The folks dressing the sets of movies scrounge almost as hard as
computer collectors. If they can sweet-talk some hardware maker into
lending machines for scenes, they'll do it. It's product placement.
Don't forget, many of the people working on movies are effectively
sub-contractors, and if they can do it for less money, they're
making money. And if they can get something that will "fall off
the truck" or re-sold when the sets are demolished, all the better:
I remember a particularly egregious example of a tech for the movie
"Twins" who was systematically begging software makers for actual
product (not just boxes, but disks, he insisted) to clutter some
laboratory scenes. What a scam!

Would anyone happen to know where I could find a copy of Tom Pittman's
Tiny BASIC for the 1802, as described in Personal Computing, March 1979?

Anyone heard of a Hazeltine? Not sure of the model but I have a black
one piece terminal looking unit that I'm curious of the sentimental,
astetic or collector value of this brand of machine. Any input
appreciated and maybe there will be one up for adoption soon.
Allright, I have the list of stuff that I can ship. Please reply to me
personally, first come - first served. Read the whole e-mail there are
some goodies at the bottom. Much of this stuff I would prefer if it went
to someone who has historical interests in mind. Most of this stuff I will
ship anywhere for the price of shipping.
Package of original Mac IIci manuals includes thin Macintosh Reference
booklet, Getting started book, and the system software disks (6.0.?).
Microsoft Works: Lessons booklet
Hypercard 1.2.2 package includes User's Guide, Introduction to Scripting,
and the hypercard disks.
Mac SE Owner's Guide (2x) (thin)
Mac Plus Owner's Guide (thin)
System Software 6.0 User's guide (fairly thick)
Applelink 6.0 User's guide (average thickness) (old network program. I
could be persuaded to find the floppies)
Macintosh Utilities User's guide (average thickness) (for System 6)
A disassembled Macintosh IIx in unknown condition. This is missing the ROM
SIMM, but it has RAM, the hard drive, a video card, a PSU, and the
motherboard. It's an '030 w/math coprocessor. Would like some small
payment beyond the shipping charge.
System 7.0 demo CD (EBAY ALERT!) This is simply an awesome CD. It is the
demos that would be run in-store, using hypercard. It only runs on System
7 and below, though. This is a future classic, or simply e-bay bait.
Apple Nov. 1990 Service Source CD
Apple reference/presentations lib. v.4.0 and v.7.0 CD
Apple Lan Literacy 1000 CD
1989 Welcome to Macintosh demo CD
Sigma demo CD
Farallon's Greatest Hits Black Album CD
Mac Showcase (1988) CD
Macromind demo CD

Hi group,
The person who's message is copied below heard that I was a listmember of
ClassicCmp from the Greenkeys list (it's for Teletype, other teleprinter,
RTTY, and data comm interests). He asked me to post the availability of
some of his equipment on the list. I don't know the fellow nor have any
interest in the gear. Contact him directly.
Regards, Chris
PS: LAAG@... sounds familiar. Had he once before been a member of our list
or is it just that I had occasionally seen some postings from him on
Greenkeys and other amateur radio-related lists? CRF

hazeltine was a popular terminal, like the AMD Dumb terminal. The 1500
series were in use about 1977. They made US and Europe powered models. Sold
by Computerland etc.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add an "OT subgroup" to classiccmp
that people can choose to subscribe to or not. That way when something goes
as far afield as the operating system discussion or the argument about guns
in times past, those who wish to participate can simply agree to post to the
off-topic board and not irritate those who don't wish to participate. Might
be a good place for auction foo, too, although an additional subgroup for that
would also work. Would this be possible, oh list admin?

It looks like the last version of SunOS that I can run on a Sun 1/100U
is version 4.0.3, however i'm not sure if I have enough ram to use that
version. It looks like I can only add 2 ram boards, and all I have
are 1Meg ram boards...
Does anyone have 4.0.3 that they could supply to me in some form? Or is
there a better alternative for sun 2's with low ram (sun 1/100U is
apparently very hardware equivalent to the earliest sun 2's, at least
>from a software perspective). Perhaps there is a X11 version that might
run acceptably from a sun with 2Meg of ram.
The Sun 1/100U does not have any way to connect peripherals such as
hard drives, so the unit will have to be booted from the network.
I guess its almost time for me to brush up on tftp protocol, assuming
I can find some OS to run on this computer.
I dont suppose anyone has a sun multibus 4Meg memory board they would
be willing to trade?

Guys:
Does anyone have the docs for these HP protocols?
They're used to communicate with HP HPIB disk drives
and stuff.
The Amigo protocol is the oldest. Then the CS-80,
and the SS-80 is the newest. I think any of
these would be relevent to the work I'm doing.
Joe: You mentioned you had the Amigo protocol.
If you can dig it up, that would be cool, but
only if time allows!
Thanks.
Jeff
