Mac disks needed

by rcini＠optonline.net

All: Does anyone have a working copy of the original MacTerminal (one disk) and disk 2 of the Microsoft Basic Interpreter that maybe they can make a StuffIt archive of? I'm doing some playing around today on my day off and discovered that my disks are bad. Thanks again!

What are your favorite electronic/computer surplus stores in the Bay area

by GFisher＠tristonecapital.com

Hi Everyone, I'm coming in to Mountain View this Friday (from Calgary, Canada) for VCF 8.0 and I was wondering what are people's favorite computer/electronic surplus stores to visit. I remember a tread about it many months ago but I'll be damned if I can't find it. Many thanks! Gary Fisher This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.

FS: Macs for VCF

by marvin＠rain.org

A friend of mine has a number of Macintoshs that he says work. If anyone wants to buy one, let me know and I can bring it (them) up. He wants $20.00 each for them and that includes the keyboard and mouse. The ones I saw were the Mac SE, Mac SE/30, Mac Classic, and Mac Plus. He has a Mac 128K but it has been modified (the back is for a Mac 512K, and I don't know what board is installed.)

Last Chance on Ergo Brick computer

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

I take it that no one has a extra Ergo Brick computer that they would like to sell to this law firm that contacted me looking to buy mine. I only have the one and do not want to sell it to them or anyone. There is a big patent suit going on and they need to open up one to see how a certain part works to help them (or hurt them) in the law suit. Please contact me offline at jrkeys at concentric.net. Thanks

Good source for write-protect/enable tabs

I've done that once and it wasn't enough. You need to remember that many drive use infrared LED's that shine right through things we would think were opaque. I find what works best is simply use a small piece of aluminum foil and a slightly larger piece a clear tape. One could even make up a batch of them and put then in a handy place. Dwight

ATTENTION: Atari GURUs....

by RMeenaks＠olf.com

Hi, Quick question, is there any way to use an atari ST cartridge (which in this case is a hardware box that connects via the cartrige slot) in a PC? I know there are several people who dump ROM cartridges so that it can be used in an emulator, but I want to actually CONNECT the cartridge into the PC and use the hardware via an emulator. Is this possible? Any "bridges" available out there? Thanks, Ram
