Epson HX-20, TRS-80 Model 100 Capacitor Kits
Since I have at least four Model 100 and HX-20s, I've decided to just replace all the aluminum electrolytics before repair becomes much more difficult. So far, I see the project as fairly easy depending on how bad the corrosion from the leaking caps is. Is anyone interested in buying a kit or two of the capacitors? I'm guessing buying the parts from DigiKey at low quantity prices will result in about $3.50 or so for the bag of about 13 capacitors. US postage will probably run a couple of dollars or so, but I can also bring them with me to VCFMW. I'll be ordering what I need unless I hear others might want the kits as well. On a similar topic, has anyone given up on cleaning out the corroded plated-Thru-Holes, and just soldered on some SMD caps? If so, how did it work out? Finally, just some observations on the corrosion. I finally found some information about the corrosion caused by leaking aluminum caps. It sounds like the leaking fluid, besides possibly damaging the copper traces, also does something to the solder in the PTH such that a soldering iron won't melt the solder. Right now, the solder doesn't want to melt so I will use a pin vise and about a number 62 drill or so to hand drill out the PTH solder.

Looking for Targa 1.0 drivers
I have some old Targa 1.0 video boards (dating back to their AT&T days) but no driver diskettes. Does anyone happen to have some? I think they should work with Targa 16 drivers.

I especially like the description of the UMN Shepherd Labs building having no windows, placed directly beneath a photo of the building with around 150 windows visible.

> I am looking for a manual for the original NEC Multisync monitor. Mine is JC-1402 and the "User's Manual" I have is titled "MultiSync 3D". It mentions model JC-1404 but it all looks the same as mine. Is there anything in particular you need to know - or would you like a scan? Richard Sheppard
