What, fixing Windows telnet to actually conform to the spec? Yes,
that's quite a project. :-)

Gimme a break; this "project" merely involves getting the free HypertermPE
upgrade from Hilgraeve. Fixes the local echo bug and works just fine.

Keep in mind that this time around it won't be so hard- just attach two
nylon strings to the
coax, pull it out, attach your fiber or UTP to one of the strings and
pull it up. Leave the
other string in the wall if you ever need a second line.

I still have this slick Nakamichi 7 disk scsi CD changer with audio outputs
on the back. Something like MBR-7?? I wish I had a killer application for
it. I wonder if it has enough front panel control to use it as an audio CD
player without connecting to the scsi bus at all-- something like I'm doing
with my NEC Multispin 6x caddy type CD drive. I have it connected to my
stereo, via coax digital audio out. I only have 4 or 5 caddies laying
around though.

All:
I was doing some closet-cleaning in the shop this weekend and
came across a few things I have no use for any longer or were bought for
projects that never got off the ground (and probably won't). If anyone's
interested in anything, please email me off list. Shipping to the US only is
not included. Trades considered.
* Seagate 9gb full-height SCSI hard drive (new but unused/untested);
ST940800N: $10
* Compaq-badged external DLT drive 5/10gb (SCSI-I; working last time
used): $25
* Panasonic 616 phone system with 4 keysets (untested but bought
working). I have manuals in electronic form: $50
* STD-BUS 14-slot card cage with assortment of cards (2 analog, 2
digital, 2 relay, Z80 CPU and DSKY. May have other cards in it).
I think I have docs for most of the cards and a disassembly of the ROM. NASA
surplus. All cards should work but it was some sort
of data acquisition or process control system so I never finished fully
decoding the ROM to see what it did. $75
* SpareTimeGizmos SB6120 PDP-8 fully built and working in a Lucite
case. All that's needed is 5v adapter. Includes CF adapter
and 16mb CF card with four disk images. $250 (reflects actual costs of
partial kit and parts I bought).
* TI-74 BASIC-Calc system. Includes unit, PC324 printer and AC
adapter. I will also include CD of random information and programs
that I had collected. $40.
I'm looking specifically for a Tandy CM-1 color monitor for my Tandy 2000
and a small self-contained PC/104 SBC (stand-alone -- not for use with a
backplane) with at least a 486 CPU. I'm also looking for an older Mac Mini
(1.42ghz version with Airport/Bluetooth).
Thanks.

Oh my, what am I going to do with these MDI SCSI CD boxes? I have 3 or 4 of
them, each one containing seven CD-ROM drives, a power supply, and some
kind of logical unit controller, so all 7 drives appear a LUNs under one
SCSI address.
The drives are Toshiba XM-5301B, a 4x tray-type (doesn't need caddies) that
works sideways or in the more usual orientation.
Specs here, from http://www.netcomdirect.com/tosxm4xfonco.html
CD-ROM Mode 1 -data discs
CD-ROM Mode 2 - data discs
CD-DA audio discs
CD-DA/ROM - Mixed mode/combined
CD-ROM XA and Photo CD (Single and Multisession)
CD-Bridge (White book, Video CD)
CD-I, CD-I ready
The cabinets are 17" but with ears for std rack mount, 7 inches high, depth
behind the rack 20 inches.
Anyone (local) want some? Anyone got any ideas what to DO with them?

I'm having a ton of trouble saving a program on a cassette tape using
Altair 680 basic. Was there a KCACR basic made without the CSAVE
command? My basic appears to have a CSAVE command, but it won't accept the
name!!!!! : (
I'm sending this to two groups. I've been at this problem for hours
now... : (
I'll post a transcript below. Let me know what I'm doing wrong! : (

TM is a type mismatch error. SM is for a command it doesn't
understand. Watch...

AHHHH!

AHHHH! A

Am I wrong assuming that because it gives me a TM error instead of SN that
it is "trying" to work? I get the same things for CLOAD... How in the
world are you supposed to save something to tape! : (
If I have the wrong version of basic, anyone have the right one? What will
it take for me to get a copy! : ) (first smile in this e-mail... ; ) )
Thanks,
Grant
