On an Seagate ST-506 (not the interface, the reel drive), I got from a Mac, I found the same strange connector. The PCB-Board had a MAC-Logo on it. What interface could this really be ?

Nope, this bug existed on the P60 and P66. Pierre cctech(a)classiccmp.org schrieb am 25.06.03 01:12:46: > > Jim wrote: > > Anyone interested in an AST Manhattan server? Dual p-90s.

Emulex resources?

by erd_6502＠yahoo.com

I've been to Al's repository on spies.com and found a few documents, but I'm looking for some info on a variety of Emulex disk controllers. The level of detail I'm at is what controllers support which drives and emulate which DEC interfaces... I.e. - I have an SC21 on the way that emulates an RH11/RH70 and lets me talk to a variety of SMD drives as if they were RM02/RM03/RM05/RM80 drives. I also have a QD34 that was an entire Pound that I'd like to press into service, but I have no cables... I was contemplating removing the I/O transition board and fabricating a "standard" A&B cable connector interface (60 pin/multi-26-pin). I'm also curious to get a reference to other controllers in case I see them float by... most of the ones for sale lack specifics due to seller ignorance. Thanks, -ethan

ZENITH EASY PC

by allread＠earthlink.net

Hello - I was given your address as I have a Zenith Easy PC that I want to give to a good home. I have continued to use it for various projects even though I have a Dell XP for most activities. I have all the books that came with it; first choice software and also an Epson printer for both continuous forms and singles. That I would like to sell. Would like to hear from an interested person - otherwise, it will be going to Goodwill who will probably dump it. Thanks. Jean in N. Carolina

OT: Ebay Search Engine

by aw288＠osfn.org

Has anyone on this list been having problems with the Ebay Search Engine within the last week or so? Wildcard searches, typically using two wildcards, are not working for me anymore, typically returning 0 hits. Apparently others have been having some problems, as seen on the Ebay discussion boards. Ebay tech support is being less than helpful. "Well, it works for us". Please reply off list (although I know this will now start an Ebay sucks thread). William Donzelli aw288(a)osfn.org

manual for 5 1/4" HD drive

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Hi All, I have a project in mind that I'll be using a High Density (1.2Mb) floppy drive for. But it's going to take some tinkering with the jumpers to make it work and I'll need a manual for it. Does anyone know if where I can locate a manual for any of the HD drives on-line or does anyone have a manual (or copy) that they're willing to part with? I haven't decided on any particular model or brand of drive and I have access to hundreds of different ones so I expect that it would be easier to find a manual and then find a drive to match it rather than vice versa.

Compaq prolient 1500 dual cpu card

by n8uhn＠yahoo.com

With all this talk about newer gear - i thought i'd post a want for a p1 machine. i am looking for a "cheap" dual cpu card for the compaq prolient 1500 server i have. compaq uses a card that holds the simm's and cpu. i have the single cpu card but it only allows a 90 mhz p1 - the dual card allows faster cpu's and will work with a single cpu.
