Todd has had the option to come get the disks for weeks now, as long as our schedules could work. However Im not going to let a complete and total stranger around my kid. And I have him for the next 3 weeks. If he wants to come get them after that then so be it.

RE AmigaMINI

by slandon110＠gmail.com

You know I did this project because I wanted a cheap affordable amiga compatible computer, I put alot of time and work into it to get it all to work right. I have one Amiga, and my son wanted one, so thats why I built one, and I figure why not build a few up and find them homes. Its a cheap way for peeps to get into amiga I did look at AROS, great operating system, I use it on a dell that has compatible ethernet. However it networking doesnt work with these thin clients. And Geneb, theres no need to start a bashing session about my past, I am quite aware of my past, and so are others, However I have learned >from my mistakes and run an honest show now.

I'm going on vacation for a couple days, but ought to be back Tuesday night or so. I have drawers of EPROM chips salvaged from odd gadgets. Jon

Ted Nelson interview / 1979

by hilpert＠cs.ubc.ca

Amusing 20 min interview on the CBC from 1979, in which Ted Nelson tries to convince the vision-less interviewer of the benefits and future of personal computers. Ted gets a little snarky to counter the derision of the interviewer. http://www.cbc.ca/rewind/episode/2014/08/07/robots-1/ (Hit the listen link, the Ted Nelson portion starts around 29:00, or listen to the whole thing (may have to wait for the audio to load to be able to skip forward)).

QIC cartridge tape cleaner.

by jws＠jwsss.com

Pretty much just to admire. Most capstans are probably goo by now, and the stuff in this kit too. ALLSOP-DC-2000-Series-Tape-Drive-Cleaning-Kit-1-4-Data-Cartridge-Tape-Drives- http://www.ebay.com/itm/311025488685 Hopefully got the link right this time. The vendor has quite a bit of other stuff, I just stumbled over this and thought of recent discussions. Looks like he set fire to 1 of 3 Kaypros he had by plugging in and powering on one with a loose CRT. Not so smart. Jim

Just place the two memory boards above the CPU in the normal manner as if the CPU board was a PDP-11/83. While the CPU will still run at 15 MHz (as opposed to 18 MHz for the PDP-11/83), the system will still experience about a 20% speed increase due to the PMI memory. Just place the memory and CPU in the first three slots of a BA23 box and add a controller and disk drive. Jerome Fine
