I'm looking for a Seattle Computer Products CPU Support card. It's an S-100 card with various mixed functions on it. If anyone has one or knows where I can find one, please let me know.

I've finally gotten round to putting a page up with the pictures that I
shot at the Moffitt Field Historical Computer Collection "Visible Storage"
facility during VCF II, but have spaced a bit on the identities of some of
the artifacts.
The page is not quite ready for public consumption yet, as it is still
missing various titles and it should be a bit better organized... But, if
anyone would like to take a look, and perhaps assist with identifying the
units without titles, you can access the page at:
http://www.rdrop.com/~jimw/jcgm-mfhcc.html
Until I get this page 'finished', there won't be a link from the regular
'Computer Garage' pages, so you will need to use the direct URL above.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Some of the people who clean keyboards for a living use Ultrasonic cleaners.
Years ago I got a sample of a cleaner that you mixed with water that was
formulated for ultrasonic keyboard cleaning. You also need an Ultrasonic
cleaner that you can submerge a keyboard in. Unfortunately I don't have the
name of the company anymore.

I collect old radios, and I can definitely say differently. Just try
plugging in a metal-cabinet radio with a few bad tubes, turning it on, and
touching the case. Also, get out of the way when a shelf collapses with a
52-pound short-wave receiver on it. Other than that, you're probably right.

Well, even though I haven't tried it yet, it HAS to be faster booting than
my Toshiba 200CDS. (100MHz Pentium, 8 MB RAM, Win 95OSR2). It takes 15-20
minutes to boot, and with absolutely NOTHING running but Explorer and IE,
89% of all system resources are used. It's the worst computer I ever owned,
and make more use of the 386-20 IBM PS/2 L40sx laptop w/ 6 MB RAM. And, I
may add it only takes 1.34 minutes to boot (Win '95 OSR2) - yes, I timed it.
Only problem is that the keyboard quit. Anyone have a replacement? I don't
really feel like paying $90 for one from IBM.
Happy Holidaze,

Da, tovarisch.
Not to mention the exploding electrolytic effect when a radio that's sat
through about 20 Australian summers in a tin shed and is dryer than
most Middle Kingdom Egyptian Mummys is powered up for the first
time.

That's what we get for being an open list. Much better than any
of the ads I get when I admit my existence on Usenet, anyway.
