Need hard-sectored floppies? This guy's got at least 50 of
them, used with the Northstar Horizon.

I don't own one, I can't use them, and I don't know this
guy from Adam. But I don't come across them very often,
so maybe someone on the list who does need them would
appreciate the link.
Enjoy,
--Steve.

Signetics was acquired in 1975 by Philips. The current Signetics is a
Korean assembly and test company which traces its lineage from the
original Signetics. If there is actually a Signetics logo on the chip
and the date code is from the late '90s, the number is probably a
"house" number...
You might look at <http://www.icmaster.com/> and check the logo on the
chip. There are a number of "S"s that are similar to the original
Signetics log.

Hey all you HP mini nuts, look what showed up on ePay
a couple hours ago:
HP 1000F complete with S/W Manuals & spares
eBay item # 2777501482
"This is a complete HP 1000F mini computer with 2648A
graphics terminal, two 120MB disk drives and several
disk packs, including RTE IVB grandfather disc.
[...]
Pick up must be arranged by buyer at storeage facility
in Houston Texas, packaging not available."
Best of all, Buy It Now is only $250!
I have no affiliation with the auction. I just wish it
were a tasty DEC mini similarly configured, and up in
the Northeast somewhere...
Good luck and happy new year!
--Steve.
