I'm working on a research project for a client and am looking for a large
lot of mid-90s laptops.
They do not need to be in functional condition, nor do they even need to
look pretty, but the screen should be intact (i.e. not missing, no
breakage). Otherwise, missing parts (keys, drives, batteries, etc.) is
fine.
I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee plus shipping for each. If you have
any of these, please e-mail me directly.

So here I am... doing backups of an 80GB Maxtor drive when it craps out in
the _middle_ of the backup. :-(
>From my digging around this morning, there appears to be a problem reading
the reserved area that results in it being detected by the BIOS as a "Maxtor
ROMULUS" (the class of drive).
>From further digging, it appears that I won't be able to shake this thing
loose without professional help. I got 25GB of data off of it before it
died, but since I don't have a directory, I can't even evaluate if it's
worth $$$ to get the rest.
So... before I proceed, I was curious who on the list has used professional
data recovery services, and who does a good job at a good price. I've already
written to a company in N.Z. that has a base rate of under $300 NZ + recovery
media (DVD-R, CD-R, blank drive...) I've seen companies ask 400 Eur. and
up to $700 US.
Obviously, I'm not in a hurry now... it's still about 2 months to the first
plane.
Thanks,
-ethan

I have a TRS80 Model 12 that's been upgraded to a 16B (with two 8" slim-line floppies). I am trying to copy some discs but not having much joy.
One theroy is the media is cactus.
The other theory is that following some reading about these machines, because of the size of the drives they tended to get out of alignment regularly. How do I check alignment on the old classics.
TIA!!!

Hi
Another thing to try that I've used is melted butter.
It seems to work well on removing grim on textured surfaces.
I don't know if margarine will work because I've never
tried it.

I have a Commodore 1080 monitor (Amiga branded, non-stereo version) and the
original cardboard box. The box and monitor have matching serial number
stickers. I've saved the box for a while for completeness's sake, but now
I want to get rid of it. Maybe someone has a loose 1080 they want to trade
for a "1080 with original packaging"?
The monitor was working the last time I tried it, and I will test it again
if anyone is interested. The front panel hinge is intact. The box is a little
scuffed/torn but not ripped to shreds. There is a noticeable tear along one
side. I do not have any documentation, cables, styrofoam, bags, etc.
In trade I will accept a working Commodore/Amiga 1080/1084/1902/S/whatever.
I am in the Los Angeles area and am willing to deliver/pick up within a
reasonable radius. I'm willing to ship, but I'll be slow and you'll have to
pay shipping.
OK, so it's a long shot, but is anyone interested?

Hi
This track is created by having two signals recorded a half
track apart. One signal has one extra cycle in it per revolution
of the disk. This makes the cats eye pattern when the two signals
add together in the head.
Another method used was to microstep 5 times across the track
with a tone. The tone centers on the track would be the highest.
If you take my ascii art and lay it on its side, that would be
what u see on a scope:

A misaligned track might look like:

This tended to look more blocky than smooth like the cats eye
pattern but didn't require a tone to be exactly one cycle different
per revolution of the disk. One could make there own disk
like this with a micro stepping controller for the stepper
and a micrometer to set the track position relative to the center
of the disk.

Hello list,
Anybody can give an authoritative answer as to the difference between a 11/03 and a 11/03-L?
What I can gather is that the 11/03 used a BA11-M/H9270 (4-slots) while the 11/03-L used a BA11-N/H9273 (9-slots).
Another important thing is that the DEC logo is different! :-)
On the 11/03 the font used is the regular lower-case font, while on the 11/03-L the font used looks like uppercase Avant Garde..

Hello List,
Help. I rescued a Mac SE, mouse, and keyboard. My problem is it has the 800k low-density diskette drive and a wiped hard drive. I don’t have a Mac compatible drive needed to create the boot disks.
Would anyone have a set of boot disks?
Sincerely and thank you in advance,
David
