Hi, I have here on the table a slightly dusty TTi (Transitional Technology Inc) QTS-1 card. I'm hoping (really, really, hoping) that this is a QBUS SCSI controller, but I don't have any documentation and I haven't been able to find any in the usual places. It looks like it expects you to talk to it with a terminal for configuration - there's a 10 pin header next to the SCSI connector that's probably for a serial port, and there are absolutely no switches or jumpers anywhere. Does anybody know anything about it? Does it emulate a MSCP (e.g. RQDX) controller? Or (I hope not) does it require special drivers? Anybody got a manual for it? Thanks, Bob Armstrong

Tiny amounts of glycol occur naturally in some wines and help to give a smoother flavour. Someone decided that a little extra would be even better :-) -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Three lead neon lamps

by melamy＠earthlink.net

Hi James, look here http://www.electronicsurplus.com/commerce/catalog/spcategory.jsp?category_i… they would not be considered lamps. Look further under "gas surge suppressor" best regards, Steve Thatcher -----Original Message----- From: James Rice <jrice54(a)vzavenue.net> Sent: Jun 5, 2004 3:28 PM To: "cctalk@classiccmp" <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Subject: Three lead neon lamps I'm looking for a source for several three lead neon lamps. I purchased a Sgi Galileo video analog breakout box and two neon lamps on the PC board are broken. There are no makings on the lamps. I assume they are some kind of protective device. I've been browsing several lamps sites and have only seen two lead lamps. James
