Mr. DePermentier,
I apologize for not mentioning this originally.
The only jumper settings possible on the "C" drive are Device 0, Device 1
and Cable Select.
Sorry for the omission.

I have had a few people comment on the price of the Altair Kit. Currently
it takes a LOT of time to prepare a kit because of the amount of small
parts involved. (resistors, capacitors, IC sockets).
I am considering a kit that contains only custom parts and parts that get a
big benefit from quantity orders. For example, I would ONLY include the
case, power supplies, PCBs, ICs, switches, wire, and fasteners.
I would provide a BOM with parts, quantity, and DigiKey part numbers (for
the exact parts I would have bought)
Making this change reduces the number of parts in the kit from 820 to 124. :)
The overall price would go down because of the parts not included, and even
more for handling.
I want to price it so I don't loose money, but also make it available to
more people. What is the price threshold you would have on buying one of
these things?

Anybody done business with eBay seller Alexandra Carter (alexandracarter)?
She used a very neat trick on me.
I bought an HP 5036A Microprocessor Lab 8-Bit Computer from her
(eBay 160080545681) and paid for it with a money order which was
received on Feb. 3, 2006 (USPS tracking number 0103 8555 7499 5332
2386).
She then claimed to have sent the HP 5036A via USPS but has not
produced a tracking number despite the fact that I specifically had
asked for one.
Anyway, when I pressured her about the item, she filled a non-payment
dispute against me, to prevent me from posting negative feedback
on her.
This is despite the fact that on Feb 9, she sent me an eBay message
(sitting in my eBay messages folder) confirming receipt of payment.
I have been told that she has pulled this stunt before on another
buyer and only delivered the goods when he threatened filing a
USPS mail fraud complaint.
So watch out for Alexandra Carter despite her 98.6% feedback rating.

I have a Packard-Bell 486 machine on which I am installing a second hard
drive. The machine has the Phoenix BIOS v1.01, and uses DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1.
The "C" drive is an IBM hard drive with a capacity of 1215 MB. The Ontrack
v7.09 Disk Manager software is installed on it to allow the use of a hard
drive greater than ~528 MB. At present the jumpers on that drive are set to
"cable select".
The hard drive I am trying to fit to this machine as "D" is a Western
Digital Caviar 14300. The Wester Digital Part Number is AC14300-00RTT1.
The new drive has jumper settings for SLAVE, NASTER and SINGLE, but so far
as I can tell, none for "cable select."
At present, the BIOS does not recognize the existence of the new drive.
My questions:
1) How do I set this new drive for "cable select"?
2) Will wrong BIOS settings caues the drive's existence to not be recognized?
Thanks,
Kurt
How many "solder masters" are on this discussion group? I've seen some
mention of newer types of solder (lead free?). I've also seen mention and
used one type of water soluble flux (BTW, I really liked it).
I've been using Kester "44" .031 solder for years (for small work). However,
I've got a project that I'd like to have every advantage possible (as far as
having good, clean soldered connections).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I wonder if the lead-free stuff has a higher
melting temperature? BTW, I'm using a WTCPT soldering station.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Robert Greenstreet

An explanation of why they find printing the data inconvenient or
frightening does not negate the fact that it would be nice to have.
All this talk of Kennedy's reminds me...
any chance of connecting old--recent old to old old--Kennedy 9tracks to
a PC?
Or has anyone taken any surplus 9tracks and run them on PC's?
Or, how about a 9track with GPIB/HPIB interface--any with Amigo or SS80
command set?
(I really would like to see what I've forgotten on my tapes...)
