free BA11 shell, RA81 shell, 9-track tape cleaner; Boston area

by brad＠heeltoe.com

I'm moving out of my old rented garage (into a new garage :-) and I have two things to give away (for pickup) in the Boston area. - BA11 cabinet which is solid but missing various power supplies. It was ` once an expansion cab for an 11/730. I think it is 1/2 full of backplane. - RA81 which is missing an HDA. I think it has everything else. - nice 1/2" 9-track tape cleaner device; good for retentioning also (I ended up with two of these and don't need two) If anyone would like these let me know. Local pick up only. -brad

I have several hundred various disks for this series of computers. If I don't reply soon, remind me. I tend to get a little flakey. Kelly

TRS-80 M16b board identification...

by derschjo＠msu.edu

Amongst some TRS-80 Model 16 parts I picked up this past weekend is a board I can't identify. It's labeled as a "Tandy 16B Adapter", PCA 00717000 REV 0. It doesn't seem to have much on it, a few TTL chips and a 50 pin connector. I put a pic up at: http://yahozna.dyndns.org/scratch/IMG_0165.JPG Anyone know what it is? Thanks, Josh

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

I have six LMR-1300 and seven LM-D501W 5.25" magneto-optical disks that I want to be rid of ASAP. They're yours for cost of shipping. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

C++ (was Re: Further PERQ Emulator progress

by cclist＠sydex.com

It used to be a genuine item of concern in X3J3 (FORTRAN), and, for all I know, other X3 standards committees, whether the role of the committee was to certify and clarify existing practice or to extend the language. Fortunately, a lot of people back in the days of F77 remembered what a nightmare PL/I turned out to be. By the time of F90 (was supposed to have been F88), that had been largely forgotten. That awful word "deprecated" seems to spell doom for a language, as in "EXAMINE is deprecated; we're going to give you a new verb, INSPECT, with about fifty jillion new options that you'll never remember anyway." COBOL was never the same after that. It always seemed to me that the C++ people never even had the discussion. For what it's worth, I do use C++ for some projects, but it's generally at the level that C++ was when C++ was pretty much a standalone preprocessor for a C compiler. Cheers, Chuck

ISO Interleaf for SunOS

by aek＠bitsavers.org

CHM has a large collection of HP 1000 documents on tape in Interleaf format It would be nice to convert these to Postscript/PDF. Does someone have an old copy of Interleaf that would run on a Sun box (like a SparcStation)?

Commodore 64 Power Supply

by sethm＠loomcom.com

I'm sure most everyone who has ever used a C64 is aware of just how phenomenally bad the Commodore power supply is. I have only one C64, but both of my spare Commodore power supplies have now failed, taking a few 4164 RAM chips with them (thankfully, I have replacements!). Does anyone know of a commercially available replacement power supply, before I go off and build one? A linear supply would be trivial to design, but I've never done a switching power supply, which I suppose would be greatly preferable. The trick with the C64 is that it requires both 9V AC and +5V DC. (I've considered frankensteining together 9V AC and +5V DC wall-wart adapters onto the same DIN-7 cable, but it just feels so very very wrong). I'd love to hear from other Commie fans who've solved the power problem. -Seth

I have seven Panasonic LM-D501W disks (940 MB) and six LMR1300 (1.3 GB, MDI and Verbatim) magneto-optical disks available for $5 each plus shipping. They're used, but seem okay. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
