Anybody know where I can pick up a DEC RRD42 scsi cd-rom drive, a
TKZ30 tape cartridge drive, and a few TK50 tapes to go with said drive?
I may just try to resurrect this VAX and replace the two 105mb HDs with
a single 1-gig unit...
I'm also in need of a serial cable that has the funny "offset rj11" plug
on one end and a standard DB25 on the other... so any pointers will be
appreciated.

OK, I've got someone asking me if there Atari ST's are Y2k. Considering
the fact that the only Atari I've got working is a TT030 and I've not
touched it in a couple years (can't even get to it at the moment), does
anyone have any ideas on this? I don't even remember if you can set the
data on a ST. It sounds like a they've got 520's.
Somehow I don't think they're up to attempting a TOS upgrade, if you can
still get the necessary parts to accomplish that. Somehow I think the best
answer for them is to set the clock back.
On a related subject does Win95 barf if you've not bothered to set the
clock back? Who knows when I'll next bother to turn on my Win95 laptop at
work (I use it for about 5 minutes a month, if that).

Whoops, my mistake. I really meant DE9F there! (And this, over a year
after I listed this mistake as one of my own pet peeves!)

The connector is called (by DEC) a "MMJ plug" and they're available
through big electronics distributors (such as http://www.digikey.com/
and http://www.mouser.com/ ).
If you don't want to spend the bucks on a bag of MMJ plugs and a MMJ
crimper, I also sell complete MMJ cable assemblies. The most popular
ones are MMJ to DB25F for connection to a terminal and MMJ to DB9F for
connection to a PC-clone's serial port. See
http://www.trailing-edge.com/www/mmj.html
for ordering information.

Subject: Upgrading Compaq Luggables
Hello,
I just happened across a forum thread that you took part in, the subject of
which was the original Compaq "Luggable." These were great machines in
their time, and can still be quite useful when appropriately upgraded.
Should you have one of these old classics laying around gathering dust, I
thought I'd mention that I have a few remaining 80386DX-16 motherboards
that are "drop-in" replacements for the original 8088 motherboard. With a
Cyrix 486DRX2 chip, it will run like a 80486DX2-32 machine. I can supply
instructions on swapping the original monitor for a monochrome VGA monitor
that bolts in with only minor modifications, along with numerous other
modifications. I'm running Win 3.1 on one of these machines to this day
(including sound).
Please contact me should you have any interest in upgrading such a machine,
and/or forward this eMail on to anyone you know who is still interested.

Maybe. More likely there are more digits, like 2116, 2114, 2115,
2100, 21MX, 21xx....
Most of the HP1000 CPUs have 21xx numbers as well. The 1000 line was,
originally, a bundle of a 2100-family computer with HP's RTE real-time
executive; eventually HP silk-screened "1000" on the front instead of
"21MX", but the actual model number of the processor (the tag on the
back) was still 21xx.
There were also the HP2000 time-shared BASIC systems, built out of
one or two 2100-family processors.
2100-family processors also found their way into all sorts of big HP
test and measurement systems in the very late 1960s and 1970s. For
example (note these URLs are *temporary*):
http://www.reanimators.org/tmp/8322.jpg - scan of a photo of an 8580B
automatic spectrum analyzer; the box at the top of the left rack is an
HP2100A.
http://www.reanimators.org/tmp/8324.jpg = scan of a drawing of an
8541A automatic network analyzer; the top of the right rack is what an
HP2116 looks like, and underneath that would appear to be a drawer, a
filler panel, a paper tape reader, and a paper tape punch.

Using a 3-pair phone cable and filing down the tab is what I use for my
*Stations. Has always worked just fine for me that way with the standard
H8571 DB25 adapters on the other end too.

Indeed, it's true. I'd even trade two-for-one to get some 16-sector packs.
Would it be worth the experiment to butcher a 12-sector pack into a 12-sector
pack and reformat it? 12 sectors = 30 degrees, 16 sectors = 22.5 degrees.
The idea would be to patch over eight of the slits on the 12 sector pack and
cut 12 new ones (by bisecting the circle several times).
I haven't disassembled an RK05 in years (the last time was in 1988 when my
boss pointed me at two pallets of drives and asked me to get two working
units out of the pile - I got four working and carted home the scrap) - the
sensor that detects the slits in the pack is optical, not hall-effect, right?
Just a thought.
