OK... where can I get the Atari clones?
It's hard to believe that they're's anyone more emotional than a Mac
fanatic... anyway... please give me more info. Also, how much will it cost
me?
Ciao,

If anyone's using the classic Emulex serial boards in a QBus or Unibus

I have several Emulex CP34 and the older CP11/12 16 port
async panels that connected to various controller cards
emulating DH11/DHV11/DMF32 (CS11/CS04/?)
These were daisychained to 64 (or for the dmf32, 128)
ports with a single 34 wire ribbon cable from the controller
card.
If you have such a controller card and want more ports
speak quickly or the dumpster gets them

Does any one have a copy of a repair manual for the Tandon/IBM 5-1/4" drives
in the original IBM PC? The model# is Tandon TM1000-2A.
I seem to have a short on one of the power supply lines, so I'm looking
tor a diagnostics tree.
Thanks!

Now I've heard of Apple II GS, but no C-64GS.

Nope. it'll run on a perfectly stock C-64.

With the drive connected to a PC power supply, the PS won't give a
PwrGood signal; removing the drive's power connector enables the machine to
boot.
I think that the problem is on the motor control board; it looks like a
repair may have been done on it before.

I picked up a couple of IBM circuit cards today for ~$1.50.
The first is about 3.5" x 4.5", has 2 24 pin connectors, 5 of the IBM
square metal IC cans and many other components. It has id numbers:
75114 4B01536A1590 VCC
The other is 7" x 4.5", has four 24 pin connectors, 6 larger metal IC
cans , 9 DIP chips and misc components, it is marked
4161595A2828 VCC13607010
Does anyone know what these do and what system they are from and their
approcimate age ?
They came in nifty plastic "conductive containers" marked IBM with small
windows allowing you to see what is inside.
If nothing else they are great examples of IBM technology.

I don't have a Sun keyboard or mouse, so what are the
terminal-equivalent keys for L1?
I've tried the "b sd(0,0,0)" command from the montior in DIAG mode, but
it complains that the device is not present. I don't have a SCSI terminator
on the end of the chain, so that may be an issue (the shoebox did not come
with one; I ordered one :-)).
>>I don't recall exactly how to set the default boot device. Once you
have something bootable on the disk, you want to set the default
boot device to "sd(0,0,0)". This setting goes in the EEPROM, only
I don't remember exactly what locations to use. If you install
SunOS 4.1.1 there will be an "eeprom" command that will help you
to not remember too.<<
I figured this one out. I've set the EEPROM for polling. I don't even
know what system is on the hard drive, though.
