Does anyone know the production figures for
either the Altair 8800, the Imsai 8080 or
the Processor Tech SOL 20? If actual numbers
are not available I would really appreciate
getting an educated guess.
Thanks much,
Bob

I'm selling a Mac 128 on eBay. The bid is up to about $60 and the
auction ends today. If anyone is interested in it just go to the link
below and bid through the auction. You will have to pay shipping so keep
that in mind.
11941337: Original Macintosh! 128K / KB / FD / More!
Current bid: $51.00
Auction ends on: 04/30/98 18:31:45 PDT

I also have another 128 that seems to work but has a dead screen. And a
pile of the external floppy drives (3 I think). Includes keyboard and
mouse. Accepting offers.
I've never seen an 80W power supply. All original IBM 5150 PC's I
worked on had a 63W power supply and the IBM XT's all had a 130W power
supply. You mentioned your supply has a 220V selection? If so and you
are stateside, make certain it is in the 110V position. If you have a
220V power supply that doesn't have a 110V selection and you're
stateside... you're out of luck. I concur with all those previous
respondents that this supply of yours is most likely good but loaded
down either by excessive loading (more cards/memory/drives than the
P/S can service) or a short circuit in one of the add-on boards or
drives. Just unload until you find the cause.

That's odd. My power supply's 130W. It's also the 220v variety, as that's
what's available here. It was made in Dublin, Ireland. It really looks
like it was how it was made, as it looks REALLY built-in to the case.
Anyway, I can't see any reason that it would be dememanding too much power,
all I have connected is a XT clone motherboard, (however, it WAS sitting in
an XT case) and a XT floppy drive connected. So, any ideas? I think that
it was just this PS's time to go.... and it was two weeks one day older than
I am!
Thanks for the help. I might need a new PSU, as I'm not good at this
type of thing. After testing it with a dummy load, just a HDD, and a FDD
(one at a time), and rechecking all my power connections, I think that it
REALLY is dead.
Thanks,
Tim D. Hotze

Yep, Apple Records. Actually, it was founded by Paul Macarthney (however
you spell it) and John Lenon, the Beatles. Their idea was to have people
coming in, and doing what they wanted, getting profits for their records,
and not having to go beg the brass at some corporation. They lost more and
more money, into the 80's, when they were "eaten up" by Capitol records.
The Beatles CD's available now from capitol still feature the Apple logo
(not Apple Computer), and the CD's also have it.
Ciao,

hmm, I've overloaded a standard XT (80W) supply before trying to run a
couple of the original 10MB hard drives (amongst other things!). Guess
it depends on what cards and stuff you're running (some of those old
full-length boards drew a hell of a lot of power...)
I've got an old pre-XT machine somewhere with the 63W supply, I seem to
remember it wouldn't even power one 10MB drive with motherboard and a
single floppy drive in place... I can't remember why on earth I even
tried it though, I don't think the pre-XT machines (what was their
proper title btw?) would even run a hard drive...
cheers

Sorry, Sam, what I meant was our systems here are badly set up. And I
refuse to spend hours trying to get WNT to do things properly when it's
probably not capable of it. When I try to use your forms page, Internut
Exploder asks for a directory in which to store outgoing e-mails and
then won't accept any that I give it. (For the record, I am _not_ a
computing/IT/whatever person at work - it's merely my hobby. Eventually
I will get TCP/IP on one of my UNIX boxen at home and get a personal
connection...)
Physical address will follow by private e-mail.
