New subject: Kaypro PC program wanted
I had a call this morning from a chap in Minnesota who has a Kaypro PC.
One of his floppies is apparently damaged and he is unable to load a
program called Poly-Windows (or something close.) Says he is stuck with
DOS only. Aaahhh! Poor chap.
Anyway, departing from the sarcasm, if anyone has a copy of that program
- better yet the disk - I would appreciate your sending me a copy by
e-mail, or advising where I can pick it up.
Thanks!

New subject: Introduction/help
Hi,
I just started subscribing to this group. I wish I ha known about it
earlier. I need some help in finding information for a few computers on
my collection. Some of them I got without even any software and I have
no idea what they can run.
If you're interested in helping please check out
http://home.att.net/~francois.auradon
This is where I display my stuff.
Just a few words about me: I'm a software engineer in the Twin Cities
area and crazy about old computers (like most of you :). My coworkers
usually give me a hard time and don't understand people using software
that was not designed for Windows 95. I'm this is familliar to most of
you too.
Well let's keep it short for now.
Francois
PS: I will try my best to answer any questions.

New subject: Xerox 820
Hi All:
A friend of mine has acquired a Xerox 820. It's a CP/M machine from 1982.
Anyone have any info on this? Any collectible value? Any interest?

New subject: TRS-80 Model 100
With the recent talk about nicad batteries, I took a look at the one in my
model 100 ... fortunately. I found the nicad just starting to corrode and
most likely in another couple of months would have started to spill onto the
circuit board. Just mentioning it so any of you who have one or ANY
computer that has an internal nicad battery might take a look at it before
it does any damage to the computer.
While I was trying to find out why the one I had didn't work, it decided
that it was time to start working again. Wow, love those intermittent
problems. Now, everything seems to be working okay from the processor part,
but I have a display problem. The contrast adjustment has no effect, and
the display will sometimes change its contrast while I am looking at it or
if the main board is mechanically moved. Anyone have any idea what might be
causing this? Thanks.

I have the same problem on my NEC Prospeed LED display. I suspect a
grounding problem but haven't had the time to dig inside. I know that
a similiar problem on my 1040ST was fixed when I assured adequate
ground connection.
