I have some submerged packs that look like the one in the auction. Wet
since Saturday :-(
Here's a link to the drive that I'd like to restore some day:

If they really are that rare you may want to reconsider.

Did people actually wash disk packs with water or some electronics-friendly
solution?

I'm not positive what pack washing machines used. Distilled water seems
plausible, perhaps with some sort of mild cleaner. Keep in mind I'm talking
about packs, no electronics there.
Then again, many electronics are designed to be washed in water (as part of the
manufacturing process).

If you look on the ebay for a dolch ethernet sniffer, you'll see
many with no keyboard.
Why would someone separate the keyboard from a box when it
is clipped onto it?
These are not just any keyboard. They have custom shaped cases
and connector specifically for that model dolch.
What would any

I think I'm gonna get in trouble for this answer but while I am not a
keyboard collector, I do buy keyboards when the opportunity arises.
In my particular case, I started out with occasionally buying computers
with missing keyboards because they were inexpensive; far more then when
they had the ke
It is not often you find a 9-pin serial board with Windows keys!
I might have some AT&T serial boards in the back, but I don't think they work
on DEC machines.

Do you want complete terminals and keyboards? The reason they like the
keyboards is because of the feel of the typing. Sometimes they come with the
monitors, and they have no use for them, so they get dumpstered. If you look on

So I have some G-series Flip Chips that I don't have a use for, and I hope
someone out there does. If so, I'd like to trade them for something I _do_
have a use for - e.g. M-series FCs.
Alas, according to the "Spare Module Handbook", these seem to be pretty
exotic, but maybe I'll luck out. They ar

The biggest prize was finding piano.ba
If you still have a MAC plus handy you can experiment
by making short programs and viewing them in hex.
You can build up a translation dictionary that way.
I've done that for other Basics in the past.
You show 16 bit values, be careful they are sometimes
byte swapped. The original encoding is
