OT - WTB Cables or connectors
by Martin A Flynn 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

I'm making up AUI cables to test a bucket full of Cabletron Amp ST-500-2 thicknet taps. Before I re-invent the wheel, anyone have 25 foot AIU cables they are willing to part with? If I strike out, this is what I am ordering from Anixter or Mouser: * TE Connectivity 5745583-5 / slide latch kit * TE Connectivity 749805-8 / plug * TE Connectivity 749806-8 / socket Martin

Tables and chairs all setup. Dan Roganti, John and Amy Chapman helped me set it up. The rest will wait until morning. Tony's helping me bring the grill. Should be there by 9:30-9:45. If anyone has any difficulties, then contact me on my cell: 732-759-1783. See you all there! Happy Festivus! :) -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Last minute Festivus Info
by Jeffrey Brace 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

There is a train show going on, which is a pay to enter event, so please be aware to close the gate behind you. It is better to park in the main parking lot, unless you are unloading stuff. There is a hot water dispenser connected to the coffee machine for those tea drinkers out there. Does anyone have any glow in the dark tape or lights? I just noticed how hard it is to see the door entrance area in the dark. -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Van is packed and ready for the rest of us.

Finally finished herding everything together. I think. I have a van packed full of televisions, game consoles, and alcohol. I have like 95% of a Festivus back there. If there's something I forgot, well, try to drink to forget the fact that I forgot it. I'm aiming to be there by 10 tomorrow. See you all soon! -Ian

MIDI Sequencing programs for Windows 3.0/3.1
by Matt Patoray 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

Hello, I am looking for a Midi Sequencing program that will run under Windows 3.0 or 3.1, looking to use my Roland LAPC-I a bit more, and it's patches do not map to general MIDI so I would need something to rearrange the tracks. I seem to remember a program called Cakewalk that I had a demo of years ago. I was wondering if someone might have something for download or sale. Thanks in advance, -- Matt Patoray Owner, MSP Productions KD8AMG

Festivus 2016 Dec 3 & 4 - Equipment, Drinks, Food, Entertainment

Jeffrey Brace; > Also I'm not sure who the coffee drinkers out there are. We have the > filtered kind (Dunkin Donuts) and K-Cups. I will have milk, sugar, cream > etc. available. Hot water for tea? Coffee is too caffeinated for me. Otherwise I'll use the microwave but it's noizy. Thanks for linked photos of the cafeteria. Makes it clear now, there's a sink, a small microwave, a conventional commercial coffeepot for ground coffee, many refrigerators. Possibly a sliced bread toaster on that shelf at the end of the refrigerators; a hot water pot on the right shelves. For those who stay overnight, it is a blessing and a convenience to make a simple breakfast on-site. I'm very thankful to InfoAge (and the state of NJ) for this facility. Herb -- Herbert R.
