[E3-hacking] Cliff Lawson?

Hi, Sorry for the noise but does anyone have up to date contact details for Cliff Lawson? He's the E3's designer and has a long history at Amstrad. He used to provide unofficial support for old machines by email and I'm still getting the odd query sent to me after someone's done some Googling

Re: [E3-hacking] Cliff Lawson?

Hi Matt, I assume his old Amstrad email address does not work? Not when I last tried it some months/years ago. He used to have a site with details of old Amstrad equipment on but that too seems to have gone now. http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cliff.lawson/contact.htm

Hi Piotr, I think he still posts on AVR Freaks Thanks. I've registered and PM'd clawson there. Cheers, Ralph. ___ e3-hacking mailing list e3-hacking@earth.li http://www.earth.li/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/e3-hacking

Re: [E3-hacking] Just got an e3 - where do I start

Hi Edward, Is it correct that no revenue is now made from the Emailer family; that the premium rate numbers have been closed, etc., and whoever bought the relevant part of Amstrad has no interest in operating it any more? If so, could an approach to them to make available, e.g. signing

Re: [E3-hacking] Just got an e3 - where do I start

Hi Edward, Thanks for coming back to us with the info from Cliff. If I understand correctly with PBL5.1 the machine wont accept an image over serial though, so this would have to be done by dialling in to another modem? Is that true? IIRC, years ago Cliff suggested one way Amstrad could

Hi Anthony, All I want is to use it as an ordinary phone. If Linux isn't an aim then I'll email you the contact details of the Emailer's designer off-list; perhaps he can help if you contact him directly. Cheers, Ralph. ___ e3-hacking mailing list
