a late hello.
Kay Martinen
I am reading here for a while and made some postings. But now i think i had to
say a little bit about me and my relation to this group.
So "Hello, i am the new one here" :-)
I am a native german (like Don Peter) an i live in Northern Germany on an Island
called Amrum (In the Northsea). If my written-english is bad and unclear to
read, please don't shake your screen :) Ask me! And i'm Sorry for that, i had no
chance to speak or write in the last years to became practice. I only read
Computer-related Technical Documentations if i can't find a german-written.
I am 46 Years old and i am an Electrician. Since 1982 i am using computers. The
first one was an 6502-based Single-board System that i have to solder together
at first. Followed by an CBM VIC-20, an PC-128 and then an AT-02 and many
self-builded PCs.
I am owning only a few old IBM-Pieces. These are:
an PS/2 Model 80 (8580-X21 S/N 55-MRB72) with Keyboard (M-Series?) and an old
Colour VGA Monitor. It has an 386DX25, 3Com NIC and some other cards. For this
Thanks to Don Peter who helped me a lot to set it in a useful state.
an old IBM AT-02 with am i286 6 or 8 MHz and an old IBM-Keyboard (with
functionkeys vertically on the left Side) a CGA-Adapter and Monitor,
MFM-Controller with ST-251 20MB drive (defective). Actually packed and stored.
This was my first Personal-Computer at all. And it was nice, but loud and huge.
:-) But no MCA, no PS/2.
an B/W-Laserprinter IBM 4029-10 that lost the backward feeder for envelopes and
needs tiny little spare-parts where the printed paper comes out. Sometimes the
sheets are folded at one corner. Sometimes not. And it prints a big horizontal
line in the middle of each page. It is usable for printing manual-pages but not
for Letters or so.
An Old IBM Monitor probably for an PS/1. Now defective but a year ago it worked
fine.
I found this group and asked Peter some things. Thereby i found out that i still
knew the mcamafia-pages that helped my a few years ago to make a ref-disk for my
PS/2. Now the machine has a working PSU (the old one died silently) and with
luck it will be installed with OS/2 Warp 3 in a few days so that i can use it as
a LAN-Workstation.
In '91-92 i am using DOS & OS/2 followed by Linux and formed a 'networked'
Fidonet-BBS. The first-one here. Build with two old Disc-IPL Clients, an OS/2
2.1 System and a Peer-Server under DOS/Lant. later Warp3/4
This group is interesting to me because i am still interested in IBMs PS/2, OS/2
and other older Equipment.
Greetings.
Kay
Cheers

As far as your written English - "das ist sehr gut" pretty much sums
it up - I know native Americans that can't even speak or write their
own language correctly let alone do the same (especially as well as
you do) in a totally unrelated language.
Willkommen zur�ck (no I am not fluent in Deutsch, just what I can
remember from long ago when my Munich born grandmother was around - I
remember the "bad" words though hahaaha)
