Hello Mark, I sent you an email some hours ago about the books, not sure if it got lost in spam... I would buy them all. Thanks Andrea

The only ones I can find now are the ones you mention. Yes, I too can't find my notes on the second one, whatever it is/was. I was *sure* that someone had made a Qbus emulator that used SD cards, but I simply can't find any mention of it now. Right now, it looks like Reinhard Heuberger's board is the best bet. I haven't checked with him yet to see if boards or kits are still available. If I could find a working TDL-12 I would jump on it in an instant. All the older ones (Dilog, etc.) appear to use ST-506 type drives, which introduces its own set of problems. Alan Frisbie

Err, which RLV11/RLV12 emulators are you seeing? I know of several RL02 emulators - Reinhard Heuberger's, and another I can't immediately find my saved info on - (and one crazy project that turned a real RL02 into a USB device :-), but you still need an RLV11/12 controller.

WeirdStuff going out of business

by barythrin＠gmail.com

Wow. That's unfortunate. Only been in town twice but was definitely part of my scheduled geekdom tour. So any local stores left for that type of thing? Any word on why the closure? I've always seen a lot of folks in the store (well my 2 times) but i don't know how many purchased. null

eBay: Anyone need a DLV11-J?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

ISO: Corvus Concept parts

by derschjo＠gmail.com

I picked up a Corvus Concept CPU unit about a decade ago now, and I've yet to track down any other parts for it. Looking for keyboards, monitors, drives, peripherals software -- anything. If anyone's got any parts, please drop me a line.? Always wanted to see one run... Thanks, Josh

eBay: Anyone need a DLV11-J?

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

This is listed under a useless title: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292503681011 But it's (currently) cheap (don't all bid against each other ;-). Noel

Right now I need to solve the need for an RL02 emulator, which will let me quickly solve the current problem. Again, does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with any of the RL02 emulators our there? Thanks, Alan Frisbie

Apple B&W CRT monitor popping and clicking

by silvercreekvalley＠yahoo.com

Hi all, Recently booted up my B&W Powermac G3, all came up fine including the 17? CRT monitor. However after a second or so, the monitor gives a ?popping? sound and the image on the screen expands then shrinks. This repeats every few seconds. I?m guessing the monitor is on the way out - but as this is a complete B&W system - I wondered what the likely cause is? Thanks
