OK.
Thanks to you guys, she was able to get the HP 150 II up and running but
now needs a copy of DOS 3.2 which supposedly works with this machine. If
anyone can help her out, again, please e-mail her!
THANKS!

Subject: MS-DOS 3.2
Thanks to help from your mail list, we've got the HP-150 II up &
running. By dint of reading the manuals & the FAQ a kind classic
computer buff directed us too, we've found we need MS-DOS 3.2 for the
HP-150 II to really work. Right now it's running MS-DOS 2.11, the OS for
the HP-150, but has a 20 MB hard drive.
Do you have a copy of MS-DOS 3.2? Or could your mail list could suggest
a source?
Yours gratefully,
Brigid & John Cumming

I picked up a complete HP-86B system this weekend. System box, monitor,
two dual floppy drives, printer, plotter, documentation, three shoeboxes full of
Basic, CP/M and UCSD p-System software and a slew of expansion carts,
including:
(4) 128K RAM Memory Expansion
(2) ROM Expansion w/ Assembler, Matrix, Printer, Plotter ROMS
System Monitor
Auxiliary Processor
HPIB Interface
CP/M System
Voice Synthesizer
Four-slot Extender Interface
I'd written software for the HP-85 years ago and picked one up a few months
back, so this is a veritable gold mine of Series 80 goodies.
Two wannas: Does anyone have a spare Sun monitor that would work
with a 3/80?
About 10 days ago, I picked up a Lisa 2 with a ProFile
drive, but no connector cable. Any leads on where I might
snag a cable?

Subject: Good weekend
Well Saturday made up for a slow week of finds. In that one day I was able
to pick up and save the following: Commodore 1902 monitor, 2-Mac 128's one
with KB & mouse, Platinum Mac Plus with KB & mouse, Apple IIgs with RGB
monitor & ext 3.5 & 51/4 drives,Epson FX80 printer, 4-Kraft joysticks new in
box, Applecolor Composite monitor, Mac numpad/trackball combo by
Assimilation, SB midi kit, and BluePrint C64 cartridge.
Also during the week picked up a Okidata OL400 laser for $5 and Radius
Powerview $8 both from Goodwill. From Savers got a new in box Softstrip
System Reader by Cauzin.
That was my week for the most part other manuals and software that I got. I
should have enough Mac's to fill the request I have from some of you by the
end of next week.
Keep computing!
Ok, here's some of what I arrested into the custody of my collection
yesterday.
A zero-emission Mac 512K. This is truly bizarre. Its a normal looking Mac
512K until you look closer and notice there is a second built-in floppy
on the right-hand side, oriented vertically. The brightness knob is
missing from the front and replaced with a little square that is the same
color and texture as the rest of the case. It was moved to the back.
The power cord is not detachable like on a normal Mac but is instead
permanently attached. The external disk drive connector is gone, and so
is the slot where you can insert a security cable; its covered over.
Opening this thing is half-past a bitch and a quarter till a pain in the
ass. I finally get it open by removing all the screws on the DB-9
connectors on the back and find a totally shielded interior. The disk
drives and motherboard are encased in aluminum. The monitor has a gold
foil pasted to its entire exterior. The video cable is shielded inside a
heavy duty stranded shielding, as well as the cable going to the second
disk drive. Even the DB-9 connectors have extra shielding around them.
It was made by a company called Systematics General in Sterling,
Virginia. Anyone know anything about these?
I also collected several DEC boards I am assuming go to a PDP-11.
Someone help me identify these:
DEC
M8045 - 32K 18 BIT MOS MEM (guess that one is pretty obvious)
(note: I have two of these. On the board they have M8045 but on the
front tab one says M8044 DF and the other M8044DB)
M7949
M7957 - ASYN MUX
M7551-CA - Definitely looks like a memory board
M7136 - LPWR GS-2 (?) This one has a busted chip but upon close
examination it looks like the IC is still intact with the spider-web
fine wires still attached to the wafer. Half the silicon is missing
but I can still see its an AMD chip. Looking at the front of the card
with the edge connectors down, its on the bottom row of chips, third
chip from the left. Looks like it starts with AMPALI5R?? Next row of
numbers is 84H90 maybe?
M8013 - RLV11 DISK CONTROL
Can't find the part number on this next one but its clearly labelled RDRX
DISK CONTROLLER.
M7135 - ??? This one has five 24 pin chips with lots of gold with a big
square chip next to them. A scrappers dream with all the gold on this
sucker.
USDC (this is what is stamped on the board). All I can see of this board
is 10-1108-02, with the 02 being scrawled into a solder pad. Has an AMD
8418 and what looks to be a Fairchild MBL8086-2 (CPU?) on it. I only say
Farichild because it has an F with a line above and below it. Also has a
couple 64K EPROMS. Finally, it has a 50 pin connector on the top (don't
know what its type is called but it looks like ::::::::::::::::::).
These boards were sitting in a scrap bin and some are pretty scuffed up.
I don't even know if they work. Some need some solder repair work.
All are pretty much in tact. The only major damage is that one broken PAL.

Can you loan me your time machine and show me how to set it to about 1976?
Notice the date of your message :). Nice finds!
Found this while poking around on Usenet. If someone would be kind
enough to forward the author any info on VAXen that may need rescue, I'm
sure he'd appreciate it.

Hi All,
Pardon my stupid question, I know nothing about Trash 80's.
OK, the question of the day is what is this? It looks like you are
supposed to plug a ribbon cable into the bottom, and connect it to a
computer. I've been looking for TRS-80 stuff to add to my collection, so
far I've only got a CoCo2, so when I saw this for $8 I grabbed it.
It's got one 5 1/4" drive in it, and a spot to stick another. On the back
is a plug for TV, and another for a monitor (they both look the same).
Which TRS-80 was this for?
Thanks,
Zane

Someplace around here, I've got a 386 motherboard and processor, that
replaced an
old DEC 33 mhz unit.. No clue (off the top of my head) who made it..
Anybody want
the thing?
