You've done well Luke Skywalker. This is an effective announcement and good use of the web for current list of speakers. What about newsgroups? Who is sending this announcement to them and which ones? How about funding? What do you think? You're doing a good overall job. All good things start small. No matter who or how many attend, you will be able to say you did it. Mind you, the bills must be paid. Please let me tell you a short story. I thought we had a great idea for a fund-raiser for the COMMPUTERSEUM. We would hold a public viewing of Triumphs of the Nerds complete with door prizes and lots'o fun (picture this: the ticket numbers were printed in binary, octal, and hex yet the door prize numbers were called out in decimal, so to win you first had to convert!). We called it Nerd Night, got lots'o publicity, a nice theater on campus at the University of Waterloo (perhaps you've heard of it by its nickname - Microsoft U.). Everyone said what a great idea, ha, ha Nerd Night in a city of nerds - we called it a Nerdly Celebration, PBS gave us a free copy of Triumph and permission to use it to raise funds. Everything pointed towards success...little did we know...At the appointed time the theater was empty soon three people showed up. Gee wiz, $30 in receipts. Oh well more will come, we thught, so we started the film. Suddenly it occured to me; if we show the film thereby renting the theater and no one else comes we'll lose money. So in the dark I stoped the VCR and when the lights came on explained the situation to the audience and offered to let them borrow the tapes and return their money. Everyone understood and agreed, two borrowed the tapes, all three left their money with the COMMPUTERSEUM. A failure? Perhaps, but we learned and probably all sorts of people think a Nerd Night was held in Waterloo, Ontario., well hey, it did. It's on record.

Here we go AGAIN!

by dseagrav＠bsdserver.tek-star.net

I finally got the '44 to it's (so far) permanent location, and I'm trying to get it all back together, minus the rack (Looking for someplace to put it, it's too bug to get up 8 floors!). I may try anyway... The problem is, I have to get everything in ONE ba11 (Due to lack of power). So, I have no massbus stuff, and I only need 16 com ports for now, so I got 2 DZ11s, the processor, the UDA50, and 1.75MB of RAM into the processor box. My test was to fire it all up, and do "b du0" and UDA50 would wait forever for the RA81 to answer. The RA is still down in my car (I get to unload it myslef - oh boy!) and I can't bring it up yet. Anyway, everything powers up, but when I try to get it to boot, I get to wait about 5 seconds, then I get $20 MPC=15 (I think the $ may have been something else) This (According to the manual) means "the processor started a transfer, but it timed out". Do I have to play with the backplane to get the new config to work? I have NPG cards in everything that's empty. The UDA50 strobes like it's supposed to... The bus is laid out like this: +-----+----+---------+ | | | PRCSSR | | RH11| DZ | | |MBUS | | | +-----+----+---------+ That's then way it WAS. The UDA50 is where the DZ was, the DZ moved to the RH11 area, because when the UDA50 was there, it said the CPU was halted. (All the lights were on) I have an M950 joining the CPU to the UDA, and an M9500 (I think) joining the UDA to the DZs. And the bus IS terminated! I also have NPG plugs on the M950 and M9500. Also: There appears to be a Road Runner (Real, not the animated one) etched on the the 2nd UDA50 card, bu the name. Anyone know anything about that?

There are enough apps out there for MINIX for the basics, and the list grows everyday. Also I was thinking of disk space, MINIX only requires 30mb of space, so it would be ideal for portables... As for being simple to install... well, since when did people like us who collect classic machines worry about anything being simple ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________Live from the GLRS The Man From D.A.D ----------------------------------------------------------------

Sinclair kits

Hi! You probably already know, but I just found a keen site selling Sinclair ZX81 kits in the US. Apparantly they opicked up the original kits years ago, and are only now trying to sell them. I am interested in putting one of these togeather, as the ZX81 was a fascinating computer, and highly significant in the Home Computer industry - especially in the UK. Anyway, it's at: http://www.users.interport.net/~zebra/ts and all the standard disclaimers apply. :) Adam.

Atari 400 power supply

by adam＠merlin.net.au

I finally managed to get one of these yesterday, including a number of carts and a cassette drive, but there was no official power supply with it. Instead I found a 9 volt DC supply mixed in the cables in the shop, but I am not entirly certain if it is for this computer. It is likely, but I don't feel like taking any risks. The Atari FAQ says that it took a 9v AC supply in the US, but the plug on this one looks like a DC plug, and the comments on the European version seemed to suggest that it used a DC supply. Does anyone know what would be appropriate to use in Australia? Thanks heaps, Adam.

At risk of repeating someone elses post (I receive the digest form of the list): Recently seen on the net: > An HP 2100A minicomputer will become available soon, in Ann Arbor, MI. > This is a machine I once worked on, but I can't take it (no space) so > if anyone wants an old workhorse of a machine with some significant > position in history, please take it. > The thing is a typical late 1960's or early 1970's rack mounted > minicomputer; I'm sure it can be safely de-racked. It can probably > be shipped UPS, but it would be at the upper end of the UPS size and > weight range, so it may have to go motor freight. > There may be a DEC RX01 and an RK05 drive attached to it (I'm not > sure which of the HP machines at Michigan had what peripherals, but > the disk drives they used were from DEC). These can be deracked and > shipped separately, but they're commodity parts, in a relative sense, > while the HP2100 is not a commonplace machine. > Doug Jones > jones(a)cs.uiowa.edu I would love this machine but shipping to Europe is out of the question :-( Don't let this one die a horrible death.
