IBM 4247 Printer & Xerox 627 MemoryWriter Available

by bill＠timeguy.com

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.

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.

Adaptec 1460C cable?

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

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, -ethan

Mac/Apples available in Rockville, MD. Cheap, going to the trash!

by tosteve＠yahoo.com

>From comp.sys.apple2 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.

SGI Hardware Developer Handbook, Release 2.0 available...

by lbickley＠bickleywest.com

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...

DEC Computer Lab

by wacarder＠earthlink.net

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

Homebrew Circuit Boards: Methods? Supplies?

by marvin＠rain.org

> From: Jeff Walther > In fact, I have not been able to find precoated board (photoresist > coated) in the .050" thickness. So I will either need to use a > liquid photoresist or try a toner transfer system. 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.
