I will be seeking two, maybe three DEC RL02 drives - at least one in
good working order - whilst at VCF. [also one interconnect cable and spare
terminator]. I have cash to pay for same (if at all 'reasonable'). I will
have a 3/4 ton 4X4 full-size pickup truck, so travelling to your Secret
Mountain Hide-out to get them will not pose a problem.
Will be happy to go anywhere in the Bay Area over next weekend, or to
modify my trek home, if it's roughly in the same direction (to Carson
City, Nevada).
Lemme know.
And yes, I posted this on the VCF Bulletin Board, but forgot my damn
password, and lost the message trying to find the Magic Formulae.
So there.
Cheers
John
Anyone know how wide the thermal paper is for the HP-85's printer? Is it
3 & 1/8", or is it wider?

It could be something as simple as a bad PRAM battery.
There's a little door in the upper back, that has a
battery in it.
Open it and see if there's a battery in there. If it
hasn't exploded... You probably can try replacing that
as a start.
Next would be the Power Supply/Analog board.
But, yes... You should be able to buy a replacement
cheaper than fixing that unit. Though, you might find
buyers for the parts to help fund that.

Yeah, I realized that after I hit send on the message asking for it off
list.
Oh well, at least I have it. I'll get a set of disks out to you tomorrow
(Monday).

If the SE has 4 MB of ram, you can connect an your SCSI CD ROM drive to
the SCSI port on the back, and boot from your OS 7 CD (assuming it is an
Apple OS 7 installer and thus a bootable CD). To do so put the CD in the
drive, then turn on the Mac and hold the Command-Option-Shift-Delete to
force the SE to boot from the external drive.
If you can't get that working, let me know, I'll send you a system 6
install set on 800K disks. System 7 doesn't fit on 800K disks so that's
right out. Unless you double check that you need 800K disks. Later Mac SE
models had 1.4 drives in them (if the Mac is labeled as Mac SE SuperDrive
or Mac SE FDHD then it can use 1.4 disks)

Hi,
I read the earlier messages about DC100A v DC1000 tapes. I was given a
DC1000 tape to try and sadly it didn't work in my HP-85.
I found the following page which implies the DC1000 requires a stronger
magnetic field than DC100A. So it's a bit like typing to use HD floppies in
a DD drive.
http://www.cybergenetic.ca/ebook/wrh13.htm
(BTW these tapes are 0.15" not one eight of an inch).
The following firm advertise DC100A, but I haven't bought any from them so
don't know if they have any stock:

HTH,

Hey anyone?
I don't have any machine that can write these.
If anyone can send me just an 800K floppy with the Mac OS6 or OS7
cd rom drive that'l work too. I have a CD with OS7 (probably) on it.
I want to get a MAC SE working again. I have scsi CDrom drive and
apples software cdrom.
Thanks!
ron.
Free TRS-80 Model III. All you have to do is come to Northwest New Jersey to
pick it up. It has two disk drives. No sftware. I don't know if it works,
but at this price you can't beat it. No trades needed, no cash, just some
time.

Joe,
I saw your posting on classiccmp.org for the 64 pin PLCC socket. We're doing
a project involving a PHILLIPS SAA7111A video decoder chip which is 14x14mm
size and has 64 pins but have had a difficult time finding a ZIF socket
that's compatible with the chip for PCB implementation. I was wondering if
you still have the Textool 64 pin PLCC ZIF socket and how much you'd be
willing to sell it for or if you don't have it any longer, where could I
find a zif socket for the chip we're using.
Thanks...
Greg
