Is the Vector3 also an S100 machine? If so: WOW I have an S100 machine and
didn't know about it! There is a small picture of it at the Sanctuary site
in the Miscelaneous part of the museum.

Vector Graphic made a range of machines starting with
the Vector I. I am
not
familiar with all of them, but I believe they were all
S-100 machines. The
machines I have are the Vector 1, 3, 4, and MZ. I am not familiar at all
with the Vector Graphic B; I would pick it up just out of curiousity. All
of
the machines I have run CP/M. Are you talking about the
UCSD P-System? If
so, I didn't think that was an operating system, but rather something more
like an interpreter.

Don't you guys open your boxes to see what's inside them when you first
get them?

I guess I'm not a real hacker yet, since I don't even know what a 99MP kit
is. But I do carry the other items.
I hope HP introduces an improved LogicDart II soon. I've sent Eric Vogel
a wish list. My number one request: transitional timing.

Found in the Linux fortune file:
Now, you might ask, "How do I get one of those complete home
tool sets for under $4?" An excellent question.
Go to one of those really cheap discount stores where they sell
plastic furniture in colors visible from the planet Neptune and where
they have a food section specializing in cardboard cartons full of
Raisinets and malted milk balls manufactured during the Nixon
administration. In either the hardware or housewares department,
you'll find an item imported from an obscure Oriental country and
described as "Nine Tools in One", consisting of a little handle with
interchangeable ends representing inscrutable Oriental notions of tools
that Americans might use around the home. Buy it.
This is the kind of tool set professionals use. Not only is it
inexpensive, but it also has a great safety feature not found in the
so-called quality tools sets: The handle will actually break right off
if you accidentally hit yourself or anything else, or expose it to
direct sunlight.

It's that red tool roll from Xcellite that DEC field servoids also carry.
It contains Phillips, flatblade, Allen hex, nutdrivers and Bristol spline
drivers. I added Pozidriv blades to mine (essential if working on
European machines). Real hackers carry a Leatherman if 'there
just might be something
interesting' and a 99MP kit + LogicDart if they know there are machines
up for grabs :-).
I guess I'm not a real hacker yet, since I don't even know what a 99MP kit
is. But I do carry the other items. You can dismantle just about any computer case/chassis
with it.

Don't tell me my LogicDart is already out of date. I've only had it just
over 1 year ;-)

Hi
I find Xcellite screw driver blades to be too soft
for continuous use. The rest of their products
are OK. Other than the fact that they save time
in collectioning a useful tools kit, I'd say
that I could do better by selectively buying specific
tools.
