Hi all,
My backup super graphics gold interface started to print garbage and
doesn't line feed properly. I have had this on occassion over the
years and sent the offending unit to Xetec in Kansas. Since they are
no more I wonder if anyone can offer a solution to the repair either
by doing it myself or sending it out for repair. I have been in
contact with a gentlemen in Colorado who does this as a hobby and he
has been helpful and may take the unit for repair should my efforts
fail. I was just wondering if anyone has any further info on this or
by a remote chance a working unit for sale?=20
Thank you

I vote for "B", because it will leave the magazine intact, and because
there are many ways to attain the magazine, including the lowest common
denominator: via Email.

I tend to receive Emails of the nature that "I have this old computer...
where can I sell it?"  Or a sometimes someone is looking for a specific
item.  I usually refer them to this group.  I also do the same when
asked about hardware/software that I either don't have time to answer,
or feel a "collective" answer from the newsgroup would be better than
what I can offer.

For questions regarding specific programs (Dialogue, Novaterm, Desterm,
etc) I actually prefer if the person has access to the newsgroup that
they ask here.   Variety is the spice of life, and having several
answers that each shed a different light on a subject benefits not only
the person who asked, but also those who read the group and may have the
same questions or problems.

And for those of you wondering, I *do* field QWKRR128 and QWKie
questions in Email.   :-)

Anyway, I digress.....

 JB> comp.sys.cbm.forsale.

The last time this was brought up, I was all for it, but couldn't voice
my opinion.  And I'm still all for it, but would like it to be less
specific than "comp.sys.cbm.forsale".

May I suggest  "comp.sys.cbm.classifieds" instead?

This would give those who are searching for specific items a place to
post, too.


One of the complaints about this idea last time it was discussd involved
a concern that there would be a lesser audience for those selling or
looking for things.  Let's look at this in a new light.  Those people
who spam think posting in every newsgroup is reaching a wider audience
too. Sure, but they are also missing the point of advertising.

If you have a "target audience" (such as comp.sys.cbm.classifieds would
be), you're reaching those people who are truly interested in reading
your posts.  I'd rather have 10 people who are interested in buying my
Plus/4 read my post than have 1000 people read it that are more
interested in using programs or discussing CMD products.

 JB> don't own... Also, people interested in discussions are rarely in
 JB> the market for itmes, although I know exceptions occur in both
 JB> cases.

I for one would follow both groups, and would really appreciate being
able to read all the classifieds together in one group rather than
reading them scattered between discussion posts.

Yeah, bummer.  :-)

Thanks for bringing the subject up again.

I know some people who get this Usegroup for a Freenet and most (all)
don't support Dial-Ups.  Also you have to remember we should support the
people who DON'T have PC or Mac.  This usegroup is for 8-bit CBM
computers!

I think the UUencoded bins are just as interesting as the Articles.

I have a C128 and 1571 Drive for sale w/monitor (composite) $100.00 ??

and a C64 and 2 1541 floppy drives for sale $50.00 ??

also an MPS801 printer.  $15.00 ??

All of the above is in perfect working condition, some with original
packaging, and manuals.

Shoeboxxes of software go to the first buyer.

I am the original owner, and began working with IBM P.C.'s several years
ago, and left these orphans.

Best offer buys!
Buyer pays shipping.

I have seven J.K. Lasser's "Your Money Manager" programs for sale.

 $5 each new and still shrink wrapped. + shipping.

 Basically it is something like Quicken.  You may also print checks and

 For C64 or 128 in 64 mode.

Hi! I have the same problems with one
of my 128s jaggy lines around the edges
and nothing in the other modes, I'm
declaring it dead, but if you find any-
thing that gets it up and running again
please let me know what it is. Wish I
could help you out but since I have the
same problem maybe we can find someone
who can help us both..please keep in
touch if you get a clue..I think it's
hopeless, but you never know..good

I'd love to contribute. I remember replying to your posts back in Septemb=

Commodore 64 Cartridges designed for the C64GS Console

V1.0 list by Christopher Coleman
[e-mail]

The following is a list of cartridges that may or may not have been
 released for the C64GS Console system that (I assume) was released
 in the UK.  As you can tell, I'm kinda in severe need of extra
 information about the console/about the games/confirmation of
 release of games, so please feel free to donate any information
 you have (especially if you're from the UK, or actually own the C64GS)


These cartridges were taken from advertisements in a 1991 issue=20
of Commodore Format.  The prices seem to be an average of 20 Pounds
Sterling.

These titles are definite... (well, they're definitely mentioned
in ads. :-)  )

TitlePublisher

Badlands? - probably Domark
Cyberball? - probably Domark

Vindicator? - probably Domark
Operation ThunderboltOcean
Batman The MovieOcean
TokiOcean

These titles, I'm not so sure about

Stunt Car Racer
Microprose Soccer
Rick Dangerous
Fiendish Freddy
Klax
Flimbo's Quest


Again, please, please, please send me any info you may have so
I can update this list/maybe start a C64GS FAQ?  Thank you.

It sounds like the disk you downloaded to is corrupted.  Probably the eas=

thing to do is re-download the program.
