PCI Floppy controller wanted

by Watzman＠neo.rr.com

Ok, anyone know where I can get a PCI floppy controller that will work on a modern PC (Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading)? The Asus P4T533 only supports a single floppy drive (it's sister board, the P4T533-C, supported two). Barry Watzman Watzman at neo.rr.com

Your answer is not completely clear in this > respect (anyway, the way I read it= Yes, that is for the cable provided with an Overland Data TX-8. What's the "blue" adapter? I've never heard of any Overland Data Pertec controllers besides the TX-8 and the TXi-16 before. Did the same company really use the same connector for the same purpose but a different pinout? allan -- Allan N. Hessenflow allanh at kallisti.com

This might be Readex Microprint technology. I've never seen an example of Readex output, although the company is a few miles from me and used to be a microfiche customer. I do know they got significant storage reduction compared to paper.

Snoopy calendars/ASCII art

I remember these! I made a printout too. I also remember taking typing classes in high school (1977) and the teacher had training books that would create a text picture if you followed the directions correctly. I wish I had them as I'd like to do some ASCII art.

New stuff (HP9000)

by jondjohnston＠hotmail.com

Pete, I saw your posting on Classic Computers. Do you still have your HP 9040 and/or 9050? Would you be interested in selling or trading? Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Jon Johnston HP Computer Museum http://www.hpmuseum.net

PCs that support only one floppy drive in hardware

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

A simpler way to beat the only one floppy problem. Find a PCI floppy/IDE card and disable the onboard controller. Simple fix. I used that fix at work to solve a problem mother board that lost all floppy control due to lightining/power transient. Since everything else worked and I needed to get to other problem systems that was a good fix. Allison

System 23 Data Master information

by wayne.smith＠charter.net

There were two varieties of System 23/Datamaster: (i) the all-in-one model - the frequently seen 5322; and (ii) the seldom seen tower model, the 5324. The 5324 came in three or four pieces: a CPU unit, with our without floppy drive, a monitor, a keyboard and external floppy drive unit (if the CPU unit lacked a floppy drive). Both units could also be coupled with a 5347 hard drive, which came in either 23 or 37 MB sizes housed in a heavy (110 lb.) cabinet. I have never owned a complete 5324, but I once had a monitor unit from the 5324 from which I removed the display module to replace a burned out one in my 5322, which was basically the same except for the connector. I displayed my 5322 at VCF 5 and 6. (http://www.vintage.org/pictures/VCF%206.0%20-%20Wayne%20Smith%20Exhibit .jpg) Although I don't have a 5324, I have full documentation on it, the necessary disks to get it to work, etc. The yellow user binders that Al Kossow sent you the pictures of were essentially the same for the 5322 and 5324 except that Volume 1 varied slightly depending on which unit you owned. I have both versions. -W > Date: Sun, 09 Oct 2005 07:45:16 -0500 > From: Shannon Spurling <shannon068 at centurytel.net> > Subject: System 23 Data Master information > To: General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only <cctech at classiccmp.org> > Message-ID: <434910DC.9020206 at centurytel.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > Hi, I'm new to the list, but not new to classic computers. > I picked up a rare beast (Apparently) years ago when I bought > a System > 23 tower system at a thrift shop years ago, and it's been > sitting in my > basement for a few years after a rough life in makeshift > storage.
