HP CS/80 Instruction Set Programmers Manual (5955-3442)

by glenslick＠hotmail.com

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. -Glen _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

ATM NIC trade?

by pete＠dunnington.u-net.com

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? -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Broken mouse!

by hansp＠aconit.org

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. -- hbp

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. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

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. http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Abstracts/info/hdwr/at-connect… http://www.loten-am-mac.yucom.be/cap1.htm -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Reveal external CD-ROM

by jfrim＠idirect.com

$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. > tsch??, > Jochen Aufwiederschreiben, Roger Ivie ivie(a)cc.usu.edu
