I salvaged this laptop, looks ok, but does'nt have a power supply. Any
members of this b-board in the san francisco bay area interested in it??

Is NASA still getting data? I assume it will continue to transmit until a
failure of some kind occurs, regardless of if we can hear it. But I
didn't think NASA was still getting data from V_YGER :-)

I am having the same type of issue. I have a VAXstation 3100 and the
Hold Screen, Lock, Compose and Wait lights are all lit. I have tried
typing B and B followed by a device at the >>> prompt, but nothing seems
to work. Any ideas? I would love to breath new life into this Old
VAXstation as a BSD machine.

I have a StorageWorks unit that's surplus to requirements. It's a
floor-standing box, complete with the doors and keys, 2 PSUs, and some
"innards". Can anyone tell me if all thse bits belong in the same
unit?
2 x SWXBP power supply
1 x HSD10-AA DSSI-SCSI controller (what does this do, exactly?)
1 x 70-32155-01 8-bit interface (SCSI? or what?)
1 x RZ29B 4.3GB fast wide disk
1 x TLZ06 DDS tape drive
It came wih a MicroVAX some time ago, but I've never used it. Anybody
want it, for a suitably low price?

Could someone tell what the differences are between a DEC RL02 -vs- a
RL02-A, or point me to the appropriate web site.
Thanks very much,

Please send an offer

I'm looking for an 8" SMD disk drive. The only ones I've seen were made
by NEC - and I can't seem to find any. What other companies made these
kind of drives? Any suggestions on where I should look or what (other)
kinds of equipment these were used in? (besides Wang minicomputers)

Sounds like you need to bother the tireless Don Maslin....with whatever
ROM info you have. Most likely, you won't end up with a normal Kaypro
II disk image! From what I can make of the available info, you can use
the Sydek program 22DISK to transfer files from Kaypro disks to MS-DOS
files and vice-versa, but it won't work to make a bootable disk. It
requires the use of a 360k disk drive for best results--as 1.2M drives
have different size heads and record at different levels. I've had good
luck using a 386 PC with a 360k drive and wfwg 3.11 to read and write
Kaypro floppies and talk over my lan to get files to/from the internet.
One of the roughly ten Kaypros I've owned had the fan mod; a couple had
OEM fans, but none have had the Advent rom; nor have any had hard drives
added (the K10 I have now has a working hard drive, although the
original files are long gone...and it takes some creative "laying on of
hands" to get the drive spinning after it's been sitting awhile)
Sounds like a fun machine!
