In case you don't find someone that is sitting
on a pile of H-8 display covers....
Why not get creative?
I can send you a scan of the display cover.
Go down to TAP Plastic and have them cut a piece
of plastic for you and polish the edges.
Using a color printer, there about a half dozen
ways to apply the lettering to the plastic,
>from using a overhead transparency to creating
your own decals. Mounting the display cover can
range from hot meld glue to custom made "ears".

I'm always on the lookout for an inexpensive SCSI card or hard drive for
the Apple II (any model II is fine, I know they were most common on the
IIgs).
I'm also on the lookout (again, inexpensive) for an AppleCat modem (just
so I can finally have one, then call a friend that eons ago promised me
he would share some software with me... but ONLY via modem, and he
insisted that since he had an AppleCat, I had to have one too... just
gotta get one and then bust his chops about it)

The keyboard used with an XT is different than that used with an AT and
above.

Wouldn't a keyboard adapter work? Use the keyboard you got and just
adapt it to the motherboard.
Theres a small slide switch on the LHS of the case (from memory)

I want to thank you for your answer concerning the Compaq Portable. It has
all the manuals and it is in mint condition. It has about 75 disks that were
in the box. It has the original books entitled Basic Version Reference
Guide.(3) It has the Silver Logo on the case so it is one of the first made.
They later upgraded them to a "plus" model which has the Gold Logo. I am
really impressed with the condition. It also works.
I ran across it at a consignment shop and it needed a home. I am not sure
what I am going to do with it.
Thanks again,

This is a longshot. But has anyone got Bill Bashams Diversi Dial for the
Apple IIe?
I've been searching for this for a few years, and have come up completely
empty. The people who have it want to keep it for nostalgia
(understandable). I would actually be connecting the Ddial to a terminal
server box (bsd or linux) and run the chat system live on a IIe.
I guess I'll have to find the serial cards too ;)
Thanks!
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the list, and yes, I found my way via the
SlashDot posting.
Question:
Do you include programmable calculators or PDAs under the
label of "classic computers?" What about game machines?
If this is in the FAQ, just tell me to RTFM. Thanks.

Hi,
today I'm lucky to add another card to my (little) coprocessor card collection ...
... a YARC Sprinter card, which includes an AMD 29000 processor.
As for most of my other cards, this one doesn't include any documentation or software :-(
I do not expect to get any information from Yarc Systems/Trevor Marshall, as i got no
aswers for my requests regardning my Yarc transputer card ...
Can someone on the list help me ?
Thanks Bernd

I was wondering if anyone has used an FPGA or similar programmable device as
a replacement for the unobtainable lower-case 2513 character generator in
the ADM-3A terminal. I am trying to avoid fabricating an adapter board to
use a 27xx EPROM since the pinouts are quite different.
Since the only unusual pin on the 2513 is the GND on 10 (and 12 is not used)
I would like to just be able to jumper the board pin 12 to ground and plug
in a 24 pin device with programmable I/O pins to match the 2513 address
lines and data outputs. Does anyone know which device would be the most
suitable?
thanks
Charles
