As I' ve previously said, I found FULCRON from AREXONS (if you can find it
there) to be the best in dissolving yellowish from computer plastics
(unbeatable against nicotine)
All you have to take care is to spray the pure product in a uniform way
(=the whole surface omogeneously) and brush it gently, alllowing the whole
surface to be in contact with the product.Then rinse: FANTASTIC!
Careful!
Avoid to spray and let drops come down + rinse without brushing!: where the
product
drop down, it leaves the surface CLEAN, but the rest still dirty. If you
rinse and try to apply the product again (even brushing it accurately) the
"clean-shadows-on dirt" will remain!

This looks like a good place for drive and controller info...

So that you can put them in any direction, without worrying about turning to
fit it in.

Kaypro 4 question....
I just picked up one of these bad boys from a thrift for $2.95 (my first
Kaypro) but I'm not
sure that it's feeling so good. I don't have a boot disk for it, and when I
power it on (it does power, that's a good sign) it says ," Please place
your diskette into drive A." The floppy never spins down, and putting a
CP/M booter in from another machine doesn't seem to generate any kind of
activity whatsoever. Is this normal behaviour, and I just need a boot disk?
BTW, does anyone know where I can get a boot disk for it?
Thanks,
Aaron
I'm trying to get NetBSD ona uVAX 2000. I was using
the wrong numbers in the disklabel. Now that I've figured that out,
the computer has antoher trick for me - I power it on, the RD53 spins up,
reaches top speed, and spins down before the CPU checkout finishes.
Did I kill a timing track or soemthing?

Hello all,
Southwest Research Institute appears to be divesting itself of a

Hi!
I just picked up an MZ-721, which is rather neat. Oddly, it loads Basic
>from tape, which seems fairly unusual for a cassette-based system.
Anyway, when I switched it on I got nothing but garbage on the screen,
and ning I do seems to change it at all. Shoud I consider this a dead
computer, take photos and treasure the manuals? Or is this the sort of
think which *may* be repaired, so I shoudl track down someone who fixes
these things and get them to look at it. Indeed, is it even worth the
effort?
I tried to find information on it, but almost everything seems to be in
Japanese. :)
Thanks heaps,
Adam.
I need the CMOS setup program for the Powermate SX/20; does anyone have
it?
