Does anyone on the list have a copy of this manual that can be copied or
scanned, or is there a scanned copy on the net somewhere already?
I have a couple of CS/80 HPIB disk drives and I am curious how they are
controlled and would like to read the CS/80 programming manual if I can find
one.
The drives I have are a 9133H which is a combo 20MB hard drive and floppy
drive unit which I have used with my HP IPC, and a 2203A which is a whopping
670MB dual disk unit which I haven't hooked up to anything yet. Was that
the biggest CS/80 HPIB drive HP ever made? Some day I'll try interfacing
one of the drives to the HP 2117F box I have if I can ever figure out how to
get it to power up.

In New Mexico, West Texas or Arizona would be best as these are heavy

Actually, if you go the the bottom of the page here...

... I don't think he is claiming that he started the use of it, he seems to
only be concluding that. He says "...but it is pretty clear from the timing
that my suggestion was the one that finally took hold..."
Of course, everyone interprets written words in different ways...

I have the opportunity to set up some ATM networking kit and I'd like to
include one of my SGI machines in the system. I'm looking for a GIO bus
ATM NIC for an Indy or Indigo2. I have a brand-new-in-box Newbridge VIVID
S-Bus ATM (OC-3, 155Mb/s) card with Solaris drivers to trade, preferably to
someone in the UK.
BTW, anyone (again, in the UK, because you'd have to collect it) want some
Newbridge ATM kit, going fairly cheap?

I have been asked if I can repair or replace a broken mouse.
It is for a CDC Cyber 910 workstation, the mouse is obviously
manufactured by Mouse Systems, its number is MSC 401162-006/E
The connection is a DE9 male connector which connects to the system
keyboard.
The problem is that the mouse was dropped and only one LED works. The
mouse allows horizontal cursor movement but not vertical.
If anyone has a replacement available or can provide additional
information please contact me off list.

Did you try a Google search? I did, after I discovered there wasn't enough
information in your message or my old Reveal manuals to be sure what I have
is what you want. The first hit for "reveal CD610" leads to this page:
http://ellingson.com/reveal/products/cdrom/
which will allow you to tell which model you really have, and download the
drivers atc.

All the commercial LocalTalk and Phonenet adaptors contain an isolating
transformer, which is carefully designed to preserve nice clean square
waves from one side of the interface to the other. Note that you can't
just use any old small transformer! There's a web page describing the
innards at
http://ground.ecn.uiowa.edu/apple2/MiscInfo/Hardware/appletalk.phonenet
It's also commonly believed that the Farallon Phonenet system using
unsheilded cable works better than Apple's own grounded shielded cable
system.
However, I have seen one DIY design that didn't use an isolating
transformer. Called CapNet, it was intended for small networks, and used
capacitors to acheive some degree of isolation. A slightly updated version
was claimed to work with printers and the like.

$20 to anyone who can find me an MS-DOS driver for a Reveal external 2X CD-ROM drive, model CD 610, FCC ID:
138-EXT-CDROMSLM
Specifics:
ISA controller card: Reveal Computer Products Inc, V1.2, FCC ID: 138-MMCD861
CD-ROM drive: Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries Ltd, model CD-563-B, FCC ID: IUO9TB008CRB
DIP switch information for switch bank SW1 on the controller card would also be useful.
BTW, I'm not really offering $20... just gratitude. But that's priceless, right? ;)
And if anyone's wondering why I'd want to use such an old peripheral, it's because it's going on a
dedicated network server I'm setting up (FTP, HTTP, SMTP, NAT, Socks5, and DHCP). The server only needs a
CD-ROM for two things:
#1, installing the operating system (Win32. Don't laugh. I'm no UNIX pro) and software distributed by CD
(this is a one-time thing).
#2, providing an "online CD of the week" available for download by FTP and HTTP (the bottleneck will be in
the server's internet connection bandwidth anyways, not the CD-ROM speed)

I do have some docs. The stuff I have is mostly hardware oriented; it
talks about the bus protocol more than the registers and console firmware
implementation, which is what you would be interested in. However, I'm
in the process of moving, so I'm not sure what box it would be in. I also
don't know what the NetBSD group's attitude toward underground document
shipments is; I acquired the stuff under NDA and was probably supposed to
destroy it when the project was over.
If someone had a good way to anonymously donate sensitive documents to
the NetBSD project, I might have several they would be interested in.
Or perhaps not. It may be the case that I could put my hands on a copy
of the MSCP spec, for instance. Or maybe I just talk big and don't actually
have that sort of stuff lying around. I definitely may or may not have a
copy of the SOC CPU spec, which could (or could not) be interesting to the
4000/VLC crowd. I could even have interesting and unusual pieces of hardware,
such as a couple of rtVAX400s if such things exist, but they don't, so I
clearly must not have any. Definitely not 3 of them. Not that it would
matter; if they did exist, there would probably be a nasty bug in the ASIC
anyway. Or maybe not.
