Does anyone know if the Intel cash offer for a copy of the Byte magazine
discussing Moore's Law is still good? In talking with friends here I
found out that I know many of the editors and journalists who worked for
the early computer magazines, including Byte. I'm told I can find about
any edition I desire from this crowd if I ask. I'm not going to try and
rip off friends, but they were interested when I mentioned it.
I also found out I know the staff of Wayne Green's magazine empire
(mostly Ham Radio stuff).

The money was claimed weeks ago.

Nope, you're too late. Despite several copies of the issue being
stolen from libraries, they bought it from an English collector who
stores vast numbers of old magazines under his floorboards.
Apparently, after years of giving him grief, his wife has somewhat
relented when one of them make him rather more than ?5,000. :?)

I wish it had worked for my father, who threw out a complete, from the
beginning, collection of Datamation magazine back in aprox. 1985.

Wow, if you're that well-connected and can gain access to Byte issues,
what I need are the Steve Ciarcia articles where he discusses the Z-180
bases BCC180. I aquired one recently and can order the docs
(supposedly) from Micromint, but thus far have been too cheap to do so.

Well, Micromint wants $25 for the manual for the BCC180 and their
website claims it is still available. I would be happy to scan it
if/when I purchase a copy, but they'd have to be asked. I would think
if they'd allow it to be scanned and made available, that I would have
found it already in my scouring of the net for a copy. I'll certainly
follow through and ask them for permission and submit it if I do buy the
manual.

Um, Scott, Micromint (the copyright holder) currently sells copies of the
documents for $25. That should probably tell you what their answer is
going to be if you ask for permission to scan it and distribute it for
free. This should also inform you as to the propriety of scanning it and
"making it available".

New subject: ACT Sirius 1/Victor 9000 boot disks
Evening folks,
Now that I've rescued my Sirius 1 from the land of the escaping magic
smoke I'm on the lookout for bootdisks to at least test the rest of the
hardware. Has anyone got copies I can pay for?
In other news, someone has contacted me wanting to send a Victor 9000 over
to the UK but I reckon the postage will be too much. Any interest that
side of the pond?
Ta :)
