Did you ever get the Pin Out Diagram for the VT220 Serial Connection Port?
I am currently in the same boat that you were, and can find little or no
references anywhere?

I am in north central CT. Takes me about 1:15 to get to Tanglewood. If this is your first time, bring a cooler ! You will be parking a long way from your car. Lawn seating effectivity is based on your neighbors, and in this weather may not be so great. Shade is limited.
I'm having some problems getting my RL02 drive to play nice with my RLV12
in my VAXstation 3200. I've got the drive connected to the controller
with a piece of 40pin ribbon cable from an IDE drive, since I have no
'offical' cable to connect the two (or a cab kit for the controller). The
drive is set to ID 3, because I don't have a '0' Ready light cover. Also,
I don't have a terminator to use.
Right now, the drive has its 'FAULT' light on, including when the VAX is
powered up and at its monitor. A 'SHOW QBUS' shows the adaptor at address
774400 (I think), and a 'SHOW RLV12' shows no devices attached to the
controller.
Previously, when I connected a clock signal to the drive's clock in, which
was anywhere near 4.2MHz, the fault light would go off. Now, I can't get
the light to go off at all, and I'm suspecting the controller. This cable
is the second one I've tried, and both cables have had all 40pins going
straight through. I also have tried reversing the cable to ensure I had
pin 1 the same on both ends, to no avail (could that have nuked the
interface on either the controller or drive?).
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hello, all:
Does anyone have a spare copy of Adobe Acrobat 4 (full) lying around
that they don't need? I have Acrobat 3 and apparently the 5.0 upgrade that I
bought and opened will only upgrade 4.0.
Please contact me off-list. Thanks.

Here's someone looking to sell some systems. If interested
in any of them, reply directly to him.

Hope this is not a duplicate. The first one did not show up.
I have just obtained a Cromemco 64KZ board. This has 64K of RAM and
I'd like to test this out this weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have
any documentation.
There are 4 banks of RAM (16K x 8) Each bank is labeled "page0",
"page1", "page2" and "page3". There are also 3 8-pin dip switches:
I have a couple of photos at:
http://www.msdsite.com/vcomp/cromemco/photos.html
Since this is a 64K board and since there is other memory in my
system. I'm hoping this allows some sort of bank switching. But
without docs, I don't know how to use it.
I assume the Bank A/B allow setting which bank a particular 16K might
reside but am not sure. And the address lines of A15, A14 are a
mystery.
Is there a way to switch banks by writing to an I/O port? Location?
Can any of you help with an explanation how this works and how I might
use the switches?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
>Anyone ever heard of a now-defunct drive maker called Kalok
Yup, I have one of their Hard-Card drives. The hard drive on an ISA card
things. I don't think mine works anymore, but it might be a driver issue.
I have one by them, and one by Quantum I think (an actual "Hard-Card"
brand, which I think I tracked to Quantum at one point), and neither
appear to work for me right now, but I know I don't have device drivers
for either, so that might be the only issue.

I can't say who was THE first, but I know Drive Savers was very early in
the game. I would assume there were a few companies before them, probably
some that carried over from recovering data on floppies, tapes, and other
pre hard drive storage media.
