Hi, I have a cad system (Altium), which can convert some formats, maybe I could convert EAGLE files. But, if you tell me, how the final board should be, and its not so much work, I can do it for you and you get Gerber files, which are accepted by most of the PCB manufactures. Cheers Gerhard

Barbie PC

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

Barbie PC's are VERY expandable. They have 4 USB ports (at least the one I have does), so you can easily put a USB hub on there to have even more ports. I've put USB wiireless adapters, USB NIC adapters on my sisters. I've put a 512mb RAM DIMM in it, and put a better CD-ROM drive in it. It came with Windows 98, but runs fine on Windows XP Home or Pro. It's not a top end box at all, but can be a nice Internet/Wordprocessing computer. There was also a Hot Wheels Computer which had a Blue and Yellow case with Flame stickers on it. Changing out the battery is no big deal. I just did that for my sisters unit. They are old and slow, but I'm sure there are lots of uses for them. Al

Might be worth a look. http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/index.php m

Panasonic HHC EPROMs?

by dbetz＠xlisper.com

I have 8 EPROMS in carriers, some MCM68764C and some MCM68766C. I believe they go with the Panasonic HHC but I'm not sure. In any case, I don't have an HHC anymore so I don't need them. Anyone interested? Send me your mailing address off-list and I'll send them to you.

There are more data books buried in those piles of ancient boxes, too... will post as I uncover them. thanks Charles
