While looking up a chip, I found a USENET posting with a typical .signature UUCP bang path from "well known backbone site" ARPA has "at-hack" to forward to CSNET via the relay/gateway UUCP: ...!cbosgd!osu-cis!bgsuvax!kemp CSNET: kemp(a)andy.bgsu.edu ARPA : kemp%andy.bgsu.edu(a)relay.cs.net

FS: MITS 88-2 SIO Tested/Working
by Systems Glitch 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272363812201 Here's the MITS serial interface everyone wants, and this one is fully tested and working! I had to replace a 1488 and 1489. I installed wire wrap pins in the baud rate selection area so that a) pads won't get lifted when you need to change baud rates and b) you can jumper both ports to the same baud rate. Includes two nice ceramic Motorola 6850 ACIAs, original to the board. Currently jumpered for standard MITS port addressing (0x10 or 020 octal), RS-232 serial, and 9600 bps on both ports. Includes the original cable for Port 0. I've got the cable that came with it for Port 1, but it's in poor condition and not currently working. I can include it for free, if you want it. Thanks, Jonathan

by Jeffrey Brace 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Volunteers are need for InfoAge's Base of Terror Friday and Saturday nights in October from 7pm to 11pm. It goes a long way to show that VCF members are volunteering for InfoAge wide events. The more we volunteer, the more cooperative InfoAge is with us when we want or needs something. The jobs needed: Crowd control: letting 10 people go at a time. Front End: Parking lot, booth, tickets, etc. e-mail Gloria if interested: admsupport(a)infoage.org ============================ Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Dave... What are you doing Dave...
by Joseph Oprysko 02 Sep '16

Well, I was cleaning out my email, going through some of my auto-sort's etc, and in May and June of this year I got 2 "Digest" emails from the phantom MARCH group. Those MARCHer's are trying to come back I think..;) -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
