Looking for: one (1) Apple II keyboard keyswitch

by derschjo＠gmail.com

I've been slowly restoring an Apple II (original) to working condition and my last hurdle is getting the keyboard working reliably. When I started a handful of keys didn't work, worked intermittently or had debouncing problems and I managed to get them working fairly well again by carefully working in some contact cleaner into the switch. (It's a real PITA since these things are solid blocks of plastic and cannot be disassembled.) I have one key left that I cannot make work through this method. I'd rather not sacrifice another keyboard just for a single keyswitch; does anyone have any of these going spare or have a "salvage quality" Apple II keyboard I could pull a switch from? (Or does anyone have better repair advice for these switches?) Thanks as always, Josh

Emulex P4000 software

by b4＠gewt.net

Afternoon, I have a couple of these (in need of PSu repair...rigged up a temporary ATX supply). I managed to find the software on Emulex's FTP site...but it's password protected in a zip file. Does anyone have the software or the password? I'm currently bruteforcing it, but it could take awhile... -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

Stumbled across this recently: <http://www.hactrn.net/sra/alice/> Oddly enough, I found it while searching for an archive of TECO macros to see if anyone had coded Conway's Game of Life in TECO. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
