I blew one of the biggest deals of my life a while back. A barely used *color* NCR PC4i. And free to boot. It had a horrible death.
Well I do have a few green screened PC4s. Would like to swap out the monitor section. Came across a Samsung EGA monitor. The PC4i had 400 lines of resolution, the EGA 350. I've been told in some circles it was common to display that sort of video on something *close*. Are there inherent dangers (x-rays, etc.)? Do you abnormally shorten the lifespan of the monitor by doing that?
Available : 2 RA-60 drives.
They should be working, as they were spares, and I can add 3
RA60 packs per drive.
Pickup only, no shipping as they are quite heavy (50 - 60 Kg's).
Contact me off list.
BTW, they are in the Netherlands.

I have a published book that tells you how to mount a Mac 128k or 512k Logic Board in a PC case, and make the adapter for the video to work with a Samsung MGA Display.
It looks very similar to this unit.
I always intended to make one, but never got round to it.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it here but I have some photos from the
office building that I was talking about 2 wks ago. There's more rooms
of this, some are mostly 70's stuff, there's 4 floors of stuff here -
all jam packed. But the other problem is getting a bigger flashlight as
there's no electric in the building. They only have one floor being
lighted at a time with a generator as they clean it out.. It's slow
going as they only spend 1 or 2 times a week to cleanup the place. But I
can reserve any TV's if they know someone is going to pick them up. My
buddy's shop is running out of space, so there's little chance of
storing any more TV's for a future pickup/delivery. This place is
located in Pittsburgh,PA. I plan to get some more photos next wknd of
any interesting TV's.

Is anyone here aware of or have a dual 5.25" drive chassis with the bays
side-by-side instead of stacked. I'm trying to get the look of the Apple
DuoDisk. I seem to recall Todd Fischer of Imsai.net having something like
this, but all traces of that are gone.
I really wish he'd stick with things like selling replacement parts
instead of persisting with the Imsai S2.

Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
I've got a DataFlyer 500 expansion for my Amiga 500 and it's dead as a
post. There's +5 on the connector but no where else that I can find on
the board. Does anyone here happen to have a schematic for it or know
where I can find one?
tnx.

BTW, the same enclosure (some different mounting hardware") was used for 4x
5.25" plus 1x 3.5"

No - it is ham lore only. Many tubes lives will shorten if the
filament is run below spec. In some types, life will drastically drop.
