heh... actually, Adolph Coors spun-off its non-brewery assets in 1992
into ACX Technologies, and most recently, CoorsTek (formerly Coors
Ceramics) was spun-off into a wholly separate company on Jan 1, 2000.

There's a rather small community of chip collectors.
However, there are a few collectors who have been
collecting for over 10 years now who have put togather
pretty vast collections of literally thousands of chips.
These collectors have pretty much seen everything.
Its pretty rare now that something shows up that these
collectors have never seen before and the fact that
they have never seen it, by definiton makes it rare.
It would be the same as if suddenly someone found
two Intelec bit slice 3002 computers dated 1975 in a closet or something.
Sure, there might could be more, but if they were common, you guys would
have already seen one.
As far as the color, chip collectors refer to that color
chip as "purple". If you look at it next to a normal
"gray" CerDIP, you can see the difference. Besides,
it would not have mattered had it been black. The fact
is, it's not the white/gold color of a normal Intel
C8080A. The printing on the chip is also somewhat different. My guess is
it's a late run C8080A that was
put in the same package they used for some of the later
C8085AH's.

All three tape drives (both 9-trackers and the Giagstore) have been spoken for. My thanks to all those who mailed in about them, and to the list participants for bearing with my ad(s).

I think I saw someone offer you the service manual. If not, contact me
off-line for a copy (pdf).
In short, on the underside of the front bezel are two tabs. You need to use
a large flat screwdriver, in a twistint motion, to release them. At that
point, the whole front should come off.
The hard drive is behind a shield under the floppy drive. IIRC, you need to
remove one screw to remove the shield. The drive is on a sled with a release
tab.

True for SCSI drives. Oddly enough, Apple's Drive Setup will deal with
pretty much any IDE drive.

The problem is, that in the 630 series, the only internal connectors to the
SCSI chain are in the CD-ROM bay. Better to stay with IDE drives internally
(nothing to stop you from an external SCSI drive).

You're limited to PIO mode 3 (max). Also, Western Digital drives over about
1.2GB don't seem to work correctly. Mine has a 3GB Seagate drive, though it
came to me with a 600mb WD drive and I briefly installed a 500mb Quantum.
The big thing you need is a copy of Drive Setup.

Hmm... I think that's a matter of perspective. MacOS and a browser will fit
well enough. Just not a lot of room left for downloads, etc.

Hi,
I have a big pile of DEC BC16D-25 cable. It has one Centronics
like connector on each end. The connectors have 36 pins. I have
absolutely no clue what these cables are for. They came with
my recent VAX treck that included a VAX6000 cluster and a
DEC Server 90.
If you know what this cable is used for or if you want it,
please let me know. I have at least one or 2 dozen of those.
If nobody wants it I'll probably have to throw it out.
regards
-Gunther
