Looking for CP/M-86 for Compudata Tulip System I

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Freek, Een hele oude vriend van me, die ik al zeker 15 jaar niet heb gezien, had er een. Die mensen verzamelden ook vanalles, en ze waren heel zuinig op de spullen. Ze zouden die machine plus aanverwanten nog best eens kunnen hebben. Via telefoonboek of 0800-8008 zou je hun telnr kunnen achterhalen; ik weet het niet meer: Roeland & Maarten Tuk Schoonoord [ik meen] 92 Voorhout, ZH Groets, Fred

HP 7980S scsi 9-track

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Thanks to all who responded, both on-list and off-list. Summary: While READING, the 7980S will always default to whatever it finds on the tape currently loaded. If no format can be found (? bulk- erased tape?) it will use the setting below. While WRITING, it will use the desity as set with the CONF 46 setting. So, to fix my problem I had to set CONF46 to 1600, rather than 6250, and it worked. :) Cheers, Fred

I do know that the KA62B was essentially a souped up KA62A, so the -YA designator seems entirely plausible. Antonio

HP 7980S scsi 9-track

It's less than certain. The supported densities are determined by the installed board set. There are many 88780s out there that only do 1600 and 6250. Fewer that do 800 too. I have yet to run across one that only does 1600 but it's a possible configuration; HP sold that (w/HP-IB interface) as the 7979A. For 7980s, 1600 and 6250 are standard and 800 is an option. 7980A is HP-IB, 7980S is SCSI (single-ended). There's also an "XC" option which does in-the-drive compression on 6250BPI tapes; I think this option does not coexist with the 800BPI option. BTW, a couple months ago Sun had a version of their service manual for the 88780 up at: http://sunsolve.sun.com/data/800/800-3447/pdf/doc.pdf It's missing the figures though. > Bear in mind that you'll need some fairly specialized (and > expensive -- in the $300 region) software if you want to use > that drive on any sort of PC. Last time I noticed, FreeBSD and Linux were able to make use of a SCSI interface with an attached 88780. -Frank McConnell

5150 & 720 KB FD

by robert_little_2000＠yahoo.com

Think I found the problems.... Machine #2 (the one I'm rebuilding) had its DIP's set for a single drive. After correcting that, still failed to work, so decided to check out the 720 itself... AH HA! Of course it wouldn't work. It was a dead drive. As for the purist out there who shudder at the thought of adding later components to such a classic, I should mention that I'm an astronomer. I don't have the systems as collectibles, I use them. Yup, that's right... when you're on a budget, you have to make everything work. This ol' PC is basically just going to serve as a real time clock. With CGA monitors they are good for that... Better that then have it go to the landfill (as is too often the case...)

Digital Decserver 700-16 info requested

by doug_jackson＠citadel.com.au

Hi, I am the proud owner of 3 of these old (1991) terminal servers. DSRVW-YC. A01 Unfortunately, I have absoloutly no doco. I have been able to determine that the device is trying to TFTP a configuration file of some type. But I can not find any doco since Compaq desimated the Digital support sites. I believe that their logic was "is this PC related?" no - flush it. Does anybody on the list either (1) know anything or (2) know anybody who would know anything, about these boxes. I would *really* like to use one to put a couple of modems onto to use as a dial in service for my organisation. regards, Doug Jackson Director, Managed Security Services Citadel Securix +61 (0)2 6290 9011 (Ph) +61 (0)2 6262 6152 (Fax) +61 (0)414 986 878 (Mobile) Web: <www.citadel.com.au> Offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Hong Kong, Boston CAUTION - The information in this message may be of a privileged or confidential nature intended only for the use of the addressee or someone authorised to receive the addressee's e-mail.
