DEC trellis software manual (Kansas City)

by mmcfadden＠cmh.edu

I was digging through a box of DEC manuals and I came across a DEC trellis manual. From my searches I have found that it was a DEC object oriented language. Does anybody want it? You pay USPS mailing costs. probably about $3. Mike mmcfadden(a)cmh.edu

Cleaning instructions for TK50/70

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

Happy New Year, folks. This one saw a big milestone for me as I took over management of my own mail servers. It will soon see the establishment of FTP, a maintenance node, and (possibly) a caching Usenet server. Depends on how adventurous I get. ;-) Anyway... for Pete and Jerome, who seem to be most confused about cleaning TK50/70 drives, I present the following. First and foremost, do NOT lift the head up against those springs! I'm assuming you two already know to pull the drive out of the system, and take the top cover off. What you do then is unhook the pickup leader, and reel it out of the way onto the take-up reel. Next, locate the little plastic guard directly in front of the head. It's held on with a single screw. Remove said screw, remove the guard, clean head with swabs and alcohol (should be 99% isopropyl -- don't use the 91% due to water content), and reassemble. All should now be well. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.

FT: DELQA User Manual, DHV11 Technical Manual

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

For what ever reason I've ended up with a couple of spares of these two manuals, manual #1 is the DELQA Users Manual it details everything you need to know to test, program, install, and configure the M7516 DELQA Ethernet interface. The second is the technical manual for a DHV11, the back has been creased a bit but otherwise it is in good shape and still has the tear-out maintenance card intact. I'm interested in trading these 1:1 for other DEC technical manuals. On my want list are: KA630-TM KA640-TM KA655-TM KA670-TM DEQNA-TM (this will complete my set :-) CXA16-TM (or -UG) RQDX3-TM (or -UG) TQK70-TM (or -UG) These are the ones I _know_ I can use, but I'm interested in all documentation. --Chuck

UCSD P System (was: Why is it that ...

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

From: Jim Battle <frustum(a)pacbell.net> >For those not wanting to chase the link, it says: > > Filer: G, S, N, L, R, C, T, D, Q [1.1] > >Don't you remember? This was the security mechanism. Must have been the apple {likely ti99 too} version without the 80col card. On a S100 Z80 crage using an H19 it was far better. I had the chance to compare the two and UCSD was marginal with 40 char, somewhat better at 64 and seemed like a different animal with 80 (or more) col. Allison

Original Apple I on TV

by spectre＠stockholm.ptloma.edu

This morning the History Channel covered the Apple I in their History's Lost And Found (it was on at noon Pacific time). Not sure when it will be rebroadcast, but keep an eye out. By the way, if you want the original Apple I prototype, you'll have to bust into the LO*OP Centre in Palo Alto. >;-) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * ckaiser(a)stockholm.ptloma.edu -- I am Dyslexic of Brog.

It's such a long time since I looked inside a TK<anything> that I can't remember how to do this -- so I'd be interested too. BTW, does a standard DLT cleaning tape work in a TK50/70? I can borrow one from work. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Cleaning Head on TK70/TK50

by jhfine＠idirect.com

Hey - my first e-mail of the new millennium - somehow it seems no different. Happy New Year EVERYONE. May this year, decade, century and millennium bring us all what is truly best for the development of all lives on this planet. I have been using a TK70 for about 6 months and yesterday, it gave up. The error is that it will not read or write, so I tend to assume that the head must be cleaned. Of course, it could be an electronic circuit, but the symptoms (a slow deterioration over about 3 tapes) suggest otherwise. Plus, I have the isopropyl cleaning fluid and a stock of cleaning swabs. However, having never done this before, I don't know how to achieve access to the head and if there are other parts to clean as well. The head is held down by two springs which allow the head to be gently raised. But only so far. Will it stretch the springs too much to lift the head high enough to be cleaned - or should the springs be detached first and how might that be done? Are there any other questions that I should be asking - that someone who has done this before knows about because they found out after the fact? Thank you in advance for any help. I assume that the procedure for a TK50 (of which I also have one) is about the same, but if not, please indicate if there are any differences between a TK50 and a TK70 in regard to cleaning the head or anything else that a user would want to be aware of. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine
