I have some rather rough set of MINC boards - A/D, D/A, digital, and
clock. These were outside for some time in California. Not super
rusty, but weather worn. I think you could clean them up.
Trade for? I could use some R, S, and B modules. Other interesting stuff?

Anyone have a spare 2x20 (40 pin) DIP header they can stick in an envelope?
I'm checking eBay and all I see are 10-packs and/or silly shipping.
I believe this is the standard board-mount IDE connector? Either gold or
bright tin plating are fine.

Hi,
I have got a 9845B which has a defective power supply unit - obviously a very
common problem.
After replacing the cracking epoxy capacitors I found that the mains

Maybe someone tried to run it at 220V using the 110V input selector switch.

In the late 80's early 90's all PCs, obviously, were nothing like the plug
