Floppy Disks

>Uhm, that URL redirects me to http://www.microcenter.com/, which doesn't >have anything but 3.5" floppy disks. > >Any other suggestions? They used to carry them... but MEI recently officially changed their name to just MicroCenter, and changed their format from a bulk dealer of media and supplies to more that of the million other catalog/online dealers. Alas, their prices have started to go up as well, and some of their more hard to find items like DSDD 5.25s have vanished. <sigh> -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

adjusting a Digital VRT19-DA... a.k.a. Sony GDM-1960

by DAW＠yalepress3.unipress.yale.edu

Well, my 12 year old 19" monitor works pretty nice, except for having the Bright and Contrast cranked al the way up... Anyway, can anyone tell me how to adjust the Horizontal center and size? And how about the Vert. size too? When I am at the SRM chevron (>>>), the first two columns are gone, so I see only one of the '>'. Those adjustments must be inside the case somewhere. Hopefully I won't fry myself opening this thing up... Another quickie... I assume the Video-Out BNCs on the back of the monitor is Sync on Green also, just like the inputs... And should the switch be set to High Scan or Low Scan, when hooked to a DEC 3000/400? -- --- David A Woyciesjes --- C & IS Support Specialist --- Yale University Press --- mailto:david.woyciesjes@yale.edu --- (203) 432-0953 --- ICQ # - 905818 Mac OS X 10.1 - Darwin Kernel Version 5 Running since 01/22/2002 without a crash

Yes, the ASICs are the same on all the SIMMs: LSILOGIC L1A6569, DDM1, Rev.C, SGI 9700832. The date codes and manufacturer code/batch number may vary from SIMM to SIMM, of course. If you upgrade a 2MB SIMM (514256 chips) with 514100 chips, remove the 75-ohm resistor at R6 (may be marked 75R or 750) and fit a new 2K2 resistor at R5. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Installing Win9x (was: Re: APPLEVISION Monitor)

Richard, I don't know what version of Win98 you are using, and I'm not familiar with your hardware, but I do two or three installations of Win9x every day, and in 95% of the cases I have to provide device drivers for something in the system. It is rare that Win9x will provide all of the drivers for the sound, modem, video, and IDE controller. Perhaps you are using a "restore" disk which came with your eMachine, Compaq, HP or Gateway computer? Glen 0/0

TI3100 laptops?

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I have seen some discussion on the list recently regarding the Toshiba 3100 laptops... I was just curious - is there some reason that these are sought after? I believe I know where a pretty decent sized stack of them is (about 15 or so). Wonder if one would take an ISA HP-IB card to interface with some of my other bench gear...would they take a pcmcia card for my wireless network at home? Thanks for any input Jay West

Write Ring Fights (was Fwd: Re: Tae Rings?)

We never threw the packing rings, but since we did ship software to customers on magtape, we had *cartons* of write rings. Fridays, starting at about 16:45, from one corner of the cube space or another... zing... then it was like a cloud of cicadias - the air filled with yellow rings. I used to use a 3' cardboard tube as a launcher - I could get a ring 4 or 5 cubes away. The end to our write-ring wars came when, after a particularly fierce battle, I grabbed a 3 cu ft box *full* and climbed onto my desk, then slowly along the tops of the cube walls (not modular furniture, hard walls made of 2"x4"s and sheet rock, 6' tall) and dumped the entire box on an unsuspecting combatant. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

FREE: SGI IndigoR3K 2M SIMMs

The R4K version is a significantly higher rating, and an R3K PSU in R4K machine *will* die. The new PSU was one of the expensive parts of an R3K -> R4K upgrade. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
