To all you clever people out there who post E-Bay references with
no accompanying text on just what it is you're sniggering about:
Not everyone on this List reads It in the context of a web-browser.
And speaking strictly for myself, while I am curious to know what it
is generating the excitement, I am *not* curious enough to shut down
the shell account, redial the PPP number and launch Netscape, go to
E-Bay, turn down a jarfull of goddam cookies, see what ludicrous
price some nitwit has paid for XXX that we all have a dozen of, then
reverse the whole process and get back to the list again. Copying
the said (or any) URL for me, means pencil and paper... not bloody
likely as far as E-Bay is concerned.
I do not like nor will I participate in E-bay, but that is my own
opinion on the matter and I respect and honor differing views. Good
old-fashioned Netiquette is the topic of this rant, however.
Thanks
John

John -
While I agree that a line of accompanying text would time and keep those
of us using other mail clients from feeling lie we're being left out of an
inside joke, you should be able to reach eBay from your shell account.
Believe it or not, Lynx works very nicely on eBay - I've used it a lot.
Lynx supports most Unices and VMS. You can get more information at
http://lynx.browser.org.

A quite valid point.. I used Lynx long before Netscape was a
company, and Mosaic was kind of unstable.. but I *still* maintain
that a short description tagline would be nice, so *I* can decide
whether or not to pursue the link, especially if it has a .jpg
associated with it.... and I thought there was another List allied
with this one for e-bay stuff and links... no??
Cheers and Happy 4th to all you 'Murrkans out there...

New subject: Old IC's
May be kind of OT for this list, but I have an old machine that
has a couple of what I believe are DTL IC's that I need
to identify function and pinout for. I'm hoping that perhaps some
of the folks on the list might have old Databooks or such that they've
gathered for servicing old computers.
They are:
DT uL93559 Date Code=6918 Manufacturer: Fairchild (only logo is a
stylized 'F')
SN15836N Date Code=7020 Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
Anyone out there that might have some late '60's/early '70's
Fairchild and/or TI Databooks, could you see if these might be
in there?
Thanks in advance!

A 935 is a DTL hex inverter with the same pinout as a 7404. I am not sure
if it is the same as your part, as I don't understand Fairchild's labelling
conventions (the last 59 in this case).

New subject: Old chips?
Poking in the depths of a salvage place I found a plastic box full of
2164's and it started me to wondering, did I want to buy them, should I buy
any old chips such as 2716 eproms?
Now its a given that anything I can pry away from the scrap path for little
money I do. Deal sweeteners like, haggle haggle haggle, OK, but how about
tossing in that box of chips too. I am talking the serious money situation
where the guy wants $3 or $4 bucks for the box, not some token amount.
