Our mailer croaked with "zero byte record too large for user's buffer" or something like that. Maybe I sent a control character by mistake somewhere. Looks like the mailer doesn't like backspaces! NEW NEWSLETTER FOR ADVANCED COMPUTER HOBBYISTS Net members interested in bringing up surplus Multibus and/or bare computer boards, may be interested in receiving a sample copy of the 68796 Hacker's Newsletter, which is just now going into the mail. The initial issue is mostly devoted to the set of WICAT MINISYSTEM boards (An out of date 68000 system sold by Unicorn Electronics), and the AMC 95/ and 96/1128 and 96/4116 boards (presently on sale at Halted Specialties); both Multibus systems. The editor proposes a User's Group to help support these and other "orphan" systems. The newsletter will differ from most in that it will be mostly concerned with hardware in detail, then with firmware and system software, and hardly at all with the stuff you see in most of the computer magazines. At any rate, 40 sample copies of the above newsletter, devoted to hardware hacking on the 68000 and/or Multibus (IEEE-796) are available for the asking. The mailing address is: 68796 Hacker's Newsletter Victor Frank 12450 Skyline Blvd. Woodside, CA 94062 If you send me a request by netmail, please include a U.S. mail address.
