I've recently found a place where you might be able to find some of the old 24
pin EPROMS.
It's a place called Computer Recyclers and it has tons of old PC parts -- stuff
like 8-bit
MFM controllers for the XT (Real hard to find nowadays).  They list the
28764 at $4.50 -- not too bad for such a rare item.  Here's their address:

Terry, leave a msg for Marty and ask for the number to Fox Electronics. They
also recycle parts... they are a chip pulling house! They like to move
inventory faster than some, but you need to know the part number you're looking
for and call for availability, as they don't print a regular catalog- inventory
changes to fast and to of
ten! But the prices you'll get are worth the call.

Would you mind writing up a little file on how to get around the Internet,
{especially the CoCo and OS-9 areas? You have it fresh in your mind.. about
what a beginner goes through.. and that's what I need for a short article!

     RE: internet & ftp (Re: Msg 86556)
     From: WDTV5        To: DSRTFOX

Ok, grab this!
1. First you must have Internet access via delphi.
2. Then, from the root directory of delphi, where you can see the "internet
services" entry in the menu, enter "internet" wo the quotes.
3. When the internet menu comes up, type "ftp" w/o the quotes.
4. The prompt will change to "FTP>" and it will ask you for your destination,
enter it as you see it listed, no quotes, the old cabralas site for instance
is now chestnut.cs.wisc.edu, enter the site name in lowercase as here.
5. When it connects, FTP will assume a default name of anonymous and will
accept the default of your delphi handle + @delphi.com as a password, all
you have to do is hit the enter key to have it accept those defaults.
6. Once into the remote site, I do a 'dir' no quotes, in lowercase.
This will show you the present directory's contents and perms.
7. I was able to 'cd pub' ok, but found from there on that any deeper cd's
would have to be in the form (quotes included) of cd "COCO3".
8. once there, or anyplace else you might want to go up the directory tree,
do another 'dir' to see whats there, and either cd "NEWDIR" to go up one,
or cd .. to back out, just as if it was an os9 system. In this present
case, I did a cd "MISC", then another dir to find the file I was interested
in, ansifront010.lzh.
9. to move this file to your delphi workspace, first type (in uppercase)
BINARY. enter of course. Wait till the prompt comes back alltho it may be
@
that the sites opsys can stack the commands, I did see it do that once.
10. now type GET filename(enter). FTP will report as it has before but I've
not noted here, that a path has been opened but there will be no more
response from FTP until the file has been moved to your workspace here.
11. Once that has been done, you can either resume your explorations of
the remote system, or sign off with the usual "bye"(enter) no quotes.
12. that will return you to the internet prompt here on delphi, hit the
usual control z to get out of that, go to your workspace and type zdow.
13. thats all folks, you all know the rest of how to dld a file from
here. BTW, the 010 version of ansifront has some bugfixes and improvements
over 0_9.  Such as making a hashed name vs real name file so's you can
see what names didn't make it to the linker stage, causeing r.link to
upchuck and abort.
Dress this up a bit, see the current issue of "ONLINE ACCESS" for a few
more blow by blow accounts of how to "Internet". Chers, Gene Heskett

     RE: internet & ftp (Re: Msg 86559)

   Gene, and others..

A few `tips' I found on my way and would like to pass around.

> 9. to move this file to your delphi workspace, first type (in uppercase)
> BINARY. enter of course.

  BINARY can also be typed in lower case without the quotes here on
Delphi.

> 10. now type GET filename(enter).

  Remember that Delphi is a VAX system.  A single `dot' is needed in a
filename.  So, if you see a filename like:  big.utility.UPDATE.lzh
and want to `get' this, try it like this..

      get "big.utility.UPDATE.lzh" stuff.lzh

  Just quote the filename as you see it, and shorten it to something
you will remember with just one `dot' between the filename and extension.
Delphi will send the string you quoted, and use the second part as the
filename for your workspace for you to download.  Rename it to what you
want on your home computer.

  I've been doing this for a while now, and assumed other people knew
how to do this <g>.  Just wanted to share what I had to learn.

86553 28-MAR 23:04 General Information
     Announcement
     From: COLORSYSTEMS To: ALL

Announcing! X10 Master Control Program for OSK and KWindows!

Features:

Dual user selectable interfaces. One is the "standard" K-Windows Menu
Style interface. It has a menu bar of functions functions and a "toolbar"
of quick action buttons. The other interface is in a "popup" style window
which is "on top of" the window it was created on and only contains buttons
for quick action. It is movable and resizable.

With the single click of your mouse you can now turn a light on or off.
With an additional mouse drag of a slide bar you can dim a light to any
of 16 discrete levels. With just a few more mouse clicks these actions
can be performed on up to 16 remote modules at the same time. With menu
bar functions you can access all modules available from you X10 Powerhouse
Controller, a total of 256 different remote modules, with direct commands
which are executed immediately or with programmed events which occur at the
date, day and time you specify.

Store pre-programmed commands to turn units on or off or dimmed on any
date and time or on repetative times, like at 4PM every Tuesday. You can
even have the X10 vary the time just slightly each repetition to give
would be robbers the illusion of non-computer control.

You can save your configuration of known modules and current X10 program
memory to a disk file for later recovery after a power failure and you
were caught without a good battery! Access all other functions on the X10
like, display current base house code, display current date and time and
even run an X10 diagnostic on the X10 controller via other menu bar functions,
all using full mouse for input. Remote Module Identification is one of the
only times you need to touch your keyboard while using the X10 Master Control
Program from ColorSystems!

X10 Master Control Program will be available for delivery at the upcoming
Chicago CoCoFest at a special introductory price. After the 'fest it will
be available for mail order for a slightly higher cost.


Features of the X10 Powerhouse Controller:

Access remote modules which are fully compatable with the line of "Plug 'n'
Power" modules available at Radio Shack.

Eight on/off rocker switches control units 1-8 for the currently selected
base housecode.

Access up to 256 modules with one controller. (Sixteen units for sixteen
housecodes, access must be either with computer interface or pre-programmed
event to act on any module outside the range of the keypad or in a housecode
different from the controller's current base housecode.)

Store up to 128 pre-programmed events.

Once programmed, may be detached from the computer, but while connected,
pre-programmed events and events initiated via the on board rocker switches
are reported back to the computer interface.



At Chicago I will have a limited supply of brand new X10 controllers and
assorted Plug 'n' Power modules and will be offering them at a special price
when purchased with the X10 Master Control Program.


If you would like to get pricing and ordering information just drop me a line
in private Email.

 His # is 606-787-5783 ( I think ).  If this doesn't get him, get back
