[aclug-L] Re: AUI -> TP converter

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They're at 37th and Web.  Simplest way to get there IMHO, is to take HW 96
east to Rock.  Take Rock north to the 37th Street intersection (a 4-way
stop), then turn right (east).  The last drive on your left (north) before
you get to Web is where you need to turn.  Then go to the far east end of
the parking lot there in front of the building.  Trailing Edge is the
east-most door.

For motherboards, pricewatch is the best, IMO (unless you want a real old
motherboard--486 or older).  For power supplies... might try Command
Computer.  It depends a lot on what you want.

CCS often has the best prices, but also has the "junkiest" stuff and the
worst selection.  NCR has the best selection, but very high prices. 
Trailing edge is a sort of the best of both worlds.  They're much better
organized than CCS, and have nicer stuff.  They have the best prices on old
HDs... :-)

Floppy disk tip #2: Diskettes should be cleaned and waxed once a week. 
Microscopic metal particles may be removed by waving a powerful magnet over
the surface of the disk.  Any stubborn metal shavings can be removed with
scouring powder and steel wool.  When waxing a diskette, make sure the
surface is even.  This will allow the diskette to spin faster, resulting in
better access time.
