I have never had a program to snipe for me, but I like the idea of others
sniping since it saves me money not being tempted to outbid somebody else
before the auction ends. I bid low and if I win good, otherwise I wait for

I have a later TI 990/12 system with a dead power supply. Looking drawings or
schematics andI believe there in the hardware reference manual. The one manual
on bitsavers under 990/10shows a older type of power supply. Mine is
basically all on 1 board. The chassis is a 990 A13

Another nice feature of the offers is you can let them come in and choose
the highest and best use for where the item goes...

Ain't gonna happen.
Other sites tried it, and failed because auctions would literally drag on for
