I am not willing to give up my liberties for the appearance of 'security'

DECmate III with a serial console?

by dbetz＠xlisper.mv.com

Well, I had four DECmate III computers when I went to VCF East and now I'm left with only two. Unfortunately, I don't have keyboards or monitors for either and that makes them unusable. Rather than trying to acquire a keyboard and monitor I'm wondering if anyone has tried to replace the boot ROMs to allow either OS/8 or OS/278 to boot using a serial terminal connected to the serial port. Is that even possible? It would be nice to be able to use these machines without a monitor or keyboard. Thanks, David Betz

It's time to register as an exhibitor for VCF 7.0! The dates have been changed from October 30-31 to October 2-3. I wanted to have a Halloween VCF, but it wouldn't work out for too many people, so that idea unfortunately had to be scrapped (though you're still welcome to come dressed up if you'd like). This is less than 3 months away, so get your exhibit figured out and register ASAP! http://www.vintage.org/2004/main/exhibit.php The exhibit categories are going to be re-vamped this year, and all registered exhibitors will receive an update once the new rules and regulations are posted (in another 2 weeks or so). In the meantime, select an appropriate class from the existing ones. Please e-mail me directly if you have any questions. I hope to see at least 50 exhibitors at VCF 7.0 so please sign up!! -- 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 ]

CADAC Motherboard

by marvin＠rain.org

Is anyone familiar with the CADAC Motherboard? I couldn't find any information using Google. It looks like it might be an Apple clone with one slot for the ROM board, and 7 slots for other cards. There is an RCA video output as well as two 1/8" jacks labeled "IN" and "OUT". It has both a Z-80 and a 6502 microprocessor.

Amigas strike back!

by huw.davies＠kerberos.davies.net.au

I was watching the test match from the UK on my local cable provider (Optus) earlier this evening when suddenly the screen went black (loss of sync) to be replaced with an Amiga desktop (in black and white). Looked like a much later release than the version I ran about 15 years ago but still recognizable. I wonder if this was a local Amiga or perhaps (more likely) a desktop in the UK.
