Hello all, To answer the replies so far.... 1) There is a small black connector labeled "Do no remove when power is on" or something to that effect. I does indeed cover a card-edge style connector. I did remove it, power OFF, and I didn't recall it had anything conductive inside. It just looked like a plastic plug. I'll have to look again, when I go home this evening... 2) I did try the composite video output. Nothing there, either. 3) As I stated before, there was no light from the CRT at all, after taking the cover off and powering up. I will perform the ohmmeter test suggested by Dave McGuire tonight. - As for the composite video connector... Does anyone know if there is any magic keystroke or other setting to enable this? Perhaps if the internal monitor is dead, I can still use an external one...

Osborne One -- No video.

It does provide a pinout for the My Osborne came with a folder (hand-)labelled "Field Service Manual" full of odds and ends ... including a bunch of schematics. At least two of the schematics have traces labelled VIDEO so I assume that for once I'm lucky and I actually have a reasonable amount of info about one of my machines :-) I can scan the schematics assuming a) someone wants them and b) someone has somewhere I can ftp them two.

Trying to find correct 8" disk drive

by vcf＠siconic.com

Can someone tell me the specs on this 8" drive? Magnetic Peripherals Inc. (a subsidiary of Control Data Corp., CDC) Equipment Identification Number: BR8A5R Part Number: 75744087 Series Code: 09 Ideally, I need to know what its equivalents are. I'm sure it's a pretty standard DSDD 8" drive but I need to know for sure before I go off on a wild goose chase. Thanks!!

Um, I hope you got RAM with those systems. If not unless they're 5/110's or 5/170's you're probably better off sticking them on eBay and putting the money towards a Sparc 10 or 20. Simply put Sparc 5 RAM costs and arm and a leg unless you get lucky! Only RAM I've found that's worse is AlphaStation 500/333 RAM (I've got both a Sparc 5/70, and a AS500/333). Zane

There is a Vax 11/780 in need of rescue in Richardson,Tx 75081. Very large but could be a "vaxbar project for someone", I saw on ebay where some boards from a 11/785 went for $100.00 we would like to recover some of our costs for picking it up,if possible. I also still have the 3/470 with mass storage unit still available. If you know anyone interested in these units please have them email me for contact information.

Light Pens ...

Are you saying none of these designs > work properly? Well, mine ended up having more in it than the one on p.369 (which has just a Sweet Spot phototransistor mounted in the barrel) - it had a transistor and bias resistor in there too, along with a CMOS chip to make a touch-sensitive switch. I can't remember what the Sweet Spot part number in the AUG is (schmitt or plain) so I can't tell you if that's the one I used. I bought both types, and one other photodiode (or phototransistor?) >from the RS cat. I see that page also refers to a fudge factor to be subtracted from the register contents -- I remember having to do that too. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
