Does anyone have the Service Pack 1 for OS/2 2.0, or know of an
archive for it? IBM has nothing about it on their site.

A few weeks ago, I was charged with fixing a new Macintosh 5400/180.
It had been in a music room, in a sound proof booth, for several
months, with a MIDI interface being used for music software and the
like. The problem was something with the hard drive. This is the
second hard drive failure I've seen since an AT&T 6300. When the
drive tries to seek, it sound like a pendulum is stopping (tick...
tock,tock,tock,SILENCE). The head never sounds like it moves. The
little LED on the drive flashes, though. This is an IDE, by the way.
So, here's the good part. We sent in for a replacement, and in a few
days, it's the same way.
Now, I'm thinking it's a problem with the sound box's power supply,
maybe those 2GW speakers in there. Any ideas before we fry another
8GB?

Kai/others:
The 4mm tape with the scans was forwarded to Bill Whitson several months
ago (12/7/97) so that he could post them. I have heard neither hide nor hair
>from him
since I got his real home address.
If I had a personal web site with 100mb++ of storage, I'd post them to
myself and pass out the URL. Alas, I don't...
If someone lives near Bill Whitson, knock on his door and tell him to
post the scans!

Refering to the recent (and current) talks on the nintendo:
Is it appropriate to talk about video consoles on this list? (they don't
quite fit my definition of "computer")
If so I need help with a Fairchild chanel F: Schenatics and any info on the
hardware.
Otherwyse forget my post.
Thank you.

Warez (pronounced "war-ehs" is an infamous village in southern Mexico that
was once a training camp for CIA counter-insurgency computer terrorism
recruits. Furnished with the highest end computer hacking equipment by the
US Government, under the direction of Oliver North, they went rogue when the
program was discontinued during the Iran-Contra scandal. After their
payroll was cut, the village, ironically, hired itself out to international
terrorist concerns to perform paid attacks on US commerce. This situation
was exacerbated by an abortive attempt to invade Warez by Puerto Rican
commandos under the direction of the US military in 1997. This has since
been known as the "Bay of Warez" disaster.

I just picked up a Sharp PC 7000. it's one of those lunch box sized
portables with a LCD screen on one side and a fold up keyboard. This thing
has a built-in real time clock. Does anyone have the software to read the
clock and load the time into DOS?
