I'm down to the last few P112 boards for sale and am pondering another run
of them because demand is steady. One of the biggest challenges for the
last run was getting the QFP-packaged 100-pin chips[1] in a state such
that the pick-and-place robot wouldn't throw a fit about slight

What this is is a non-inverting receiver on the pad, that is driving
back to the pad with about a 50K Ohm resistor.

That would be the original Halted location, Evelyn and Wolfe

I'm looking for two items:
A VR241 to use with my DEC 380 as a colour head (even better if you have the
cable and a spare LK201, since I'm down to my last working keyboard). The
VR201 isn't cutting it anymore and I don't think I can use my VR260 with this.

Friends,
I have an instrument that has an intel motherboard with 400 MHz FSB PCI (not
PCI-e). It has a 100 mbps Ethernet card and it would be very useful to get
faster networking. The chassis of this instrument is such that I cannot fit a
traditional PCI 1GB Ethernet card (I've tried). So I wil

Can anyone who's been inside an Intellivision confirm that there's supposed
to be a little foam disc beneath the reset switch plate?
I picked a system with a box of cartridges up earlier, half expecting the

I thought the Vintage Computer festival west link might have recommended hotels

I did a similar trip but needed to be quite a few hours south for my actual

did find near long Beac

I can verify that it is indeed possible. I lay down xc95144xl-tq100s

Yes, definitely. 100 lead PQFP is perfectly doable if the lead pitch is not
insanely small. It takes a good fine tip soldering iron (mine is a Weller with
a PTS tip), fine solder (p
