I'm buttoning up the 11/45 as the machine is complete & running. I spent the
afternoon making my filler panels clean & a lighter shade (they were a bit
yellow). All I have to do is clean up the cable management inside the rack
and put the back doors on.
However, I find myself one 10.5" DEC H960 filler panel short. Would anyone
have a 10.5" filler panel available?
In trade, I can offer a non-dec H960 filler panel (or two) that is meant to
be attached with velcro. They are very white around the edges, black center.
They look new. Yes, I could use one of these in place of the DEC snap-on
kind but I'd rather not.
Now I just have to figure out exactly how H960 back doors mount on, what
hardware is required, find missing springs & such... :)

Built a number of wireless data apps in the 80s and 90s.
Interested in finding cards, code, APs and anything related from mfgs
like Moto, Windwave, WiLAN, NCR, Proxim, Telxon etc.
Any responses appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
> I beleive (although, like you I've not checked because, also like
>you, I have as little to do with Sinclair machines as possible)....
It's not that I don't appreciate the skilful design work which went into the
ZX-80/81/Spectrum (much of which seems to be cribbed from "The Cheap Video
Cookbook" BTW), it's just that the first machine I had at home was a ZX-80
and programming the thing was a nightmare.
You were constantly having to program "around the system" because of the
"tight" way the hardware and firmware were tied together. It really was a
never ending, uphill battle, to get the thing to do anything useful which
eventually just got plain annoying....
I've not actually touched a Sinclair machine since I got my first Atari in
1983; and I hope never to again.... ;-)

Back here (and at DEC) we used them for RDC (remote diagnostic controller)
also a falcon, a MXV11 or two (serial, rom and ram).

Actually you were right the first time - Windows,
Icons, Mouse and Pull-down menu - or atleast according
to the guy demonstrating the Amiga (1000?) on BBC
Micro Live (from 1984/5). Find the video for it on
YouTube, or i will post the link to it tonight when im
on my laptop. - Andrew B (via mobile phone)

I'm told my mystery box was made by Olivetti. Remember
the unknown box with the "10 inch" drives.

Hello all - I'm just starting to get my collection up online, but I
thought I'd post a pic of one of the more curious items to see if
anyone has ever seen one. I picked it up about ten years ago and was
never able to find anything about it. Now saying that, I just gave it
another Google before posting, and now find the manufacturer Xitron
still exists, and found one quoted passage about the XPT itself.
Perhaps I could contact them for more info. Anyway, here's the link.
Feel free to check out the pics there so far. More coming soon...

Could it be as simple as selecting the hard drive's icon, doing Get
Info and unchecking the locked flag?
Or maybe it has been locked at a lower level than that.

I havent tried another monitor - but its a good idea -

I have a nice Powerlite TurboSparc laptop, which in
general
works great. However - I've noticed that if I connect
an
external monitor, there is a noticable flicker in the
display
when there is HD activity.
I've tried a few things:
1) First I removed the internal 2.5" SCSI disk and
mounted
it in an external Sun shoebox. This made no
difference.
2) I tried an external 3.5" HD (with no internal
drive)
again no difference - so persumably the HD is OK.
3) I tried beefing up the original PSU (2.5Amp) to
5Amp. This
actually reduced the flicker a little, but not much.
Any other ideas? I'm wondering if there is some
suppressor
circuitry on here that is failing in some way?
Other than that, the unit peforms great, and because
of
its compact size - its a nice unit for running older
"vintage" software. The internal LCD panel works fine,
no
flicker is visible on that.
Thanks in advance.
Ian.
