Attn: Curt in particular - Atari Video Machine power brick

by witchy＠binarydinosaurs.co.uk

Hi folks, Had an email from a lucky sod who's got his paws on a C240 Atari Video Machine but the power brick is bust/broken/knackered/fubar/nixed. Anyone have one of these things or access to the schematics? He thinks it's a 16V input but isn't entirely sure so he won't touch it until he knows more.... All the links on atarimuseum.com are b0rked..... TIA! -- Adrian/Witchy Owner & Webmaster, Binary Dinosaurs www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - possibly the UK's biggest online computer museum www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk - ex-monthly gothic shenanigans :o(

[OT] Dodgy electrolytic in 3COM hub

by witchy＠binarydinosaurs.co.uk

Hi folks, This is totally nowhere near the 10 year rule since the chips have datecodes of 9951 on 'em, but the theory of failure is the same. It's a 16 port 10/100 hub and it whistles like a bastard when its powered up. On dismantling I find that one of the electrolytic caps on the power regulator side of things is looking (to me) unwell in that it has a brown stain on the top over one of the joins: http://www.wowrarelook.co.uk/cap.jpg I gather replacement is necessary since it's obviously on its way out? Cheers all, -- Adrian/Witchy Owner & Webmaster, Binary Dinosaurs www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - possibly the UK's biggest online computer museum www.snakebiteandblack.co.uk - ex-monthly gothic shenanigans :o(

Sellam on Tech Tv/data records

by n8uhn＠yahoo.com

Good bit on early storage devices, Sellam. before the beginning of the story a host showed a mag that had a evatone like record with programs on it. how did one use the record? my guess is that you had to copy the record to cassette tape then load that into the comp.

Setting a DECserver free

by lists＠microvax.org

Hey Guys I've got a few DEChub90s - sweet things they are too. However, I don't wnt the bulk of them at the moment until we move to the New House. I'd like to run one of the modules - a DECserver90TL, not that it matters really which module it is - standalone. There's the largeish 16x3 rectangular backplane connector, and a smaller DIN-ish port. Where does the PSU connect on models that were born to be standalone? TIA alex/melt

Strange Computer (take 2)

by lyosnorezel＠yahoo.com

No, not at all. I don't see any "obstacles", only whining and inconsequential blathering. Look bud... YOU try living with these assholes and see how long you last. >From the moment you started participating in this group you've bandied about ridiculous theories about electricity and your questions have generally been answerable with just the minimum of Googling (and before you protest you CAN get to Google from AOL, I've done it). Don't give me that raft of shit... I did google first and found next to nothing. And what I did find was usually a bunch of giberish that, if I knew german, I would be able to understand. BTW, google's "translate this page" option wasn't there. When you try to get help for your problems, you seem to go out of your way to make it difficult. The problem doesn't seem to be AOL or your parents or Windows or whatever. It's you. Do some basic research and install some decent tools (of which there are many free ones available). Hide them from your parents if need be. Me dad is smarter then he appears... he knows enough to check certain unalterable system logs, that record all system activity. So installing programs is out of the question. Downloading is allowed as long as I don't exceed 1GB of file space they've "alloted" me. If you insist your parents are in the way then get a job and move out or order your own phone line. I've been looking for a job for 4 fucking months. But because of certain facts that goal seems unachieveable. A.)I was never allowed to get me temps (it was an 18th b-day present to meself) so I can't drive (yet), B.)the damn economy has hit the area where I live extremely hard (Ohio if your wondering), most of the companies around here haven't finish firing people yet, while the rest of you are on the upwards climb... we haven't quite hit the bottom.
