TCA240 pinout and a little data

by ard＠p850ug1.demon.co.uk

Jules Richardson (IIRC) was asking about this chip to repair a classic computer peripheral (so it is on-topic)... I can't find it in a databook, but I've found a circuit that uses it -- the 'Head Amplifier Playback' module (board P50) in a Philips VR2020 VCR [1].It seems to contain 8 NPN transistors and nothing else (at least the schematic of that board shows the internals of the IC as 8 transistors only) and consists of 2 identical sections. Each is a long-tailed pair with a couple more transistors acting as a current sink for the 'tail'. Anyway, here's a pinout. There may be substrate connections, etc that I don't know about, and which might matter if you want to design something round the IC. But this should be enough to understand the circuit the chip is used in. I assume the chip Jules is looking at is a 16 pin DIL package. I'll draw the schematic of half the chip, giving the pin numbers for one section, with the corresponding pins for the other section in parentheses... 14 (11) 12 (13) o o | | | | / \ |/ \| 3 (6) o-----| |-----o 4 (5) |\> </| \ / | | +-----+-----+ | | / |/ 2 (7) o-----| |\> \ | +----------o 1 (8) | / |/ 15 (10) o-------| |\> \ | | o 16 (9) -tony

Greedy E-bay idiots!

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Did you guys see this? <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2592518771&category=4504 5>. It's a thin manual for an EPROM programmer. This clown wants $9.80 for shipping AND $2.80 for insurance (REQUIRED no less). Actual postage for this via USPS bookrate is about 40 cents and insurance is 35 cents! How do these clowns expect to stay in business! Joe

PerSci manual wanted (classiccomp)

At the time, one of the places I looked was your site and I recall (I think) seeing your manual. I've since been given a PDF copy, though, so I don't need a "real" one. As to the models, as you probably know, the 277 and 299 are twin drives -- they take two disks -- the 277 being single-sided and the 299B being double-sided. I only have the full spec for the 277/299, so I'm not sure but I believe the 270/272 are single-mechanism versions (ie they take one disk, not two). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Aargh...It never ends..

by dwight.elvey＠amd.com

Hi Actually it won't make a particularly good Jacobs ladder. If it doesn't blow a breaker, the rods will most likely melt off. It is not like a neon sign transformer that is current limited, it is a transformer that is current rated. Let me see, 60Kv at 30ma is 1800W. How long so you think the rods will hold up to such power. I recommend having a fire extinguisher handy. >From: "ed sharpe" <esharpe(a)uswest.net> > >it should make a fine Jacobs ladder! >ed! >----- Original Message ----- >From: "ben franchuk" <bfranchuk(a)jetnet.ab.ca> >To: <General Discussion :>; "On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" ><cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> >Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 9:37 PM >Subject: Re: Aargh...It never ends.. > > >> Patrick Finnegan wrote: >> >> > Hmm.

Anyone near Rancocas, NJ.....

by d_cymbal＠hotmail.com

...whose travels ever take them up near Boston? Somebody down there has offered me a bunch of Visual 1050 items that I'm interested in, but he is not willing to pack/ship the stuff and I can't get down there anytime soon. Alternatively, if someone is willing to try and handle the packing/shipping for me let me know what terms you'd consider. Thanks. dc _________________________________________________________________ Click, drag and drop.

Sellam - TV star !

by brianmahoney＠look.ca

Just caught Sellam on Media Television here in Toronto. The show is produced by our independent station, CITY - TV. Is this old news? Anyway, my 14 year old son called me into the room and we both watched the fairly long (for TV) interview/tour. Besides being very interesting to me, I feel it gave my son some new-found pride in what I do as a hobby. Kind of gave it some legitamacy. If anyone wants more details, let me know. Brian M.

FORTH Journals

by dwight.elvey＠amd.com

Hi I thought someone in this group might also be interested in these books. For those interested in Forth, the Forth Encyclopedia ( upper left ) is worth more than all the rest of the items he has. Of course, the Forth Primer is a historic item as well. Dwight >From: "Jimmy Pepp" <onanysunday(a)yahoo.com> > >Hi: > >My name is Charlie Krajewski.
