Hi, I have an apple 2c with a french keyboard arrangement and I would prefer the QWERTY arrangement. I know you can press the button on the top to essentially switch it back to QWERTY but I was wondering if I can just replace a ROM and physically re-arrange the keys to QWERTY?

I grew up in the UK and used them when I was at school. I have only just got myself one also. I love how configurable they are and the sheer amount of tinkering to be done!

I think museums are vital to preserve the rarest and unmanageable hardware. However, any museums that do not allow user interactions are always very disappointing. After all, we can all google pics of whatever machine we like. There are clear examples of machines that should be preserved and not...

Thanks, OK ill attempt to preserve them all. No harm if they are already available.

A colleague found this. There is info from a magazine advert but I was wondering if there were any manuals / schematics around? Cheers

Google is not bringing much up on these disks. THey are 5.25" PWKS V4.0 PC DECWIN. I found a couple of sets and was wondering if they need preserving etc. Cheers

I picked up a Sun Ray 2 thin client and was wondering what smart card I can use with it? Is it only Sun Microsystems ones?

Hi, I have a mac plus and can boot it using a SCSI2SD, is it possible to create a boot floppy disk using the Plus only? Do I just drag the system folder to a floppy? Thanks

I recently took custody of a few O2s, and this beast. I love SGI/irix but little experience.

Hi, I have the same issue and requirements so I wrote thinglist.org. Its not good at the minute but I will be pushing changes that make it feature complete and robust soon. I can then ping you to try it out? THanks Simon

Sorry for delay. I went to boot the DEC 3000 and nothing happened, my first suspect is the PSU. I wanted to overhaul it but realized I do not know what its meant to be producing in terms of voltages etc.

Does anyone have a schematic or pinout for the DEC power supply, H7883-AA? I am trying to fix one. Thanks!
