Does anyone have a technical / service manual for a Stag PP39 Eprom
Programmer ?
I have tried Stag but they were very unhelpful. Any info would be greatly
received
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
My space has undergone some sudden compression and I need to let go some of
the things I don't use in my collection. One of the things on that list is
a Kennedy 9400 vacuum column 9-track tape drive. It worked when it was
decommissioned however in storage the glass cover plates in the vacuum
columns have slid down a bit making them no longer air tight. A heat gun to
loosen the adhesive and readjust these should make it right as rain again.
It is in a rack (DEC corporate type, not an H960) and its in Sunnyvale CA.
If you're interested in it let me know. It was, in its day, the Cadillac of
tape drives.

I picked up a Commodore 386 laptop without a power adapter. A nicely
designed little box except for the !#%$%^^$ proprietory adapter connection.
It's like a Mac 8-pin minisub mounted upside down. Anyone know the
pinouts for this ? Amazingly little info on these boxes (286/386)on the net.
Like many LTs it is 16v with a 12v battery. 3 of the pins are tied to ground
and one seems to go to the battery. Anything similiar on the Amiga ?

Hi folks,
I'm slightly happy in that I got my paws on the above machine today,
complete with a CD, MacinStore hard drive and Magneto-Optical drive. What
I'm not slightly happy about is that I discovered later on that because the
SCSI on the IIfx is 3 times quicker than the SCSI on other MacIIs I need the
special 'black' terminator to make it all work. I remember the terminator
being in a box of cables but because I didn't know it was necessary I didn't
pick it up and the chances of it being there next week are slim.
Begging time - anyone got a spare? :)
Also, I picked up another Sanyo MBC555 just to get the RGB monitor -
Sellam's mentioned (with just a hint of irony :) that the MBC is one of this
list's 'favourite' machines so I take it that it's not well liked here? If
so why not?
cheers!

Ah, I've got one of those ex-RS/6000 Toshibas. I have the opposite problem
-- it won't work on anything except an RS6000! It has custom firmware.

some sort of bootable tape from the image files. Has anyone here
done this? If not, has anyone here created a bootable tape from a
working RT running AIX?

Are you talking about the 6157 tape drive? I've heard that is the only drive
that the RT will work with. I have both 6157 and RT, but no interface card
for it yet.

Wow...that brings back memories.
Anyone else use X10 on a BellTech BLIT card under System V/386? Quirky
Intel video processor & all. I still see people using the cheapo BellTech
HUB6 cards. How many have the 8530s unsoldered and replaced with 16550s...
Anyone else use Dell System VR4/386? That was a really nice distro. Much
nicer than Everex, AT&T, Microport, et. al. Yes kids...there was time when
*nix on the i386 wasn't free.

I seem to recall PC/IX. Didn't Venix run on them as well? Anyone else
remeber Venix?

Ack. No. I'm sure they are in the same place all of the other
technicalliny interesting, ultimately quirky, underpowered, overpriced &
poorly marketed hardware is.
