IBM /lexmark 4033-001 token ring print servers (2)

by rhblake＠bigfoot.com

I have 2 excess 4033-001 print servers with manual and power supply to find a new home for. Will trade for more common PC stuff that I can use or ethernet items. Will also consider offers for cash. Not too heavy, about 3 lbs each so shippingmost anywhere shoudln't be a biggie. No cable though, you need to supply either a DB9 to RJ45 media filter or the normal DB9 to IBM data connector whip to use them, dependant on your needs.

Mac/gs<==> PC

by paulrsm＠ameritech.net

Start with a Macintosh modem cable that has the round connector on one end and a DB25 connector on the other. There is also a Macintosh program called MacLink which has a Mac to PC cable that you may be able to use. My cable is the nifty cable that comes with CrossWorks. The PC end has both DB25 and DB9 connectors, while the Apple II end has DB25 (Super Serial Card), small round (IIgs, IIc+), and large round (IIc, Laser 128) connectors. I have used this cable between a PC and a Mac LC II as well. Paul R. Santa-Maria Ann Arbor, Michigan USA paulrsm(a)ameritech.net ---------- > From: Richard A.

info needed

by allisonp＠world.std.com

> I have info on the 10-105 dual beam Heathkit scope, some of the transistor >info might be relevant. I have that one. Not similar enough. What I'm chasing is a huge asymetry in the amp and so far no bad transistors. Back when I had the cousin to this one and had a similar problem. I also need to see the layout so I can find why one half the amp is not reacting to it's mirror. Allison

info needed

by allisonp＠world.std.com

I'm looking for schematic on a heath 10D-203-31, 5mhz trigged sweep scope. I'm chasing a vertical amp problem and schematics would help identify the heath house numbered transistors. Allison

Hello, all: I'm looking to transfer some files from my PC to my //gs. I could do it wit h a null-modem cable (for which I need the 8-pin DIN to DE9 pinout). I could also do it with a Superdrive connected to the //gs. Anyone have any experien ce with an external Superdrive? What do I need on the gs side? I have a ROM0 3 gs with System 6.0.8.

Yep, I was lucky enough to be able to use the disk drives (I thnk there were total of three units) in our school iun 1981/2, back then the drives (Commodore 4040s), cost about $1200 ea. Most everyone else were at the mercy of sometimes flakey tape decks. > >....There was one computer store in town that would sell you a > >single disk for $5 The school did that for a while after the Apples came in. Ever see the movie Sixteen Candles, the nerds in the movie make a bet for a box of disks and quote a $50 price, that was for 5.25" disks... Now things are going back up for 5.25" (DS/DD) disks as the sources are starting to dry up, I load up on boxes of them when the dollarish stores get shipments of them. Hint, you can spot a 5.25" diskette because it usually has a hub ring, this was partly so apple Disk ][ drives can grip it, there was at time hub ring kits for that purpose as well as the keep the old drives from bending the diskette's hole. HD disks generally do not. -- 01000011 01001111 01001101 01001101 01001111 01000100 01001111 01010010 01000101 Larry Anderson - Sysop of Silicon Realms BBS (209) 754-1363 300-2400 bps Commodore 8-bit page at: http://www.jps.net/foxnhare/commodore.html SiliCon 6 Gaming/Gathering-04/01/2000 - http://www.jps.net/foxnhare/silicon.html 01000011 01001111 01001101 01010000 01010101 01010100 01000101 01010010 01010011

CPU upgrades, pt. II

by allisonp＠world.std.com

Nope, SCSI to the rescue. I use MCS 700 future domain in my 70 bought used from C.R. when I was in US visiting my friend. Actually a cheaper way... Parallel port adaptor. It's how I run Win3.1 on that one without loading the disk that on it (currently only dos on it). Should work in your 50z but needs 386 level to work according to DB Young and shove in more ram while you are at it. True. The problem with that machine is common to most 286s, there's enough perfomance to make use of it but, not enough ram, disk and it's not 386. So in the end I can easily run dos/lanman/IP with windows 3.1 but, only dos apps will fit in the available ram. I have an INboard386 PC in a leading edge. Same problem more or less. I do have a 386/16 with that and 1meg of ram but 4-5mb is needed to run windows apps of any value. I plan to try minix in that beast as it would leave enough uesful ram for a IP stack. Allison
