Hi all,

Do you know of anyone in packet or JNOS or whatever that could use the
following (all or parts)?

IBM PS/2 Model 50 (80286-10 MHz, 60 MB disk, 1 MB ram, runs DOS)

13 inch IBM color CRT

IBM Keyboard and mouse

IBM ProPrinter II (letterhead size, Z-fold paper, Dot Matrix )

It would make a great packet or APRS PC without tying up the main PC at home.

This is a very clean machine (ex-UH student used it in the early 1990's).

FREE !!!

p.s. Can someone post this offer to HIHAM list? I'm not a memeber.

sale at their front parking lot on Saturday morning, 26th February 2000.

     Please give this your widest dissemination to others both on O'ahu and
neighbor islands, some of which may be in Honolulu.

     For more details or specifics one may contact Mel Teruya HNL Electronics.
His e-mail is: honelex@...

     Respectfully submitted.

Aloha,

I have the following equipment go give away for FREE. But you must have a
reasonable use for it.
This was used by a UH graduate in the early 1990's and is in excellent shape.

1) IBM PS/2 model 50 Z computer
	 80286 - 10 MHz
	 1 MB RAM
	 30 MB disk
	 Keyboard and mouse

2) IBM 13 inch CRT (VGA color)

3)  IBM ProPrinter II standard width (Letterhead) dot-matrix printer
	 with big box of z-fold paper

Note: the PC will NOT run Windows.

Suggested use:
	 Great for DOS programs such as:
	 APRS, Packet, etc.

	 Great for EOCs or monitoring

	 Great as a dial-in PC using ProComm for UH or UNIX use
	 (I can provide a 9600 modem, too)

You guys should check this out.  It's really neat.  It's a site set
up with NASA to help them with a project that they are conducting.
Your name will be put on a CD and sent to Mars.  Really cool.

http://spacekids.hq.nasa.gov/2001/nameform.cfm

As most of you know, the 146.880 is on low power (sans PA) and can
only be heard in a much smaller footprint around Diamond Head.  I
have been monitoring the 449.150 uhf link and have been able to
conduct communications as long as I am in range of the uhf link
transmitter.  This way the repeater is still usable for those with
dual band capability (or with an additional receiver to monitor on
uhf).  Another work around that is available.
