by vax9000＠gmail.com

I need a system disk badly. I posted on some news groups but got no answer. If you have one, would you please make a system disk for me? I will appreciate it and pay your cost. vax, 9000

RK04's

by aek＠bitsavers.org

Oops, now that my memory is returning, the RK02 was the same geometry but half-density. RK02 carts say "1100BPI", RK05 carts say "2200BPI". Was there a RK04? == page 1-1 of the RK11-C manual (RK11-C_manual1971.pdf) "The high-density option provides a choice of either the RK03 Diablo Disk Drive Unit or the RK05 DECpack Unit, both utilizing the RK03-KA, IBM Type 2315 12 sector high-density disk cartridge. The low-density option provides a choice of either the RK02 Diablo Disk Drive Unit or the RK04 DECKpack Unit, both utilizing the RK02-KA IBM Type 2315 12-sector low density disk cartridge". low density is 12 256 byte sectors (1100 bpi) high density is 12 512 byte sectors (2200 bpi) both are 203 cyls, 2 tracks. I can't imagine there were many RK04's made..

Diablo 30 power

Now I understand they are indeed RK01s. -- DEC never sold Pertec drives, though lots of third parties did. They most often showed up as Plesey add-ons. What you probably have is some variant of the D4000. They came as fixed/removable, just removable, 2315 front-load or 5440 top-load packs. The 2315 flavor was compatible to RK05's, 5440's were 5mb. Just checked, I have the D4000 service manual scanned, but it isn't up on bitsavers. I'll see about getting that done. The disks have a "-8" designation on the edge, where the RK05s have the -16. So I am guessing they are half the density of an RK05 pack? I am still trying to get these to work. Something happened during transport. The drives operate somewhat, although a bit flaky at times it seems. It could be something with the controller too. I am waiting to receive the hardcopy of the rest of the documents for this to figure out the problem. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Damaged IBM 5225 Printer parts available

by brother_cadfael＠juno.com

This morning at work (auto repair shop) the scrap metal guy drove buy with this printer on the back of his truck. I did not get to it before one of my techs had gutted it for the cabinet. I was able to save the printer carriage assembly, what I think is the logic unit, and the power supply unit with the copper ribbon conductors intact. Are these parts worth saving, and if so, is anyone here interested? The power supply weighs in at 61kg's the printer isn't light either, maybe 20kg's so shipping is probably not practical. I can only hold them for a week or two due to a lack of space here at the shop. Thanks for any advice. Brian Hanson brother_cadfael at juno.com

HP1000 A700 - what can I do with it?

by aek＠bitsavers.org

you appear to have an HP 1000 A-series and a 7914 disc/tape combo. in theory, you should be able to boot from the disc, assuming there is anything left of it since the heads probably weren't locked when it was moved. the software would have been loaded from the 1/4 cartridge tape but it doesn't look like you got any of those. it would be a good thing to read those HP 1/2 distribution tapes that go with the other system. jotting down what's written on the labels will reveal addtional clues on how the systems were used. they were probably running RTE-A on the A700 and some version of 6VM on the 1000Fs -- I may have the A-series CE manual. A and L series are sort of new relative to the manual archive that was saved.
