Thanks for copying that message, Doug. This was well before me re-joining,
Way back in the mid 70s, I picked up a keyboard that someone told me was
from a Spectrola, but it was all electronic. EBCDIC, with a big diode
matrix, George Risk sealed key switches, and a few Fairchild ICs (DTL, I
think, but it's been a long time.)
I don't know what it went to, but it

1) Is Jay OK?
Was the retirement by choice? not health or circumstances?
Does he
Thanks David!

It's being run by someone else, since Jay has retired from the hosting
business, and didn't want to keep running it. I'm not sure what else there

There were

Well, I don't really know because as far as I can tell, there was nothing said
to the ordinary list members about what happened. I assumed some sort of
emergency arose and that an announcement would be made in due course when the
pressure was off so I waited to see. Nothing appeared. I'm still
If by "coup" you mean rescued from getting turned off, then yes.

It's just an empty chassis. It and the blue dual floppy MDS drive cabinet are
the only 2 MB items I've owned for years.
Maybe I have the part # wrong. I habe to dig itnout. Looks like this or very
similar:

I'm assuming that the 286/20 is a series II type with monitor built in?
If so, it has a single density floppy controller built into the IOC board.
You didn't post any pictures so I can't tell if there is a controller set
there. Until I left Intel,
all the disk controllers were a two board set.
I obtained a bunch of MB (1?) cards from a fellow list member. Mostly Intel, 1
Matrox video card. Didn'y see a floppy controller anywhere, but I'll have to
look closer. I have an Intel 286/20 chassis (the 20 doesn't mean mhz). Got to
get me a keyboard and I'll be all set, right? O how I wish.
I took typing at Tempe High because the future ex-Mrs Firestone was in that
class.

Most useful class (besides algebra) I took in school...

It appears there was some sort of coup in July 2022. The mailing list owner
was apparantly replaced and the list was moved from where it was previously
hosted to somewhere new. There were some vague declarations about needing to
deal with archives but I never saw any formal or informal
