Same here... I've got a few with the EIS/FIS chip in them, maybe
that qualifies them for 'L@@K, R@RE' :-)

Some people might recognize the name ETCO - an old time surplus house
that, like so many, died in the 1980/90s.
Anyway, I found a few of their old catalogs, mostly from around 1982. I
used to get these things, and had a good time paging thru these relics,
looking up some of the crap I used to buy. Wow, if I could only go back
and order more of those tubes...
I am done with them...anyone want one for a retro-surplus
half-hour good time? Available for postage - $2.00 ought to do it.

It's in Hurst, TX. I've got enough to boot it up, no docs. I might have
one or two disks.

Hi Crew.
Where is it located? What else do you have with it (i.e. documentation,
software, etc.)?

I do not normally fix old micros, but I thought I would give this a try.
It is an original 128K Mac, with lots of extra goodies. On power-up, I
get a sick beep, a dead Mac icon, various pixels on the screen flicker
after the screen test, and the code "048298". Not quite dead, but pretty
close.
What does this code mean?
Also, can someone repost that trick for making a tool to get the case
open?
Thanks!

Hi Jeffrey:
Some misc thoughts on classiccmp:
When I joined the list, I chose cctech, to reduce the off-topic stuff a
bit. However, When I posted a question to cctech, I missed most of the
answers, since the folks were replying to cctalk. That was no good, so I
joined cctalk instead, and get the extra stuff anyway.
The idea of two lists seems ok, but to me the cctech seems kinda worthless.
Perhaps it is fine for lurkers, but who wants to miss a reply when they
post?
Then the daily volume of emails got high, so I elected digest mode. The
digest is nice and compact, but not easy to use. It would be great if the
message list had clickable links to the messages below, but then it would
need to be html or pdf, I suppose. And nobody really wants html mail (me
included).
Or, is it possible to make the subject lines of the digest messages bold
(in the messages, not the initial digest list)? Perhaps the message number
too? This way it would be easier to find the message when scrolling way
down in the digest. It's just not simple to read the digest. But I
suppose that can't work in plain text mode either.
It is also not simple to reply to a digest message (cut other stuff out,
change the subject...).
How about a diffent kind of digest: is it possible for the email digest to
have links to the web versions of the messages? Then the digest could
reduce to just a daily list of links (and it is still plain-text email,
with http... links). Read the email summary, click on a link, reply from a
button in the browser window... IIRC, there is currently no way to reply
while viewing a message in the browser. If we could do that, plus a daily
digest of links, it would be quite easy to use.
FWIW,
gil

Please remember that there might also be people like myself...
"lurkers" who do not subscribe to the list, but instead use the
www.classiccmp.org website archives of the mailing list to actually
read the stuff going on.
In response to your question, I personally like the two list system.
In your re-design of the website, please be aware that possibly
*some* people may be using alternative browsers (ie: *NOT* MS-Internet
Explorer) to access the site, so keeping the browser-specific features
to a minimum would be really nice.
(I personally use lynx (text browser) quite a bit from my VT320 terminal!)

As I have sent the evil Gates creation, Internet (Blue Screen of Death)
Explorer to the trash bin and purchased a copy of Opera, I must heartily
agree with this suggestion

Are y'all ready for *this*??
Somebody bought that fairly bare-bones 11/03 with no HD, a DSD dual RX02
clone, and some kind of I/O board (maybe ADC/DAC??) and a ratty old VT100
w/no keyboard for...
$449.44
whew. Ain't Capitalism grand?
Wonder what a pristine 11/23 would go for... down payment on a bobtail
with a liftgate, maybe???

I picked up the same unit in early '99 for $100 or so, from Timeline.
Wanted to use it as the always-on DNS/NIS/X10 host for the house. It's
really a nice little single-board PC in a small box with 2.5" IDE HDD,
floppy, ISA slot and maybe one other. Haven't used it in a while -
looks like the "CMOS battery" is dead/flat and it won't listen to the
PS/2 keyboard as a result. Weird...
I do have the paper docs, but the question is where... Also, it's one
small perfect-bound booklet, not terribly amenable to scanning. Is
there something specific you need info on?
