interesting auction closes tomorrow on govliquidation
event id is 4491 Lot no is 42
described as "magnum disk cartridge" in the title but details show it as
25 ea 8" magnetic disk cartridge with CDC, MPI and Honeywell ssource numbers. condition is rated 'A1" so they MAY be NOS in original pkgs.
I have recently pulled my 5160 xt out of storage, but the powersupple
seems to have given up on me, have anyone tried to repair one of those
before.
If its powered up with load the fan spins up , but there is a relay that
is tricked on a small vertial installed print, turning the whole thing
off.
The case of the powersupple is big enough that I could put a new
powersuple inside it with a bit for rewiring if it turns out to not be
repairable.

Hi! ?I made this offer on vintage-computer.com and comp.os.cpm and thought
there may be some home brew computer hobbyists on CCTALK that might also be
interested.
I'd like to offer more S-100 backplane and prototyping board PCBs using a
new approach to get the cost down. ?My first batch of both S-100 PCBs are
all sold out and the builders seem happy with them. ?My new idea is like a
group buy to increase the order quantity and lower unit cost. ?I wrote up a
description of the plan on vintage-computer.com here:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?t=16539
When I offered S-100 PCBs previously like the other N8VEM boards the unit
costs came out at $25 for the prototyping board and $32 for the backplane.
Both PCBs seem to work fine but I think the price was more than a lot of
hobbyists were willing to pay. ?I can understand that so maybe this new
method will work.
For obvious reasons, I will not accept advance orders or payments in
advance. This is a hobbyist project and non-commercial offering. ?My goal is
to recover my own expenses of the PCB manufacturing order. ?I won't order a
bunch of PCBs that no one wants and there is no point in proceeding if I am
selling them at a loss. There are some on the waiting list already so maybe
this will work. It really depends on how much participation there is which
drives the order quantity up and unit cost down.
As usual, constructive feedback is appreciated. ?Thanks and have nice day!

This is one of those machines I've been trying to track down for a very long time, so I figured it was worth posting a feeler... Does anyone have an AT&T 3b2, or know of one that might be available? Obviously, the bigger the better, but I'm not picky. I want to be able to run AT&T Unix.

Dear Tim,
Found an old notation on the internet about some Data General computers you bought. I wonder if you still have any available? Need an S130 or at least some parts.

Heh. Yeah, I should have mentioned. I'm in New York, near Albany. So we're on completely different coasts...

Just to let you know, Yahoo is currently (still) having problems with its groups. Large groups (with more than 350 members) currently have problems with new members posting, among other problems.

I've tried posting this several times to the Spare Time Gizmos yahoo group... and for some
reason it doesn't seem to be happening... I just tried again and I'll see if it works this time...
but in the meantime, thought I'd try here too....
I missed out on the last run of FP6120 kits.... I stopped following the group for a while... just long enough for them to become available and then sell out :-(.
If anyone bought an extra or two and would be willing to part with one,
please contact me.
Thanks,

Hello,
At one point in time, 4 years ago, Jim was looking for a Data General Dasher 6052. I have a
6052 and other vintage computer stuff (DG and DEC). I no longer service this equipment and
therefore would be happy to sell to a vintage computer junky. Who out there needs museum
quality stuff?
sincerely,
Don
Thought I'd ask...I am looking for a new 4K (or more) RAM expansion kit
with schematics for an Altair 680b that I can build myself. Ideally the
kit would build an expansion card and operate like an old RAM card. An old
vintage RAM card would be fine too, but that'd be expensive and I assume
there are none to be found at this point save the rare luck.
I am not sure if you can still get them from stockly.com.
Thanks
Bill
