One more thing: I wouldn't upgrade a machine, as that just makes it something that it wasn't meant to be, but if you wanted, look in Computer Shopper magazine by ZD, or look in http://www2.classifieds200.com and go to computers then motherboards, then chips. You shouldn't upgrade, if you asked me. See you, Tim D.

386 to 486 upgrade chip wanted

by photze＠batelco.com.bh

The 386's are 12 years old, but most machines that have them are 9 years or less. The 486's will celebrae their 8th birthday soon, but most computers that had them (outside of servers and REAL pro computers) were made in '92-'95, then they were replaced by faster Pentiums. Hope that helps, Tim D.

Where do you go to find stuff?

by Eros＠mail.dec.com

I suspect this question would be a good addition to an FAQ... Where do you tend to go to find classic computer equipment? Around here (Delaware) I hit garage sales (pretty slim pickin's), swap meets, Salvation Army and Goodwill. A local chemical company has a surplus disposition center that parcels out a limited number of PC and Mac systems. In addition, there's a twice-weekly Goodwill that has occasionally yielded something useful. Any other suggestions? -- Tony

DEC LK201 keyboard

by Mzthompson＠aol.com

Someone gave me a box of 10 or so DEC LK201 keyboards. A couple of them work and the rest do not. Several seem to have the same problem in that the 4 status LED's all light up, but the keyboard does not respond. Has anyone encountered this problem and repaired the keyboard? Does anyone have a schematic for this keyboard that they could copy and send to me? Having several DEC machines, it would be nice to have a few spare keyboards. Thanks, Mike Thompson

IBM System 36

by Deborah909＠aol.com

Dear Colleagues, I am the information systems coordinator of a large social service agency in Boston that owns a System 36 that we no longer use. In addition to the system itself, we have a printer, software, manuals, and several workstations. Can you give us some assistance in donating or recycling our equipment? Many thanks! Best regards from Deborah Elizabeth Finn Information Systems Family Service of Greater Boston 34 1/2 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02108 617-523-6400, ext. 5506 (voice) 617-523-3034 (fax) fsgb(a)fsgb.org (internet) deborah909(a)aol.com (internet)
