Looking for some manuals for MKS Toolkit.
It was a set of Unix utils packaged with a Korn shell that all ran under
it's own command shell.
Anyone ever hear of it?

If anyone has that driver could they send it to me, too? I have a Tandy
1000TL 286 XT w/768K RAM, and no way to access it. Maybe the driver will
work in it, too. Maybe it won't - but it's worth a shot :-)

OK, gang, last chance! I have a pair of printwheels compatible with either
the Diablo/Xerox 635 series printers or the Xerox 60 series MemoryWriters.
They are NOT compatible with the MemoryWriter 600 series.
I have one each, Courier 10 and Courier 12. Whoever wants them, they're
yours for the cost of postage ($3.00 USPS Priority Mail).
Let me know. If I don't hear anything by Tuesday night this week (the
11th), they're going in the trash.

There is a program called Apple Drive Setup SC or something to that effect
which will format and prep 'apple' hard drives. (they rigged it so if the
drive does not have an apple ROM it won't format it) but there are ways around
that, check out:

Neither the Mac 800k format is done with a variable speed drive and is
practically impossible to emulate in software (PC users can get around this by
adding a Copy II PC option Board which bypasses the drive's controller for
better flexibility.)
My suggestion is to see if you can get a set of SE Superdrive ROMs and a 1.4HD
drive for your SE then you can use 1.44 meg disks which CAN be read on a PC
(Via MacChette) and also can read PC disks on the Mac (Via Apple File
Exchange). :)

It was the ICOM via pertec purchase and integrated into the altair line.

This is probably not a 10yr thing, but I don't know any other list that's
got this many people that know what they're talking about...
I've got a Wyse WY-50 terminal. From the menus, it's got four modes:
FDX, BLOCK, HDX, H-BLK
After reading (on this list) that the old HP terminals had something
called "block mode", I was wondering what it meant here. Also, what's FDX
and HDX? The first thing that came to my mind was Full Duplex and Half
Duplex, but I don't know how those would apply.
Also, are these terminals just really lacking features or are Linux and
*BSD just not running it right? It seems that tabs get ignored, for one.
And it is just generally awkward looking. (And the arrow keys don't work
in pine, but that's not terribly critical.) It doesn't act in a logical
way at times.
What were these terminals meant to be used with? I got this one from a
AS/400 installation, though I don't know if it was ever actually used for
the AS/400 (they had a whole mess of IBM twin-ax terminals for that).

Hi Again,
The Sun currently has 2x Fujitsu M2322K drives which appear to be SMD
interface drives (on a xylogics 451 controller), is there any way to
interface ohter kinds of drives into this interface?
Also, I spotted an Apple IIGS for sale in a second-hand place down here,
it looked complete but it was labelled "parts only". I asked why and the
response was "It doesn't have a startup card", I assume this means disk.
They want AUS$60 for it, I was thinking about offering them AUS$30, is
this reasonable?
Cheers
Karl

You can use a Commodore 64 power supply on your plus/4 too!
What you need to do is remove the power connector from a dead 64 motherboard
and solder it into where the the Plus/4's power connector is. Fortunately
they are both pin for pin compatible with each other. I have modified one
plus/4 in that way and haven't had a problem since. ;)
