When I built my first hard drive I made 19 way connectors by cutting off the
excess from some 25 way ones. This works OK except that you only get one
locking screw. I've made 23 way Amiga video plugs the same way.

For those of you who like to connect your ST to various displays, why not make
a 13 way DIN to DB15 cable. DB15 connectors are cheap and in great abundance.
You can then make DB15 to SCART/Composite video/Whatever very cheaply and
easily.

Beta VCR.  Although I would pay cash for it, I would prefer to trade one of my 
EDV-7500s (+ a cash difference, of course).  The 7500 that I would trade is one 
of three units that I own and it had been used only once.  A friend wanted to 
see just how good his 32" XBR picture could be.  So, instead of yanking one of 
the 7500s out of my cabinet, I decided to take the unopened one over my 
buddy's place.  The Demo tape was played and the unit reboxed.  (By the way, 
the picture on the big screen was astonishing--he kids me about being the 
last one alive who is devoted to Beta...but he had to admit it blows his 
"super" VeryHardtoSee picture away!  It's a shame that everyone couldn't 
have the opportunity to see ED-Beta....unfortunately, it's a "vicious"
--spelled "VHS"--world.)

  If you, or anyone that you may know of, doesn't require the 9x00's 
editing features, but has a library of ED tapes and would like to stay with 
THE BEST CONSUMER VTR format, please call me (216-433-8323) or e-mail 
response.

  For those not familiar with it, the 7500 has the following features:
      --500 lines of recordable resolution
      --Y/C and RCA video outputs (1 each, simultaneously driven)
      --Two audio outputs
      --Line 2 input on front panel
      --DIGITAL SPECIAL EFFECTS
          --freeze frame and 1/4x slow playback
          --Stop Motion with sound: 6-step speed control from 1/16sec. to 
            2sec intervals
          --Digital scan up to 60x normal speed
          --Digital recall of a stored frame
      --Flying erase head
      --Shuttle Edit control: allows precise edit in/out to be found 
        WITHOUT exiting record-pause mode (same as on the EDC-55 and EDW-
        10F camcorders).
      --Control-S in & out 
      --Synchro-Edit Switch to perform in master/slave editing mode 
        (automatically engages "edit" mode which turns off unnecessary 
         circuitry--maintains picture quality through multiple generations)

Just curious: does the Canadian 9300 RECORD in B1shb mode?

Thanks.

	I've just acquired a small apartment building that has 8 units. I

(1) keep a tenant list, with comment fields for things like phone numbers and
    other necessary information

(2) Rent due and rent payment record, receipts printing

(3) maintaince record

(4) monthly and yearly summary,
 
   These are the basic functions I need.  It should be compatible with my
IBM XT, or MAC IIsi. It will be nice if it has laser printer support, but
support for a cheap parellel or serial printer is aceptable. I don't really
prefer packages that are designed for special forms that I must order from
certain company. I'd prefer to have all the printouts on the cheap fan-fold
paper or the plain white laser printer paper. 
   It will be nice if the package will have capacity for further units. Like
I am becoming the second DeSantis *-)
 
   Anyone has such a program or have any recommendations ?

Ditto for the Apple

	don't have another sparc with peripherals (local or net) and the 	
	manufacturer (INGRES,ORACLE,ASTERIX,SYBASE etc) does not provide 3.5" 			diskette distribution? Do you have to copy everything to multiple
	tapes and then tote the tape drive around with you ?

	
	Do any of those systems have a built in CD-ROM drive ?

I am interested in buying some laboratory rodent cages.  These are the 
ones with the plastic tub, about 10"w 20"l 6-8"h.  They have a steel lid that 
protrudes down into the cage which holds the food and water.  The main 
advantages being the rats can't soil their food and there is less waste, they 
can't get at the water bottle (besides the tube) to chew it up, and these cages 
are easier to clean.  I'm switching from ten-gallon aquariums, which have 
become to much of a chore to clean, etc.  If anyone has these lab type cages 
for sale, or knows of a wholesaler or retailer that sells them relatively 
inexpensively (the only one I know of sells them for about $60 each), please 
post or e-mail me.
Thanks, 
Barry
