Does anyone have a good source for new DSDD 5-1/4" floppy disks? I've got a bunch I can probably recycle here, but I'd like to get new ones to use with my Altos, Osbornes and IBM 5150. Thanks -- Pat

Would this model IBM monitor do me any good?

by fernande＠internet1.net

I'm looking at IBM monitors on Ebay. Would a model 9504 monitor, at .11 dot pitch do me any good? It is a fixed frequency mono (grey scale?) monitor. I'd want to use it with an RS6000 7013-530 or a PS/2 77 running OS/2 Warp 3. The 77 is currently equipted with an XGA2 card, but that could be changed, I supppose. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA

pics of SGI SIMMs

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

Here's a few JPEGs of an SGI 4D/35 SIMM-- it's either a 2MB or an 8MB SIMM, I don't know which. The 4MB SIMMs have only half the RAM chips installed. Oh-- http://www.yubyub.net/ratio might be helpful. At least I didn't have to put it in a followup! Bob

Interesting QBUS Card RDC-16

by dave＠naffnet.org.uk

I have just received an interesting QBUS card from Germany after an EBAY auction. It is a quad card that is a MSCP RAM-disk (16MB), which additionally gives 4MB of QBUS Memory (well, it could scarcely give any more, since that's all Q-22 can address). This beastie is the RDC-16 from See First Technology, and came with a manual dated May 1988. According to this document, this card can have its capacity extended with up to two RDE-32 cards (you guessed it - 32MB each), with these cards being connected in a similar way to LMI - via a ribbon cable. So, if anyone happens to have a RDE-32 just kicking around then I'm looking for a couple... This card is even bootable, with the correct jumper settings, although the talk is of one extension board and MicroVMS:- I somehow doubt that OVMS 7.2 would fit too well! Anyway, the card is alive and well in the MVIII. As an aside. does anyone know what processors the Clearpoint Research DCME M30/16MB cards work with? Cheers, Dave.

Windows V3.2?!?

by nemesis-lists＠icequake.net

> Only a certain version of Win32 though. I do not remember however. I tried > once to get hotmetal pro working under OS/2, but I think the Win32 version > was higher than what OS/2 could use. Note that Win32S is a subset of Win32; Win32S support allows 32-bit interfaces to some of the Win API. It's not the same thing as having a true Win32 OS like 95 or NT. Programs written for Win32 operating systems will requre Odin (odin.netlabs.org) to run under OS/2. Odin is an executable and library translator that basically takes Win API calls and maps them to OS/2 system calls. Odin rocks, mainly because OS/2 and Win32 are so similar in design. :) -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253

This week's find

by tothwolf＠concentric.net

This certainly has to be one of my better finds to date. I'm now the proud owner of 6 brand new i8008 cpus (sorry, not for trade, as I have plans for these.) Finding them the way I did was kinda strange... A couple of days ago, on a whim, I called a local electronics dealer and asked if they had any i8008 chips in stock, and much to my amazement, he had 6 in the parts bin. :) -Toth

The answer is: Mekel 460XL Microfiche scanner

by Antonio.Carlini＠riverstonenet.com

>There are approximately 400 fiche/ft and 100 11x17 images >per fiche or 200 8.5x11 images per fiche. So that's maybe 320,000 US Letter size pages. Assuming 70KB/page, I make that 21GB or 30-ish CD-ROMs (or a mere 5 DVDs, if they're cheaper over there these days). Assuming a scan time of 10s per page, you will need over 37 days of scan time to get all the data (I'm guessing you can run it in unattended mode...) I assume you are going to make this available on a web page or two, I think I can download it all in just about 60 hours. Looks good to me :-) >it. The plan is TIFF with G4 compression which works out >to be half the size of an equivalent PDF and can be converted I think if you PDF stuff that has been G4'd you'll find that the size increase is minimal. Stuff I've scanned comes out of the scanner as PDF but *not* G4 compression, that's why it's a little bigger. >to PDF by the consumer if desired. I haven't found a good >way to convert a PDF back into a TIF... We shall see >how good the process works... I believe that Acrobat 5 can go from PDF to other stuff, but I think we only have V4 kicking around, so I cannot check. No problem - just supply TIFFs and I'll happily turn them into PDFs myslef (just this once, you understand :-) ) Seriously, if this works, I'll dig out my four linear mm of fiche and send them over (always assuming they're not already in your stack).
