VintageAppleNMore Etsy Store

by slandon110＠gmail.com

What drew me to it was the .20 cent listing fees.. They only take a 3.5 percent cut of your final value. Pictures are free and you can list as much as you want. The listings last 3 months too which makes it even better. Feel free to chime in your thoughts on my pricing. Im listing a ton of vintage apple.

Disk drive teardown

by mark.kahrs＠gmail.com

It's too late now to tell that mad Ozzie Dave not to tear it down. But here's the video for those so inclined (and by the way, Teardown Tuesday is great fun each and every week!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBjoWMA5d84 Be sure and lookout for the Official Australian Safety boots.

Opus ISA SparcCard

by paulyandy＠yahoo.com

Bernd, Greetings! I have a mysterious ISA card and after researching, I found an old post from 2007 which contained a conversation you were having regarding an Opus ISA SparcCard.? I'm curious if this is what I currently have. Do you happen to know of any online information about getting this working?? I was going to recycle it but it seems a shame if it is a bit of history and of unique functionality. Any help is most appreciated and thank you! Paul Anderson

Apple 1 and Altair set new records at auction

by lsprung＠optonline.net

Greetings everyone, I just wanted to bring the following 2 items to the lists attention. I'm surprised I've seen no discussion about the record setting prices from the recent Auction Team Breker sale last week where an Apple I sold for about $640,000 and an Altair 8800 reached $16,000. WOW! Does anyone have any insights to these? Do you think these prices were due to auction excitement or new global interest in the value of collectible computers? http://acn.liveauctioneers.com/index.php/auctions/auction-results/8714-apple -1-computer-sells-for-640000-at-auction-team-breker

SIMH images to Zip Disks

by fraveydank＠gmail.com

I have a bootable 100MB RSX-11M image in SIMH that I'd like to blast onto a Zip disk and boot through my CQD-220. I'm running a build on SIMH that's essentially identical to my machine, so it should be straightforward, but when I try to boot my disk, I get a "not bootable" response from the ROM (the activity light on the Zip drive does flash momentarily, so I know something is going on, but it doesn't look like it's taking enough time to actually seek anything (and when I boot through the bootstrap provided by the CQD-220 ROM, I get a HALT at 000002, which tells me it's probably getting all zeroes). I know at least some of you boot your -11s off of Zip disks, probably with similar cards. What am I missing? As far as I can tell, the SIMH disk image format is a headerless binary blob, but it doesn't look like I'm getting to the point where that even matters yet. - Dave

I wonder if that was originally from Tri-Valley Growers.? a very large agricultural Co-op based in Modesto (nearby) that went bankrupt in 1999.? They were heavy VAX and later alpha users and would show up fairly regularly at BAYVAX meetings back in the day.? Not sure about the graphics thing though, can't remember them talking about that, but it's been a while.? Just for fun I googled for "tri valley growers vax" and was surprised to see how many people out there have that on their resumes.? Pretty fertile ground for computer people as well as fruit.

WTD : Cisco multibus (AGS) router

by silvercreekvalley＠yahoo.com

I like to run an older Cisco multibus router with my old computers, just to keep it all 'vintage' and I'd like to find a spare router if anyone has one. Any of the older Cisco 'multibus' AGS routers would be of interest. I'm in the UK, but would pay for postage from overseas. Thanks.

Heath Z-19 terminal spotted for sale in PDX

by innfoclassics＠gmail.com

I stopped by Free Geeks in Portland Oregon tonight and they had a nice condition Heath Z-19 terminal for $60. I didn't have the extra cash to buy it but thought I would post it here. The cosmetic condition of the terminal was very good. I looked inside and it appears complete and it is just a terminal. I did not power it up. Paxton -- Paxton Hoag Astoria, OR USA
