Wettroth E: jwet at mindspring.com M: (919) 349-9875 H: (984) 329-5420 From: TriEmbed On Behalf Of Rodney Radford via TriEmbed Sent: Friday, June 30, 2023 11:35 PM To: TriEmbed Discussion Subject: [TriEmbed] Fwd: Don Lancaster has passed away ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: 'Roy Bragg' via S100Computers > Date: Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 5:29?PM Subject: Don Lancaster has passed away To: S100Computers > Don Lancaster, a highly-revered figure in the microcomputer industry for the past six decades, peacefully passed away at age 83 on June 7, 2023, in Mesa, Arizona. Don?s contributions to the world of microcomputers were exceptional by any measure. Probably his most notable early achievement was the creation of the ?TV Typewriter,? a revolutionary device that utilized transistor-transistor logic (TTL) to display text on a TV screen. The TV Typewriter first appeared in the September 1973 issue of Radio Electronics. This creation became the basis and the title for one of his earliest published books. The prototype of this groundbreaking precursor to the modern computer keyboard is showcased at the Computer History Museum. Don also holds a patent for one of the original Apple parts he developed as well as having had a hand in the design and manufacture of the Apple I keyboard, he was widely recognized as a pioneer in the technology field. His dedication to the computing and electronics industry was evident in his extensive body of work. Don authored well over 2,200 technical papers and 44 books covering a wide-range of topics related to computers and electronics, firmly solidifying his reputation as an extremely knowledgeable and prolific writer. His insightful contributions could also be found in the pages of leading electronics magazines of the 1960s through to the 2000s. His first article appeared in the April 1963 issue of Electronics World. He also was the author behind the wildly popular Hardware Hacker series in Radio-Electronics Magazine from January 1988 until June 1995. As an instructor at Eastern Arizona College, Don embraced his role as a teacher and mentor, imparting his extensive expertise in electronic microprocessing to students. Don?s commitment to knowledge dissemination extended beyond traditional channels. As the owner and operator of Synergetics and Synergetic Publishing, Don and his wife produced educational videos and actively engaged with his audience as a blogger ? sharing his insights and fostering a sense of community. One of his notable accomplishments was the creation of his website, Guru?s Lair Resources (www.tinaja.com ), which served as a comprehensive repository of computer-related information. Visitors to the site could also access his seemingly endless personal research on the fascinating hanging canals of the Pinale?o Mountains, explore his extensive book collection, and discover details about numerous Gila Valley Day Hikes ? a topic close to his heart. Don received an Electrical Engineering degree at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania before earning a Master?s degree in Engineering from Arizona State University while working at Goodyear Aerospace Corp. Don?s intellectual curiosity even led him to nearly complete a second Master?s degree in Archaeology at ASU, highlighting his diverse interests. Don?s contributions to the Apple community extended beyond his technical accomplishments. Among his 44 books are the Apple II-centric Assembly Language Cookbook volumes, as well as AppleWriter-in-Depth, released in 1984 by A.P.P.L.E. These and other contributions over the years to the community will be forever cherished. Left to honor Don?s memory are his beloved wife and daughter, cherished grandchildren, and his sister and brother. Their loss is shared by the microcomputer industry and the community that esteemed Don for his extensive expertise, informative writings, unwavering passion, and dedication to the industry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "S100Computers" group.

If you follow the link check out the lower right corner: their terms were even more amazing than their prices. Best selection of factory floor sweepings in the east at the time. They're long gone but I'm still nostalgic about them and All Electronics was certainly an outfit in the same vein. I loved the stuff from All. Now most folks have very easy access to cheap stuff as well as parts with provenance online. With my little biz I was careful to keep the floor sweepings strictly segregated from the parts I could trust. But I cannot recall more than one or two episodes of untraceable parts failing in the past several years. The same could not be said for the Poly Paks parts. Many of them were very obviously seconds and testing them before soldering if possible was important. For instance noticing your linear regulator is smoking hot while trying to power a single 7400 logic chip. Sometimes the part of the package just above the IC would go funny and you could actually see the magic smoke come out. :-) Pete On 7/14/23 22:26, Scott Hall via TriEmbed wrote: > I've bought from a lot over the years... > https://www.allelectronics.com/ > > -- > Scott G.

The twist pitch time the length should be big enough to make it so fraction twist won't matter.? You're canceling induction and you want the same ins as outs, so they'll cancel each other.? If your run is 12 inches and you have 1 twist per inch, a missing twist would be 8% of total or 21.5 dB of reduction.? With 3 per inch you'd have <3%, or about 30 dB.? The is in theory.? You'd like to have a bit higher pitch since it will give you better "local" rejection.? Twisting and shielding are the hot setup, magnetic and electrostatic.? A few per inch is the kind of number or you pick up Capacitance.? Cat6 is 2 per cm or 5 per inch.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Mauricio Tavares via TriEmbed Date: 7/26/23 8:32 AM (GMT-05:00) To: TriEmbed Discussion Subject: [TriEmbed] Wire twist rate If I am pulling signal off a garden-variety variable reluctancesensor, how much flexibility do I have with the wire twist ratio?_______________________________________________Triangle, NC Embedded Interest Group mailing listTo post message: TriEmbed at triembed.orgList info: http://mail.triembed.org/mailman/listinfo/triembed_triembed.orgTriEmbed web site: https://TriEmbed.orgTo unsubscribe, click link and send a blank message: mailto:unsubscribe-TriEmbed at bitser.net?subject=unsubscribeSearchable email archive available at https://www.mail-archive.com/triembed at triembed.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
