Hi Sellam
I find it is easier to track what is going on by
disconnecting the power to the motor. I can then
rotate, using the fan, to get it to cycle through
an action. You still have to manually lock up the
clutches or they will drag. You do this by squeezing
the two pieces that hang out and catch on the release
lever. Once you got them locked up, you can type a
key and cycle things one step at a time.

Have you had any replies from this? I know that Elan no longer produce, or even support the old programmer/copiers.
I'm hopefully getting one similar in a few days, and I don't think mine's got a manual either. Did you get a manual? (electronic would be nice)

there's a 1982 "Semiconductor Data Book Hitachi IC Memories" on my desk, and a
scanner in the next room. The book has seven pages about the HM6116LP-2,
HM6116LP-3, and HM6116LP-4, including a general decription, pinout, data
tables, signal waveforms, and various diagrams.

I am trying to fix a little PLC that uses the HM6116LP-3
and I need a data sheet such as you describe. I would much appreciate the
pages you describe in your reply to Patrick above.

Hi Charles. I tried to send this directly but your mail server claims

Oh well.

Hi Charles.
Thanks for the info. I have the original manuals but just not here. I'll
be getting them this week to help with this. I'll look for that release
lever.
As for the read cover, it's actually the small tab that holds it down.
That broke off at the stem. It was part of a piece of very thin metal
that had a spring effect. If you look at the piece of metal that the tab
is connected to you'll see what I mean. The only thing I can think of to
fix it is to either find a replacement (not very likely), glue a small
piece of metal to the springy-thingy so I can affix the tab back onto it,
or make a new one.

Go to www.pdp8.net (or the Highgate mirror site) and download the

It's about 20Mb total. It will be invaluable when trying to figure
out the strange and mysterious innards of an ASR33! Everything is
clearly illustrated and explained.
I recently converted my KSR33 (sitting in the barn for six years)
into an ASR33 and have been wrestling it into submission
gradually. The only things left to fix are binding of the paper in
the line feed mechanism (which predated the conversion), and an
occasional bit 5 sticking "set" (i.e. as though the SHIFT key were
pressed).
For now, look down below the carriage and find a little lever
running parallel to the keyboard just to the left of center, which
can be carefully tripped with a long screwdriver. Careful - that
carriage has a strong spring and will come back fast!
I have a spare reader cover if you're interested.

Hi, I just closed a deal for a run to get some 60 miles from
here. I was "called to duty" on the Classic Computer Rescue Squad.
I tell you Penske is your friend! I got a liftgate truck for
$75 and $0.18/mi. When you guys rent a truck make sure you
claim a business rate. After all, we are a voluntary non-profit
"organization" that helps businesses get rid of their old computing
equipment and save the environment and the technology. We share
equipment with people in need, including private collections and
museums. That's what we do, so that's what we can claim business
rates for.
cheers,
-Gunther
