I'm considering buying a copy and I'd like to talk to anyone that's used
it to scan documents. I have questions about what features are in the
different versions and what scanner interfaces are supported in the
different versions.

Today I got two boxs of old Intel computer manuals that a friend of mine
dug up in Vermont. In one of the manuals are some brochures for
Ryan-McFarland BASIC. I've never heard of RM BASIC for any system before.
Anybody know anything about it?

Yo Zane: I just got some rather bizarre e-mail from you personally,
which I don't think you sent - but *something* posing as you did..
Best look to your System, and the Security thereof...
Email me off list for a description...
It was amusing, in a surreal sort of way. ;}
Cheers

I've got a DEC RW500 optical disk libray that I'm confused about.... The
machine powers up, passes self tests, loads and unloads media, but I
can't get the scsi controller in my peecee to recognize any media in it.
I've tried the original drive that came in the box, as well as an HP
versioned drive, as well as DEC labelled media, HP labelled media, and
some other brands.
It seems like the drive starts to spin the media, but it stops after a
few seconds....
Is there a trick to this, or do I have a couple of dead drives?
Hi,
I came across the following advert:
http://www.irjohnston.com/HP_spectrophotometer.html
for a HP 8451A Spectrophotometer which includes the rare 98155A keyboard.
This machine is based on the HP-85A / 85B (or both!) and the ad has some
nice photos of the complete set up, including the keyboard which HP-9915A
owners seem to be desperate to get their hands on. This looks like an
expensive way of buying a keyboard though....
BTW the photos are dated October 2003 so this may have sold by now.
Perhaps suppliers of 8451As might have a spare keyboard from a dead unit
knocking around, I would not like to ask all the 100's of suppliers of
surplus lab equipment though!
Regards,
John

Yep, it's a naked card at the moment.

Tell me about it - "normal operation is not possible"? Well, no, because
you've gone and halt'ed the CPU because you're so self-important. I don't
*need* the SCSI bus operational to bring up the CPU and boot varios OSes.
Silly firmware. Slapped wrist.
Thanks guys :)

That sounds like the voice of experience.
Is there a particular reason someone can't roll their own power supply?
Did Apple do something funky with it that isn't easily determined? (Gee,
'cause that would be SOOO unlike Apple to do, wouldn't it!).
Being an Apple fan, I'm just curious for details.
