Are you still looking for a ET-1000 trainer? I have one in very good condition. I was about to put it on ebay. I sold my last one for about $45.00. Let me know if you are interested. -Bob

Would anybody know of any CP/M Libraries for the i8231 or AM9511 Math Processor ?

by ragooman＠comcast.net

Would anybody know of any CP/M Libraries for the i8231 or AM9511 Math Processor ? This is on the Compupro SS-1 card which I'm using in my IMSAI system. I like to upgrade my system to include any Libraries that may be available. Then I could program with Fortran or any other compiler which is supported. I'm currently using machine code to fiddle with programming this. The manual only has test code for this card and doesn't mention any reference to a Library being available for CP/M. So I was hoping it was created separately during that time. thanks, =Dan -- [ Pittsburgh 250th --- http://www2.applegate.org/~ragooman/ ]

Do you really have no old 12" monchrome portable TVs/monitors around? I am sure you could find a CRT that would work. ---------------------------- I've got a number of CRTs here, white/green/amber, new/used, various sizes, if the OP's serious, but I'm not sure how I'd safely ship one. m

UPS Store has me annoyed

I work for a freight company; 36 x 22 x 20" boxes cost us $11.75 each, when purchased in quantities of 50 or more. We order full rolls of large-bubble bubble-wrap at aroudn $45 / roll; 1/4 roll would cost you about $11.25. I'd say the price for packing is reasonable, taking into account labor, and their markup. If you're going to ship this type of equipment, it's best to get a rough quote first, and simply advise the buyer that he is responsible for all shipping costs. Yeah, it's nice to have an exact dollar amount ahead of time, but the only way that's going to happen is if you take your photos first, have the unit boxed up, and then post it for sale. Alternately, you can buy the materials yourself; U-haul has an interesting selection of boxes, and also carries rolls of bubble wrap. That has the added benefit of knowing that your item is adequately packed. T

[Ottawa, Canada] Sale of working Columbia 1600-VP

by falbert＠rogers.com

To make space I am having to part with the above computer. Condition is "Good - Working" (i.e. no parts missing, a few scuff marks and other signs of wear. Boots up and runs fine.) I have just tested it using Communique 3.1 (an old DOS word processing package) and - after adjusting a few keys in the keyboard - it works fine. Description Columbia 1600-VP by Columbia Data Products Date of Manufacture 2-84 Rev J Serial Number 13136A Portable (luggable 35 lbs/16Kg) IBM clone 9" green monitor 2 5.25 (360K) disk drives 128K memory Other info on the 1600 can be found at: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=889 I have a boot disk for it and several word processing programs (it was used to teach word processing). I also have well over 100 5.25 disks as well. I'd be happy to include these for no additional charge. Any reasonable offer plus shipping will be considered.

UPS Store has me annoyed

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

I went down to the local UPS store to have an Osborne Executive double-boxed for shipping to its new owner. I previously had this store double box two IMSAIs and two Altairs. Each time it cost around $35 to do it. This time it was way out of line. First, they were out of big bubbles, so they had to use lots more of the little bubbles to get two-inches of padding all the way around. Second, the prices of their boxes is astronomical. A 30x30x20 outer carton cost $12. The inner carton cost $8. The total just for packing this computer came to $68. The computer itself sold for $55. -- 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. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
