All,
This looks so fictitious, I just have to ask:
Anyone know "Zephyr"?
Anyone else get a similar offer?
If no and no, be careful. I have a Mac Plus and don't need a
NIB newton. Been scammed once, so I'm highly tempted to drive up to
Austin and try to arrange a face-to-face meeting. Not tempted enough,
though.

Part of me still craves dedicated terminals
since they're just so reliable, and you can just swap
in another when it breaks. No (or few) stored settings.
Even "smart terminals" such as the BLIT
and "thin clients" are a pleasure to use
when in a properly supported environment.
But I'll admit that PROCOMM is still a wonderful program,
emulating all sorts of terminals
with screen capture, session capture and file transfer.
Not long ago, I used a DOS laptop with PROCOMM
for an embedded processor lab
so I was up and running instantly and consistently.

Nice! There's been a resurgence in appreciation
of the "classics".

Sweet! Google found this for pix and desc:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_9800_series_desktop_computers
My high school started everyone with programming BASIC
on the HP 9820A:
http://www.hpmuseum.org/hp9820.htmhttp://www.oldcalculatormuseum.com/hp9820a.html
Somewhere I have 2 of the 'extra capacity' cards
(HP Part #9162-0045): 10 1/2" inches long,
storing 90 memory registers per side.
I traded it away long ago, but I had a HP terminal
that was extremely "smart"
- the lid opened up to add cards for RAM or peripherals
- I think it allowed 1-2 tape drives to store/xmt files
- the CRT was a 2:1 aspect ratio: twice as wide as high.
- external keyboard that was too thick and heavy
to ever put on your lap!

How about an ADM-11? Clean, no burn, with manual - $50.00

I just came across a Tektronix labeled transformer that I removed from some scrap analytical equipment some time ago. Part No.: 120-1097-00 manufacture date 7919. The price is right - from 85704.

Hi all,
I just came into the possession of an Xpanse PCI-to-NuBus chassis, much like the one here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20061018024944/http://www.2ndwave.com/details.as…
However, it has the 3.4 ROM, which is incompatible with the Beige G3, which is the primary . Does anyone out there have a v3.5 ROM, and is willing to provide a dump?
The ROM is located on the PCI card, in a socket.
If anyone knows how to reach the company, this would be helpful, but they seem to be out of business.
Thanks!

It had a industrial number of 6977 as well, but most commonly I've seen it called
the DM160 even here in the states.
The Soviet equivalent is the IV-15.
All seem to be readily available today from a number of sources (e.g. tube houses, E-bay, etc.)

It's tidy-the-workshop time (or as her indoors put it, can't you get rid
of some of that junk). So I have quite a big box of surplus cables to
get rid of. Some are only fit for an advert on freecycle (assorted long
lengths of 3-core manis cable, umpteen RJ45 Ethernet cables), but I
thought the more classiccmp-ish ones might be of more interest here.
Any or all for the cost of the postage:
DB25M - DB25F 8-wire screened 2m
DB25M - DB25M 25-wire 10m
50HD - 50-"Centronics style" SCSI 1m
DB25M - 50-"Centronics style" genuine HP SCSI 1m
DB25M - 50-"Centronics style" SCSI 0.5m
DB 13W3 - DB 13W3 Sun screened monitor cable, beige 1.2m
DB 13W3 - DB 13W3 SGI screened monitor cable, granite 1.2m (for
Indy/Indigo^2)
DB 13W3 - DB 13W3 SGI screened monitor cable, beige 3m (for Indigo)
DE9M - DE9F Sun screened monitor cable, 1m (for BW framebuffer)
DE9M - DE9F Taxan screened monitor cable, 1m (brand new in bag)
HD15M-HD15M Sun VGA cable beige 1.8m
HD15M-HD15F VGA cable beige 2m
HD15M-HD15F VGA cable high quality black 2m (brand new in bag)
HD15M-HD15M PC VGA cable good quality beige 1.8m
HD15M-HD15M VGA cable PC quality black 2m (brand new)
HD15M-HD15M VGA cable PC quality black 2m (brand new in bag)
DVI-D - DVI-D cable black 1.8m (brand new in bag)
2 x DE9F - DE9F HP serial cable (null-modem) black 2m
DE9F - RJ45 HP serial cable (for Procurve/Cisco switch console) black 2m
plus a few SGI and other PS/2 mice.
But I'd like to know quickly if anyone wants any, so I can advertise
leftovers with the rest of the box on Freecycle.
