Dear m-r Duell,
I'm looking for disk drive model MP-F52W-00D (Sony).
It is out-of-date model
What model it is possible to replace by?
Your advice is necessary
Best Regards, A.Marder, engineer
I want a little gizmo with an RS-232/DB25 on one side and a RJ45/10baseT
on the other. It should speak TCP/IP, specifically telnet, and convert it
to RS-232. Kind of like a print server, except for telnet/RS232 instead of
lpd/Centronics.
The idea is to use it to put some of my old computers on the network
by plugging it into their console serial ports.
There are enough microprocessors around today with embedded TCP/IP
stacks that such a thing would not be that hard to build, but it
sounds like the kind of thing that somebody else must have already
done.
Can anybody give me any pointers to such a gizmo?
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
Hi All,
Had an Atari 520 ST in storage. Found out it has small ants next taking up residance inside it. I think I found it before the ants managed to cause any damage inside the unit, however am courious to know if there is any known long term affect from Fly Spray contamination. I can clean up most of the PCB and Everything with the usual High presure wash, then dry it in a drying oven, but what residues am I likely to have from fly spray?? Any one with any ideas????

Hello, all:
I'm doing some renovation work on the Altair32 Emulator and I'm
looking for JPGs of Altair-era dot matrix printers that I can convert to BMP
and use as a dialog box background.
It would have to be a close-up, well-lit shot that I can re-size if
needed. The final size won't be any bigger than about 640x300 (more likely
smaller). A shot from the operators' viewpoint would be best so you can see
the control panel.
Please contact me off-list. As always, thanks.

In other words, a terminal server (or a console server, as they're
sometimes called). Look for a secondhand Shivaport or Lantronix; don't
bother with Emulex.
If you want a really small one, try
http://www.interfaces.de/e-wwwww-ww-hpus-000.html
(but they ain't cheap). They do some nice things; I bought some web-IO
thermometer units from them (I use PT100 probes and I can run the
probes remotely over 100m of Cat5).

I have a lead on some DEC gear, I'm handing it over to the list. Please
contact the owner directly. Sounds like he has RT-11 on diskette AND tape.
I'd be interested in just the tape if it's 1/2 inch....

Hi folks,
I'm looking for either an HP-1600A manual, or for some kind soul
to give me a few pointers on how to use the 1600. I got it without
the manual; but I do have all the probes.
My main questions are:
a) what do the "Qualifier" switches do?
b) how do they relate, if at all, to the "Trigger Word / Map
Locator" switches?
c) how do I trigger on various patterns (if I can)?
d) some explanation of the "Trigger Mode", "Sample Mode",
"Table", and "Map" switches.
e) any other general operating tips would be appreciated.
I'm posting to this list because I figure a few people out there use
these things for their antique computer collections; I certainly plan
to use mine to restore my PDP-12 :-)
http://www.parse.com/~museum/pdp12/pdp12/restore.html
I intend on using it with a "clothes-pin"-type 14 and 16 pin adaptor
to check on the operating state of various ICs...
Cheers, and thanks in advance,
-RK

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but's there's MOS for the IBM PC
(and maybe others). It's a multiuser version of MS-DOS. Lance Lyon should
be able to give more details.
