Digital 'Hierach Storage Contrller' HSC70 - What is it?

by jplist＠kiwigeek.com

There's one of these puppies on eBay right now, I spotted it in my wanderings, and out of curiousity I went to look it up on Google - and didn't find much at all to explain WHAT the thing actually is. I find "Hierach Storage Controller" and something about it being a "Mass storage controller" - but not much more. It's a hell of a best for being an overblown HBA... What is it really? Whats this about a hierachy? :P Thanks folks; The ever curious JP

DEC MINC-11 question

by Steven_R_Hutchins＠Raytheon.com

The doc's are very useful. Thanks. I have checked the power supply,it's OK. The docs are for original MINC-11. I have one with different CPU and memory ( dual Qbus cards ). Do you know where to find docs on KDF11-A (M8106)and MSV11-MB (M7506)? Tomorrow I should start looking for clock activity on some of the cards. I see a used KDF11-A at DCP in Melbourne, FL. for $66....if I go for the shotgun method of troubleshooting.;-((( >The engr drawings for the MINC are up now at >www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/qbus/MP00652_MNC11engrDrw_1978.pdf Hutch

A friend of mine at work has two spare SGI 17" monitors that were used with Indigos, and coincidentally he asked me this afternoon if I wanted them. He's going to chuck them if no-one does.

Identity of DEC BC20K Cable

by pete＠dunnington.u-net.com

On Jan 20, 10:02, Cynde Moya wrote: > Can anyone tell me what the BC20K is used on? According to one of my DEC optons and modules microfiche, it's a PCL11-B Y Cable. Another one says it's a TDM Bus Node Cable, 10', which fits. I'd guess it's a ribbon cable, since all the other BC20x cables are. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Replacement for HP 9122C - any comments?

by john_a_s2004＠hotmail.com

Hi, The 9122C was made by HP as a HP-IB floppy drive using the SS-80 protocol (AFAIK). (I have a 9122D which I think has the same specs running on my HP-85 / HP-87 set-up using the EMS ROM). Anyway, I came across the following on Google: http://www.isa-j.co.jp/NEW/english/HP-IB/p_hpib_b.html Company claims to be making a compatible drive, but the rest of the site is in Chinese writing so I couldn't find a price. Has anyone come across this drive, or know of any other compatible drives? It's not that the 9122 series is that rare, but a modern equivalent (especially one with a 1G hard drive!) certainly is an attractive option for those still using Series 80 and other HP-IB machines 'for real' rather than tinkering with them like me.

ECMA 46 tape standard

by aek＠spies.com

> I've been asked about a quarter-inch tape standard from 1976, called ECMA-46 0Bh X3.55-1982, X3.56-1986, ECMA-46, ISO 4057-1979 >from the scsi spec.. There is a copy of X3.56-1977 hiding in the back of a quantex tape drive manual that I scanned this morning. This is one of the original 1/4" tape formats, for a drive with a fixed position four-track head stack (the norm prior to what became the QIC11 moving head 4 track standard) The scan is here: www.bitsavers.org/pdf/quantex/TM1001_650_Jul81.pdf the spec is appendix A

Cromemco SCC Eproms

by rmu_scada＠yahoo.com

Does anyone have images of Rom 0 and Rom 1 for Cromemco SCC S100 single board Z80 computer? My manual states first half of Rom 0 contains monitor progrom and remaining Rom 0 and Rom 1 contain 3k Basic Interpreter. Source code or hex listing would be OK too. I believe Eproms were part no. MCB-416 and they are 2716s. Thanks in advance, Joe A __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
