..and you find yourself with even less space :(
It's a good time of year to resolve to save yourself from this all
consuming hobby and dump all your gear on the Vintage Computer
Marketplace!
I swear I will before I ever have to endure one more move :)
Happy New Year!
PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TO ALL GOOD PEOPLE!

Just happened to be browsing on the Everex Step Cube,
486-EISA, and saw msg from R Stricklin looking for EISA
config utility. I have them if you still need them.
Have to xfer them from 5-1/4 to 3.5, but I could put them
up for download if you don't have them yet.
Also, I have an everex cube myself here, that I'm looking
to part with -- Free, but its probalby too big and heavy
to ship, but anyone in the CT area that wants it... hey,
its a really cool looking machine.
Also have an AMI EISA motherboard, AT-factor of course,
and a bunch of adaptec 2742 eisa scsi controllers (and
maybe some ethernet cards) if anyone is interested.

Still gives a dummy page saying "This site is not yet configured, please try
again later." It worked before. Would you pleeeese put that site back online?
Does anyone have a mirror of what that site used to be? There used to be sooo
much useful documentation there!

restore has a t keyletter just like tar does.

Hi all,
I have the above printer - it seems to have 'issues' as the "paper out"
LED is always halfway lit and it will never come on-line. I've tried it
with parallel and serial, no luck with either, it just doesn't want to
know.
It has tractor feed (80 columns). Strangely, the self-test does work OK,
and the print seems to be fine quality.
If this is of any use to anyone, you can have it for the cost of
shipping (or come and collect). Item is located in West Yorkshire, UK.
After two weeks, it goes in the bin - I haven't the space to keep it any
longer.
Regards,
Ed.
Hi,
I am restoring for principle use, ( packet) a compaq slt/286 and was
wondering if you know of the position or where the Mother Board battery
is.
I can run dos and all but the memory gave up out cause the memory
battery is shot.
Where is it in regards to on the board and is it a replaceable item
thanks

I picked this up today but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone wants it
for the costs of shipping drop me a line BEFORE Saturday. It's a lunchbox
type portable computer with a keyboard that detachs from one side. It has a
red gas plasma screen, a 286-10 CPU and appears to have 1Mb of RAM. It has
a hard drive (size unknown) and a 5 1/4" FD. There is a slot for a 3 1/2"
FD. There are 8 16 bit ISA slots in it but some of them are inaccessable.
There are five accessable slots but three of them are used. The screen
appears to work but no text appears on it when I power it on. There's no
drive activity so I think it has a POST problem. I put in a POST card and
it sequencies through a lot of POST tests then starts showing 010, 000,
010, 000, etc. But it does appear to go through most of the POSTs I'm
guessing that it's mostly functional. I don't know what BIOS it uses so I
don't know what the codes mean. It may just need the CMOS batteries
replaced or the DIP switches on the display card may have been monkeyed
with and may not be set right. It's also missing two keys (F1 and - on the
keypad). There's no name on it but a couple of the cards were made by
Orchid so that might be the manufacturer. It's located in Orlando Fla
(32765). Anybody want it?

Okay - pseudo-newbie question - I know this has been answered multiple
times - but damned if I can remember it and double-damned of I can find an
answer...
Where does one obtain the various .dsk, .tap, etc., files for E11?
FTP from somewheres? Toggle them in bit-by-bit using the "F" keys as
console switches?
And while I understand the 'hobby use' version does not speak "SCSI
Tape" - does this also hold true for SCSI 9trk emulating a TU77, or
similar?
Thanks all, and best of the Season!

But some true classic computer users _LIKE_ noise! To me the more noise a
computer makes, the better!
