I'm located 25 mi. south of Chicago. This computer was bought around 1985 for around 38 thousand dollars including software and support. It was used to evaluate Cummins diesel engines by running through various sequences measuring the time and pressures it monitored and compared these values with the database loaded. the unit ran from two floppy's, I have to add the software was very buggy and the support program from Cummins engine company did not help much.

Superb Exidy System on Ebay in Holland

I knew the Ace didn't use the ULA but I thought the basic architecture was similar to the ZX80/ZX81 (apart from the screen memory, which I knew about). There was certainly a rumour at the time that that was the case, but I dare say that was as much due to the similar size and shape of case as anything else :-) Perhaps "inspired by" is better than "based on". I have the manuals for ZX80, ZX81, and the Jupiter ACE, and the service manual for the ZX81, but the only one of those machines I possess is the common-or-garden ZX81. Twice I've just missed getting a ZX80, and I've seen a few, but I've only seen seen one ACE. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Solaris 2.4

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

> The way I remember this, the first release that bore the "Solaris" > name when released was 2.5 . Nope. They did start with SunOS, the last of which being V4.1.4_U1. When they moved to the Solaris name, SunOS got renamed to Solaris 1.1. The U1 release I have here is Solaris 1.1.2 for SPARC, which _is_ SunOS 4.1.4 with the U1 patch kit. I assume that Solaris 1.1.1 (which I also have, somewhere) is either SunOS 4.1.3, 4.1.3_U1 or 4.1.4 without the U1 patch. The first non-SunOS release I believe was V2.3. I have pretty much all releases of Solaris here, and I seem to start with V2.3, and then up, all the way to Solaris 8. That's when I stopped doing Sun, soo.. :) I lost (read: already deleted) the original posting, so.. can whoever started this thread contact me offlist; we'll get you V2.4 :) Cheers, Fred

Replacement Power Supply for old Toshiba Laptop?

by bwfile＠yahoo.com

Hello, I'm new here, and I've got a problem with an old Laptop. I just purchased a Toshiba T5200 in a flea market, which can be seen here... http://web.ukonline.co.uk/zelandeth/computers/t5200-100/ ...and I bought it for $1! A total bargain, but...unsurprisingly, it's broken...kinda broken. I've opened it up to determine the cause of what's wrong with it, as it won't turn on. A little tinkering later, and, boom, the power supply of the Laptop fries itself up. Damage looks bad, and it stinks really bad...a poisonous sort of smell, so I've thrown the offending power supply to the garbage. Now I have a laptop...with no power supply. But, is it possible to buy a replacement power supply for this? Or, is it even possible to just hook it up to a regular PC's power supply? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Xerox 860 IPS looking for a good home

by loki＠visi.com

Hi there, I'm not a member of the list, I found it through a Google search, but I'm trying to find a home for a Xerox 860 IPS that I have. Its been in storage for the last few years in my garage, but as far as I know it works (although I haven't turned it on in a very long time). I have the model with the portrait style screen, and I also have a daisy wheel printer, the system disks, word processing software, and the user manuals. There's even a slew of 8" disks that would go with it as well. I'd rather give this to an enthusiast, rather than just throwing it away. Its really a cool system and I think deserves better than that. I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, so keep that in mind. This thing is hideously expensive to ship anywhere; it'd have to be picked up. Thanks, Let me know if anyone would like this beastie. Also, because I'm not on the list you should respond to my home e-mail rather than to just the list; otherwise, I won't see your response. -Pat Thielen- _______________________________________________________________ Axolotyl Studios Wildlife, Portrait and Fine Art Photography www.axolotyl-studios.com loki(a)visi.com ICQ #10509612 _______________________________________________________________ "Now that's entertainment!" -Vlad Tepes-

I've got a IBM 760CD Thinkpad that I want to try and replace the HD with a larger one that I have on hand.

Xerox 860 IPS looking for a good home

by Innfogra＠aol.com

This is a classic Xerox Word Processing system from the early 1980s. It should be saved. It sounds like it is a great setup and complete with the full page monitor and printer. It would make a great museum exhibit. We were scrapping these in 1990. There are few around. I may have some of the boot software disks in my storage although this system is complete with software and extras. Paxton Astoria, OR

I have no idea. Unless they needed something more sophisticated or powerful to extract all the data (a collection of still images, video, sounds, cartographic data, geophysical data, text, etc) along with the indexing, in such a way as to preserve the data, its layout, and the cross-referencing.

It's probably an IBX daughter card. They are probably 1024 byte sectored MFM encoded, I assume for RMX ? HD recovery, as people have said, is more difficult.

Old computers

by gfrajkor＠ccs.carleton.ca

Does anyone have an address and some contacts at the computer museum that NASA's Ames Research centre in California is putting together? There was an article about it in the New Scientist Magazine. Here's the reason: some time ago a museum allegedly building in Colorado approached me about taking away some old machines I have... I promised them, but nothing every came of it and the storage bills are killing me now that I am retired. I will give them away, but I do want to do it on a wholesale basis rather than piece by piece. Here's what I have: Dec PDP 11/34, two RK06 drives (was working when retired). Drives are, of course, the big washing machine ones. 11/34 is in an "executive" rack. Dec PDP ll/23, two RL02 drives, in usual tall rack. Broken pin in ribbon cable to the mini-drives used for booting and diagnosis. RL02s were working when retired. Lots of manuals and some spare platters for the drives. Quick and Timely (Seattle company) CP/M box, S100 bus. Working when last used. Matrox (Montreal company) CP/M box, with old analog-digital conversion attachment, used for scientific experiment data gathering when retired. No documentation, but some boot floppies for the above. Commodore 8296. Beautiful looks. Last Commodore entry into the 8-bit business computer field. With dual floppy drive. Some software. A few miscellaneous Atari STs. monitors, floppy drives. Since I am in Ottawa, California might be a long way to transport the stuff but since some of it seems rare now and the Ames Research centre seems intent on collecting stuff, they might be willing to pay for a truck >from here. I would appreciate advice. ahoj -- ------ Jan George Frajkor _!_ 221 Arlington Ave. --!-- Ottawa, Ontario | Canada K1R 5S8 /^\ aa003(a)ncf.ca /^\ /^\ gfrajkor(a)ccs.carleton.ca h: 613 563-4534 fax: 613 520-6690
