Thanks!

Sorry to have to resort to this, but, due to the myriad of automatic
e-mail advertising ("SPAMming") programs out there, I've been forced
to modify my "reply to" address. To reply to this message, you must
remove the .spamfree from the reply-to address. To those friends, and
folks
who are trying to contact me with info that I will likely be happy to
receive, I apologze for this inconvienence. To those out there, sending
all these annoying "junk mail" messages, I say "Oh well...."

Just out of curiosity, does this one have the computer keyboard and stuff?
I found one the other day with the keyboard (and I am trying to get it),
but I have no idea how common they were.

Ooooh, I've been looking for an Intellivision. I'm happy to pay shipping,
etc. to get it out to Iowa, which is where I am.
Let me know,

Hello,
Not sure this is the proper place for this, and I apologize if it
isn't, but I have
a Mattel Intellivision setup (left for us by a long ago former tenant of
a property
we used to own) with a bunch of cartridges. I have no clue as to whether
the
thing works, as it's been in a box in my basement for a good five years
(and, who
knows how long in the basement of the previous owner), but, if someone
wants
to "give it a home", please let me know. Located in Sudbury, Mass. USA.

I would love this machine but shipping to Europe is out of the question
:-(
Don't let this one die a horrible death.

Hello, all:
I got my hands on a PC-based EPROM programmer S/DRAM tester IC tester. There
is an ISA add-in card and an external box with ZIF sockets. The only thing
that I am missing (doh!) is the software diskette.
The board is manufactured by Yih-Lung (Hong Kong), model# YL-23. It has two
microcontrollers, both are Motorola 6821.
I know that this is a loooong shot, but can anyone point me in any direction
to find a replacement disk. Thanks!

VAX 11/780 free to good home:
Have VAX 11/780 with 3 FUJITSU hard drives, 9 track tape transport,
2 consoles, all documentation, software, cards, racks, etc.
Have moved, and do not have room any longer. System is in Shorewood,
WI (near University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee). Must sacrifice soon.
Please respond directly, not to newsgroup, as I don't have time to
address each.

Tim:
>>According to the "Edited Option/Module List" that I have, there are >>no
fewer than 21 variations of the M7551, ranging from 1 to 4 >>MBytes of
memory. Generally, the -A suffix indicates 1 Mbytes, >>the -B indicates 2
Mbytes, and the -C indicates 4 Mbytes. The >>next letter in the suffix
indicates the source of the DRAM chips.
At least I'm not crazy (in spite of what people may say!) about the RAM size.
My M7551 carries the "CF" suffix. Is there a way that I could get a copy of
your module list?? The one that I have from the VAX forum on CompuServe seems
to leave out key information. It would be helpful to me for when I go shopping
at Temple U. in October.
Here's the revised configuration (I actually coppied the numbers down this
time).
Slot TOP BOTTOM function
8 open open
7 M7512 open buss extender
6 M8639-YA {same} RQDX1 disk controller
5 M9047 M7504 continuity / Ethernet
4 M3104 {same} serial EIA mux-8
3 M7551-CF {same} memory
2 M7135 {same} processor 1
1 M7136 {same} processor 2
Slot 1 is the first slot on the right facing the bulkhead. The buss extender
is used to connect to an external RD52 hard drive.
Thanks again.
