These are both available in Lincoln, Nebraska. The IBM is a wide-carriage dot-matrix printer. The Xerox is basically just a fancy typewriter, but it looks like there's a panel on the back where you might have been able to install a computer interface; not sure. Available for pickup, or shipping if you pay for packing and shipping. Let me know within the next couple of days, or they hit the recycle bin.

According to Expedia, Minneapolis to SF is $255 round trip (leaving on
11/4 returning on 11/6) and Minneapolis to SJ is $332. Second tier
airlines (then again, these days what's the difference), but pretty
cheap considering the payoff once you get to VCF. Of course you have to
drive from Hibbing (childhood home of Bob [Zimmerman] Dylan, by the way)
to the big city first, which is a bit of a trek, but there's always Camp
Snoopy at Mall of America to even further justify the trip.
item #5238755361.

Since I want to hook up to a 9-track tape drive, I would consider this
request on-topic...
I have this old Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460C PCMCIA card. I have no cable.
I've seen two styles of card and cable - this one seems to be a
tongue-and-groove, not single-row-of-pins. If I'm counting correctly,
it looks like 26 pins (13 on each side of the plastic divider).
Long ago, I found the other style of connector on a SCSI cable for $5
at Dayton. I'd be happy to find one of these for twice that. ;-)
Anyone have a dead PCMCIA SCSI card, or a mystery SCSI cable in a bin
that they've always wondered what it went to?
Thanks,

Washington Apple Pi (http://www.wap.org) in Rockville,
MD is one of the oldest Apple user groups in the US
and will be downsizing their storage area over the
course of the next 10 days. That means we will have
to either find new homes for dozens of macintosh and
Apple computers, parts and accessories (printers, hard
drives, etc.) or send them to the local recycling
center.
Please let me know if you would like additional
information and I'll put you in touch with the people
triaging the computer area. The stuff has to move and
will be gone by September 15.
Regards,
- Mike

For the second time in years, I've obtained a copy of the SGI Hardware
Developers Handbook, Release 2.0 (05/97).
This book covers all SGI products from the earliest Personal Iris through the
Origin 2000/Onyx2. It details Chassis; Interfaces (serial, keyboard, mouse,
parallel, disk drive, monitors, memory, graphics, video, audio, CPU, Bus,
backplanes, network connectors, I/O Panel Plates, Drive Sleds); "hinv" output
descriptions (complete); Software & Hardware tools, etc.
This book was created for SGI hardware designers - but is a terrific source of
information for all SGI buffs and collectors. The copy I picked up years ago
is worn from a great deal of use!!!
The copy I just obtained is brand new - with no markings or scratches other
than one very minor nick on the bottom of the front cover.
Before I put it on "ePay", I decided to offer it to this list first via the
Vintage Computer Marketplace:
http://www.vintagecomputermarketplace.com/bid.cfm?ad=2009
I normally would not post my own auction item on this list - but this is one
of those great finds that one seldom gets an opportunity to pick up...
Cheers,
Lyle

"Black holes are where God is dividing by zero"
Does anyone have the manual or workbook for a DEC Computer Lab, which is a classroom logic trainer that was made by DEC back in the late 1960s? I recently acquired two of these interesting little pieces of computing history, along with the patch cords. I'd like to have the manual so I can learn more about it.
Thanks,
Ashley

Personally, I would avoid liquid photoresist and use dry film in its
place. You could contact Fred at Far Circuits
(http://www.farcircuits.net/) as he will supply boards precoated with
dry film photoresist. URL for supplies is
http://www.farcircuits.net/supplies.htm. According to the site, he will
supply 0.047 material laminated with Dupont PM115 photo resist film.
Big box, 11" x 13" x 24", full of original boxed Amiga games.
Worms, Lemmings, Adams Family and many more.
Collect or postage from Midlands, UK.
