I don't think it's silicon dioxide, though. I've often seen the effect
you describe; it seems to happen when the wash cycle is hot and I think
it's mainly the harshness of the detergent.

Hi
Botulism toxin has nothing in it that isn't already
in our bodies but a tiny fraction of a drop would kill
hundreds. I used to play with balls of metalic mercury
on my bare hands ( it hasn't effected me much other than
the urge to collect old computers ). Like most things,
it isn't the parts that kill you it is the hold thing.

Hi
I've got an old HP 6286a bench supply. It's been sitting for a while
and I turned it on and discovered it seems to have no voltage regulation
- it gives out about 23VDC not matter what. The current regulation
seems to work however.
Anyone ever look inside of one of these? It looks like a nice supply
and I hate to toss it.
-brad
Hello Guy,
can you tell what type of switches those 4 are (2- or 3-position,
or momentary spring-loaded)? And which types the 6 ICs are?
- Henk, PA8PDP.

Great! Thanks Vince.
IIRC, I have also gotten the IOTs for the RF08 from Dough's
site, (and the 'tricky' ones like GTF and RTF), but somehow
I did not see this RX01 page!
I have printed those pages already to study them!

Hi all,
I finished the tests of the DOS for the CoreSYS 6809 with the 2793 FDC
extension board, and I figured that it would be nice if I can add that
floppy disk drive to the pdp8/e simulator that runs on the 6809!
See www.pdp-11.nl/homebrew/floppy/diskstartpage.html (at the end).
I will of course not be needing 'my' DOS (except the read/write sector
routines) as OS/8 will handle the file system for me.
However, I need the description of the (pdp8) IOTs for the RX01 device
to implement the floppy disk in the simulation. I have not been able
to find that on the web, so I don't even know how difficult implementing
those IOTs will be. For example, the real disk sector size is just 128
bytes, which would mean (in pdp8 emulation) that the 'virtual' sector
size is 64 words. It is likely that I need some disk access translation
to read/write data, but the IOT descriptions will (hopefully) make that
clear.
Can anybody point me to where I can get the pdp8 RX01 IOT descriptions?
thanks,
- Henk, PA8PDP.

Well, my M2444AC came the the same power plug you're describing.
These round screwable plugs are definitely not standard ones.
When I found out that a connector (without soldered cable) for that plug would cost around 30 EUR (35$),
I just changed this special plug into a standard one with a littre bit of soldering.
Regards,
Pierre
