could you be so kind as to resend them? Thanks!
I sent the original message to the list rather than to you with the
expectation that the pin-outs would be archived and indexed for posterity.
However, I just checked Kevan's archive:
http://www.heydon.org/kevan/classiccmp/
and it stops at Feb 1998. Is anybody archiving this list?
Well, I wouldn't say I'm _archiving_ them, but I don't recall
deleting anything since at least September. But as my ISP only
gives me a 10Mb limit, I won't be attaching them to my web page
when I get around to sticking something there beyond my resume.
I can probably do keyword searches and locate what you need.
Hang on a second,

For them in the Bay area, I want to reiterate
that HMR USA is worth a
visit. And good news -- They're going to be open on Saturdays. They're
going to be open M-Th for businesses only, and Friday and Saturday for
individuals. They've got a new web site as well: <http://www.hmrusa.com/>

They don't seem to go out of their way to tell you their location. Where
are they?

Wow, that's 75 lbs of Toshibas! Let me know if you figure out how to get
to the CMOS battery. There's a weird little compartment with a pull-tab
that looks like a good candidate, but it doesn't want to open (easily) for
me.
Those marked with a * are ones I need info on the
power supply
requirements, especially the PenExec, which uses the same kind of connector
PenExec power pin-out (excuse the bad art):
6 7 8
3 4 5
1 2
1 - ground
2 - external power
3 - ground
4 - battery charge enable (active low)
5 - external power
6 - battery positive current sense voltage
7 - battery negative current sense voltage
8 - battery rapid charge status (active low)
The power supply is labeled 8 - 16V @ 2A.
