Just a heads up in case anyone here is interested, Ebay has what appears to be a complete or nearly complete set of library bound Popular Electronics. The kicker is that the descriptions says pickup in Tennessee or mutual agreement. This seems like a *really* great buy since it also includes 1975 (the MITS Altair issues). The auction number is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3014129873&category=15050. Current price is $49.99 but was "stuck" at $49.95 for a few days with a BIN of $75.00.

Atari PC motherboards

by Arkanus＠t-online.de

Hello (1. If I'm in the wrong place - sorry / 2.My English is terrible I know) I own an old PC4. It is still running well. My question to you: Does someone know the jumper settings?????????? I searched for all jumpers on the board and found 12. One of it is pink (JP10). My system only got 1MB of RAM. Now I added 4 more RAM. But in the BIOS they are disabled. How can I activate them? Hope you can help me in that way... :) Regards, Joerg

Don't throw them away :-) Yes, HP 7933 and 7935 drives. 7933 is the "fixed-pack" version of the 7935. Pretty much the same drive but the load/unload button is blank and doesn't do anything when you push it. There was an earlier version of the pack for the 7933 (which was shipped before the 7935); it wasn't as robust and there was an HP field service program to replace those older packs with the newer ones in drives with support contracts. Of course this involved scheduling time when the customer could back up and restore all the data on the drive (or volume set). -Frank McConnell

odd Data General stuff

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I found a couple of odd DG parts yesterday. One is a "Paddle Board". Copywrited 1974. It's about 5" x 1 1/2" and has an edge connector on one side and a bunch of small individual wires soldered to it. The wires are about 18" long and have small number tags on them and appear to have been used to connect to multiple small devices. The other piece is a round wiring cable with a DB-25M connector on one end and a male and female HP-IB(?) connector on the other. The cable is black and about 6' long. Anyone know what these are for?

A small QBus system piggybacked into a SMS Hard/Floppy drive box. I remember one with 8" drives and one with 5" drives, rack mount approximately 2U in size. SMS made all sorts of Q-Bus interface cards. I think they might have gotten their start with 8" floppy controllers but I am not sure. I know they made serial port cards. Some SMS cards are marketable. I think they made a SCSI. I would think the floppy controllers because they supported other types of drives than DEC. I will have to look into my box and see what I have left. I don't think there is a lot of support out there. Paxton Astoria, OR

Old .MAC files from MS-DOS

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I've been digging through my old floppies looking for some *OLD* datafiles, and I ran across some "Star Fleet Battles" Files from the old SFB GEnie forum. I vaguely remember that .MAC files were some sort of Graphics file, but what sort? Does anything modernish read them? Zane

UFG: PLCC socket

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Up For Grab: Textool/3M 264-5086 64 pin PLCC ZIF-type socket. A few weeks ago someone here was complaining that they couldn't find any PLCC sockets. I found one yesterday and grabbed it. The person that gives me the best story about why they need it can have it. It's soldered to a small circuit and both are mounted on an aluminium plate about 4" x 8". Postage should be minimal. Joe

Seeking for Coprocessor boards for IBM compatibles

by bernd＠kopriva.de

Hi, i'm still looking for coprocessor boards for IBM compatibles (AT-BUS and/or PCI) ... At the moment, i'm specially interested in - Definicon DSI-32 The last one that i saw was offered on eBay some months ago, but unfortunately, Al Kossow grabed that one :-( - Z8000 "Trump Card" (Ciarcia) I never saw an offering for that card. In 1984, when that card was build, i did not have an IBM compatible (and i didn't have the money to even think to buy that card) ... but i may be interested in any other card ... I appreciate any hints ! Thanks Bernd BTW: I'm still looking for documentation/software for my YARC ProTran and Sprinter boards ...
