I have a copy of the manual 5955-4311 / Installation and Service Manual / High Performance Memory Systems. It covers the 2102E and 2102H Memory Controllers and the 12741A, 12746H, 12747H, 12779H, and 12780H Memory Modules. (But not the 12749H). My 2117F is configured with a 2101E Memory Controller, (3x) 12749H 256KW Memory Modules, a 12371A Memory Expansion Module, and a 12892B Memory Protect Module. I can pull the boards out of my system and tell you how the dip switches are set if that helps. -Glen >From: James Willing <jimw(a)agora.rdrop.com> >Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org >Subject: Config info on HP1000 memory? >Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 09:49:44 -0800 (PST) > >In severe HP mode this week... <G> > >Does anyone have at hand the information for configuring HP memory boards >12747H and/or 12749H for use in an HP1000 (2117F) computer??? > _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

What am I missing here?

by classiccmp＠vintage-computer.com

Maybe I misread and saw an extra zero, but this looks crazy to me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4193&item=2085217 285 What's so special about this machine? Note: I have absolutely no affiliation with this auction (although I wish I was the seller). Erik

VAXserver 3100

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

A VAXserver 3100 is usually the "high" model, with space for 2 5.25" devices in the lower drive bay (TZ30 and RRD42 come to mind), and then up to three 3.5" SCSI disks in the upper bay. It was often equipped with one to three RZ25-E's (400M, Seagate ST1480). The CPU is KA41 mostly; there are some KA42's out there, too. Console is usually on MMJ port 1, set to 9600/8/N/1. It *can* be on one of the other ports - dont ask me why, but I have seen several. :) These are good, reliable machines. They are a lil on the power-hungry side, but damn, they never give up. I have two, one running Ultrix 4.5, and one running OpenBSD 3.2. --fred

Phonemark "Quick Data Drive" - info?, also WTD Commodore 15xx drive, info.

> I saw one at a hamfest - unfortunately She Who Must Be Obeyed > walked up behind me and said "If you buy that piece of junk, > you and your 'find' are sleeping outside." That should not be a problem, methinks. Make sure you use a double-layer floor in the tent (available from any military outlet) *and* properly wire the place for AC, so you can play with the puters. Problem fixed. :) --fred

Phonemark "Quick Data Drive" - info?, also WTD Commodore 15xx drive, info.

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Philip, > type of cartridge. Does anyone have a spare QOS cartridge and/or a few > blanks they feel like parting with? I believe I have some of that stuff tucked away... I *did* have some of the Entrepo drives. And since I'm keeping my Commodore stuff around for my son (who currently is almost a year old, so, yes, he's gonna laugh his head of when I show him that "computer"..) I can probably miss some of the cartridges.. > I'm also trying to track down a Commodore 15xx disk drive > - 5.25", 3.5", MFM, GCR, whatever, as long as it uses the Got those, but wanna hang on to them. There *is* a project out there which lets you connect a C64/128 to your PC's parallel port, and you can then run a program on the PC which emulates N CBM 15xx drives.. you can mount/unmount disk images, and whatnot. I'll find the name of it. --fred

New and reading the mail

by kandres＠epssecurity.com

Hello Peoples, I am reading the the mail starting fairly recently. I have a Commodore Pet vintage 1975, serial # in the 13,000 range, received on Guam while in the U.S. Navy, currently not running has a screen full of random characters, seems to me I remember this as indicative of a 6550 MOSTEK ram failure. An Ohio Scientific Superboard, used as a development tool by a firm just starting in computer control of the real world. A DEC something that hasn't been run since it was shut down. The DEC had the BIG 10m removable drive packs, drives and packs since departed this earth in one lost shipment or other. I don't always get to the mail in a timely manner, but it certainly is interesting reading. I am encouraged that there are other enthusiasts out there who appreciate the electronics for what it is not necessarily what it will do at 4.8Ghz. Faster and bigger is not always better. It seems to me the days when programs had to be chained, led to better and less buggy programming. Kev kandres(a)epssecurity.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi, I'm not exactly a Corvus collector, but I used to work for Lawrence S. Epstein Associates, LTD., and we were the East Coast Distributor for Corvus Equipment for quite awhile... And I have a couple of drives and various odds and ends taking up space in a closet... I have some IBM XT Omninet Adapters, I think a couple of older Apple II adapters, Some Mirror Boards, an "H" series drive, and an old Apple II only OmniDrive. I also have manuals and software, maybe even a constellation adapter too.. Those were the days... When a 70mb HDD sold for $8000.00... :) Al __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
