I've got a road trip to Chicago, Illinois coming up in a few weeks... Are there any potential sources for DEC MicroVaxen / QBus / early Alpha bits in the area that merit checking?? Thanks.... Stan

by fernande＠internet1.net

Hello, Awhile back I found a box of SCO Opendesktop on QIC 24 tape. Well I can't it to load off the tape!! I get all the way through to the point it wants the tape, but it doesn't find anything. I can hear the drive working. I've never used a tape drive before.... any ideas what might be wrong? The tape was un-opened when I got it. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA

Actually, the Kombi stands a bit taller than a station wagon, but doesn't sit as high above the road as an SUV... IIRC... sort-of a cross between them, with some genes from a VW Microbus and Land Rover thrown in (although Kombis predate the Microbus)... I'm told many are outfitted for camping excursions. -dq

OT: DAVE 2.5.2 for Mac

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the V2.5.2 updater for DAVE? After about 2 1/2 years I'm finally using the copy of 2.5 I bought, and it looks like Thursby no longer has the updater available for download (instead it looks like they want you to buy a 3.1 upgrade).

Grid LT 1755 bat indicator

by lgwalker＠mts.net

I've scoured the net, even joined the URGrid mail-list, read the Tandy specs closely, but can't find any info as to what the flashing red battery indicator means on my Grid 1755. Even the Grid proponents pass on it. It works but the battery had gone belly-up. I bought a "new" battery and for a while the former orange changed to green but later on changed to the flashing red. It accepts minimal charge but not enough to power the HD when off charge and displays the low-power steady red indicator before dying. If it was simply indicating a dead battery the old one wouldn't display a steady orange. Could it be lack of enough amperage from my adaptor to be able to charge ? I submit myself to the collective knowledge of the list. Lawrence Reply to: lgwalker(a)mts.net Love of the Goddess makes the poet go mad he goes to his death and in death is made wise. Robert Graves
