I obtained a socket 7 SBC from Weirdstuff late last fall. It has the capability of interfacing to a *variety* of lcd dislplays. Phor phun I had in mind to *hopefully* connect these old Thinkpad panels dating fron the 770c (IINM) era. The sbc manual gives a pinout, so my basic question is are these things (lcd's) generic enough in the way they interface to be able to use *most any* source of signals. The sbc uses a C & T 65550 ic, and their are drivers for W3.1, WNT? (3.51 methinks...book not in front of me), and of course beloved W95. You can set jumpers according to what *type* of panel yer using, according to resolution, etc. I can scan the relevant pages and e-mail them if anyone is curious.

MS Network and DOS - was - Source of nifty switches?

I've used it successfully in the past for various reasons, and DOS of course doesn't support long names, it is fully functional as a client (and with some tricks, a server) in the MS networking realm. If you are interested in experimenting, Google for "DOS MSClient". I'd make this site my first stop: http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/samba/dos.html and view the "Network Client for DOS" section. With just a few tricks, you can actually get the DOS machine to act as a file server, too. All is explained in Jacco's discussion. BTW, I've used both the TCP/IP and IPX stacks with DOS clients. For those that have a truly warped sense of humor, you can make your XT (or even a HD-less PC) into a HTTP and FTP server. Check out these two sites: http://8088.eznos.org http://www.eznos.org Makes for some real geeky entertainment on a slow evening with nothing else to do! Jared

Parallel port bandwidth

by aek＠bitsavers.org

I've observed pulses in the 100-200ns range on an PowerMac using a PCI parallel port card and a three instruction bit twiddle. You need to remove the filter caps on the I/O connector to use it at that speed.

Was anyone else at HOPE this weekend?

by evan＠snarc.net

We had a nice booth for MARCH on the first floor of the conference, manned by myself, Bill Degnan, Bill Sudbrink, and Sridhar Ayengar. We met LOTS of cool people and lots of people who are collectors but they just didn't know it yet. :) Were any other classiccmp'ers there?

Fluke 87 calibration?

by technobug＠comcast.net

[...hack...] The manual is on the Fluke web site and includes calibration procedures. However, Fluke has a van that tours all the major cities and provides a cal check for any meter you bring in. Yearly I help a friend tote all his toys down and have them tested - it's free! Check with your local Fluke distributor and see if you are so blessed. CRC
