We had the meeting in Roy's basement across the street from the church.

Greg brought in an external SCSI drive that he is brokering for a friend. Ed installed a RamFast card Roy's IIgs and Greg atttempted to access the drive. When that didn't work, he attempted to format it. That didn't work either.

Greg demoed Specrtrum Automated Mailer (SAM) for Brian, it was uncoperative as usual.

Ed and Bill looked over the AppleLinc server computer to see if another IDE drive could be added. The BIOS is too ald to add a drive that size, plus the onboard IDE controller is burned out so all we have is this one IDE card that already has two drive on it. Ed volunteered a known good dual IDE controller that has it's own BIOS.

Brian brought in some more toys for distrobution.

No other report

Saturday, February 2, 2002:

Regular member attendees were:
Roy, Ed, Bill, Dain, and Greg

The meeting was again held at Roy's house.

Ed brought donuts!

Ed worked on the Applelinc server trying to get the Pentium class computer to acccept a different IDE controller in hopes of adding a larger IDE hard drive. Ultimately, it did not work and the server was restored to it's original condition and brought back online.

Greg worked on getting his Uncle's old IIgs to work with his communications set up. He is still faced with the intermittant retrieval of e-mail he has been fighting for several weeks.

Ed worked on reassembling the Laser128 computer Roy has. It was interesting that Roy had the screws in so many different places. :) It was reassembled, but not tested.
Update: Roy has also not testes the Franklin that got memory soldered into it back in January.

Roy and Ed watched in horror as the Apple /// went up in a very large puff of smoke. It seems the main transformer in the power supply has gone south. Bill will be working on that between meetings.

There was a brief discussion about the location of the meetings. They used to be held at Lefler JR high school on 48th a few blocks south of 'O' street.
