I found EK-KDJ1A-UG-001 "KDJ11-A CPU Module User's Guide," which might help, because unless my memory fails me, the KDJ = 11/73. I didn't immediately find power-up codes in it -- probably because something like MXV11-B2 or other ROM set issues the codes. If I can find an MXV11 doc, I'll post a message. I used to have one. Contact me if you want the KDJ11 manual. runtime(a)wzrd.com DM

DEC Rainbow 100 website

by jba＠sdf.lonestar.org

Hey everyone, I just wanted to announce thta I will be opening a new Rainbow 100 website on Saturday, Feb 8. The site is located at: http://www.classiccmp.org/rainbow Right now, all that is there is an announcement. I hope everyone will take a moment top visit once it's open. I haven't been keeping up with everything in the Rainbow commumnity. I noticed that all the schematics have been posted on the Update (ftp.update.uu.se) archives. Who took the time to do this? I just wanted to thank them. Anyway, visit the page if you get a chance! Thanks! -Jeff jba(a)sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

Emulex SC04 controller... what kind of disk does it talk to?

by aek＠spies.com

anyone recognize this puppy? -- yup.. ANSI 8" interface I was VERY happy someone outbid me on it when I discovered what it was.. If someone has a paper copy of the X3.101 spec, i'd like to add it to the archives on spies. It appears to be based on the Shugart/Quantum 8" drive standard but on a single 50 pin connector instead of a 50 and 26.

Radio Shack/Science Fair bonus

by erd_6502＠yahoo.com

I recently won an auction described as a "Science Fair Junior Electronic Lab 10 in 1"... the picture showed a couple of blue grid boards which were, AFAIK, not part of a 10-in-1 It turns out that in addition to the 10-in-1, there was an entire (and a partial) "Science Fair Junior Project Board Kit" (cat no. 28-153) - one manual, two plug boards, one IC board (14-pin socket + 14 springs) plus a double handful of mixed loose components. The components are somewhat interesting from a historical perspective - there are several flavors of transistor sockets, several segmented LED displays (some on PCBs as from an LED calculator, some in DIP form), mercury switches, reed switches, and a bag of resistors with a "King Kits" card from Poly Paks. I'm curious if there's a repository of ancient Radio Shack kit manuals out there - I did not get a manual for the 10-in-1 (cat no. 28-225), but at least I got its box (covered in packing tape, grrr.) -ethan The New Yahoo!

TMS2564 ?

by uban＠ubanproductions.com

Hello, I am trying to update the firmware in an old BBN BitGraph terminal and it uses four TMS2564 EPROMs, which from what I have been able to determine (see here: http://www.spies.com/~arcade/schematics/ROMref.txt ) are not compatible with a standard 2764. I suppose that I could make four adapters, but if I can find the correct parts, that would be better. Does anyone have four TMS2564-45 (or better) that they would be willing to part with? --tnx --tom
