Hi Joe
If you have any extras, I'd like on also ;)

TF? That's nothing, there are plenty of PF (petafarad) caps around in
USA, or at least labeled as such by manufacturers who can't figure out
that SI unit symbols and prefixes are case-sensitive.

We're all wrong! Tantalums don't "fail" -- that's not zero-ohms
you measure across the two mangled pins -- it's INFINITE
CAPACITANCE!
I estimate my little 47uF/35VDC tant must now be, oh, a TF
or more (teraFarad). Of course it blows the 5amp fuse in the
power supply! The TC is measured in YEARS...
There's no other explanation possible.
None.
I am not listening to you.
The "Modern Marvels" series (History Channel) is showing this special episode
again. Here on the east coast, it's beginning... right now (7pm).

Does anyone have the last few pages of the DF32 (not DF32D) manual? I
was specifically interested in the board used to display track
selection, etc, for the diskless tests. IIRC, it's on like page 6-41,
and the copy of the DF32 maint manual on bitsavers only goes up to
6-37.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I just changed jobs, and the new place has a *TOTAL* lockdown on web
browsing, even for the engineers, so I have not been keeping track of the
list.
I was catching up tonight from home, and saw Adrian's note about me and the
MPF-1. I indeed have one, with manuals, and would be happy to make copies
for whoever needs them. Please email me off-list, and we can set it up.
One small caveat: I have a metric crapload of things going on, so it may be
a few *weeks* before I can get to it. If you can wait, I can make copies...
:-)

I have a Syquest 44MB internal drive, model SQ555, which came with
an enclosure that I picked up. I don't know the status of the drive
but it is free for the price of shipping to the first person to
claim it...

For what it's worth there is a manual for the Votrax Type N Talk at the URL below, I believe they used the same speech chip (SC-01). Crap, I had a Votrax PSS about 4 years ago and sold it for pennies on the dollar!
http://members.aol.com/itsancientpics3/votraxmanual.htm
There is also a neat piece of DOS software to read the screen through a PSS at: http://park.org/Guests/Trace/pavilion/dosshar1.htm
Sorry, that's all I can come up with.

I recently obtained a Votrax Personal Speech System which unfortunately for
me, did not include the power supply or the manual.
Thanks to Robert Stek's informative post
(http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2003-February/010608.html) on
this list in Feb '03, I am in the process of constructing a power supply for
it.
(i.e. I eBayed a 28VAC transformer and am using an 18.5VDC laptop power
supply instead of 20VDC which HOPEFULLY won't hurt anything, until I find a
satisfactory 20VDC power supply, and am cannibalizing a DIN-5 connector from
a dead keyboard)
However, I still lack a copy of the PSS's manual, so I can't figure out how
to set the various device modes, to control the AY-3-8910 audio generator
chip, etc.
If anyone here has the manual for the Votrax Personal Speech System and has
some means to scan or digitize it (a digital camera will work) can they post
or send me a copy of the images? It would be very much appreciated.
