"Normal" auctions are held on a specific day, which in real-world terms is much the same thing as an eBay end time.

Absolute bullshit. A sealed bid auction does not allow you to bid more than once, nor do you know if your bid has been exceeded. Nor is there any advantage/disadvantage in bidding early or late, as no-one knows what the bids are until the auction finishes. -- Cheers, Ade. Be where it's at, B-Racing! http://b-racing.com

I'm extremely tempted to agree with you on this (although I should point out that I don't really give a monkeys about sniping/not sniping - all of the auctions I've not won, I wouldn't have paid the final price even if I'd known it in advance). The only thing I'd say, which may or may not be seen as a disagreement, is that we don't /know/ that the eBay fixed end-time model does - or does not - hurt sellers. Sure, sniping ups the ante in the last few seconds much of the time - but would it have gone higher with an extending auction? Until (if) eBay try it, we will never know... -- Cheers, Ade.

Facit 4070 8 level Paper Tape Punch For Sale (Cambridge, UK)

by A.F.R.Bain＠statslab.cam.ac.uk

As part of an imposed old-hardware clear out, and the decision on the grounds of space to stick to 5 level tape for which I have a reader and printer, I've got a Facit 4070 paper tape punch for sale. In working order, complete with chad box. Instructions on connecting to a parallel port may be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~pmaydell/misc/cardpunch/dongle.htm It's in Cambridge, UK and is heavy so would be expensive to post anywhere!

Reminder - Trenton Computer Festival coming up...

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

A reminder to the list that the TCF 2003 is coming up this weekend... 28th Annual TRENTON COMPUTER FESTIVAL(TM) May 3-4, 2003 NJ Convention Center in the Raritan Center Edison, NJ Info here: http://www.pcshow.com/ While no longer held in Trenton (now in Edison NJ), it's a worthwhile show for the fleamarket where lots of classic computers and other hardware (I.C.s, and other cool things) can often be found cheap! If you are in traveling distance to Edison NJ, you might want to make the trip. While the flea has been getting smaller and smaller, AND is mostly dominated by recent PC stuff... There are still classic bargains to be had. Last year there were several complete Apple II systems (monitor, drives, CPU, joysticks, software) for $5.00 each. PowerMac 6100's for $10.00 (A pallet of them). A dealer was selling DEC Alpha Motherboards. LaserJet IIIp's for $40.00 (I bought one), and Lexmark Laser Printers (a small WinPrinter) for $50.00. Amigas of all stripes were there, lots of older systems I didn't know much about. I'm sure some of the "Big Iron" a lot of you here are talking about. S-100 boards here and there... Software, and other things... I'll report anything cool I see. I'm hoping to pick up a TRS-80 Model I or III (or my holy grail... an LNW-80), and maybe another Amiga. I passed up a late model white C-64 for $5.00 last year. This year, I won't. I also saw an SX-64 being sold. But didn't want to pay $100.00 for it. Since it didn't look like it was working. That's all! Regards, Al The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com

I don't play it much anymore, I bought the new Return to Castle Wolfenstein, someone told me it's based on the Quake 3 engine. Very nice, but needs a lot of memory. The Belkin Nostromo game controller really helps, too. But what am I supposed to do with the old PC's? I'm keeping the more interesting stuff like my PC and XT. And my personal favorite, the HP Vectra. But the typical beige box junk is cluttering up my basement. Everything from 286/386 parts to Pentium MMX systems, what can be done with them besides recycling the chassis and hoping you'll need the other parts eventually? I don't imagine many people need or want that old stuff, even on eBay. Speaking of eBay, I have some Apollo parts I'm going to put up just to see what happens. Odd stuff like WD7000 cards and memory cards and such. Once I gather up most of the other stuff I'll be offering it here on the list, but if you're interested in getting an old Apollo chassis and various parts and bits, let me know. I could probably ship the small stuff, but the big stuff is pretty heavy so I'd prefer to give it to someone local. I'll post a note here when I get it all together. -- /------------------------------------\ | http://jrollins.tripod.com/ | | KD7BCY kd7bcy(a)teleport.com | \------------------------------------/

eBay sniping

by ipscone＠msdsite.com

> > a much preferred model for me. It is where the sale is extended by a > minute or two > > when each bid comes in at the end of the auction. > This hurts the seller and should make no difference to the bidder. NO ONE should ever bid more than they are willing to pay. But with sniping, people often bid a little higher just to protect their bid. If there is an extention bids will still not rise higher than anyone is willing to bid. I have seen auctions go for $400 on items that normally wouldn't sell for $300. One bidder contacted me because two people bid that $400 and he said, "I guess I got stuck. I was just trying to protect my bid." He paid the auction but clearly bid more than he ever expected or wanted to pay. The people that whine the most about sniping, NEVER win auctions, unless they are the first to see a "low" buy-it-now, on popular items. They just NEVER bid high enough and would lose anyway.

Getting long; Was Re: eBay being sued over patent infringement

by ipscone＠msdsite.com

> > eBay prices may be inflated, from a professional dealer's or an > experienced > > hobbyist's perspective. > Actually, they are not inflated at all. Before ebay, prices were depressed because of the lack of exposure to the item. Supply and demand was still at work but the demand side is very much increased by ebay. On items were there is a fixed supply, like antiques and collectibles, the only side of the equation that can increase is demand. Therefore, the price rises to the fair and correct value. Simple! Of course, those that are whining about not being able to find bargains, don't believe that. :-)

IBM PC DOS 1.10 on a Hard Drive

by jforbes2＠mindspring.com

I have an early 64k 5150 PC, with an internal 10mb hard drive, and external power supply for the hd, and a Davong controller card. I figured I'd never get this thing running, but I lucked out and found another Davong ps and card, plus the original (July 1982) documentation and installation diskette!!!! $5 plus $20 shipping....a bargain for ebay! I finally got around to seeing if I could get it working. The drive in my machine is labelled 10 mg formatted. The docs and installation software mention 6mb and 12mb formatted drives...not 10mb. To install it, I followed the instructions in the manual...first, make a blank formatted bootable dos 1.10 floppy. Then copy the files from the Davong diskette to the new floppy. Now run the installation program, which configures and formats the hard drive. At first, I told it that the drive was 12mb, and it crashed during the installation. I changed to 6mb, and it worked fine. Now I have a system that boots from the floppy I made, and comes up in the A: drive...but that is the hard drive! B: is another partition on the hard drive (volume, actually), and C: is the floppy drive. Wierd to get used to. But PC DOS 1.x on a hard drive is a rather rare thing. I have a copy of PC DOS 1.00 also, and the Davong software has support for it also. That might be my next experiment. This drive identification scheme is just like on my Kaypro 10, which runs CP/M on it's hard drive (but the Kayrpo boots from the hard drive, unlike the PC) The Kaypro has user areas, which act a bit like the directories on DOS 2.x + -- Jim Visit the Selectric Typewriter Museum! http://www.mindspring.com/~jforbes2

Wanted: PC parts (was: Re: free pc stuff (Salford, UK))

Wrong side of the pond is right, I was thinking the same thing (another working AT board with CPU would be great to fix a machine who's board ate itself). Toth, where are ya? I've got my Token Ring which has sat here on the back burner pile since I've been dealing with other things. DB9 to Vampire connector cables (8ft), an IBM 8228, a 3Com LinkBuilder FMS TR 12, a Bay Networks BayStack Token Ring Hub 504 series 24port with MDA Fiber card and Network Management Module, an old AT case, some not-really working AT 386/486/Pentium boards, an ISA Cirrus Logic video card (worked as of 3 months ago when I last used it), etc. I even have a couple EISA Adaptec 1742 (?) cards floating about. Note: The Token Ring NICs are all PCI and are IBM and Madge, save one: an ISA Ring Adapter card that has BOTH ISA and MCA edges (just flip a daughtercard/backplate). Nothing to spare on NICs or PCI/ISA SCSI though, since they are used in my other boxes. Yours for shipping and maybe some LED's/kits? can never go wrong with blinky lights and loud fans, heh. All in all told, probably 2 boxes of stuff, weighing in at about 30-40 pounds. UPS ground/USPS last I checked to most lower 48 states locations is under $35.

free pc stuff (Salford, UK)

by classiccmp.org＠irrelevant.fsnet.co.uk

Hi, am trying to do a clear-out, and have a hefty box containing the following available FOC to anybody who wants to collect it, from Salford, UK, else it goes in the bin... There is nothing particularly noteworthy here, btw, but it might interest someone. 10 x 486 motherboards, some with processors, at least one with RAM. AT form factor. 6 x Pentium 1 motherboards, AT form factor 1 x Socket 7 motherboard, ATX form factor. works sometimes.. 4 x ISA internal modems 1 x PCI internal modem 1 x ISA game port card. All are from stipped down PCs, so may or may not work (though apart from the ATX board, I'd be pretty confident of them.) Also have a mountain of Floppy and IDE (ata33) cables whomever can pick through. I'll also probably be adding to this pile as I work my way through the boxes. I know there are processors and RAM of similar vintage, not to mention SCSI cards, network and video, etc, I can add to it. I have cases and some (working but 'need adjustment') monitors too I can throw in. If anybody is interested, drop me an email on robert at irrelevant dot com or ring on 07801 809928. I don't want to get into mailing individual bits out I am afraid, this is mainly an effort to make some space so I can work on a new bedroom! :-) regards Rob.

ANN: Altair32 Emulator v2.5 release notice

by rcini＠optonline.net

Hello, all: Tonight I posted to my Web site the latest release of the Altair32 Emulator for Windows. Through the hard, and much appreciated work of my closest project teammates, over the last few months we've made a few bug fixes and several enhancements that improve the functionality of the Emulator. The release notes include the complete detail, but the most significant changes include: * "Revision 0" front panel graphics. * Disk drive dialog replaced with bitmap graphics of real disk drive enhanced with disk sounds. * Full VT100 terminal support within the Windows Console terminal option. Now, you can add color to your BASIC programs by using CHR$ codes. * Added the option of using a real terminal as the console through the host's serial port. * Updated unified configuration dialogs. * Added the ability to create blank disk files on the fly. * Revised documentation. Enjoy the emulator. For the next release we're working on bitmapped graphics for the paper tape reader and possibly a Z80 CPU "plug-in". If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me a line.

Amiga CATS developer CD 1.0, IBM Storyteller Live

by mark_k＠totalise.co.uk

Hi, I posted a question about this to an Amiga newsgroup a while ago, but no-one there seemed to know much about it. I have a CD-ROM produced by Commodore-Amiga Inc. labelled CATS Developer CD V1.0 (CATSCD10). This was probably distributed to registered Amiga developers circa 1991. The disc doesn't contain an ISO 9660 filesystem. Examining the raw data seems to suggest there might be a presentation authored with the IBM StoryTeller Live! package (StoryTeller Live! was a multimedia authoring package for DOS PCs, probably similar to Macromedia Director). I have a copy of the ST.EXE player program on an old magazine cover CD. One possibility might be that my CD was mis-labelled at the replicator, but that's unlikely. If anyone is curious enough to investigate further, I have uploaded a picture of the CD and image files of its contents to http://www.a32768.fsnet.co.uk/CATS_CD_V1.0/ (I split the image file into 4MB chunks and compressed each using gzip. To recreate the file decompress all .gz files, then join them in order.) Regards, -- Mark

DSD 880 Q Bus RL02 emulator

by runtime＠wzrd.com

I have a Data Systems Design DSD 880 Q-Bus drive. It dates from 1982 or 1983, and is a RL02 emulator (as I remember); there's a big old 8" drive (Shugart, I think) in a 19" wide rack mount. Also, there's a Q-Bus interface. The last time I used it was maybe 1985, but more likely 1984, and it worked. It could be set to look like an RL02 with 5 mb but also you could set it up to give something like 7 or 8 mb, as I remember. A quick look in the old documentation box doesn't show anything there for it. I have no Q-Bus equipment on which to test it; I wouldn't bet on its working at the moment, but it might. Storage conditions have been, let's say, casual. I'd be happy to let it go for ACTUAL SHIPPING COST. It's located in Buffalo, NY. Don Mitchell

ClassicCmp Auction Site?

In what way(s) would you qualify anyone to participate in the auctions? A ClassicCmp auction and/or trade site would be a great idea, but I'd bet that anyone who still wanted the most money for their item, would still list it on eBay for the most exposure and money potential. This can't really be escaped. There will be the ongoing problem of people just posting eBay auctions to the auction/trades site too.

HP storage formats on ss80 protocol disks

by peterbrown10＠hotmail.com

Hi All, Thanks for the help with LIF formats and CS80 protocol. I now have the bare bones of an application working. Currently the application runs on a PC fitted with a NI GPIB board. It reads LIF formatted hardrives (in my case one of two 9133's that I have) extracting the file catalog. A file can then be selected from the catalog and its binary image written to the PC's hard drive. This means that I can back-up the files on one of the 9133 drives before reformatting it :) That's as far as I've got at the moment - it has taken rather longer than I had first hoped but seems to be pretty stable now. I could write some more code to allow sets of files to be selected from the binary images stored on the PC and then written back to the CS80 protocol hard drive (either re-formatting the hard drive or appending the new files to the existing catalog). This would allow easy file interchange (and back-up) for people with CS80 / LIF based computers. Perhaps a database of binaries / files could be made available on the internet to download as required? What would the copyright implications be if such a database were made available? Would there be any interest from people with 9000 200 and 300 systems on the list? If there is enough interest I will look doing the extra coding sooner rather than putting it on the pile of things that I 'really shoud do one day'.

Some serious punched-card equipment on Ebay

by norm-classiccmp＠docnorm.com

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2724747600&category=1247 Someone in Minneapolis/St. Paul has quite a lot of IBM punched card equipment up for sale. They mention 029, 077, 129, 514, and 526 -- it looks like a large number of punches with perhaps one each of the 077, 514, and 526. The auction ends in 8 days and is for "the right to contact me on the above machines" -- so it looks like, if you want some or all of the equipment, you'll have a chance to make a deal rather than take it en bloc.

eBay being sued over patent infringement

by Innfogra＠aol.com

The suit is over the process of running the auction which another person patented in the early 90s. It is an interesting suit. At one time in 2000 or so eBay offered to pay licensing fees, then opted to fight it. Actually, as a seller, I think the eBay process sucks. It is the second best bidder that really sets the price. The advantage really is to the bidder. Another very successful Internet auction run by LabX is a much preferred model for me. It is where the sale is extended by a minute or two when each bid comes in at the end of the auction. WWW.labx.com I do much better for lab equipment here than on eBay. Auctions are much more like real auctions. LabX is a totally different, more real auction model. Very successful also. I did an interesting experiment with some identical Olympus microscope tubes (parts). They did sell for much more on eBay than LabX (av $75 vs. $20). On the other hand an IBM HPLC did much better on LabX than eBay ($400 vs $35) and saw a lot of action at the end. To keep this on topic I do find classic computers on the LabX auction site that were primarily used as lab controllers. They often go cheap. Paxton Astoria, OR

PDP-11 Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11 (Originally Produced by Tim Shoppa)

The last two times I posted this, another person contacted me either for help or to request the CDs. This will be the last time for about 6 months unless more people reply. In regard to the Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11 that Tim Shoppa originally produced: I am in the middle of finishing a second (very small) batch of CDs and could easily add a few additional copies. I will be making all copies of the CD images from: ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/cd-images/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSX-11/ Since not everyone has both a high speed internet connection and a CD burner, I thought it would be helpful to make them available. If you have both requirements and are using Windows 98 SE / Nero Burning, I can help with the details if you don't know how to burn a CD from an "Image File". I have even been able to produce a label for each CD that is close to the original label from Tim Shoppa, although since they were scanned (THANK YOU FOR THE HELP), they are not perfect. They are available at $ 5 / $ 9 / $ 12 for 1 / 2 / 3 CDs. In addition, I understand that Memorex Black CD-Rs have a longer shelf life and are available at Business Depot. If anyone wants those instead, add $ 1 for each CD that you are requesting. Thus those amounts are $ 6 / $ 11 / $ 15 Please contact me directly for my snail mail address. I picked up some Memorex Black CD-R blanks and started on the copies for those who have already requested that a Black CD-R be used. Please include your mailing address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In general, I will regard any funds you send as a gift so that if anyone really can't afford the CDs, please state why that is so. Outside of the US, probably about $ 2 should be sufficient for extra postage. All amounts are in US dollars. Please ask if you are not in the US. No point in converting twice. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.
