cleaning up after the move.

by ba600＠ncf.ca

It's been a long while since my last post, and I should have cleaned up before moving rather than after. But I have a pile of monitors and external SCSI boxes that I'm not interest in keeping. Is there any interest or should these go to the recyclers. Apple monitors these came with the 2e all the way upto the LC's I think I only need to keep one or two so there are several spares Also older CGA and VGA monitors a few older terminals a pair of IBM PC 500 servers and 3 AS/400 9404s -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600

VCF Archives Fund Raiser Sale

by sellam＠vintagetech.com

Dear CC Talkers and VCF Fans: The Vintage Computer Festival is currently securing funding for operations and storage of the VCF Archives for the next 6 months. As such, the VCF is conducting a limited sale of select items of the VCF Archives. As the VCF Archives pretty much contains everything, and due to current time restraints, the sale will be held as such: contact me (Sellam) with a wish list, and I'll indicate which of your requested items I could offer with a description and offer price. We can haggle out a deal from there. As my funding needs surpass my ability to deal with many small transactions, I am necessarily limiting the sales to items of a value of at least $250. This does not mean I will attempt to jack up the prices, but I would prefer to make single transactions that have a value of $250 or more. I apologize for the unorthodox nature of this sale but I am in an unorthodox situation and this is the surest way I know to raise the funds necessary to secure the archives. Please e-mail me with your wish lists directly. Thanks! -- Sellam Ismail VintageTech ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintagetech.com Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap...The truth is always simple.

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi! John Monahan and I have been working on an SVGA display compatible S-100 board and it is almost ready to go. While it is not SVGA register compatible it does allow for an economical SVGA compatible display for your S-100 system. http://s100computers.com/My%20System%20Pages/Lava-10%20Board/LAVA-10%20Board .htm http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=S-100%20LAVA Some additional discussion here on the vintage-computer.com forum http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?30687 A viable PCB manufacturing order is at least 20 orders just to pay for the boards, tooling, shipping, etc. There are approximately 12 "firm" PCB requests and as soon as this project is viable I will make the manufacturing order. Thanks and have a happy holidays! Andrew Lynch PS, if cash and/or paypal is an issue, we can make trades for certain computer parts, electronic components, tools, metals, coins, unused gift cards, shipping materials, scrap, etc. Please let's discuss!

Fan Fold paper tape

by rickb＠bensene.com

I prefer sequence numbers punched in columns 72 to 80, along with a line or lines drawn on the top edge of the deck. With sequence numbers, you could use unit record equipment to re-order them. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Goodman [tsg at bonedaddy.net] Received: Friday, 07 Dec 2012, 4:56am To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts [cctalk at classiccmp.org] Subject: Re: Fan Fold paper tape * Mike Loewen <mloewen at cpumagic.scol.pa.us> [121207 07:31]: > On Thu, 6 Dec 2012, Dave McGuire wrote: > > > On 12/06/2012 11:01 PM, mc68010 wrote: > >>> I may try to grab this box of paper tape. -Dave > >> > >> Please grab it tightly.
