MDD G4 MAC Power supply MOSFET needed
by Sentrytv 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hello to all you Mac people out there. I’m currently working on a power supply (Samsung P58) for a mirrored G4 Mac that has a bad mosfet W20NM50. Apparently this is no longer manufactured but is available from many Chinese and Korean outfits on eBay. Obviously I don’t want to wait that long to get one or take the chance that they are restamped. So, anyone out there in nj or near by, going to the January Workshop that may have a couple of these? Please feel free to contact me directly if you can help. Thanks Mike Rosen Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.

1968 Longley-Rice model in Fortran IV
by Herbert Johnson 31 Dec '22

>> the RF propagation model by Anita Longley and Phil Rice, still widely >> used after a half century. Going from one old report to another, I >> found the original 1968 CDC-3600 Fortran IV source code as an appendix ...and there's some C++ code and Python code in the mix. This looks like fun stuff to an old engineer like me; and some of my amateur radio friends too. Radio propagation is still an art among some hams these days. FORTRAN, well, that was my first programming language. I've sent you a private email, and I'll see if I can poke at this code myself. Thanks for posting notice of this work; your Web page shows good historic technical preservation at work. That's how it's done. Regards Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.

That's a very thoughtful act, Bill. We're all going to miss Cheryl. And I, in particular, am going to miss the Black and Bleu burger and a good on-tap IPA to wash it down with.
