Hi, in order to rebuild my LSI-11 System (salvaged from some kind of machine control system in the scrapyard) I'm looking for a small QBUS backplane (including the card cage). Something like 2x4 or 2x8 would be perfect (H9281). Anyone willing to part with one of these? I'd love to get this thing going again, but the original enclosure was just too big and heavy -- so I need a smaller replacement in order to make it compatible with both my girlfriend and my tiny flat ;-) - Sebastian PS: I'm in Germany but I will of course pay for shipping over the great lake if necessary!

Zip drive power supplies (was Re: Different take on 10 Yr. 'RULE')

I do the opposite - there are many, many Zip power supplies in the thrift stores here, marked at about $1-$2 each. They are +5VDC @ 1A with a standard 2.1mm coax plug, and the newer ones are wee switchers that accept 240-100VAC - I use them to power projects and kits and such, and use them in the US, plus NZ and Europe when I travel. Somewhere in a box, I have a Zip backpack battery - it was meant to plug into the wall to charge, then clip to the Zip drive to power it with your laptop. I used mine to make my SBC6120 into a portable 12-bit computer. To me, the power supplies are much more useful than the drives. -ethan

Is Fido extinct?

by rodsmallwood＠btconnect.com

Calling all hoarders! I have been trying to get my old Fido BBS (circa 1983) running again on my DEC Rainbow. The original Tom Jennings code got trashed in a system crash may years ago. There's bits of it on his BBS but I would need to be a much better C programmer to have a hope of fixing it. There are copies on the old Decus site but the un-squeezer's (NUSQ & NUSQ110) just report errors. I know about FOSSIL but its FIDO_DEC.exe I'm really after. Does anybody have or know where FIDO_DEC.exe might be found. Rod Smallwood
