I need to have some vintage cards picked up from a guy in the netherlands
and mailed to me. He doesn't have a paypal account, and of course wants to
be paid for shipping costs before he ships them. He doesn't know me from
adam, and vice versa.
So I was wondering if any list member would be willing to pick up the cards
>from him (he's not charging anything for the cards), and ship them to me.
I'll paypal you the funds to cover shipping. The guy is located around:
9824 PE Noordwijk
The Netherlands
If no one can help, I'll probably see about an international money order.
There are probably about six cards, and in total probably not more than a
few pounds.
Thanks in advance...
Jay
Folks,
Does anyone here have good troubleshooting tips and/or spare parts for
these heavyweight beasties? We seem to be having a bad run with a handful
of them at the moment and we're running out of ideas apart from what we
already have in the half of a service manual we've got :o)
TIA!

Hi,
It appears that one of my CD's is missing :-(
I have the 4.20 media, 4.20MU04 boot floppy and
several patches to the 4.20MU04 upgrade -- but
can't find the MU04 upgrade itself! (grrr....)
Admittedly a LONG shot, but can anyone here
lend a hand?
Thanks,
--don
Pete's correct! I was indeed thinking of the 3-1015, and that
is of course not the same as 1315 :-) The 2650 is the 8-bit
microprocessor from Philips. Sorry, can't be of more help ...
- Henk.

A 2650 is a microprocessor. I don't recognise the 1315. Henk's
recollection of the AY-xxxx UART may be a little off, I think -- I
believe he's thinking of an AY-3-1015 or AY-5-1013, both of which are
UARTs very like the standard Intersil 6402 UART (in fact the 6402 is
almost identical, but with slightly different electrical
characteristics). The AY- series were made by General Instrument
Corporation and included things like keyboard encoders, UARTs, sound
generators, etc.

Dunno about that either, sorry.

I still fully intend to inventory the contents where readable. The ones that apperear to be in Korean look very interesting. Many have a part number in english that maps to a panasonic portable terminal similar to the Radio Shack PT210. Might be ROM source, might be just a co-incidence. Any one on the list know Korean that could at least verify the language?

I vaguely remember the AY-1315 (not sure!!), but that 40-pin IC
was a 8-bit data parallel to serial data bi-directional converter.
A sort of a UART. To send serial data, you put the 8-bit data
parallel in its 8 input pins, strobed an other pin and then the
data with start- and stopbit came out of another pin :-)
But, as said, memory is vague, but it might help ...

I understand that you have a Facit 4070 for sale or adoption.
Could you please advise further?

I have at least 1500 8" disks of various manufacture, density, and sides. Some are manufacturer's originals, some are well marked copies, others are marked in hand written Korean. Hundreds are marked in "user shorthand", and are probably quite un-interesting.
Among the manufacturers I see are DEC, Altos, Microsoft, Digital Research, Pickles and Trout, Xerox and Tandy. There are also at least 30 CPMUG disks. I know at least one is a Scott Addams adventure disk for CP/M.
I'd like to start inventorying them, dumping their content (using ImageDisk and the catweasel both), and trying to determine the "source" of the unknown disks. I know the usual warnings about these old disks: clean the drives, make sure they're not pinched in the sleeve, make sure there is no dust on the surface, etc. What other precautions should I take.
Any and all _contructive_ advice welcome.
Kelly
