HP Laserjet ..again....

by millenniumfalcon＠cableone.net

As I stated earlier, I have cannibalized three HP laserjet series II printers. In looking over the parts recovered I find that I have three (3) totally different memory boards. The first is populated with small chips on BOTH sides of the board with a total of 128 soldered in chips that appear from their part numbers to be 256K memory chips, That is the number 256 appears within the part number. Now I don't know how wide the buss is but I am assuming 8 bits because of its age. If so this board is a 4 Megabyte memory board. The second is only half populated with 16 soldered in chips on one side that have the number 1000 in their part number so I am assuming they are 1meg chips and using the afore mentioned logic I come up with a 2Megabyte memory board. The third is fully populated with 32 socketed chips with the number 1000 in their part number and that works out to a 4 Megabyte memory board. Is my logic sound? Do I have two 4 meg boards and a 2 meg board? What is the largest memory board the Series 2 could hold? I am assuming that the socketed memory is best because it is easily repaired, but are there any problems with the socketed memory having bad contacts after time?

[OT] IDing a website owner

How can I go about figuring that out? > Zane 1/ query the whois of the according registrar. Example : for .com : www.internic.net, for .org, www.pir.org. For countries query their NIC (Network information center), www.nic.fr for France for example. If you prefer something easier : http://www.whois-search.com/ which will automagically query the correct whois database. 2/ A web server is bound to an IP address. You can find who owns this IP by querying another set of databases. Start from the ARIN database at www.arin.net which might redirect you to some other databases (RIPE for Europe, APNIC for Asiac/Pacific, LACNIC etc.). http://www.whois-search.com/ will work in both cases. To have the name converted to IP AND the whois query at the same time : http://www.samspade.org/ Hope this helps, -- Stephane Paris, France.

Onyx C8002 News: Boards pictures

by cheri-post＠web.de

Hi all, finally, I've had some time and a new scanner to scan in the boards. Somebody asked me to do so several months ago. There are scans of one of the two memory boards, the peripherals board and the CPU board. Problem is, that I haven't got a website to put them on. Six pictures are available, size is 500kb - 800kb. They're big, I know, but everything can be seen, including the inscriptions of the chips. If anybody wants them, I can send them via email. Better would be a place to put them online for a week or so. Maybe a kind person could help me ? It would be great if someone who owns a C8000/c8002 could check out the DIP switch settings of the boards. I'm not sure if they're ok. Remeber, my C8002 doesn't work, I'm trying to fix it.

HP-3000 "Guide for new System Operators" 1986 manual - free

by tosteve＠yahoo.com

I have a thick manual entitled - "HP-3000 Guide for new System Operators" dated 1986. I don't want it, do you? Free for shipping from So Cal 92656. First come first served? No, I hate that. Everyone who responds in the next 7 days will have a fair chance, unless you want to start throwing money at me. I'm making a big assumption that someone may actually want it...

classiccmp server hard drive info

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

Bought a new hard drive for the classiccmp server. It's a seagate barracuda 7200rpm 8mb cache 160gb unit. Retail Price was $129.99, less $20 instant rebate, plus $7.23 sales tax, subtotal $117.22. Then there was a $50 mail in rebate, so the bottom line cost is $67.22. This was a compUSA special last week. Anyone who wants to donate a pittance to cover the drive purchase, paypal me at jwest(a)classiccmp.org I'll email the list soon as I cover the price of the drive. I probably wont get down to the datacenter to install the drive for a week or two. I'll announce to the list when the downtime is to be expected. Jay
