Nice haul!
I'm going to guess that the following would be of definite use to a bunch of
us. What are their age? As far as I know they aren't available:

available):

In boy scouts, we cheated. We used a plastic box to make the packed
cubes, and a spray bottle of water to make the blocks stick together. A
light misting on the top edge of a block, then press the next block down
onto it and hold for a second... igloo superglue!
It worked well enough to get the structure finished... alas we didn't
make it big enough for all of us in the troop to fit inside (10 of us?),
and the pushing and shoving that followed made quick work of tearing it
back down.

Any good sources of MFM or RLL drives. This would be for a Tandy 6000
running Xenix.
I'm looking for 70 Meg or higher MFM (110 RLL capacity).
Thanks,
Kelly
Picked this up from the LEM-Swap list, passing it on in case anyone was

I need to get rid of a pair of Commodore 64 computers. Is there any group

Does this open up the market to sell used big iron to drug dealers? This
way they can justify their extra power usage and heat output.

Actually, the standards allow for both 50/125 and 62.5/125 for 10baseFL
and FDDI, and everything else up to Gigabit.

I'm about to put some 10Base-FL in and I was wondering if someone could
tell me what kind of fiber I should be looking for? Is it 50/125 MMF like
GigE? Or is it 62.5/125 MMF like FDDI?
Peace... Sridhar
All,
I used to have an AX/2 server at home quite a while ago, and all I have
left is the hard drive. I want to get this software off the drive, but
I threw out my last MFM controller card ages ago.
Does anybody have a copy of the old RM NET LM software that ran (runs?)
Z-Net networks of PC186 machines? Even better, does anyone have an ISA
MFM controller they'd be willing to swap for money? :) eBay hasn't
turned up anything :(
Best wishes,
Peter.
Hi Pat,
Do you have any of the IBM 3164 terminals left?
Lisa
[demime 1.01a removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of lisa.parmar.vcf]
I went thinking I was going to pick up an OT DY4 PPC embedded machine,
instead it is an DY4 Orion with dual 8" floppies, the manual, a box of disks
and a Volker Craig terminal.
A few sun keyboards and a unopened copy of PharLap thrown in for good measure.
My wife met me at the door saying this is the last machine, so I'll have to
get the stuff from the trunk on the weekend.
Does anyone have any tales to tell about the DY4?
I'm also looking for drive rails for a SGI Personal Iris.
Can anyone suggest a good book on file compression?
Or, does anyone know where I can find C source for a simple file compression
routine? The program needs to be portable to Linux, MS-DOS, CP/M and
CP/M-86. (I am capable of making changes in the code to accomodate different
compilers)
Of course, there are compression routines which run under each of these
OSs, but I need to run the same routine under all four OSs.
TIA for any help --

Date: 2003-02-06 02:58:03 PST
ACORN system I 6502 Microcontroller kit as shipped from Acorn in a box
full of packing beads. Never assembled, so time to get out your glue
can and build it yourself.
Kit contains 1 PCB (Issue 3 200000) Dates from 1980
1 Bag of components
1 Bag of ICs (incl SY6502 and the hard to find INS8154D,
you were supposed to supply the others yourself -- presumably
desoldered from dead boards) and a load of IC sockets.
1 Schematic Diagram
I can almost certainly also locate a copy of the construction manual
writen from Acorn's Market Square Address, most likely an original!
Reasonable Offers (maybe around 40 pounds but no reasonable offer
refused)?

Hi,
I am the proud new owner of an HP 85. Printer belts a little ratty but works
fine.
However when I attempted to Rew/Load/Cat any of the tapes I received with it
I got a stall error.
I cleaned the capstan which is intact, and did not fall apart, as I
understand they tend to do. The tape motor spins fine when I pressed the
tape sensor button inside and hit Rew.
Finally after a bunch of attempts the tapes began to spin and I could
perform the Load, Cat and Ctape operations. I still seem to get fairly
frequent stall errors however. Do you think I need to replace the capstan?
Can you get them (or the printer belts)anywhere, or should I use the silicon
aquarium tube method mentioned in the archives? Any other thoughts
appreciated.
Eventually hope to hook it up to a floopy drive but need to find a mass
storage rom.
Also do you know of any good resources on the web for the 80 series as I
haven't found a whole lot.
Thanks,
RH
(Whoops... let's try that again with the editing *finished* this time...
For those who haven't been to http://65c02.tripod.com/ , the SBC-2
is a single-board 6502 with the following onboard:
o 1 MHz 65c02
o 32K of static RAM
o 32k of EEPROM
o 2 x 65C22 Versatile Interface Adapters (VIA)
o 1 x 65C51 Asynchronous Interface Adapter.
o Eight 16-byte address blocks decoded for I/O (3 used onboard)
This will be the second run of boards. At the moment, Daryl has
ten orders. The deadline is 15-Feb.
Picture at http://65c02.tripod.com/sbc2.jpg Current cost breakdown is:
(from Daryl's announcement)
$26.20 per board
$4-6 shipping US
$4-14 shipping outside US
$2 for the serial cable
(The serial cable is a 10-pin IDC<->DE9M, like the kind you find
on Socket3 and Socket7 PeeCee motherboards).
No guarantees that more orders will hit a new price point, so if you
have an interest in a compact CMOS 6502 SBC, write Daryl: 65c02(a)softcom.net
Do it soon.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the SBC-2 except as a potential
customer.

Then filter on the headers! It's not that hard...

Accepted by whom? All but one of the lists I'm on *don't do this* (not to
mention the ones I admin) and the one that did I disliked, and unsubbed as
soon as a better list was available... And this is a "standard" just like
HTML email is currently a "standard" - it's not even compatible with
itself, and in all, it's just a plain bad idea... IMH-But-SysAdmin-Based-O...

That sounds like the beginning of a 2-hour-pissing-match I had with my
father-in-law a *long* time ago... "I'm not saying this because you don't
want to become an auctioneer..."
In all fairness, if it were a *user configurable* option, I wouldn't give a
whit, so long as I could turn it off... otherwise, you know my vote... but
how many times do we have to vote on this, anyway???
Prost,

As sick as it seems... these kind of accidents are exactly what brings
about the safer ways of doing things.
Nearly all safety measures we as society have for everything can be
traced back to someone (or many someones) being injured or killed.
