I'll post a list of the docs as I go through them and see if anyone
wants to scan them and post them (Al?).
--
Will coordinate this with you offline. I have a lot of 8 material
scanned but not on line yet
Can someone explain the differences between the two
and why DEC offered two very different CPUs for the 8? Can I replace
simply the M8300/8310/8320/8330 cards with the M8315?
--
The M83xx set was the original Omnibus CPU (for the 8/e f and m)
It is slightly faster than the single-board version.
Does anyone have
a ROM emulator or other way to load the diagnostics without using a PT
reader?
--
They can be loaded though the tty interface. Easiest thing to do is
hook up a terminal program with unchecked binary download capability.
Anybody here work with or are big fans of Modicon programmable controllers?
(or are even collectors of same?)
Specifically the 984-series. Sorta on-topic as the modules I have date back
to 1993 and use Intel 80186 and 80188 uP chips, but PLCs are somewhat
off-topic here. I haven't heard of any PLC-specific email lists except for
a recently defunct one.
Please contact me off-list as I have some questions and am looking for
additional info.
Thanks, Chris F.

Does anyone have the service manual for the IBM 9348 9-track tape drive?
I'm trying to find out why mine is failing diagnostic test #1 (error code
6).
Thanks!

How slow is it? I Happen to run firefox on a P166 and also run it on
a P100 and its ok, slow to start but then fine.

Shame Offbyone (OB1) isn't availab;e for other platforms very fast
though very simple.

You may want to compare your drive to the documentation on the
HP 88780 under bitsavers/pdf/hp/tape
I looked at one on an AS400 a long time ago, and IBM appeared
to have OEMed the drive from HP.
It is also 1600/6250 only, and 88780s are pretty rough on
sticky tapes, so don't try using it on anything irreplacable.
