Which drive goes into this unit? I seem to remember a 40mb unit. It's a 40mb conner (cp-3044 or cp-3045) that uses a funky connector. To build a funky-to-SCSI cable, check out the Mac Portable FAQ at <http://www.bford.demon.co.uk/mac/portablefaq.txt>. Check out <http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/3959/index.html> as well. If you don't want to build your own cable, $35 will get you an adapter from <http://www.micromac.com/> which is MicroMac Technology (Also has specs). --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."

by sinasohn＠ricochet.net

Some of you (locals) may know I publish a weekly listing of free stuff happening in the City (plug, plug... see <http://www.sinasohn.com/freelist/>)... One of the upcoming events (at Stacey's Bookstore in downtown San Francisco) is this: Kara Swisher - Friday, July 17 @ 12:30 "AOL.COM: How Steve Case Beat Bill Gates, Nailed The Netheads, And Made Millions In The War For The Web" As a reporter for The Washington Post, Kara Swisher had the opportunity to go inside one of the most watched companies in the world, America Online. In her new book, AOL.COM, she captures the secrets of how AOL became the world's biggest online company. Revealing all the major moments in AOL's frenzied history; from its origins in the dreams of the eccentric entrepreneur, Bill Von Meister, to its triumph under the vision of the young marketing executive, Steve Case. For anyone interested in the Internet, technology, or modern business, AOL.COM is a must-read. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."

SF Bay Area Get-together

A while back, I wrote: >(c) So...fine, here's a time and place for all us Bay Areans to > argue over: Second Thursday, 09 July 1998, 7:00 PM, El Paso Cafe, > 1407 W El Camino Real, Mountain View.

Well, I got busy, then there was some argument, and as near as I can tell all that came out of that argument was that it would probably be a good idea to move the meeting around the Bay Area to give more folks an opportunity to attend. Sounds like a good idea to me, but for now.... When: 09 July 1998, 7:00 PM Where: El Paso Cafe, 1407 W El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA What: random discussion over dinner How to get there:

Programming the 6502 (Zaks)

by adept＠Mcs.Net

I recall someone was looking for this a while back and since I already have a copy, I won't bid on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=20139047 8 may seem steep as a starting bid but this is a great book and it's hard to find nowadays. On the other hand the original cover price was 14.95... Cheers, Dan

Tandy 25-1011 Plus Memeory Card for T1000 FS

by rhblake＠bbtel.com

I have a Tandy Memory Plus Expansion Board, tandy catalog number 25-1011 that brings the base memory of the machine from 128k up to 640k RAM. It came from a Tandy 1000 (no suffix) but will work on a Tandy 1000A and 1000HD. Full information documents are contained on line at http://support.tandy.com/support_accessories/2460.htm Not sure if your model works with it? Check the docs for your model 1000 at http://support.tandy.com/support_computer/2512.htm and look under the memory upgrades page to see if it will. I know for sure it will NOT work on the EX and HX models. The card is populated with the full 512k RAM to bring your 128K basic machine up to full DOS RAM. I need $15 for the card which includes shipping to you in the 48 lower US states. AK and HI should inquire to see if any additional shipping applies, probably won't. Email me direct if interested. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Blakeman RB Custom Services / Rt. 1 Box 62E / Harned, KY USA 40144 Phone: (502) 756-1749 Data/Fax:(502) 756-6991 Email: rhblake(a)bbtel.com or rhblake(a)bigfoot.com Website: http://members.tripod.com/~RHBLAKE/ ICQ UIN #1714857 AOL Instant Messenger "RHBLAKEMAN" * Parts/Service/Upgrades and more for MOST Computers* --------------------------------------------------------------------

Sony CD-ROM card was mentioned in same sentence though (deftly saving my sanity, BTW.) :) I used to pull that trick to test old ST-225 Seagates when I didn't have an XT machine handy. - - john higginbotham ____________________________ - webmaster www.pntprinting.com - - limbo limbo.netpath.net -

8-bit video cards in new systems?

by higginbo＠netpath.net

At 06:25 PM 7/6/98 +0100, Tony Duell wrote: >Many modern machines will take an MDA or CGA card with no problems, I am >sure. But I could believe that there are some that don't. All the clone systems I have ever built or worked on supported MDA/CGA in BIOS, and also took 8-bit cards. I even had an MDA running in a Tandy 1000TX with CGA onboard. No hitches there, but that machine isn't exactly one of "today's" systems. I'd be skeptical of any of the newer proprietary systems, PB, Comaq, Dell, AST all spring to mind. >Don't you just tell it it has no hard drive installed, and rely on the >BIOS extension on the 8 bit hard disk controller?

Dead PSU

by maxeskin＠hotmail.com

Well, no, I meant that if I get it to die on me, and unplug whatever "overloaded" it, it will start back up. BTW, if I do unplug it, it continues working, but the beats on the speaker slow down until they stop. It takes about 5 seconds. >But Max later said when he pulled the power he noticed about a second >later the fan jumped. I have seen that before too. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
