And I'll have you know my Leading Edge/Sperry Model M runs rings around that Big Pyew. Supports 8" drives even maybe.

Long Live the Quad was Re: NO QUAD (Was: 3B2 floppies)

by saquinn624＠aol.com

I AM UNWORTHY! I have recited the proper names of the D-shells 10 times through as penance. Scrub out That Which Shall Not Be Named Again and insert whatever descriptive term you prefer. Some marketer got to the manuals and put in That Which Shall Not Be Named Again, and the 3B2 is my first introduction to that particular format. I have been instructed in the mysteries and now know the proper terms to use.

Macintosh 128K in Portland, Cheap

Perhaps when I'm settled somewhere I'll build a giant man sized 128k Mac. Then get inside the tube and have everyone believe I got shrunken. But if I want to go real I could always put to use the 19" paper white crts a lister sent me. Like a Mac on steroids. I still love my Macs (and Lisa). Only got a Plus and an SE but I ain't complaining.

Grid 2260

It's from his future ding ding. He commissioned evil cyborgs (like when aren't they) to steal it from a museum. Believe it or not it's worth like 12,000,000,000$ then whenever the heck then is. But then again maybe it may only be like a year from now considering what Obama bucks will likely be worth. In any event grab it. Money is no object here. ------------------------------ On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 8:52 PM PST Sam O'nella wrote: >Depends where you're located and what you're hoping to get for it. :-) do you collect anything or is this just from your past? > >-----Original Message----- >From: Adam Michael Rubin <adamrubin at gmail.com> >Sender: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.orgDate: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:57:43 >To: cctalk at classiccmp.org<cctalk at classiccmp.org> >Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" > <cctalk at classiccmp.org> >Subject: Grid 2260 > > Hey there, I have an old GRID 2260 laptop.

Do 128k Macs go for big bucks? Guess I've been out of the loop.

Hey there, I have an old GRID 2260 laptop. It's a beauty. It works, loads Windows 3.1.1 for pen computing, but the pen is broken, sadly. I would like to sell this computer. Any leads? Adamrubin at gmail.com

3B2 floppies

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

and Scott more often then not DD media will format fine as "quads". They may not last as long as 96tpi media, depending on the quality. I'm going to guess a 720k or 1.44meg drive won't work but it's not impossible.

reasons to keep a Turbo XT clone.

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

>[Thank yuou for bottom posting. It shows a willingness and ability to >think and adapt to the ettiquettes of others] For the 9 years or whatever I've been on the list I've top posted probably 90+ percent of the time. Because it makes more sense. And I trim more then most people. So I don't understand why you see this as a blessed event. Don't know how I earned a reputation. >The stock 5160 supports 4 floppy drives. (two internal, two on DC37) >The stock 5170 supports 2 floppy drives. But you need a different controller on 5150/5160 to drive an 8" drive, except maybe a ss drive?

NEC D765D

by doc＠vaxen.net

Is a ceramic NEC D765D worth anything? It's soldered on an adapter board for a bus I don't recognize. Other parts on the board have 1977 date codes. I pulled it out of a recycle bin, so I have no clue what it belongs to. I assume it's a floppy controller, seeing as it has two 34-pin headers... Doc
