For Spares only - Xerox 860DX

2009-12-18T10:28:06Z

I have an old Xerox 860DX solid ink phasar printer (Duplex, Hard Disk, Extra
Input tray - can run from Acorn Postscript 2 driver) together with a
selection of Xerox and Compatible Solid Ink Sticks. The maintenance unit is
almost expired. Its main problem is a faulty scraper system which a previous
service engineer was only able to patch.

Will Acorn A310 work on U.S. power 110v?

2009-12-12T15:37:15Z

I am in the DC area in the states. A few years back I bought an Acorn
Archimedes A5000 from a guy in Florida. Check a pic of the power
supply backplane on that unit:

Not sure what was done to that unit to make it functional on 110v

A3020 - at a loss.

2009-12-10T11:05:35Z

If an A3020 with an econet card (last used on a network I believe) boots
as far as the asterisk and flashing cursor; is it just looking vainly for
its network?
In either case, what needs to be done to reach the desktop?

Fwd: KVM and IYONIX

2009-12-07T13:27:20Z

I have been trying to use a secondhand MyHopper KMH-2 KVM switch to
provide screen, keyboard and mouse functionality to a Windows XP machine
with PS2 connectors and an Iyonix with a PS2-USB adapter into a USB port.
The adpater is brand new.
Operation is perfect for the PC but there is a problem with the Iyonix.

Digital Camera Recommendations

2009-12-04T13:39:00Z

Hi all camerapersons,
I need to buy a digital camera for my Wife for Christmas.
I need it to work with Nixiyo, my Iyonix PC, and, in particular,
it must be capable of storing its pictures in Nixiyo via USB.
Although Wifey has a machine with satan's own OS, I would like
the option of storing the pictures on Nixiyo.

Free Bush "Internet Surf Set" IBX200

2009-12-03T18:19:56Z

I've got one of the above which I got off my local Freegle group. I
thought I'd get around to doing something interesting with it but it's
been sat in the box for a few years now so if anyone has any use for
it, I'd be happy for you to have it.
I was told it was working but I've never actually plugged it in. You'd

Will my R260 live again?

2009-11-29T17:54:32Z

Just before ripping my R260 to bits, in order to swap out the
alarmingly crusty battery, and replace the SCSI drive with compact-
flash (via a SCSI-IDE, and IDE-CF adaptor), I figured I should recover
the CMOS settings to disc, so I'd be able to get RISC iX booting
easily again...
And of course it won't start. Admittedly it hasn't been used a great

I need to replace my printer

2009-11-28T17:37:52Z

The smoke has finally escaped from my Canon pixma ip4000.
It never worked properly with the Iyo - streaky prints and even colour
substitution with !Draw - (although it did well from XP) but I don't
think I've had my moneys-worth.
I like taking photos and want to replace the thing with something of
good quality. I also have a need for a scanner/photocopier and I think

WTB Eurocard rack for Acorn gear

2009-11-23T10:18:31Z

Hi,
Posted before - but thought I'd check again if anyone has a spare
Eurocard
rack (of any kind). This could be just a backplane, or a Eurocard box
without
a rack, anything really.
I'm trying to re-case an expanded Acorn Atom system, that has several
cards
hanging of a 'ribbon cable' backplane and its not great, something a
