Mr. Fox,
I just discovered your message on the Internet. What do you want to know about it. I still have an SMC 70 and SMC 70G, manuals, and accessories in the garage. I purchased my first one about 1984. They were so far ahead of their times. They were even Y2K compatible. The only one that was when the Y2K panic hit.
Cheers,
James
While looking at datasheets of 3.5" floppy drive motor control ICs, the
LB1813 apparently supports four different speeds "out of the box". Pins 15
and 16 are used to select 300, 360, 600 or 720 RPM. So, I know 3.5" drives
with one of the first three speeds, but has anyone ever seen a 720 RPM
drive?
A drive with that IC would be the very common Mitsumi D359.

Hi,
I was looking for people who might have a Kennedy tapedrive for sale, either working or not, and I stumbled upon your ad. I know iT's been like year, but, are you still looking for those boards for your 9100 tapedrive? Or did you find them?

Hi,
My brother has requested to borrow a CD. So whilst
hunting around for it I came across his old walkman. However, I had not
realised that it still contained a battery in it. The walkman is over
15 years old, and since my brother moved out around 2002 it makes the
battery atleast 7 years old!
Here is a link to a page I quickly set up with some pics:
http://www.geocities.com/aliensrcooluk/public/BatteryInWalkman.html
The reason I am emailing the group, is because a power adaptor (wall wart) was sat underneath the walkman and has some brown paint-like marks on it. I am assuming this is from the battery and am wondering what is the safest way to clean it off without ruining the adaptor.
The adaptor is used to run some of our modified table-top games (which originally ran from batteries, but have been modified so that they run from the adaptor instead).
Regards,

Is anyone here planning on bidding on this, and who's willing to image
these disks?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220356462708
I'd be willing to get them just to make images, and if someone else
wants the physical disks I'd be happy to go in on bidding on them, and
send that person the disks after I make images of them. Or, if someone
else wants to get them to make images themselves, that'd be fine too.

Good, now the rest of us know who to harass about getting an image. :)

The DSD 880 diagnostics diskette has been claimed. Jeff Kaneko was the lucky(?) winner.
Thanks to all for your interest.

The xa 6502 cross-assembler package has been updated to version 2.3.5. This
version fixes a bug with the .bin pseudo-op and character sets, adds PETSCREEN
and HIGH character sets, adds the .aasc pseudo-op, and has multiple small
custodial and bug fixes. It will compile on most systems with an ANSI C
compiler, can generate code for all NMOS and most CMOS variants of the 6502
and the 65816, and is known to work on Win32, most Un*ces and Mac OS X. It is
licensed under GPL.

Or possibly not broken? I have two items which I must part with as
part of The Great Reduction of 2009:
- Epson HX-20 Portable; no AC adapter; could not power it on with any
AC adapter in my stable; fair cosmetic shape, some sticker residue;
has micro-cassette drive module
- STM Pied Piper CP/M Computer; I plugged it in and Magic Smoke was
released; a competent technician (i.e. not me) can probably fix this
easily; comes with a box of 5.25" floppies which may or or may not
contain CP/M and other Pied Piper goodies, a Dealer Guide, some
brochures for an STM 80186 machine and whatever else I can find
Shipping on these items will be from 60074. I have scanned the
scannable items from the Pied Piper and they are up at
chiclassiccomp.org. Asking price is whatever you feel it's worth for
me to box something up and send it out, plus actual shipping. In
other words, please give these fine machines a home.
