Joe, something to watch for in the boards are RL8/a controllers M8433 and cables BC80J They show up on eBay from time to time but go for a fair amount there.

PDP-8 CPU question

by aek＠bitsavers.org

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.

Modicon PLCs

by cfandt＠netsync.net

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.

by vcf＠siconic.com

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).

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

IBM 9348 9-track tape drive

by aek＠bitsavers.org

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.
