That should be "B". That's what I get for using cut'n'paste too quickly

Ethan,
I'm pretty sure I have a copy of the H-27 manual(s). Do you still need
them? What exactly are you looking for?

Another question from me :)
The Compukit UK101 has several ceramic capacitors, all marked 104Z 25V,
which judging by what I've found on the web so far makes them .1uF. My local
Maplins (sorry, that seems to be a swear word in some parts) only has 224Z
at 25V (I'd guess .2uF?) and 104Z at 50V, half the size.
What can I get away with? Or am I right in assuming I need to match exactly?
Ta for any help....

Having read all the threads relating to board washing I've got a question.
What are the panel's thoughts on video boards? I'm thinking of flyback
transformers and the like......got a PET 8032SK here that I'm picking up on
fixing again after a couple of months layoff - it's taken up smoking......
Anyway; it's been turned off since early november time, and since the board
has a thick layer of greasy grime all over it I want to give it a wash since
I can't see where the smoke's coming from apart from 'close to the front at
the right'.....
Any help appreciated

Since I didn't see the author answer, I think is is the windows imaging
program. Also called wang imaging and kodak imaging in various versions.
Start->programs->accessories->imaging
Use menu page->convert->compresssion and select CCITT Group 2(2d) Fax.
I think this choice moves around some in the menu structure for the various
options. You can also make that the default for scans under another menu.
Didn't work properly with my sheet feeder though. Can do simple cleanup
on the scans.
Very fast for displaying and paging through the tiff files and doesn't
have the display artifacts that Adobe PDF viewer sometimes has. (Select
menu option view->scale to grey for best display quality).

But keep in mind that it is obsolete. RFC 854 and 855 are the
current standards for the basic Telnet protocol.

This is one of those things that is poorly understood and apt to be
implemented incorrectly and/or differently by different people.
Telnet tries to provide a "network virtual terminal" abstraction, and
one of the bits of that abstraction is encoding a "newline" across the
Telnet connection. This was important way back when a terminal or
host might send CR, LF, CR LF, or some other character sequence to
indicate newline; and there was some thought being given to how to
make it so you could use any terminal+host as a network virtual
terminal to another host.
The Telnet RFC provides two encodings: CR NUL and CR LF. When I
worked on WIN/TCP for MPE/V I tried to make the Telnet server use CR
NUL to mean "return the carriage to the left margin" and CR LF to mean
"return the carriage to the left margin and advance to the next line"
(there were MPE FWRITE carriage-controls that needed to be mapped to
these). What I can't remember right now is whether that worked or
whether I later changed the server to send CR NUL LF in some cases to
appease clients that turned CR LF back into "return the carriage to
the left margin".
If a Telnet negotiates binary mode (sends IAC WILL BINARY and receives
IAC DO BINARY) then it is saying that it will send raw 8-bit data and
not do this NVT stuff.
And of course some Telnet clients just do whatever, so just send CR
when the user presses RETURN or ENTER. This is Wrong, but "be liberal
in what you accept", so what you need to do for the NVT (non-binary)
case is to run received data through a state machine: when you receive
CR you enter a state for the next character where a NUL or LF is
discarded but other characters are treated as received data.

Most of y'all have probably seen this thread, but considering the
rarity & price of medium/high capacity storage controllers, I thought
this worth posting.
There's a thread ongoing on alt.sys.pdp11 about a working QBus IDE
adapter. The designer has a working prototype, 2.11BSD drivers, and a
NetBSD driver in progress. He's asking for input as to interest in
developing & producing these, and has docs, schematics, and I think
drivers up at:

In theory, correct... but knowing in advance just exactly
*how* and *why* it's lossy, using it for black and white
text works just fine.

It is wonderful, although it's not by Mark Twain, but by M.J. Shields in a
letter to The Economist. It was in response to George Bernard Shaw's
suggestions to reform the English alphabet by adding 14 letters to
eliminate spelling anomalies. Another wonder in the same vein is to be
found at http://www.d.kth.se/~d92-abj/humor/spelling_reform.html. It
concludes:
