Exhibition 20th Anniversary IBM PC in Frankfurt/M (D)

by Hans.Franke＠mch20.sbs.de

This Sunday an Exhibition themed 20th Anniversary of the IBM PC will open in Frankfurt/M, Germany. The show will last until early January, so plenty time to book your tikets. I don't have detailed information about the pices exhibited, but it seams to be a prety mixed up melnage of PCs and other mid 80s machnines. Check http://www.fitg.de/fitg_deutsch/aktiv/pc20j/pc_werbe_00.html (German only) The exhibition is produced by the Förderkreises Industrie- und Technikgeschichte e.V., a non profit organisation dedicated to preserve industrial age and technological artefacts. Also least one of the co-producers (Matthias Schmitt) is also prety active around other classic computing themes. Gruss H. -- VCF Europa 3.0 am 27./28. April 2002 in Muenchen http://www.vcfe.org/

Mac Restore CDs/Manuals

I assume they exist somewhere, but the closest thing I've ever seen to a tech reference or service manual for any macintosh was the Chilton's book on macintosh repair. (Yes, the same people who do automobile repair books...) It have that book, and it's relatively decent. Only covers old goldfish-bowl style macs, though. :) The copy I have, though, is the only copy of the book I've ever seen.

I believe that they used to make some CDs available (presumably for a fee). It might be easier to get hold of those (assuming the old scanned manuals and datasheets are on there!). Antonio

Radio Shack abandons components

by jpl15＠panix.com

I have seen several posts on other fora bemoaning the fact that our beloved Radio Shack is rapidly phasing out it's sales of carded components, resistors, caps, diodes, etc. I imagine this to be the case... and another blow to Enginerds and parts-level hobbyists not lucky enough to be near a Fry's or other still-functioning small-quantity parts outlet. Experimenters: Time to stock up! Cheers John

Mac Restore CDs/Manuals

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

Hello all.... I recently picked up an LC 630 DOS Compatible Macintosh. Nice machine, with SCSI CD, the DOS card, A/V card, and TV tuner card, but no disks or manuals. I know it's off-topic but someone here already mentioned a restore CD, and I believe it was for the LC 630. If so, could you contact me off-list mailto:r_beaudry@hotmail.com ) so I could get a copy? I'll gladly pay for postage and media costs.. Same for hardcopy manuals. I have some .PDFs, but they're so clumsy ... If anyone has spare copies of manuals for this machine, especially any tech references or service manuals, I'll gladly pay postage, and some extra, for them.... Thanks! Rich B.
