Seems like list messages are delayed many hours. Still trying to figure out the problem. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783

rubber rejuvination

I'm no chemist but I've read that glycerin rejuvenates rubber. "AT-205 re-seal" is in auto parts stores. Audio deck chemical kits had rubber roller conditioner. What's best? -- Jeff Jonas

For those of you not on LisaList I've uploaded the ZIP to OneDrive: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApXzHz2ZC305hscHvjo3mOu8loaSxw?e=uOFV9G The one downside is that while the disks seem to read error-free, it needs an activation key which I don't have. I have to wonder if the info on OS/2 Museum is of any use here? http://www.os2museum.com/wp/tales-from-the-xenix-crypt/ On 10/14/20, Al Kossow via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote: > On 10/14/20 8:09 AM, Al Kossow via cctalk wrote: >> On 10/13/20 6:53 PM, Sean Ellis via cctalk wrote: >>> Just wanted to let you all know that I've found a copy of Informix >>> 3.11 for SCO XENIX on the Lisa 2... anyone interested? >>> >> >> please get these to ray arachelian >> https://lisalist2.com/index.php/board,1.0.html >> > https://lisalist2.com/index.php/topic,118.15.html > >

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Cleaning Franklin cases
by Herb Johnson 14 Oct '20

Regarding cleaning chemicals, "Simple Green" is pretty useful stuff. It contains ether, which is a good but not overly aggressive solvent that dissipates rapidly. It is more aggressive than alcohol but of course it's also a kind of detergent which must be washed away. It's commonly available in spray bottles or nonspray. I'd wear rubber gloves and work outside for any cleaning with chemicals, if I were you. This stuff is not good for you. Regards, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
