AMD made a 486 "SLC" chip that might probably do the trick... Originally, it was designed as a Laptop CPU, But I was able to use it in a baby-AT form factor to rum my BBS... :) Cheers!

Inland ProBackup 500 sought (pinouts or software)

by Edward.Tillman＠valero.com

You know the brand name of the UPS: There's likely freebie software out there on one of the .dll catalogue pages, if you know the make/model/series names/numbers. Also, you might heck with C|Net (Download.com), ZDnet, or similar pages. If they don't have it, they can likely point you in the right direction... Cheers!

Inland ProBackup 500 sought (pinouts or software)

As a last resort, how > standard is the DB9 pinout (IF I can find the pinout, no luck there > either)... I'm wondering if I can use just about any UPS software for it. I guess you can get a meter on the various port pins and simulate various failure modes to work out which pins signify what - if the UPS is non-intelligent and just uses various serial port pins to signify conditions. If the UPS forms some sort of protocol with the host you have a bit of a problem! I seem to remember setting up a linux box with an unknown UPS years ago, and doing just that, but of course getting a UPS to work with Linux is probably a little easier than Windows as you don't need any custom software. I expect if you can figure the UPS port out and find out what the UPS software (whichever you choose) on Windows needs then you can wire up a cable and everything should work fine. have a look at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/UPS-HOWTO.html that says that a lot of intelligent UPSes can be operated in dumb mode, and also gives specs for a few units. Probably worth a read even though it's for Linux. cheers Jules __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Can a TU81+ be connected to a TU80 controller?

by msokolov＠ivan.Harhan.ORG

But can a TU81+ be connected to the TU80 controller (only doing > 1600 then of course)? I thought that TU80 had a Pertec formatted interface while TU81 (plus or not) had LESI interface, i.e., two totally different interfaces. They are both CDC Keystone tape transports and I think it's one board inside that provides the interface and thus differs. But if you want to try swapping CDC Keystone logic boards, you are on your own. MS

test - I think I fixed why my email address displayed instead of my name...

by ssj152＠charter.net

I used to use this email account for another purpose. I had this email account set for the "name" field to be "ssj152", in a misguided attempt to maintain SOME privacy. I changed the name field back to "Stuart Johnson" and posted this message to see if it comes out correctly. Sorry for any confusion or "breach of etiquette" before. Stuart Johnson

System/36 whining and begging...

by ceby2＠csc.com

Folks -- Thought I'd continue my unreasonable begging from the previous note back to Bill. I'd like to take on a little project of creating archival images of S/36 media. I've made a duplicate of most of what I own on fresher 8" stock. But I don't think that's a long term strategy for avoiding the inevitable ravages of media corruption. What I had in mind was something like a 'dd' dump of each disk that could be reloaded to fresh 8" media when required. I haven't given this too much thought so bear with me.... I'm working on a list of questions and puzzles to accomplish this goal.The first obvious problem is media to hardware integration. If memory serves, I read somewhere that IBM used an oddball disk format (Sellam, you might know this). 8" Shuggart drives come on the market from time to time but, would they, using low level drivers, be able to make a physical block by block copy of IBM S/36 disk data? The second problem is hardware to hardware integration. Has anyone had luck integrating a 8" drive with a more recent machine? And what are the alternatives? I presume this could be done on DEC hardware and then sent to any open platform over a network connection. Has anyone gotten an 8" floppy operating under an Intel based Linux host. That would seem the obvious media transfer station because of the wide range of hardware compatibility. Once these first two steps are done, any basic disk utility ought to make short work of creating binary dumps. An alternative approach might be to copy the disks directly on the System/36 host using platform native tools then sending the file across some form of network connection. The problem is I haven't a clue how that would need to be done. I've never read any low level API for S/36 as a platform. IBM seems to have kept anything harware layer proprietary. Any and all thoughts welcome. Thanks, -Colin ceby2(a)csc.com Senior Consultant, National Performance Engineeering Practice CSC Consulting.

Wanted: 1971,2 IBM 3670 Brokerage Communications System

by jimkeo＠multi-platforms.com

Interested in documentation, user guides, programmer manuals, brochures, advertisements, etc. If someone actually has one or more of the hardware components that would be very interesting. IBM announced it in 1971 with a big sale to Merrill Lynch that may never have been fully completed. Thanks in advance, - Jim Jim Keohane, Multi-Platforms, Inc. "It's not whether you win or lose.

Xilinx purge this time

by aw288＠osfn.org

Thanks for all that asked for EPROMs - I think I could help about half of you guys out. I still have *lots* more, but not many oddballs. Anyway, I have a small pile of FPGAs - (6) Xilinx XC2018-70PC68C and (1) Xilinx XC3042-70PC84C. Pulls, PLCCs, good leads. Anyone need this pile for $6.00 - and that includes shipping ConUS! And yes, I take Paypal. I also have buckets of old Lattice GALs, if anyone wants them cheap, to erase and reuse. William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org

eBay: HP 2100 Gear (Expensive)

by jss＠subatomix.com

Here are some auctions to watch if you like HP stuff. I don't know much about HP minis, but the prices strike me as a bit too high. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2303485590 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2303485590 -- Jeffrey Sharp
