MicroVax II question

by fire＠dls.net

I wanted to revive my MicroVax II (BA23 cabinet I think) and add RZ74 (4GB drive) to it. I am writing number from memory, perhaps I have made mistakes. Will this card on Ebay do the trick? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2775848822&category=1247… I believe this might be the easiest way to get SCSI support on my machine, but perhaps this card is incompatible, or drive is too big? I do not have a lot of experience with VMS but want to play around some on this smaller somewhat old equipment.' Bradley Slavik

Hi all, The link for the "magical" software are: http://www.oldskool.org/disk2fdi/index_html For use with C64 disks, you'll have to make a little "hack" at the PC 5,25 drive. (it needs to spin at 300rpm, and almost all 5,25 drives will spin at defaut at 360rpm) For reading the flip side of the disk it's necessary an othe hack at the 5,25 drive. It's very simple, I've made it mysel without problems... If anyone wants some help on reading the disks, let me know... it's really simple. I have some images here that I extracted... if anyone want to "see" one of them, let me know too...

Wanted WD-100x disk controllers -- NOT for ISA bus

by Brett＠Kropf.com

Back about July 2002, you wrote: > Does anyone have any spare WD-1000, WD-1001, > or related disk controllers, or documentation on them? I have a WD1002-SASI (TAN) controller card in unknown condition. (The "TAN" is hand written, and is also written on a BIOS chip "Tan 5.0".) I purchased it used about 20 years ago to attempt to add a Hard Drive to a TI-99/4A, although I never actually started the project. I also have a 534 page Western Digital Corp. June 1984 Storage Management Products Handbook that includes data on the following "Winchester Board Products": WD1000-05 WD1001 WD1002-05 WD1002-MTB WD1002-SHD WD1002-WFT WD1002-WX2 The WD1002-SHD (at least) has data regarding the SASI port. If interested, make me a serious offer, and include your ZIP-Code to determine shipping.

Lot of 6 Z-89s, 2 VT100s, VT180, other terminals, DEC floppy drives available in LA (ebay)

by wmaddox＠pacbell.net

Saw this on Ebay. With about seven hours to go the bidding is ridiculously low. The guy wants a local pickup in Los Angeles. If I lived in LA, I'd put in a decent bid on this stuff, planning to sell off most of it individually. If any enterprising soul who does live in the LA area gets the same idea, I bet he'd have a customer already for a VT100 and a Z-89. :) --Bill OLD COMPUTER LOT, DEC, ZENITH, TELERAY++ - NR Item number: 2764800262 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2764800262&category=4017…

'Free to a good home'

by PeksaDO＠Cardiff.ac.uk

My, I've never been so popular. Sorry to disappoint overseas subscribers but I would really not like to even think of the transportation logistics. I've e-mailed the lucky winners (Dan & Pete) who were selected on a first come first served basis and the fact that they will pick them up. Forgot to mention that the PDP11/04 also has a GT40 & light pen. For those who asked - It's a space issue and the realisation (after collecting for 18 years - yes it took that long) that I can't keep everything and don't have the time to keep everything in good working order. The Perq provided many months of entertainment and the PDP11/04 many years - but I haven't used the Perq seriously for a number of years and the PDP11/04 at all since the RK11D broke in 2000. I shall seriously miss running ADVENT on a UNIBUS PDP sitting at the LA36 console wearing my ear defenders. I shall also miss LANDER which ran on the GT40 and was controlled by the lightpen. McDonalds get everywhere don't they ;-). Anyway I hope the new owners have as much fun with them as I did. Doug. PS There will be more stuff at a later date.

Ah, did you mean that you meant "controller" instead of drive? Then you need to read the docs that accompany the software :-) -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
