I have had some disks for a long time and would like to give them to
someone who has a need, a use, or even a clue as to what they are.
Three have hand-written labels
1: XYLOGICS 450
XENIX DRIVER
503-450-405
tar cvbf 20 /dev/rdvfo
DCM 7/86
2: XYLOGICS 450
XENIX utility
503-450-405
tar cvbf 20 /dev/rdvfo
DCM 7/86
3: XYLOGICS 472
XENIX DRIVER
503-472-405
tar cvbf 20 /dev/rdvfo
DCM 7/86
I can't do anything with them on a PC, Norton won't let me see a
thing. I can see the sectors with my TI-99; #1 might not have valid
data, but 2 and 3 do. The second line of the labels might be 905
instead of 405 and rdvf0 instead of rdvfo. There may be nothing useful
on the disks, but...
The other disks are original (not too fancy) Intel disks:
4: SYP 286/300 DIAGNOSTICS 19 MB, #1A
DS/DD IRMX 86 FORMAT, 48TPI
PART NO. 174133-001
(c) 1982, 1983 INTEL CORP.
May not be copied without a license. Refer to price list for copying
fees.
#5, #6, #7 and #8 are identical except for the disk# and the part#:
5: #1B, PART NO. 174134-001
6: #2A, PART NO. 174135-001
7: #2B, PART NO. 174136-001
8: #2C, PART NO. 174356-001
If you want them, send an address, if they're not notable, I'll
reformat them. All, with the possible exception of #1, all have data
of some kind.

I have aquired many computers with old data on it. My theory is, "I won't see
this guy again so I'll read his stuff anyway." I know it breaks his privacy,
but it is not like I am going to start e-mailing all his friends, that would
just be a waste of time. Any games or programs that I should not own (i.e.
sensative material or beta's of software) I keep only because of the novelty.
Those are my two cents,
-Enrique!
I know this is not on topic, but I thought you guys could help. I
recently installed Red Hat 3.0.3 (release, not kernel version) on my
computer. It runs great and I am satisfied, but some games and programs
can't seem to find certain libraries, though the libraries are there and
in the right place. An example is "Unable to load 'blablabla' ; Exec
Format Error" or "Unable to load 'blablabla' file not found". Keep in
mind that all of this was on the Red Hat cdrom, so I doubt it's the
wrong format. I also tried replacing the libraries with ones that I have
used before and they worked. This did not help either.

Some of this will be come available:
This weekend I came into a real pile of stuff I classify as I would ahve
liked to own it if I could have affforded it when new.
2 California Computer systems 2200 boxen both with external 8" floppies
and one with an 8" hard drive (DISCUS). About 50-60 boxes of 8" floppies
33 of which are CPMUG and SIGM archives. Plus Docs, docs, docs. These
seems to be intact and I expect they work buyt haven't powered them yet.
3 Visual 1050s, a pizza box with two floppies, detached keyboard and
monitor on top. Two have hard disk boxes on the side. Also docs out
the ears. Also a mountain of disks. All three work.
Of the document excesses in the pile I must have 5 sets maybe more of DRI
CP/M-80 and some CP/M+ docs plus redundant copies of wordstar, multiplan,
Cbasic, and some DRI graphics tools. It filled the back of my toyota
pickup and the cab. My current task is to inventory what I have.

<Speaking of CCS stuff, there's an electronics store near me with a
<couple of NOS RAM boards (4K and 16K S-100 boards, with docs, never

<is $255, and the 16K is $415. I've tried to talk them down a few miles,
They are out of their minds! Those are 1978 new prices and by '82 64k of
static ram was less! The northstar cards were worth less. In 78
I bought seals 8kx8 for $299 new!

It does sound like a Tandom TM100 (or of that series, anywy). I've got the
manual, too.

Much more likely to be Imperial, on American equipment. Some sets go up in
bigger steps than others, though; perhaps the one you need is just "missing".
I have a few sets like that :-)

I have the full documentation package for the Plus+ HardCard 20 which
includes the Installation and Refernce Manual, 80286 Upgrade Kit Manual,
Warranty and Service-US booklet and preliminary notes for the 286
upgrade booklet.
If anyone thinks they can use these in the US I'd take $5 for the
package which basically covers me shoving it in an envelope and mailing
it to you. Drop me a note, first come first served.

[Repeat posting]
I have a new, in the box, AST-5251/11 setup that allows a PC to
communicate with an IBM 34/36/38 mainframe (?). It includes a thick
manual, 5.25" and 8" floppies, twinaxial to adapter card cable w/tee,
and the adapter card for an ISA slot. Still with the original overbox
that shows all the features of this beauty.
The box states that the card is an 8 bit, DMA selectable for PC/XT/AT,
selectable interupt channel, on board high speed 8X305 processor,
5251-11/5291 or 5291-1 display terminal emulation, host addressable 5256
printer support on the PC's printer, concurrent host and PC sessions
with hot key assist, bidirectional file transfers, and more. This is the
enhanced version.
I have no use for this and many of you are into connection to mainframes
and minis, so make me an offer, whether it be cash or trade for PC
compatible items.
Also have a big box full of S/36 5.25" disks and manuals. Will post
those as soon as I go through and inventory them.
Email a reply direct to me, please.

In addition to the previous Apple/Mac items message, I also have the
following fine machine for sale or trade:
--MAC 512k system which includes cpu/monitor unit with original 400k
internal floppy, enhanced keyboard, mouse, printer, manuals, software
and applicable cables. The unit was owned by a friend of mine since new
and only needs a repair or replace of the floppy drive as it's getting
old and sometimes doesn't read the disk, does other times. Great
condition otherwise.
Entire set $75.00 plus shipping or will consider trades of other PC
compatible parts. I'll also include text on
upgrading RAM to 1mb using common DRAMs piggybacked.
Contact me if interested by direct reply...

SIMMs, not SIPPs or DRAMs. I have 8 of these. Seimens type with 5 large
chips and two small chips.
Asking $10.00 (shipped) for the set or even swap for 8 PC compatible 1mb
30 pin type.
