anybody need MANUALS for a Storage Tech Tape Subsystem?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Went scrounging today and one of the things that I picked up is a FAT three ring binder full of Field Engineering manuals for the Storage Technology Corp model 1960 Series Tape Subsystem. Includes the FE Maintenance manual, Illustrated Parts Catalog, Part Number Compatiblity Listing (breaks down ALL of the engineerng changes and their PN effectivity), something called a Master Machine Level Listing, a User's Guide for 1900 Diagnostics, a pamplet about "Communicating with the Monitor", an OEM Maintenance Reference Guide and one more book that's missing it's title page. Looks like everything you could ever need for the STC 1960 Tape system. Everything in a three ring binder marked "STC Field Engineering". The docs are a good three inches thick. Anybody want it? Preference given to those that can archive/scan it and make it available to others. You pay the postage. Joe

Epson QX-10 Hard disk, NOS

by Innfogra＠aol.com

Surprisingly I have a New Comrex ComFiler Hard disk subsystem on eBay and it doesn't even have one bid with seven hours to go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2743819844&category=1247& rd=1 New old stock (NOS) in it's original carton, instructions, circuit card for the Epson QX-10 cables and an external 10 meg hard drive. Starting at $24.95 plus shipping which I think reasonable. Paxton Astoria, OR 97103

Alpha Micro 1000?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Is anyone familar with this system? I can't find anything on AM's site and only one brief description on the net. I know it runs AMOS and has a 68000 CPU. This one has a 190 Mb hard drive and appears to have 4 Mb of RAM. It also has a PIICEON add-in card that adds 8 additional serial ports. It's also hanging up with a status code of 6 when I power it up. There' s no terminal attached so that MIGHT be the problem. I found a manula for a new AM system and it doesn't list a stat code of 6. Does anyone have a list of the codes for this system? Anybody know where I can find an Owner's or user's manual for this? Or what are the Video In, Video Out and Video I/O ports for? Joe

Quantum Lightning 540 AT Hard Disk

by roger161uk＠yahoo.co.uk

I have an old Quantum Lightning 540 AT hard disk containing some data I want to retrieve. The drive itself was removed from a computer some years ago (about 7 or 8 years), working as far as I remember. However, now, having tried to install the drive in a more modern machine to archive the data to CDR, the drive while recognized by the machine and the drive itself spinning up and apparently working returns a "hard disk read failure" error. Trawling the web, I found a short thread entitled "HD repair techniques" on cctalk. Like the original author of this thread, I too have a drive that contains data that is perhaps not worth the hundreds of pounds (GBP) that professional data recovery entails but wouldn't mind recovering the data all the same. Can anybody point me in the direction of any good information regarding the testing/diagnosis/repair of head-disk-assembly problems? Roger

Have any 387Sx-16's left?

by cb＠mythtech.net

>I am a grad student at UC Berkeley and I could use one of your >387sx-16's on a project I am working on. If you still have some and can >spare one, I am in the mechanical engineering department at: I don't have any at this exact moment, but I may come across more of them in the future. Do you have a deadline by which you need the chips, or is it just something you want to get eventually? (ie: should I hang on to your address and let you know if/when I get more, or will it be too late and you won't want or need them anymore). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Altair font - anyone identify?

by r.stek＠snet.net

I am attempting to make a reproduction name plate for an Altair 8800. I can try out various OCR-like fonts, but I was hoping that someone might have already identified the same or a similar font to the one used on the bottom of the front panel. If I can successfully do this, I'd certainly be willing to make them available to list members. Contest: who can come up with the cleverest place to put one of these OTHER than on the front of an Altair? Bob Stek Saver of Lost Sols
