Can someone tell me what RS6000 this planar is from?
FRU 31G9751 p/n 32G1924
I don't find anything with Google and nothing in the "Diagnostic
Information for Micro Channel Bus Systems" and nothing in the "RS/6000
Systems Handbook 2000 Edition". Any other PDF that I should download
>from IBM?

Hi, just got two KDA50 sets off ePay for a reasonable price.
Very calm auction that was. Since I only have one Q-22 bus
machine, I might have one set to trade against a UDA50. Or
may be I should get a side-table style VAX around it. Although
I don't like the high market price for those. BTW: how come
that last year I payed $100 for an RF72 drive just last year
when they now go for $10? I now have 5 DSSI drives and only
one place in a cabinet to run the nicely. I guess it's
about time to get a sidetable-style enclosure or a 4000 for
those.
cheers,
-Gunther

I have a DSD440 dual RX02 unit, and the first drive abruptly quit.
The disk access LED just flashes. When you first power it on, you can
hear a slight clicking noise when it first starts spinning. It does spin
though. Right after this noise, the LED starts flashing, and the drive
won't function. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong and
what I can do about it?
Also, from the ODT prompt on my 11/23, how do you get it to boot
>from the other (DY1) RX02?
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm sorting through all my computer supplies, getting ready to move into
a house. I haven't actually bought a house yet, but I'm looking.
I've got this huge MTI narrow SCSI case that I'd like to sell. It'll
hold 4 full height drives. Each drive fits into a steel box that is
removable from the main tower. One box is an open face making it
perfect for a cd-rom. I did have some troubles with certain drives not
liking certain positions in the tower. I'm not sure if it was the
drives, the case, or what. After I got everything arranged, it worked
fine. Also the scsi select switch needs to be replaced as one bay is
stuck on ID#3. This thing is built like a tank, and I love the way it
looks but I just don't use it anymore. I'd like to get $50 for it. It
will need to be picked up, However.
I do need to point out, that this case can not be easily converted to
wide scsi, due to the removable steel boxes the drives fit into. No
drives included, but I do have a few cables and a terminator or two that
can go with it.
I'm located in Southwest Michigan. Email me for a more complete
location, or for answers to you questions.

I agree completely -- in principal, of course, that said, most
PC-users shouldn't replace soldered in chips :)

As long as the replacement chip is compatible, sure, it really
is generally that easy, but there are certainly cases where I
wouldn't normally try it. For instance, a board with several
layers, which has the chip "integrated" onto the top. Even
then, if you're desperate enough, you might be able to cut a
few pins and work that way.
Anyway, the point is that (and you've made this point before)
replacing things is becoming much less simple.
I've seen some things on some boards which I would not consider
"replicable," since my definition in this context would include
"without robotic assistance, or a clean-room."

Ford: zipper accidents

Humm... I might just do that.
The fuser looks to be in great shape (clean, nothing looks burnt or
corroded) other than the main roller. The old wiping pad that was in
there had been pressed pretty flat, and a bit of the plastic had been
touching the fuser roller... as a result, there is a scratch that runs
around the roller. The coating is now starting to peel off, and although
it is working fine right now, I know it is only a matter of time before
it stops fusing the toner correctly, and starts leaving a stripe of
flaked toner.
When that time comes... I will look into the cost of a new roller vs a
whole new assembly. (I seem to recall having replaced the fuser on my
IINT, and I think the whole assembly was only about $50... but I might be
thinking of the wrong printer)
I fully plan on keeping this HP running for some time. My IINT has been
an absolute work horse for years, so I know the SX engine is a good one,
easy to work with, can get parts fairly cheap and easily... and if cared
for, will just keep on going. So I don't mind spending repair money as
needed with it (unlike the Panasonic KX-P4420 that I am dumping rather
than spend $200 to replace consumable parts... the Panasonic is an Ok
printer, but nothing great, and parts are hard to get, and are expensive)

Personally, I'd be pretty worried about ANYONE with that much power
who doesn't Get Some with some degree of regularity.
I can see it now: "Welcome to CNN. Six countries were wiped off the
map by US nuclear missiles this afternoon because the President hadn't
Gotten Any in fifteen years. Leaders from nearly thirty countries are
busily putting young nubiles on airplanes bound for Washington in
hopes that this will ensure their countries' safety from the Wrath of
the Horny President."

I get a mailing from Paralan, a reseller of these adapters,
at least monthly (just a post card, actually). Plan on spending
US$300 for a new one...
