Well... Having in mind the difficult of locate any kind of operative UCSD system in the Internet and any other place... Perhaps one security copy of the USCD disks could be realized to allow some believers to see the light :-) It's only a suggestion, of course :-)) Cheers Sergio

Data I/O 29A manuals

by cia＠raytheon.com

Jim, Thanks for putting the 29A .pdf files online. We really needed them for our programmer, to reprogram some old parts in a vital system that's still working out there in the field. Lance

Happy manual?

by rs＠therica.net

Dennis- did anyone ever help you out? I'm far from Atari these days, brain-dust at this point, but I was trying to remember who made the Happy, and your post was the first thing shown in the Google search. I might have a copy of the manual somewhere, buried in this house, if you still need help. I decided a few nights ago to see what was new in the emulator world, having briefly attempted to convert over to that in the mid-90's, and had such a hostile and arrogant reply from Darek Mihocka, what a ******. It brought back memories of other unpleasant individuals in this same genre of the old Atari world from years past. best, Rob Happy Enhancement murphy, dennis b (BMC Eng) cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Thu Mar 27 12:55:04 2003 a..

Old manual got wet

by jwstephens_2000＠yahoo.com

Most recovery techniques rely on reducing the manuals moisture to a certain level and maintaining it there and the the best way I heard was to take to a facility that can freeze dry and vacumn dry in parallel. The contents of the Los Angeles public library was nearly destroyed but for using old aerospace facilities around the area to put large quantities of books into old vacumn test chambers with liquid nitrogen cooling, and some mods to the vacumn systems to tolerate the extraction of the moisture. Most computer manuals are printed on paper that shoulc be recoverable, since it basically is high rag based paper, w/o any applied coatings. The sort of papers used by magazines use either plactic coatings, or a very fine clay coating with treatment over paper to get the "slick" look, and those were nearly impossible to recover. (unless new techniques were developed since I last read, anyway). I don't know if you can do this with any resources you have, or know of, but the vacumn / freeze dry method is the best I have heard of. Of course be sure to pack it to guard against mildew and rot, or you won't have anything worth restoring either. Jim

SGI Modular IRIS?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Anybody know anything about these? I spotted one in a scrap yard. It's a white box about the size on and end table. I searched the net for info on it but didn't find much and none of the hits talked about the hardware or what software it ran. I opened the front and it had a 5 1/4" hard drive, 5 1/4" tape drive and a 3 1/2" hard drive all mounted in removable sleds. I grabbed the one in the 3 1/2" sled since it looks like it will fit my Indigo. But I'm wondering if the whole thing is rare and should be rescued. Joe

Percom LFD-400B Mini-Disk Controller for SWTPC?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I think my SWTPC is going to be my next restoration project. Mine has a Percom LFD-400B Mini-Disk Controller. Does anyone here have any information about it? It's not listed on Michael Holley's website. I also need info about a Boaz 64k (32k installed) memory board if anyone has any but it's not as crutial as the FD cntroller. Joe
