Re: [eug-lug]Free Monitor
Thats really great and everything, but I do have atleast one monitor in eugene, its really out here that I could use a monitor. If Bob can use it, and doesnt need it when I get back (could be years, I have no idea) but It doesnt look like Ill be back anytime too soon. Its weird that there are so many places that wont take a decent working monitor! I can understand about some placed charging money, as they probably get a lot of dead monitors (or ones that work for 5 minutes...) and end up having to recycle them at thier expense... If my car sells (which it hasnt... even though I lowered the price) Ill probably get a laptop, the I wont need this monitor on all the time, and can move it around... P.S. Anyone looking for a fast car? I have a vintage 1982 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo for sale... only $1,500. I rarely drive it, and have restored most of it. It has some minor issues that would be good to fix, but works fine as it is. Its fast, and has decent speakers (6) on the stock stereo, power everything (even windows), and a halfway decent paint job.

Re: [eug-lug]Free Monitor
MacRenewal is cool, but they're for Macs only. I'd wager there are 10 times as much non-Mac equipment that could use a good tax-deductible home. Plus, based on the website, MacRenewal appears to be sending the equipment to other communities. I am thinking more locally. Freecycle http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreecycleEugene/ - neat idea. A Yahoo Group for offering and acquiring free stuff. I joined, but based on the postings, not particularly oriented to computer equipment. Plus, if someone does not already have a computer, not a particularly useful tool. Freegeek.org - Yeah, I was thinking exactly like that! Though, I have to wonder about this: You can recycle http://www.freegeek.org/recycle.php your old computer equipment. We accept any computers, in any condition; there is a $10 fee for all monitors. That's even worse than the $5 St Vinny's wanted. What's up with the fee for monitors? Guess I'll ask FreeGeek. Just out of curiosity, and not asking for any commitments, would anyone be interested in participating in something like FreeGeek for Eugene? The biggest hurdle, aside from sufficient people-power, would be acquiring space for storage and testing.

Re: [eug-lug]Magsav tapes
Curt, This will be a short reply as I don't have much time at the moment; but I have worked with the Prime Magsav/Magrst format quite a bit in the distant past. In fact, I wrote a proposal a few months ago to help someone recover data from a large collection of Magsav tapes. At that time, I was able to find several packages to read Magsav tapes. At least one of them even helped with data on Magsav tapes in various Prime formats - like MidasPlus format. Unfortunately, none of these were exactly low cost. I could dig out my report and give you the names of the software, if you would like. Also, I would be happy to discuss the problem with you if you would like. Just call me using the contact information listed at the end of this posting. (By the way, I spend most of my week days in Eugene presently.) Dave Mandel On Tue, 28 Oct 2003, Curt Vendel wrote: Are there any free or low cost utils out there for Linux to Read magsave tapes??? The STG package is way too expansive for hobbyists and their service starts are $400/hr, again insane. jbase.com has a magres util built into its software, but it appears to only be able to restore 1 directory and not multiple subdirectories. The jbase.com software is a free download. Anything else out there more robust and more affordable, if there were a package for like $99 or $199 that would be great, but not $3500 from STG !!!
