One is a P-75, it doesn't say "Solo" it says "P3C" on
the bottom label. Judging by eBay items, this is the
laptop's designation. Search eBay for P3C and there
are plenty of hits.
The other is a P-90 and it *does* say just "Solo" so
I think that makes it a 2000 in terms of the model
numbers that followed in that line. The case is quite
identical to the other.
Any help would be appreciated! They're circa 1994-5,
so they're only half on topic... as opposed to Bill Gate's
personality traits, which are older than 10 years and
therefore on topic.

Hello everyone,
Anyone know where I would find the DEC part number for a VS3100/M76 color
option board? I've got a board labeled "VS40X 8 Plane COlor Option" but I
don't know if it would work in a M76 or not.

Picked up several items for 50 cents each! I got:
mac IIci and a colour display for it.
PS/2 model 70 with NIC and...
a TRS80 data terminal DT-1. Looks just like a model 2/3 except its very light
and has no floppy drives. had two cables coming out of it, presumably for a
printer and modem of some sort. while i was bringing all this stuff up to pay
for it, a guy had mentioned to me that if i had been in an adjacent county a
few days ago, i could have gotten a lot of other computers. He said many
apples (dont know what models) where simply thrown in the dumpster because
they didnt know what to do with them. I guess the hard part is how to let non
computer types know of computer rescuing people ready to avert this kind of
tragedy.

Any CDROM drive that can be switched to 512 byte sectors will work on
the VAXstation. Sun computers also want 512 byte sectors, so a drive

VAX compatible CD drives
Below is a list of SCSI CD drives known or believed to work with VAX
systems. The basic requirement is support for 512-byte block size.
Some information (entries marked with a "*") was extracted from the
<A HREF="http://saturn.tlug.org/suncdfaq/">Sun CD-ROM FAQ</A> - most older
Sun workstations share the 512 byte block size requirement. The FAQ
also has additional details about some of the drives listed below,
as well as instructions on how to modify certain models of Toshiba CD-ROM
drives to change their block size.
DEC RRD40, slow, first generation CD-ROM
DEC RRD42, 1X
DEC RRD43
DEC RRD45
DEC RRD46
(*) Plextor 4x/6x/8x/10x/12x
(*) Plextor 12x/20x
PlexWriter RW 4/2/20
Most, if not all Plextor drives. See http://www.plextor.com and
check if the drive has a jumper of DIP-switch for block size.

Hmmm, I tried to send the real Part 1 twice and it didn't come through;
maybe too
much outdated information. Anyway, it didn't have much that was useful at
this point. Maybe at least the table of contents will make it through this
time.

Is anyone familiar with the Victor V386MX? It's a miniscule 386 tower, only as
wide as a 3,5" drive, and seems rather common around here.
What's interesting about its architecture is that the CPU and graphics are
placed on one sandwiched ISA board, which plugs into an ISA backplane carrying
some extra electronics such as FDC.
This week, though, I found another Victor CPU board, but carrying a 486SX
instead, and with an additional PS/2 mouse port. It doesn't seem to have the
IDE header, though.
What kind of computer could this have been used in?

DNS problems that were, for the past two days, interfering with normal
mail flow in and out of bluefeathertech.com have been corrected. A great
big CLASSICCMP "Thank you!" goes to Jay West, our list maintainer, for
helping me to troubleshoot the problem. ;-)
Although she's not a listmember, Juli Kislenger at Qwest Internet also
deserves a big batch of kudos. I consider it a miracle that I got her
instead of some newbie handling my case.
The end result: Blue Feather is now entirely self-hosted, including local
DNS boxes. The only things I'm dependent on USQwest for now are my actual
connectivity and my Usenet feed. Everything else is most definitely local
(about 30 feet away in my garage, to be exact).
Lots of stress, lots of work, but well worth it in the end knowing that I
can now configure the domain -exactly- the way I want it to be configured.

I'm not sure this is 10 years old yet, but anyway... the info is so
scarce you'd think it was. :-) Anybody have the pinout of this DB-15
serial port?

Well, there is no RS-232C port with the basic interface. This requires
a card to be installed in the bay on top of the interface. If you have
this card installed, the signals appear at the "Expansion Board Card
Edge" which is in the middle of the front of the interface.
The card edge is 40 pin. The following are the main signals an pins:
18-TD; 20-SGND; 22-RD; 30-CD; 32-CTS; 34-DTR; 36-RTS; 38-RI; 40-DSR.
