I didn't see no smiley. I guess you'll just have to drive your ass up here (nh.us) from tx.us. There's still snow on the ground - hurry and I'll teach you how to ski while you're here.

I have a few sets (and their RL02's). I just removed 2 from a 4-disk PDP-11/23 configuration. Open to trade ideas.

LOL. Brilliant. Saw a nice article today that calls cellphone owners to help astronomers to receive signals from the Huygens space probe (now on the moon Titan of Saturn). Here is the (free) translation: AMSTERDAM - Astronomers are asking the help of Dutch and Belgium cellphone owners to receive the extremely weak radio signals of the European space probe Huygens. Huygens is since 14th of January on the Saturn moon Titan. Allthough it was thought that Huygens after its descend on parachutes would only survive a few minutes there are clues that the probe is still active. Astronomers all over the world want to pick up Huygens' radiosignal as soon as possible, because any day could be the last that the probe still has sufficient energy. In order to receive the weak radiosignal astronomers call in the help of the people. Using cellphones, measurements can be done because cellphones are sensitive to radio signals. Cellphones communicate via repeaters with telecom satellites. Since these satellites reflect the signal back to the earth surface, groundstations for satellite communication, but also radio astronomers observatories, who have often bigger dish antennas, can receive the weak signals. By cooperating all cellphones, Holland and Belgium can form a gigantic radiotelescope. If people go on to the streets and aim their cellphone between 12.30 and 13.00 hours in east direction, those tens of thousends cellphones work together as one big radio mirror. The weak Huygens signal reflects via space back to the east of our (Holland) country where it can be picked up by out VLA synthesis radio telescope. The amplified signal will enable this radio telescope to receive the Huygens signal loud and clear. It is hoped that astronomers can find out what happened to the probe in the last few months by this amplification. <end trandslation> Here is the URL to the article (in Dutch of course) http://www.nu.nl/news/504049/81/Zwak_signaal_Huygens_opvangen_met_mobieltjes .html keep your eyes open! - Henk. > From: "Gooijen H" <GOOI at oce.nl> > Subject: RE: searching for a set of RL02 slides > > > > Damn, I've been fooled by Edward! <grumble-grumble> > > Today is April 1st, and that is the day that everybody tries > > to fool everybody in Holland.

From a friend of mine to the LEM Swap list: From: Kyle Hansen <pixie at speakeasy.net> Date: Fri Apr 1, 2005 1:36:58 AM US/Pacific To: "LEM Swap List" <lem-swap at mail.maclaunch.com> Subject: [swap] FS. Original Apple One LEM-Swap is for buying & selling Mac stuff. It is not a discussion list. See the FAQ <http://lowendmac.com/lists/swap.html> for guidelines on postings, feedback, and dispute resolution. -------------------- Here are the specs. The case is made out of wood and I can't find a mouse for it. I originally paid $666 for it so I am hoping to get my money back. CPU: MOS Technology 6502 CPU Speed: 1 MHz FPU: none Bus Speed: 1 MHz Data Path: 8 bit Onboard RAM: 8 kB Maximum RAM: 32 kB VRAM: 1 kB Maximum Resolution: 60.05 Hz, 40x24 char Power: 58 Watts It doesn't offer much in the way of upgrade capabilities. I think that you can install OS 10.3 on it using a utility from Ryan Rempel but you have to find a CD drive first. Best offer takes it. Shipping from 94501. Kyle Hansen The first lemming to lead his peers off the cliff is a bold and decisive leader.

Sparc5 bits wanted

The only spare memory I've got is PC100 (may even be PC66) > 168-pin DIMMS. The memory is almost unique. I have some of it in small-stick size (32M sticks I think - the smaller of the two that work). The disks are SCA interface normal SCSI with a special disk carrier - I have both. You can stick a serial terminal on port A and if there is no keyboard attached it will default to serialA as the system console. >>> I'm in the US but I bought a whole box of 50 brackets for $20. I could send you one. Take this guy up on his offer- I don't have that many as spare. >Assuming it does work does anyone have a floppy and CD spare for this thing? Normal SCSI CDROM with 512 byte block option (plextors are beautiful for this). The SS5, esp. with the 170mhz processor, is a lovely example of early Sun SPARC processor technology. The last of the 32 bitters and an example of good clean design. All my Suns are 64 bit, with an Ultra 60 as my high-end workstation, but I keep a few SS5's around just because they are so neat.
