Just last week I obtained a Philips Micron 2001, with no technical
information, and would like to find out something about it. (Circa 1981)
Thanks

Sounds like an IBM 029 keypunch... (pictures and some notes on my website).

Hi,
I just got an Apple III with the profile HD. Does anyone knows how I can
access the HD?
I can boot SOS but from there I'm stuck what is the HD designation?
Any info on both the Apple III and the profile HD will be apreciated
Thanks.

I wonder if anyone on this list knows anything about the minicomputers
that Philips were making in the 1970's? They seem to be somewhat uncommon,
even though a lot of different models seem to have been produced.
Two that I know about are the P850 (a 16 bit machine, with a maximum of 2K
words of Core and 9 I/O slots, all built from discrete TTL), and the P851
(a later machine using LSI chips (SPALU was the ALU/register slice, PLANET
was the control sequencer, taking a maximum of 32K words of MOS RAM). The
P852, P853, P854, P855 (== P850 with more instructions), P856, P857 and
P860 are all mentioned in passing in the manuals, but I have no real
details
The other thing I am trying to find information on is the AMT DAP
(Distributed Array Processor), which seems to have been a square array of
custom single-bit processors. It's a little too recent for this list (it
seems to have come out about 9 years ago), but as it's not a PC, I doubt
anyone will mind discussing it here.

Did you know you sent an attachment with your email? "Richard A Cini.vcf"
Why?
Does anyone have the following Apple stuff for sale??
- System Saver fan for the Apple II+/e
- software for the Apple-made Apple II SCSI card
- Mac 400k floppy drive (with or without case)
- Apple SC20 or equiv. external hard drive (the one originally used with
the FatMac;
connects to the floppy port)
- IBM 5-1/4" floppy drive for the original IBM-PC (which I just got from
my uncle). Model is
Tandon TM100-2A with a baseplate number of 172289-001. Mine seems to
have a
short to ground in the spindle motor circuit (board attached to the
rear of the drive).
Alternatively, if anyone has a repair/serivce manual for that
machine or the drive
itself, I can make any repairs to it.
I'd also love to get my hands on a IIci system (for real use) and a Mac
Portable.

How can I get a copy of a previous list digest? I can't find the message
that I saved that had the list instructions!!

I kinda thought that was too much... It was $175 for just the box -- no
keyboard or monitor or harddrive. This place was kinda overpriced. I think
I spent too much as it was.
I got the following:
Mac Portable (no ps, condition unknown): 40.00
Altima 2 portable (286, mono VGA, works): 45.00
Grid Gridcase 3 (no ps, cond unknown): 45.00
Dash 030 (1 floppy, 1 340mb HD, cond unk): 100.00
6 bay scsi case (no scsi cable, tho): 15.00
AppleCD 300plus: 15.00
External 300ish Scsi hd: 20.00
Some weren't bad, others were...
