I got one from Rider Computer Services, 12989-80th Avenue, Surrey, BC, Canada, telephone (604) 594-9989. Eustace Enterprises Inc., 10170 Calumet Lane, Lake Worth, Florida 33463, telephone (407) 433-0846, is another source, or was when I was looking. - --- Opus-CBCS 1.12 * Origin: Glacier Peak Rainbow, Bellevue, WA - 206/644-8431 (1:343/3.0) ------------------------------ Date: 11-05-90 (07:59) To: STAN!DANCER!IMP@BOULDER.C Subject: 3.5-INCH DRIVES IN RAINBO From: DAVID MAROUN I tried to install a 3.5-inch Atari single-sided drive in two Rainbows, an A and a B, but with utter failure. You seem to have succeeded in a similar venture. Can you give more details? I used the Rainbow floppy controller cable, which fit the connector on the Atari drive. Is that part of the problem? - --- Opus-CBCS 1.12 * Origin: Glacier Peak Rainbow, Bellevue, WA - 206/644-8431 (1:343/3.0) ------------------------------ Date: 11-07-90 (06:38) To: GEORGE THEALL Subject: ADDING HPIIP LASERPRINTER From: FRANK MALLORY GT> From: William Martin GT> GT> Does one have to do anything unusual to add an HPIIP printer to a GT> Rainbow ? Also, since WordPerfect 5.0 runs under Code Blue, does 5.1 GT> run as well ? You need a m/m gender changer to interface a IIP to your Rainbow. I'm geting a copy of WP 5.1 today; the demo runs OK, so I assume the program itself will as well. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------
