OK, time to clear out more junk. Each of the following is $2.00/each, plus
shipping from 10512:
1) Colecovision steering wheel Expansion Module, with extra joystick.
2) Some sort of 68000 based Western Electric AT&T modem board for a PeeCee
- it actually looks like pretty much a standalone 68K based thing, with
some WE chips and three connections to the outside world. 56K CSU?
3) PeeCee card with four serial ports and three bidirectional parallel
ports, with cables. Unknown maker. For the I/O junkie.
4) AT&T KDB301 keyboard, I think for that Unix PC thing. It has a DE9
connector.
5) Miniscribe model 8425 hard disk on a PeeCee card (Hardcard lookalike).
6) AT&T American Bell (a Baby Bell I never heard of) model EASI-1B
synchronous to asynchronous RS-232 convertor. A true black box of magic.
7) Pre-Borland copy of Brief v1.33 editor, with original disk.
8) Intel PLDshell PLD design software, still sealed. I think this only
does Intel chips, so don't get too excited.
9) Book, using the Horizon Spreadsheet with the Unix Operating System, by
D. H. Beil. A fairly disgusting early 80s spreadsheet.
Stuff is untested (including the book), but generally in decent shape. I
take cash, checks, MOs, Paypal (but NOT to this email account! Please
ask!), coins, favors, and begging. I might add a little on to shipping for
my time ("handling").
First come, first served, but I can change the rules if I either like or
dislike you.

I converted a bunch of IBM ATs into AMD K6-2 machines. And all still run
happily today, whereas others built at the same time made with newer AT
power supplies, all have died, and almost without exception, it has been
either the power supply itself, or something damaged from the power
supply.

Yeah, that's the only big disadvantage it has. Everything else is
great, but here they just screwed up. On VT320, though, there is a
setup option to turn the '`~' key into ESC (putting ESC where it
belongs to the left of 1), move '`~' down to where the screwy '<>'
key is, and put '<>' where they belong on top of ',.'. Needless to
say, that's the mode I use.
Of course what I would really love would be a Classic keyboard with
the original Classic ASCII layout, i.e., ESC immediately to the left
of '1', Ctrl immediately to the left of 'A', separate CR and LF keys,
separate BS and DEL keys, and all of the previous 4 plus BREAK being
in the area where you find Enter and Backspace today. Having the
top row keys in ASCII order would be nice too, as would having the
kbd send ready ASCII down its wire instead of funky scan codes.

Hi
Just remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. So what
if they are all the wrong words? Learn to work with it.

I recently obtained a number of modules from a SAGE AN/FSQ-7
(or-8) computer, and seeing that I will never even come close to thinking
about having the whole thing, I could probably part with one or two.
These are the real deal - complete with the original IBM numbered tubes. I
don't know what the modules do.
I'll trade one (or more) for something interesting (I think most people
know what I like), or maybe sell one or two for a good pile of cash.

Can anyone out there tell me what Burroughs part numbers look like -
specifically the house numbers they used for TTL and such? I have a bunch
of chips with 1471-**** numbers that I strongly suspect are Burroughs ECD
types, but I would like to confirm before I decide if they go to the
refinery.
Pickier question: Did the Burroughs mainframe people use the same house
numbering scheme as the ECD people?

Does anyone know of a free or cheap DOS (i.e. not requiring Win32)
command-line e-mail client? I'd like something that I can use to send off
short messages with just the command line from DOS with TCP/IP drivers
already installed (via MSNC).
I Googled but only found programs for Win32.
Thanks!
