The monitor normally runs 1600x1200 @85Hz, so that's not the problem. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Enthusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

I already made sure the cables were good. The KVM works on the other three systems added, which are all driving the monitor at 1600x1200 @75Hz or higher. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Enthusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

The trick with a KVM is to keep all the stuff happily in the dark about being shared, ie everything thinks its always hooked up. The way that works is the KVM is a smart fast dedicated computer and some dedicated hardware. Video signals can just be passed straight through with some simple analog type stuff. Keyboard and mouse have to be fully emulated by the switch, same for the monitor type sensing stuff. Older KVM switches were pretty nasty kludges, with the first ones simple mechanical switches that had lots of glitches.

Well according to the letter the local Staples store manager showed me on this 2 hours ago, they have to give a donation receipt for each item they receive, and everything that is received is to palleted and sent to this "gifts in kind" group, regardless of what it looks like. They have been notified that all items received must go to the one organization. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Mike Ford => Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 6:18 PM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS => => => This might be a good time to call around to all the local Staples stores, => or stop by and leave a business card with the manager offering to "haul => away" some of the obsolete stuff they will get. => => STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING => FEB. 17 & 18 => Staples, which operates more than 1,400 "superstores" for office => supplies, => will accept computer equipment for reuse and recycling at its stores => nationwide this Sunday, February 17 and Monday, February 18 (Presidents' => Day).

Man there no store within 100 miles of Houston. Sounds great for those close to stores. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Ford" &lt;mikeford(a)socal.rr.com&gt; To: &lt;classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org&gt; Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 6:17 PM Subject: STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS stores, "haul & 18 supplies, (Presidents' equipment, service. be across the release.

I went to their web site and searched for all stores in and around Houston within 100 miles and got zero hits? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tothwolf" &lt;tothwolf(a)concentric.net&gt; To: &lt;classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org&gt; Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 10:22 PM Subject: Re: STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS those

I got two C110s for $35/each. One has 384MB and the other has 256MB. I bought them locally from a couple. They have two J210's available but want $400/each for them, so I went with the C110s. If the J210's had been $50 or so each I'd have bought both to make an MP J210. I'm going to move memory so I have 512MB in one. I'd like to find an EISA 100M LAN card that will work with HP/UX 11i. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Enthusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/
