PS/2 55SX motherboards

by rhblake＠bbtel.com

Have a bunch of PS/2 model 55SX motherboards in the "Reply" boxes in great condition for sale or trade. Will sell separately for $25 each or will work a better price for multiples. I'll also trade for equal value of cdroms, sound cards, parity SIMMs in 30 or 72 pin for other machines I'm working on. Of course shipping is extra but these are light. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Blakeman RB Custom Services / Rt. 1 Box 62E / Harned, KY USA 40144 Phone: (502) 756-1749 / Data/Fax:(502) 756-6991 Email: rhblake(a)bbtel.com or rhblake(a)bigfoot.com Website: http://members.tripod.com/~RHBLAKE/ * Parts/Service/Upgrades and more for MOST Computers* --------------------------------------------------------------------

Pretty good week

by maxeskin＠hotmail.com

I run Minix on my 386 (or at least have it installed). In my case, version 2.0 which seems to be the latest. I don't think it's a good idea to run it in 128K, though. I use the 386 version, however, so I wouldn't know. What about Xenix? Also, what is prime time? You aren't planning to start your own ISP with this, are you? > >Here, take my 10 year old copy of Minix. BTW, is anybody up to speed on >the current state of Minix? I have an itch to run *ix on a 128K 8086 box, >and it doesn't look like ELKS is ready for prime time. > >-- Doug > > ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Classic computers on Jeopardy?

by dastar＠wco.com

What was Friday nights Jeopardy question in the catgeory "1980's" having to do with Radio Shack? I forgot what the question was but it was something about Radio Shack and the answer was "computer". Sorry, had to know as I missed this by walking away to check on dinner.

Does anyone have any more info on this card such as is for a pc > or apple, any special software needs ? Thanks and keep on computing --> Artic Technologies makes (at least I think they are still around, they were a year or so ago) devices that talk. I've seen them in operation because one of my co-workers is blind and needs that sort of thing to use her computer. That said, I think one of the devices she has is an ISA card with the SYNPHONIX legend on it. It has an ISA back plate with a headphone jack and (I think) a volume control knob poking through. There is also a speaker on the card that can make itself heard over the fan and through the case. It's been a while since I've seen this one (she used it briefly in 1995-1996, I think she keeps it as a spare) and I've no idea whether they also made any Apple-flavored devices. Until recently she used a serially-attached talking box, also from Artic. Now she is using software that can use the sound card in her PC (it previously used the Artic box but she prefers to not carry extra bits around). Regarding software, from what I've seen of the Artic software, it is copy-protected and uses the Artic talker as a serialized dongle. The new software (from another company) has a key disk that lets you install the authorization on the hard disk, sort of like the old Lotus 1-2-3 v2.0 copy protection. Hope this helps, -Frank McConnell

Walnut Creek CP/M CDROM Discontinued

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<Tim, I am unable to find the Ampro Little Board BIOS source. There <are some utilities, patches, and such in source form and a text <reference to a file 38BIOS.LBR (in the JSAGE area), but I cannot <locate the file itself. Can you cite directory pointers, please. Don, It's in the .lbr file like many items in the collection they are either arc/ark/lzh/lbr/zip or whatevered into compacted libraries. Because it's compacted it makes finding an individual file real tough. If you can't find them (they are there) let me know I have them on line. Allison
