If you don't get a buyer, and would consider donating to another
private non-profit organization, please let me know, either in this forum
or by sending netmail to 1:128/58, or by calling me at:

I do work for the organization Silver Key Senior Services, and they
use them for word processing.

Warner,
There was an article in RAINBOW NEWS sometime back about what was necessary
to add dual sided drives to the 'bow.  It involved a modification to the
DOS drive parameter table (if I remember correctly).  Unfortunately, I've
never hacked into DOS, so I don't know the particulars.  You might want
to call Caroline Mack of IRUG to obtain the back issue.  Her number is 618/632-1
As Always,
Paul

From:     ANDREW TAYLOR

I'm looking for an extra long keyboard cable, and dimly recall mutterings
from the distant past to the effect that you can't just use a phone cord
for the keyboard cable, even though DEC have gone to great lengths to make
it look just like one.

True or False?

Ideas for where to get a loooong keyboard cable.

As ever: Thanks to all!
