Anyone looking for Tek terminal stuff? This specimen looks pretty
clean, and might be something of interest to the Tek Terminal collectors
here.

Hi.
I also have one of those LCD's, but with the elo Touch reference
(ELT121C-7SWA-1)
By means have you figure out the Pin-Out for the power Brick ??
Best regards and thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
A few days back I posted ImageDisk 1.17 to the site, and it's just
been reported (and confirmed) that it had a bug which causes it to
write images incorrectly (fortunately it appears to read them
correctly).
I've corrected the problem and updated the package - if you have
downloaded 1.17 before today, please download it again.
I've also restored Imagedisk 1.16 to the site, listing it as the
last known stable release, so that people won't be left hanging if
(when) something like this happens again.
<rant>
I apologize for the inconvienence - I've been sitting on 1.17 for a
few months - there were substantial changes made to the read/write disk
functions accomodate the ability to record the data from bad sectors,
and I knew there was a strong possibility of problems. I made these
changes at the request of a member of this list who just "had to have
them" right away.
Took me a fair bit time to make the changes, which also involved research,
pestering Chuck, Allison and others and lots of trial and error to figure out
what I could and could not do with the 765FDC and bad sectors. This also
required additions to the image file format, and therefore update to all of
the utilities which manipulate them - During this time I had several
correspondances with the individual who had requested the changes, and he
promised me that if I made them, he would test it thoroughly, make extensive
use of it (iirc several hundred disks to process) and give me a full report
of any problems etc. that were encountered before I released the software
for mass consumption.
So I delivered the new software to him (early may), and he immediately fell
silent. Contacted him a week later, and was told that he hadn't had time to
look at it, but would let me know when he got around to it.... Now several
months have gone by and not a peep from him.
So... I posted it anyway (my bad), and of course there was a problem. I've
corrected it, but due to the number of changes required for this update, it
could still benefit from some outside testing (any volenteers?)
It's annoying to invest time to do someone a favor (that they asked for) only
to find out that they consider their own time too valuable to follow up their
part - I'm sure Chuck will tell me that this is one of the reasons he finally
told people to shove Teledisk beyond the reach of solar illumination...
</rant>
If anyone can help check out 1.17, that would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Dave

Hi
I was wondering if you could help. I don't really want to throw this stuff
away, but I need to get rid of it. My next step is to dispose of it on our
"free dump day". I don't want any money, just my room back. If you know of
anyone that would be willing to help me find a home for these I would
greatly appreciate it. I am in the Frankfort, KY area and am willing to
travel up to 2 hours. I only have 1 truck, but I can make several trips. I
have a room full of computers, monitors, dot matrix printers, keyboards,
mice, etc. It is more than a pickup load. I have no clue about what they
are or if they are worth anything to anybody. If it's junk, please let me
know that also.
Here is a partial list. I haven't made it to the other end of the room or
the attic yet. I haven't tested any of these.
IBM Personal Computer XT - I have about 18 of these - some are 5150 and some
are 5160.
Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 4 - I have 4 of these
1 each of the following:
Cathode Ray Oscillograph
IBM PS-1
IBM PS/2
Heathkit H9
Dell 333 s/L
AT&T 6386 SX/EL20 W6S
Aptiva 510
Zenith Data System Z-Server EX 433DE
Gateway P5-120
Macintosh Centris 660 AV
Zenith Data Systems Z-433D+
AXCEL by Packard Bell
Radio Shack TRS-80 Model III
A couple of No Names
I have about 30 more that I will need time to get info from.
Printers:
IBM ProPrinter
Panasonic Quiet KX-P2135 24 Pin Color
IBM Quietwriter III 5202
Panasonic KX-P1624 24 Pin MultiMode - I have 2 of these
Epson LQ-1000
IBM 2381-001
IBM Quickwriter
I have more printers, but haven't gotten to them yet. Maybe 10 or so.
I do have a strange looking monitor. It says CIT-101e.
I also have a lot of monitors, keyboards, and mice. There should be some
complete systems in there somewhere, but I don't know what goes together. I
do know that some of the monitors are monochrome. It just piled up faster
than I could keep up with it.
I am just putting in numbers and info that is on the machines. I don't know
what is inside.
Thanks,
Karen
I had an excellent time this year as usual, even though we initially had
some unforseen problems getting rolling toward Purdue. Lots to see, and I
had a fun time socializing(and on occasion brainstorming) with those I don't
see nearly often enough. The speakers were great and very entertaining, and
Rick did a great job coordinating dinner for Saturday night. As an
exhibitor, I have to say that the turnout was way better than I thought,
especially on Sunday.
Thanks to everyone involved for making this not only a success but an
entertaining endevour as well.
Looking forward to 4.0!

Dear all,
You may be familiar with the phenomenon of a project list years long,
and with the way it often gets ordered: "project #345 sounds interesting
today."
Well, this weekend, I finally managed to combine motivation, interest
and parts, and assemble a working 5.25" + catweasel floppy imaging
setup. This moved up the priority list because the machine I usually
use to image floppies can't do SD, and these old Osborne 1 floppies have
been on my desk staring at me since someone on IRC asked about Oz-ware
weeks ago...
I'm want to have backups of my piles of floppies, as well as to be at
least a somewhat responsible preserver (in the unlikely event I actually
managed to hang onto something not already widely saved), and to be able
to share bits and pieces as seems appropriate. I'd like to be able to
both re-create floppies as well as use the data in emulation. I
understand the latter is going to require format conversions in a lot of
cases, and that the necessary converters may or may not exist yet. I've
used both ImageDisk and cw2dmk in the past.
What I'm wondering is this: what about the DMK or IMD formats is going
to cause me problems later? I prefer data images to flux images because
the latter are clearly not directly usable in any emulator. I
understand how a flux image enables more accurate re-creation of a real
floppy, but the scope and implications of that are a bit fuzzy. I'd
like to have some feel for how many things I'm going to be unable to
reproduce later, how they'll go wrong, why images won't be useful to
others, etc.
Obviously no single solution is suitable for all applications, my
mileage will vary, &c. Both of the above-mentioned are excellent pieces
of work with many valid applications. I suppose I'm basically looking
for war stories which illustrate particular technical issues here -- the
criteria for making the choices, not the mythical "best answers".
I've spent some time googling through the cctalk archives without
finding the kinds of discussion I was hoping for, but I'll cheerfully
accept hints about how to approach the problem that way.

Does anyone have any advice on finding a replacement fan for a
BA353-AE enclosure? I finally managed to crack open the case, and it
looks to be a Nidec a33475-57 fan.
