Hi All,
Available are three binders with
PC Support/36 User Guide
PC Support/36 Technical Reference
PC Support/36 Organizer
and some manuals for the 3197 model D terminal.
Thanks,
Fred
Hi all,
In the pile of stuff-to-sort, I found some Honeywell manuals. Is
anyone on here interested?
Cheers,
Fred

Over the next ten days or so, I'll be dumping several bits of old
network equipment in the skip at work, and thought I'd see if anyone
here might want any of it. Before you get too excited, some of it
"needs attention", ie is faulty :-)
Firstly, there's a pile (20 or so) of Emulex Performance 4000 32-port
terminal servers. Not sure exactly which model, but I know that all
the ones I have boot over the network (we used DECnet but BOOTP/TFTP
should work just as well if set it up properly). You can get firmware
and other stuff from Emulex's FTP site (I just checked).
Each has 32 MMJ serial ports, a 10base2 BNC, 10base5 AUI, and possibly
a parallel printer port. I can provide a bundle of short MMJ-to-RJ45
cables for each, if required. Unfortunately almost all are "dead".
The common fault is a blown power supply -- they used to die regularly
-- and probably not hard to fix if you have relevant
experience/knowledge. The power supply is a 3-rail 60W circuit board,
not unlike an industry-standard 3" x 5" unit, but slightly larger, so
you might be able to persuade a standard unit to fit (spec is 5V @ 6A,
+12V @ 1.5A, -12V @ 1.0A).
The other pile I'm chucking contains a quantity of 10baseT 3Com FMS II
hubs, some with management units, some without. Most are 24-port but
some are 12-port. There should also be some 3Com PS II 40 hubs, all of
which have on-board management, and all of which are 24-port. All are
19"-rack-mountable, and have a serial port (except the ones without
management). The FMS units can accept one transceiver module in the
back; the PS II 40s can accept two, and we have some spare modules (not
sure what, but probably a few 10base5 AUI ports, one or two 10base2
with BNC connector, and some FOTs (10baseFX Fibre Optic Transceivers
with ST connectors). The older ones aren't very exciting as hubs but
are a useful source of Astec 40W (no, not 60W) 3-rail 3"x5" PSUs.
Lastly, I have an HP LaserJet 5M printer with optional 500-sheet Tray 3
and a 10base2/10baseT/Appletalk network interface, in good condition.
This is the only item I want a monetary contribution for: make me a
(small) offer.
These are PICK UP ONLY -- I haven't time or resource to ship things --
and must go within 10 days. They're "free to a good home" but without
any manuals (unless you're extremely lucky) and with absolutely no
warranty or even guarantee of electrical safety. If you want some of
this stuff, please contact me off-list.

This last weekend just gone I helped a mate sort out the dashboard
wiring in his 'new' ?400 Fiat. This wiring was mostly a mess of short
lengths of twisted together cable and melted adhesive insulting tape
due to many home modifications in its life. I did ask him to get a
service manual that included a circuit diagram but on the day we were
still without and, after the usual disclaimers about working without
docs, I went about fixing what was there.
Not only did I fix the wiring, the dashboard lighting and the clock I
installed a CD player (into the hole where most of the wires had been
hanging from) and a cigarette lighter socket so he could use his in car
charger for his phone. All went well, the dash was re-assembled, the
CD player worked, the phone charged and all the lights lit. Then my
mate got out his cigarettes and pressed the lighter home....
Eventually we realised the noise we could just hear over the somewhat
loud Metallica Black album was the rear screen wiper swishing back and
forth across a dry screen.

Someone here - not me - closed an earthing VCB on to the live 11KV board.
That made sure the power was off as it tripped the bus section and both
the remote and local incomer breakers.

Nice descriptions. It's good to know I've been doing it right for
years even though I didn't know the terminology. The last image
on the page is also how we attach silicone water pipes to the brass
fittings in the transmitters. We can't use metal clamps as they get
too hot from the RF and melt the external pipe braid.
It's also the way potato peeler blades are, or used to be, fixed to
the handles.

Hi,
I think this is covered by the 10 year rule, since it concerns pre-windows
stuff.
I am looking for the DOS_SOCK.LIB file. Its a library for developing
programs with sockets, for DOS. I found the following ref in the Microsoft
site:
> MS-DOS TCP/IP for Lanman 2.2c and Microsoft Network Clients 3.0
> support DOS Socket application and WinSock 1.1 application. Sockets.exe
> in MS-DOS TCP/IP is a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program;
> it allows MS-DOS socket applications to run if they've been written
> with the Microsoft TCP/IP Sockets Development Kit Version 1.0, using
> the DOS Socket Library (DOS_SOCK.LIB) available in the Development
> Kit.
I can't find the "Microsoft TCP/IP Sockets Development Kit Version 1.0"
on the Microsoft web site, so I am wondering whether somebody may have
a copy left over.

Hi All,
Apart from the motorola x86 qbus system, I also picked up a 11/73 in a
BA11-SA
chassis. Apart from having a noisy fan, it starts to the ODT.
On looking at the cards, I noticed it had an emulex controller. I assumed it
woulf be for a mfm disk, But on closer inspection, it appears to be a
SC0310201-BX, Which and is for SMD disks.(emulates RH11,RM02,RM03,RM05, and
RP06. The pdp didn't come with any disks, and I'll probably stick an esdi or
RD disk in it, should I not find a suitable disk :-(
Assuming I can hunt up a disk, I can't seem to locate a manual on bitsavers,
or anywhere. The only manuals I located were for unibus controllers
Anybody out there have a manual they could photocopy/sell., etc
Cheers
Tom

What do you do when Life gives you lemons,
and you don't *like* lemonade?????????????
Robert,
I ran across a message of yours from late February of last year
regarding an A&J MicroDrive. Did you ever find any useful information
about it? I don't have one, but I've just started looking. I pulled my
TS 2068 out of the attic last weekend and have been sort of
rediscovering it.
Anyhow, it's good to see that people are still using these old things.
:) I've had my 2068 since I was about 16.
Thanks...
