Help NEEDED for network wiring 10/29 & 10/30 @ InfoAge
by Jeffrey Brace 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

Hey everyone, CDL will be needing help with wiring up various buildings with fibre. This helps not just our organization, but InfoAge as a whole. He is replacing the coaxial that is unreliable and goes to our museum and other buildings. Plan is to start on Saturday (10/29) AM at 9:00 AM and run until 4:00 PM (may go later) If we don't wrap up on Saturday, will start work on Sunday (10/30) AM at 10:00 and run until 4:00 PM (may go later) Two additional people would be a great help, there will be work in the attics of 9010 and potentially 9036. Martin is leading this effort, but if you are interested, then contact me and I will put you in touch with Martin. Thanks so much! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Hello! Happens here. We've got a bag game going that's not as peculiar as the one in NJ. I've got a reusable that bought from the one in Queens. I also make use of a satchel that followed me home from an AWS event. Incidentally the older iPad that came back with me works nicely. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

It's grey and has BNC, RJ45 and LocalTalk. It has been sitting in the CDL for a while. Does this belong to anyone?

Possibly OT: I'm looking to acquire a LaserJet 4V
by Joseph Giliberti 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Hi Guys. The aforementioned printer is probably old enough to qualify as whatever vintage means these days. I'm looking for a workhorse LaserJet 4V or another vintage LaserJet capable of handling 11x17 paper. I want to be able to print tube radio and EM pinball machine schematics without taping together 20 pieces of 8.5x11. continuous feed would be even better, but those are expensive and big. Please let me know if you have such a printer you can spare. Thank you. Joe Giliberti

Not sure how many folks are into the Motorola line of processors from the 70's & 80's but Peter Stark was popular with his software Star-KDos and other things for the boards. Fufu is the Flex OS Users Group (not Adobe Flex). -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: fufu - Peter Stark Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2022 10:48:53 -0700 From: David C.
