Went scrounging yesterday and found a small plastic box of what looks
like HP disk drive test/alignment accessories. Parts include 07905-60049,
07905-60039, 5061-1386, 07920-60030 and 07920-62421. Anybody need this
stuff? The box is filled with that old self-disintegrating foam so the
stuff will need to be cleaned up but it looks like it's in very good
condition (the box is in rough shape).

New subject: MDS series II again
Hi Joe, I made it back to Washington state okay and I have been thinking
about the series II schematics you have. Any chance of sending them to me
(on me of course), so I can get them down to Kinkos to copy? I would like
to get them up on bitsavers to boot. Let me know. Also, if though I would
ask if you had given any more though to a series II or mds-80 that I could
buy from you. I would definitely be interested. One of the things I need to
do is build cables that run from a series II to the dual drive cabinets. I
don't have either one back in VA but I have two or three dual cabinets
(misc mfgs) that I want to use in the Intel system. Let me know.
Thanks!
best regards, Steve Thatcher

I'd be quite interested in these, as I'm sure some other people would be
too. Any chance we could get pictures?

New subject: An ancient greek computer
My archaeology hobby leads me to some strange places sometimes, and
sometimes I wonder if our culture is the first with "computing power".
Some of you might already know about this, but I still find the
subject very interesting...
Check out this webpage about the mechanism of Antikythera, an ancient
greek computer:

Wouldn't it be fun to re-create this thing?

I saw an ad on the History Channel that says that the program Ancient
Discoveries is on tonight at 8PM (Eastern Time) and it's supposed to be
about the Antikythera.

Hi Joe,
I didn't know that. What a coincidence... I will watch that tonight...
Thanks!

They wouldn't do any good. There's pieces of green foam stuck all over
the parts.
