Hello.. I recall a month or so ago, someone volunteering to put a parts kit distribution together... Could that person give us a status update? Thanks.. -Paul -- Paul Nakada | Oracle Corporation | pnakada@oracle.com

I haven't had much interest, so I might not be able to provide all the kits listed below, but here's what I recently posted: X-Path: mac.dartmouth.edu!Steven.D.Ligett From: Steven.D.Ligett@mac.dartmouth.edu To: pc532@bungi.com Subject: The Return of ... Date: 26 Nov 90 13:21:49 Reply-To: pc532@bungi.com Precedence: bulk The PC532 Parts Kit News Volume 2, Number 1 Picture Postcards Wait! Don't go yet. I suckered you in to reading this, even though you aren't interested in the "PC532 Parts Kit News", with my clever subject line. :-) I'd like to ask a favor of you. A friend of mine, Syndey Long, has been ill since spring. As we're heading into the dark season here, I thought she might like to get some picture postcards to brighten her days. From vacation spots, and other places around the world. I've sent her a couple, so, there's a theme. The message on the card is variations of: Having a great time in the sun at Post Pond, wish you were here. The Ligetts (Post Pond is our local swimming hole.) So, if you have the time to dash off a card to Sydney, with that message, or any reasonable variation, thank you very much! Her address is: Sydney Long Rural Route 2, Box 262C Lyme, New Hampshire 03768 USA (Hey, no, she's not trying to get in the Guiness Book of Records, really!!) --- Page 2 Old News I've been putting off sending this note, trying to finish up all the old PC532 Parts Kit orders that weren't (finished). At this point, I have only two left - Marc A. Boschma et. al., and some 2681's for Tom Javen. Everything else has gone out. So, check what you've gotten, and if you haven't gotten it all by November 30, write me. I hearby declare round one of the PC532 Parts Kits (almost) done. --- Page 3 New News Last week, I got MY PC532 PCB from George and Dave. It's a beauty. Nice, clean, spacious layout. Anyway, I don't have all parts to stuff it, so it's time to start round two of the PC532 Parts Kits. I will be doing PC532 parts kits again. Differently from the first time. (Better, faster, easier, etc.) I've grouped the parts into 16 kits of related pieces based on the partial orders I got the first time. I won't be selling the 80 or so individual different parts separately. Here are the 16 kits: Kit Price Description 1 $14 All Capacitors 2 10 Crystal and Oscillators 3 10 All resistors, fuses, diodes, leds, resistor networks 4 35 All 74xxx logic 5 31 All PALs and Eprom (all programmed) 6 20 8 mc145406's 7 23 4 scn2681's 8 34 1 aic6250el 9 9 1 dp8490 10 19 1 ds1216e 11 10 cpu socket 12 20 8 SIMM sockets 13 15 4 "XT" connectors 14 50 8 serial I/O kits - cables, connectors, screwlocks, brackets 15 60 All other sockets, connectors, jumpers, scsi cable, etc. 16 300 4 Toshiba THM91000AS-70 70 ns 1 meg x 9 SIMMs What's In The Kits? If you order all kits, 1 - 16, you'll have everything to bring up your PC532, except the CPU, FPU, and ICU. All the parts are new, bought from authorized distributors. The memory is genuine Toshiba 70 ns 1 meg SIMMs with parity. If a bunch of you want me to look for cheaper memory, write. If there's interest, I'll get a price for 70 ns 3rd party SIMMs with parity, probably using Micron Technology parts. If you are interested in getting 4 meg SIMMs, write. I'll look for a price. All the sockets except the CPU socket are from AMP. They are dual-leaf beryllium copper, with gold plating. Good sockets, but not the most expensive. The other connectors are from AMP too, and have gold plating. How to Order Follow the instructions below. Please send your order by December 17th. Orders received after that will be returned.
