[CCTECH] Seagate SMD disk infoe needed

by jkunz＠unixag-kl.fh-kl.de

Hi. I have a 1GB 5,25" SMD disk from Seagate. It is a ST-41097J or ST-41201J. I didn't identify it yet exactely. All I found is the quick spec: st41097j.txt st41201j.txt, but I need the full manual with a description of the DIP switches and the pinout of the power connector. Has anyone this information? This disk and my QD33 would be a really nice disk sub system for my portable VAX / PDP11 project.... -- tsch??, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/ _______________________________________________ cctech mailing list cctech(a)classiccmp.org http://www.classiccmp.org/mailman/listinfo/cctech

OT question and On-T info for the SGI crowd

by doc＠mdrconsult.com

I think all the pertinent hardware is really a couple of years too young, but hey. First the on-topic. Re: the recent thread about the ultra-weird PI SIMMs, I did find some 2M modules, and a shop here will do the chip conversion to 8M. With the caveat that he has no way to test the finished product, and offers no guarantee at all. He has worked on RAM for me in the past with very satisfactory results. It's M.C. Howard, here in Austin, they have a toll-free number listed on their website - http://www.mchoward.com - and the solder-wizard's name is Mel. They've been around for a very long time. Now the off-topic. I'm going to be doing some testing of a Challenge S, and will need to do it from a serial console, as it has no graphics option. The serial port's an RS422 just like a Mac, right? So a Mac printer cable from the Challenge to the Indigo2 serial port should work? I suppose I could figure out which one of my DE9-RS422 adapters isn't a null, chain that to a DE9-MMJ and just use the VT420, but that sounds sort of screwy, and not nearly as fun. Doc

Need an EDAC connector

by foo＠siconic.com

I need an EDAC connector for the DEC CR-11 (Documation M200) punch card reader I am trying to interface. This is 1-5/8" wide by 3/4" high. It has 37 conductors and is of the female persuasion. I need it's male counterpart to breed it. Does anyone have a spare/know of a source?

1541 cables (Was: VIC-20 stuff available)

by csmith＠amdocs.com

> -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Erlacher [mailto:edick@idcomm.com] > DIN-5 cable - ~1 meter > DIN-5 cable - ~3 meter (home-made) This reminds me -- isn't standard MIDI also a DIN-5? Is it the same plug? If so, will the cables work? I might have to test this out.

Recent score: CBM 8032

by jplist＠globe.net.nz

Greetings all, Picked up a CBM 8032 today, amongst other good stuff a little more recently produced. I've plugged in and attempted to power it up, but I get zip... Bad power supply I guess? Anyone got any experience with these units, and/or fixing them? My favourite feature so far: The keyboard/monitor tips up and backwards and there is a prop rod to hold the upper chassis up, just like a hood prop :) JP

AMD 2901 Microcode Meta-Assembler

by aek＠spies.com

> There was supposed to be an AMD assmebler for these chips. There was an entire CP/M based development system called the amsys/29 that AMD sold, which included AMDASM. I just scanned in the docs, and will be up on www.spies.com/aek/pdf/amd/2900 in a few days.

1541 cables (Was: VIC-20 stuff available)

I might try making some drive cables up -- I have three 1541 drives (I think three...) setting in the basement doing nothing. A shame when they could be attached to a commodore which is also doing nothing at the moment ;) Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '
