RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Lokrien I am in the NoVA area as well (vienna) and have an IO, just no cable (on order) for the HD! dammit week lead time! 04-13-2000 15:58:33

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) CrazyBee IN Maryland, have two IO's.. Need to replace a BIOS socket on one. NO matter.. I only have parts for one of them. Anyone here know of a place that can install a BIOS socket for me? :) 04-13-2000 16:31:32

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Jack Flanders I'm in downtown Balto. I-O is up and running, but I'm still hacking around. I'd be up for a meet and hack. Have some spare cable and connectors, Lok, if yours doesn't show soon. You might also try the Market Pro show at Timonium Fairgrounds this weekend -- I got most of what I needed at a Market Pro last month. 04-13-2000 16:33:03

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Raistlix I'm in Baltimore. Have mine, just waiting for my Badflash.com thingy. |I do need the cable though ... see you in Timonium! 04-13-2000 18:55:13

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) T-bone Timonium when? Computer show? I'll probably wait for the Gaithersburg computer show. 04-13-2000 19:22:46

Grouping locally. (modified 0 times) nosaJ Well, NPLI said mine was *probably* shipping today. I also just rec'd my email from Tennmax saying the fan was on the way, too. Have the 3.7G HD, now just need the cable. RE: Flashing. We need a connection at UMBC or JHU. I am sure they can do it. I'm working on finding someone, but nada so far. Perhaps, someone could ask around at the fairgrounds this weekend. 04-14-2000 00:13:37

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Spike I'm in Severn, but still waiting on my order at Mountain Road CC. Couldn't find any at either the GB or Columbia CompUSA; maybe this weekend! 04-14-2000 05:18:27

Mountian Rd CC (modified 0 times) nosaJ You might want to check that Mtn Rd CC. I was there Tue night. They had "the sign"!! NO IO. Now I could be wrong, sure, but they seemed pretty certain. 04-14-2000 06:02:53

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) CrazyBee The Gaithrusburg CompUSA will be getting 13 in shortly. As usual, the person did not know when exactly. they tried to only let me taek oen of my pre-pays, but, I persisted. I am sure the employess will grab some, but, the people at that store seem pretty damn dumb. 04-14-2000 09:08:03

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Lokrien Jack Flanders Yeah! I would love to get a cable! I am itching to get mine set up -- all the parts are lying about my living room, just ready to get crushed I might come up for the computer show, but i don't have directions. Do you know a URL that has them (coming from 495) ??? BTW, if you still haven't got a USB ehternet adapter, check www.VA.com, they have a D-Link 650 for only $18.95!!! I am going to take back my Netgear one, so that if I screw up the adapter when installing it internally, i won't feel too bad at losing $20. Shipping is free from them too! 04-14-2000 09:29:14

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) JACK FLANDERS Lok: Need some contact info if you still need this cable. Look up Timonium Farigrounds on mapquest or try marketproshows.com 04-14-2000 12:23:15

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Lokrien oops! sorry i am: syrnx (at) zdnetmail (dot) com rush fan if ya didn't know! thanx 04-14-2000 14:41:48

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Lokrien s y r n x it looked like symx on my screen! 04-14-2000 15:04:58

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) CrazyBee Hey, anyone here have an IO that I can use to re-flash my BIOS chip with my backup copy? If, so, email me at gsopko @ gmu . edu 04-15-2000 15:33:25

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Looper Profile Hey! Jack Flanders if you still have any 44 pin cable and connectors. I am willing to buy them from you. I am located in Towson just moved from Federal Hill. Please contact me at wlangan4(at)hotmail(dot)com 04-15-2000 20:03:04

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Michael I'm in Laurel. I'd be interested in getting together if others are interested. I could probably provide a location. Laurel is pretty central to Balto. and DC. mdecker @ usermail . com 04-15-2000 21:13:20

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) apaulo To Jack Flanders; I am in Columbia, and I would like to meet and see your hd mount. By the way, I went to the MarketPro show and I looked around but nobody I talked to knew what I was talking about when I said laptop ide. At which booth did you score ? I also have a motive for meeting, I would like to borrow a bios or flash in your board. But I would understand if you are leery, since it requires taking apart a working computer, always a risk and an inconvenience. 04-16-2000 20:17:29

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Jack Flanders Apaulo: A lot easier to do if you tell me how to reach you... 04-17-2000 08:29:49

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) apaulo Jack: my email is ppachura@home.com Thanks. 04-17-2000 09:33:41

Parts in Bal/Wash/NoVA? (modified 0 times) GMontag@dc2600.com Does anybody know of a dirt-world store around here with decently proced parts, like 128 MEG SODIMM (we need the iMac variety, correct?), surface mount 0 ohm resistors, sm capacitors, larger capacity 2.5" IDE HDD, and other assorted pieces? If they have prices anywhere close to online parts that is cool with me (I hate ordering stuff online, personal privacy thing, much prefer cash). Still waiting for a NoVA store to get some of the boxes. 04-17-2000 12:45:03

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) nosaJ here's a place: Active Electronics Sales Corp 6714 Ritchie Hwy # G Glen Burnie, MD (410) 863-0070 It's across from the Best Buy and one block south of the big MVA HQ, in strip mall, behind Pizza Hut. They have plenty of components on the shelf, like IC's, res's, & all the like. No IO yet, but lookin forward to hackin' 04-17-2000 21:55:15

RE: Active (modified 0 times) Jack Flanders In other words, just across the street from the Governor Plaza CompUSA store, eh? Quite convenient. 04-18-2000 14:06:32

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) nosaJ Gave up on NPLI. Will resume project at a later date. However, I have in hand: $27 Tennmax Lasagna fan, $20 2.5"-->3.5" IDE adapter, and $137 3.2G HDD. 9.5mm $35 IMOD-2 in transit to me. Any buyers? No profit taking here. All new, all in packaging, and all at exact cost. I live near BWI, will be in Old Town Alexandria Sat evening, travel to Towson a lot. So I'll meet you somewhere. nosaJ_IO@email.com 04-19-2000 20:33:11

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Blah 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adapters can be bought from Computer Renaissance (at least the one in Alexandria/Van Dorn) for $6.99 The 2.5" HD mount I made costs 19 cents from flash aluminum sheet at Home Depot (works perfectly). Still unable to find a suitable 5v fan and cable. Going to the computer show in Montgomery Co, hoping to find them there. 04-20-2000 07:49:36

DC 2600 meeting, swap parts and info (modified 0 times) GMontag@dc2600.com This will probably be a big topic at the next 2600 meeting, May 5th at Pentagon City Mall. http://www.2600.com/ No, it is not a bunch of kids, many of us left 30 in the dust years ago 04-20-2000 11:35:51

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) CrazyBee Oh man, 2600 meets!! I havent been there since 1995! It sucked then and from what I have heard, it still kinda sucks now. But, I'll stop by and see if any of my old freinds will be there.. 04-20-2000 19:57:30

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) GMontag@dc2600.com Anybody messing with the WebSurfer yet? I got my hands on one, still no IO. Will be bringing whatever I have on hand to the DC 2600 meeting this Friday May 5th. 04-29-2000 10:21:54

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Spike+Whinesilencer Just picked up my I-Opener from CC on Mountain Road, so I'm finally in the game. Haven't had a chance to check it thoroughly yet, but it seems to be a version 2 (hooray)! No security screws on this one, but I have the proper bit even if it had them. Anyone with the latest revision here, I just might be your new best friend. I breezed through the documentation and must say that I could not find any mention of the TOS anywhere in my box, just a flyer listing the number to call to set-up my account. Box had original unbroken tape, no security screws, no mention of TOS, & gooped BIOS; damn, almost thought I had a version 1. -Spike 05-02-2000 11:13:05

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) apaulo CC in Rockville just got a shipment of 25, for pre-orders only. 05-02-2000 13:15:27

RE:Balt/WashDC - this is where I am (modified 0 times) KickinChicken Profile I live in Ellicott City MD, and haven't been involved in this kind of hardware hacking since I did TTL and CMOS kinds of things back in the stone age. I have 2 unopened iOpeners (I've been too busy to even open them yet so I don't know which version I received; ordered them from CompUSA in Columbia right after the first Slashdot story, received them about 3 - 4 weeks ago) that I bought with the goal of converting to Linux for general use and web surfing. Is anyone nearby interested in comparing notes, maybe working on this with me? Is there an iOpener hack group or eList in the Baltimore area? If so, sign me up. My email is toucan99@rcn.com Thanks. 05-03-2000 08:23:47

Upgrade WSP to AMD K6? (modified 0 times) GMontag@dc2600.com Is the K6 a direct replacement (just change chip and MB jumpers) or will it fry? Thanks in advance Montag 05-22-2000 10:11:58

RE:Balt/WashDC - Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Bueller? (modified 0 times) Blah For those who still want an I-Opener, Circuit City in Gaithersburgh and Frederick still have a few left. Gaithersburg has 2 (on 5/24) that are V3.5 with a box date of 4/21. Since CuntUSA is cancelling orders, you might want to hurry and snatch these up. I'm gonna press CuntUSA to fulfill their backorders, since the RiseMP6 seems pretty good, and hoping they'll be getting these. sigh 05-24-2000 07:46:11
