RK07 questions

by henk.gooijen＠oce.com

I did a few more tests with the RK07. As I did not have the correct bulkhead, I made one from a "decommissioned" RL02 drive. The socket to the cable is identical to the one for the RK07. As nothing seemed to work, I guessed that I might have the flatcable between the socket on the "bulkhead" and the RK611 controller (M7904 module) the wrong way around installed. So, I installed the flatcable the other way around on the bulkhead. I get quite different responses now! The command ".INIT DM0:" gives the response "?DUP-F-Error reading bad block replacement table DM0:" but the FAULT light is turned on! When I enter the command ".FORMAT DM0:", the FAULT light goes off, and I get the response as written in my previous post. When I enter "DIR DM0:" the FAULT light is turned on also. On many occasions the system hangs, although that is not apparent >from the front panel on the 11/34. But the system does not respond nor echo anything I type on the VT100 console terminal anymore. What is even more strange, is that when I repeat (after rebooting) the .INIT command or the .FORMAT command, is that I can see clearly the READY lamp flash off/on, and after a few more attempts, I can hear the movement, and *see* the whole drive "shake" (it still on its wheels and not on the rubber "feet"). I can even see the "A" lamp go on and off a few times, so that shows that the controller accesses the drive. Then the system hangs again. Can I conclude that the cable is now correctly connected from the RK611 controller -> bulkhead -> RK07 drive ? What could explain the symptoms that I see? - what can cause the system non-responsive (RT11 does not catch the error) - why does the execution of the command seems to get a step further every time I run them? thanks, - Henk. ________________________________ Van: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org namens Gooijen, Henk Verzonden: zo 22-01-2006 12:53 Aan: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Onderwerp: RE: RK07 questions I must make a correction to a remark I made on a reply of Tony.

Is the moderator of cctech on vacation or has that list been merged with this one? I've tried to subscribe twice and haven't yet received a single digest. My cctalk subscription succeeded the same day (obviously). Thanks, Bill Colorado Springs, CO __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Fuji 2444 tape drive power cord

by shoppa_classiccmp＠trailing-edge.com

Somebody here asked about the Fuji 2444 tape drive power cord in the past couple of months. Sweeping up my basement, I found an example, and for future reference the connector is made by AMP, and it has the numbers 8542 and 206037-2 on the locking ring. If anyone wants this cord, they can E-mail me with their shipping address and we'll work out getting it to them. I think the locking ring on this particular cord is missing part of the locking ring (although it seems to mostly be there and it still rotates like I'd expect.) Tim.

AMI S1427A clock chip? (in a Pernicka model 100-C Precision Chronometer)

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

Does anyone have a data sheet on an AMI S1427A clock chip? I have this Pernicka Corp 'Model 100-C' panel-mount clock (S/N C008). The clock itself is self-contained - runs off of a 9V battery, has two switches for setting the time and date, and is set in a nice round panel-mount housing. The PCB has just the chip (with a date code of 7728), 3 diodes, 2 resistors, 2 caps, a crystal and a trimmer. The S1427A drives a 4-digit unbuffered LCD panel. Thanks for any pointers, -ethan
