Okay. I have some stuff to get rid of; if anyone is interested, I can bring it to the East Side meeting on Thursday, either to get rid of or as a door prize. (:still remembers seeing the 'winner' some months back making off with his 19" monitor weighing approx 400kg :) ) SuperMac CM2186A3UY colour monitor. This was posted about on the ASULUG list, and nobody expressed interest. When I first tested it, it wouldn't power up (you on ASULUG will recall my panicked post on this after first offering the unit), but now it does-- for some reason, leaving it plugged into the mains for 10 minutes seemed to bring it back. This is a 21" monitor, fixed-frequency with 3 BNC connectors. It weighs approx. 300kg. I can't make it work with my x86 without investing more money in adaptors than I want to, but it might work with some bizarre old box you have. HP 712/60 pizza box. 128Mb RAM (this is 72-pin SIMMs!), 1Gb SCSI hard disc. System was equipped with some sort of HP-UX secure extension, and now I can't get back in. :) Useful if you have the media to reinstall, or for parts. Plextor UltraPlex SCSI CD-ROM. Model PX-32TSi Came with a case I bought, no SCSI equipment to test with. When powered up with just a power cable, the 'On/Busy' light comes on and the eject switch functions normally. Also, I'm feeling awfully underwhelmed with Slack 9.0. Can anyone with a fast CD burner and a recent Linux-Mandrake distro run me off a set of the redistributable version? I can give you some of my blanks to replace the ones you use. Thanks.
