Bought a 4GB USB stick today, and guess what...

by jos.mar＠bluewin.ch

.. the ( single) flash chip in it is a "HY27UV08" Either someone at Hynix has a sense of humour, or they have run right out of IC codes and have come full circle to 2708 again. Jos

Amiga 1000

by chrism3667＠yahoo.com

does anyone operate one of these? That is does anyone favor this machine over any of the later models? Commercially ISTR it being a flop, so that might seem like a strange question, but there is no lack of strange birds on this list. If you know what I mean LOL LOL! Hey maybe I'm stranger then the rest of you birds LOL LOL LOL! anyhow interested in the thoughts that find this unit particularly enjoyable. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut!

For trade: SGI Iris 4D/310VGX

by silent700＠gmail.com

It's time to clear some space and say goodbye to an unfinished project. my SGI Iris 4D/310VGX. She's a double-wide deskside cabinet, I believe with an R3000 33mhz CPU. The power supply is dead, having traded her good PSU to revive a somewhat more alluring SGI Crimson. There are no hard drives or hard drive sleds. There is a CPU card, RAM card and video card. The external plastics are in pretty good shape; some scratches here and there. The clasp on the front door might be cracked, but the hinges are good and it stays closed with tape. A fine project for revival or as a parts machine for another SGI. I really don't want to part it out myself; I'd like the whole machine gone. So that probably means local pick-up only, since it's a back-breaker. I'm in Palatine, IL, northwest of Chicago. I'd like to trade for.....well pretty much anything smaller than the Iris. Any token cool item is fine. If no one has anything for trade, I'm sure I'll end up giving it away. -j -- silent700.blogspot.com Retrocomputing and collecting in the Chicago area: http://chiclassiccomp.org

AMSTRAD PCW8256 systems & sw available

by speedracer005＠mac.com

My dad is 82, a retired College Professor, he owns a Amstrad PCW 8256 and his printer is broken. The printer head doesn't seem to go anywhere so it can't print. Is there someone in the USA that you know of that can help me, we are in California. If you do not know of anyone in the USA is there a way you can direct me to someone I can buy parts from that speaks english or at least can communicate through email in english. thank you, Steve Martin

How easy is it to damage an IBM CGA display?

by mbbrutman-cctalk＠brutman.com

I'm having a bad day here .. I mistook an IBM Industrial CGA display for a monochrome display, and plugged it into a monochrome display adapter port. There was no smoke or funny noises, but it definitely did not work. I've heard stories about the IBM monochrome displays being fragile when mishandled like this. Were the IBM CGA displays also this fragile? (I won't be able to test it until I dig out a CGA card. And now of course I'm just paranoid and hoping that I didn't hurt it.) Mike

Hi, > Correct. There are certainly 525-line PAL standards. And >it wouldn't suprise me if there wasn't a 625-line colour >system using NTSC-lke encoding. As an aside, isn't (wasn't?) France's SECAM system broadcast with something like 800 lines? TTFN - Pete.

ebay: Are these PDP-8 boards?

by legalize＠xmission.com

Item # 320190208819 They look too small to be Qbus and the module numbers are all 3 digits, whereas all the Qbus and UNIBUS module board numbers I've seen had 4 digits. This looks like a good deal for someone looking for spare flip-chip modules or maybe someone who wants to reverse engineer this pile of flip-chip modules and wire-wrapped backplane to figure out what it used to do :-) -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
