Re: Meeting III - Meindert Kuipers - 07-18-2003

Weekend of August 30 is OK for me. September 20 not. A week later (september 27) is OK.

Meindert


Re: Meeting III - Thibaut.be - 07-18-2003

I would vote for Sept 20 please , I'm on holiday end August.

And yes, some side activities such as software workshops (hints in programming) and hardware (simple problem repair) would be great ! Of course any cultural activities are welcome !

September 20th or following week-ends should be OK.
I would present my system:

- building a 4K Eprom box for HP-41
- transfering data from/to HP-41 to/from PC
- ...
Do you have an oldest 286, 386 or 486 in order to show several ISA cards functionning?
Yours.

Re: Meeting III - Christoph Giesselink - 07-19-2003

Christoph


Re: Meeting III - Meindert Kuipers - 07-19-2003

September 20 is not possible, August 30 is OK. I would gladly show my MLDL2000 proto and development environment.

Meindert


Re: Meeting III - Matthias - 07-19-2003

I'm not shure what you mean:

a) What will cost a hotel to sleep in Basel?
b) Question to the public, if we should reat a room for our meeting.

I think, you mean a) but please tell me...

Matthias


Re: Meeting III - Matthias - 07-19-2003

I still wait for statements of other users of this forum. Please .... what about our german and italien collectors?


Re: Meeting III - Raymond Del Tondo - 07-19-2003

Hi,

both dates Aug. 30, Sep. 20 are just fine.

Raymond


Re: Meeting III - ALBERT - 07-20-2003

Hi Matthias,

I would like to know how much for a cheap room for my wife and I near Basel, that's right now? Thanks in advance.


Re: 98xx repair - Achim - 07-20-2003

I just got a working 9820A. So I'm prepared...


Re: 98xx repair - Achim - 07-20-2003

Hmm, difficult...
The 9815A is a hardware class of its own.
What exactly do you mean with "sick"?


Re: 98xx repair - Achim - 07-20-2003

I think I should open a hospital ;-)


Re: Meeting III - Matthias - 07-20-2003

I would say arround 90€ for a doube room with bath room... perhaps we will also find a cheaper hotel without breakfast , shower, ...

Here's an italian one :-)
Both dates proposed should be fine.

When I mentioned this to my wife she soon asked to be there with me for tourism and shopping :-(

So I too would be interested to know about the price and availability of rooms in decent hotels.

Thanks,
Massimo


Re: 98xx repair - Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) - 07-21-2003

The display doesn't turn on anymore; it was working OK until a few hours before shipping it to me (at least the seller was kind enough to sensibly lower the price for it).

Thanks,
Massimo


Re: Meeting III - Matthias - 07-21-2003

Cool.. would sept 27 also fit? Hotels are arround 90€ for a double room with bath...


Re: 98xx repair - Achim - 07-21-2003

Seems as if either the display is broken (very bad, spare parts only from another 9815) or there is a contact problem (very easy, just open the 9815 and check every board). Have you checked the fuse? Can you print the x-register (press PRINT)? If yes: the display is propably broken.


Re: Meeting III - Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) - 07-21-2003

Sep 27 should be equally fine for us.
Thanks for the info about hotels.

Massimo


Re: 98xx repair - David Smith - 07-21-2003

I have a 9815 with a flakey display. Several segments are either blank or very weak with only partial gas discharge along their length that changes as other digits are entered. I think it is the display module but could be the high voltage supply. I think one may be able to use the display from a Compucorp/Monroe/Sumlock machine. I have been meaning to try this for a long time... I have a Compucorp with a corroded keyboard.


Re: 98xx repair - Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) - 07-22-2003

Thanks for the tips Achim, I'll try them out during next weekend.
