LF: Information on Dy4 DSM 6816

by aek＠spies.com

I have recently acquired a Dy4 DSM 6816, a 68000 based workstation which appears to be from the mid 80's. -- Is this a Multibus system based on the original Stanford SUN cpu board?

Hello, have you sold your CS-80 yet? If not and are considering selling it, where in the USA are you located? Evangelos.

HP gear available for trade

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I have nine 13037 controller boxes. These are the rackmount controllers that are necessary to use 7905/7906, and 7920 drives. They MAY be used for 7925's too, I forget, I can look up the 7925 info if need be. Each 13037 controller box can support up to 8 drives and 2 cpu's. These boxes each contain the microprocessor, error control, and device control PCA's. All have been tested thoroughly (as of tonight) with 7906 drives and burned in with diags - they are known to be completely functional. They have not been thoroughly cleaned and do need that, but since I want to get rid of them I didn't address cosmetics. I will be keeping 3 of the units for myself for sure (and two HP-IB option boards!). If the remaining 6 are not all claimed, I'll scavenge one of them for a spare set of boards, power supply, etc. and pitch the shell. With each 13037 box I will include either an original manual, or a copy (depending on how many duplicates I have) upon request. No cables will be included, but the cables will be available with the 7906 drives (see below). I am guessing the 13037 controller box weighs around 35 pounds. In a few weeks I will be offering some (about 7) 7906 drives as well. I guess if anyone wants a drive and controller, I will wait and ship both together. Any drives I offer will be tested and known working too. All depends on how many of them I can get working. Let me know if you want one, I'm starting the official list :) Expect hefty shipping charges, 7906's are quite a bit heavier than RL02's! Jay West

LF: Information on Dy4 DSM 6816

by dave04a＠dunfield.com

I have recently acquired a Dy4 DSM 6816, a 68000 based workstation which appears to be from the mid 80's. The machine works, I can access a ROM monitor, and boot a OS loader from the hard drive, however I have no documentation, and the Unix OS itself appears to have been wiped from it. Looking to contact anyone who knows anything about this system... I would love to find an OS installation set for it, but any information at all would be helpful.

Strange Keyboard (take 2)

by lyosnorezel＠yahoo.com

Look Sellam... I'm doing the best I can... I do have linux RH9... but I am unable to connect to the internet using that box because: a.)I live with me parents (temporarily), b.) me parents only know and understand Winblows, and are currently using Winblows XP, c.) they have an ISP of goddamn AOL, for the love of god... (somebody shoot them please), d.)I don't own a domain (no money to buy one with), e.)I'm not allowed to install any compression software... so I'm stuck with winzip f.)due to a fault in the scanning software, only bitmaps (.bmp) can be used. g.)aol's "homepage" setup gives out the username and due to me need to remain hidden I cannot abide by that. Yes my name is "Lyos Gemini Norezel" but me aol account has one hell of alot more information then just me name. h.)... beginning to get the idea? I could list the obstacles all damn day and still not finish So please... try not to criticize what you don't understand... me parents and I have been fighting too many times to count... all of them about these issues... particuarly about Winblows and AOL. Gimme a break alright? I'm trying... it's not as easy as one would like to believe. Lyos Gemini Norezel <-------Sellam Wrote:-----------------> Thanks for going to all that trouble but I still won't look at them until Lyos manages to get his act together. Sheesh.

monitor with screwed colour in bottom-right of screen

by julesrichardsonuk＠yahoo.co.uk

posted to sci.electronics.repair, but some of you guys might be able to help too... I've just been given a nice Iiyama 21" screen for free which seems to run quite happily, with the exception that the colours are screwed in the bottom-right inch or so of the display; the same sort of effect that would be achieved by holding a big magnet in that corner of the screen. Degaussing seems to have variable effect; sometimes it almost cures it and sometimes it just makes it worse, but it never goes away. Any ideas what might be up with it? Or is it a mechanical fault (i.e. the picture tube just shot)? Also, is this something that will get worse now it's started? If not, I could almost live with replacing the 17" screen on my desktop PC with this one, as the 17" is getting a little fuzzy and at least this 21" screen has a crisp display even if there is a bit of colour damage right in the corner... cheers Jules
