Hi:
I have through page 74 of the book from Turley. The last time I
checked, that's all that he scanned. He no longer has links to the file
archive.
If you have a link to his "Driveway.com" account, I'd appreciate it.

The Red Book was an "internal" document, (at the time) available only to
Apple engineers and a few select dealers. IIRC, it was written by Woz
as a reference for Apple's engineering dept. Someone (Dr. Tom of
comp.sys.apple2 fame (or infamy, depending on your POV)) recently
scanned the entire thing and posted it on his website. If you're
interested, I'll see if I can dig up the URL and post it here.

Hi,
I just picked up a Grid 386 laptop (model 1530) and it has a strange
problem. It powers up but dies after a few minutes. It just starts acting
flaky and locks up. If you turn it off and back on, the screen stays blank
and it beeps but that's all. I have to let it sit for 1/2 hour or so before
it works again. It passes all diagnostics before it crashes. I've opened it
up and reseated all the removeable ICs. I also checked for overheating but
nothing is even getting warm. Does anyone have a copy of the errors that go
with the beep code? It has 2 Mb of RAM (8 SIPPs) in it. Which ones are in
bank 0 and which ones are in bank 1?
This laptop came out of Martin Marietta and has some really cool
software on it. It was used to test the gimbal system used for the IR night
vision and laser targetting system on the Apache helicopter. The laptop was
connected to the gimbal and would read out all the steering commands and
the actual positions from the synchro resolvers. This device was a lot more
usefull than you would first imagine since cables and connectors that were
routed through the gimbal were very prone to intermitant failures and this
could be used to pinpoint at exactly what angles the problem occurred.

I'm getting ready to head out to South Carolina and am wondering if anyone
knows of any good places to check out in South Carolina for DEC, Sun, or
SGI related gear? For DEC stuff I'm interested in all ages, for Sun S-Bus
or newer, and for SGI stuff pretty new. Of course since I'm flying out
there I won't have room for anything big (of course unfortuantly what I'm
really looking for Sun wise is a nice monitor, which I wouldn't want to
have to ship).

It'll come in handy when you get that turrent mounted on your truck :-)

It breaks my heart -- there is no way I, as a poor med student, can
buy this Commodore 900 UNIX server, but if someone out there wants to
and would be willing to let me look at one in the flesh ... :-)
For information on what one is, see

Can anyone tell me where pin one of the DALLAS real time clock module
should point when installed on a 4000/60 main board ? This is the leading
culprit in my dead 4000/60 but I'm not sure I recall how to place it back,
and while it seems like the socket indicates one way, its not clear that is
the correct way. Thanks,

Someday, IBM PC's will be worth big bucks. Just not tomorrow, or even
next week. This one comes with a lot of collateral material that will put
it above others of its ilk in future years.

I have an old IBM purchased in 1983. I have the original sales receipt
(it cost $4000.00) , also all the IBM instruction guides that came with
it, a VisiCorp personal Software guide, Friendly Ware PC Introductory Set,
assorted used diskettes, and a diskette and instruction book for Master
Type program by Lightning Software. I also have a printer purchased at
the same time, and a monochrome monitor.
