CGA monitor, 486 motherboards, cases, psu's, etc - W. Orange, NJ pickup

by jay_k_wood＠yahoo.com

Referred here by Lord Nightmare... I have a Princeton Graphics 12" CGA monitor, as well as a bunch of old 486 motherboards, CPUs, cases, PSUs, memory, etc. that I don't need/want. They are free to anyone willing to pick them up in West Orange, NJ. Please contact me at jay_k_wood at yahoo.com as I don't subscribe to this list. ---- "If I want to be free from any other man's dictation, I must understand that I can have no other man under my control." -- William Graham Sumner (1840-1910)

Fujistu 600lpm band printer available

by ian_primus＠yahoo.com

I've got a superfluous 600lpm Fujitsu band printer that would like a new home. Currently located in Niskayuna, NY 12309. It's a big printer, and pretty heavy. I can get exact measurements if anyone needs them, but it's bigger than a washing machine. Wide carriage, 132 columns, and as far as I know, it works - it worked last time it was used, and probably even got a tuneup at the time. This was kept as a spare for a customer that used one. Problem is, that the customer's printer never really broke. These things are workhorses. I hate to see it get scrapped, but I just don't need it, and don't have space to store it. Give your cats a nice, humming, warm place to sleep! Adopt a line printer today! -Ian

I don't find it at all surprising that there would be a large crossover between amateur radio and this list. I got involved with electronics and radio before computers were affordable for personal work. I got my novice ticket in 1972, but let it languish and sold off my Heathkit equipment over the years. With the removal of Morse code requirements and web sites like www.qrz.com I got my General class ticket a little over a year ago. I only had to study up on the some recent stuff and dust off some old neurons. Dave. W1MMX

Lots of packet radio gear out there for older computers. I've got a PackRat-64 (Commodore) interface I'd like to set up some day. And of course, any device with a serial port and comms software can interface to a TNC box. This reminds me of a very common salesman's pitch when I'm caught eyeing any old computer at hamfests: "Great For Packet!" -j

Wall warts; was: hams on classiccmp

Then I replace the fuse (if blown and so equipped), or replace the rectifiers or filter cap, or whatever. Then I tape the rascal back together. If the xfmr winding is open, out it goes.

Years back, I spent weeks trying to learn Morse code for a technician. My wife, listening over my shoulder while she read, picked it up far better than I did. On the way to the exam, I taught her V = I R and a few key frequencies, and urged her to take the test too. Fortunately for me, the very kind and encouraging Elmers running the test urged her to give it a shot as well. She copied completely clean Morse Code, I squeaked by with about 72%. I aced the technical stuff, she squeaked by with about 72%. We got successive call signs, KB6UOH and KB6UOI. (How romantic, eh? Together we make a good ham.) Someday we really ought to get a radio or two and *exercise* those privileges. Or hook one or more of our classic systems up to one, that would be even cooler. Maybe even on-topic. 73 de KB6UOH -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.

FREE: misc small hardware (mostly SUN)

by bob＠copenhagen.cuug.ab.ca

Greetings all, I'm afraid I don't follow this list much any more so I don't know if anything on the following list will be of any interest to anybody. Since I can't bear to throw it away (sorry: recycle it...) without at least asking, here I am. It is all small stuff and all I want in return is however much it costs for me to ship it to the recipient. Without further ado: 1 x Monitor Miser for SUN keyboard/mouse (gizmo that controls monitor AC power based on user activity) 2 x SUN DIN -> audio in/out cables (probably Sparc LX related) 2 x Female 13W3 - Male VGA adapter cables (approx. 18" long) 1 x 13W3 M - M (basic SUN monitor cable) 1 x VGA M - F (extension) cable (approx. 6' long) 1 x M VGA - RGBVH BNC cable 2 x M 13W3 - RGB + sync (?) BNC cables (probably for older SUN monitors) 1 x 13W3 M - F (extension) cable 1 x F 13W3 -> M VGA adapter plug (may be from SGI) 1 x Apple MIDI adapter (really ancient) 1 x SparcBook 3 AC adapter 1 x SparcBook 3 SCSI adapter cable 1 x Sparc 10 external speaker 1 x SUN power supply (PN 300-1038-04 - Sparc 2?) 1 x SUN power supply (PN 300-1055-05 - Sparc 2?) 1 x Sony power supply (PN 68-1125-41, Model APS 24) 1 x SUN optical mouse pad (402105-003A) - assorted narrow SCSI cables and terminators, various lengths various connectors. Go ahead and ask me. 1 x SUN Fast Ethernet (100-baseTX) SBUS card (PN 501-2702919...) 2 x SUN CG3 (8-bit framebuffer, 13W3 connector) SBUS cards (PN 501-1718048449) 1 x SUN TGX1 (8-bit framebuffer, 13W3 connector) SBUS card (PN 501-2325207994) 1 x SUN SunSwift (Fast/Wide SCSI + 100-baseTX) SBUS card (PN 501-2739046491) 1 x Magma SP16 (16 port RS232 serial) SBUS card 1 x SUN X3652A Ultra 2 Creator (3D 24-bit frambebuffer, 13W3 connector) 4 x SUN X7003A memory (64M each, 2 cards/"kit") 1 x SUN X7002A memory (64M; just the one card) 4 x SUN X7001A memory (32M each, 2 cards/"kit") All this stuff is salvaged and was working fine when it came out, but that was quite a few years back: caveat receptor. I also have a SunBlade 100 system (1G memory, 2 x 120G IDE, type-5 USB keyboard, USB mouse) but I'd actually like to see if I can squeeze a few bucks out of that. Offers are welcome. Please contact me off-list with questions and requests. In another couple of weeks it will be out of here one way or another. Many thanks for your attention-span.
