Does anyone out there have at least a schematic of a Qume DT-8 drive? My
favorite just packed up--no read, no write, but positions and loads the
heads just fine.
Bitsavers appears to have the 242 and 842 QT drives online, but not the
DT-8.
Cheers,
Chuck
Anyone have a PDF of an Emulex UC13 Manual? If so, please email me a copy. If
it's too big for your email system, let me know and I can pick it up from
your ftp site or I'll point you to an upload ftp site.
Cheers,
Lyle

I used to play around with one of these.
I am eager to find out any more information (or even find one for my
collection!)
We sold them and I became friends with the designer Ian Hirscholn. He later
wrote an article in Dr. Dobbs about a version of his OS running on a pc, it
was called PORT

I fixed mine my cleaning off the goo and sliding a
thick piece of surgical tubing over the pinch roller.
I had to strech the tubing quite a bit, but it works
just fine. I have heard other people use o-rings but I
don't know they keep them on.

Hey, so I'm glad that I read a web page (can't
remember the URL,
sorry... linked from the Nike Missile site, I think)
about
refurbishing deteriorated parts in old machines. I
bought a 2648A
main unit (would love a keyboard for it, if anyone has
an extra) and
opened it up last night. The tape drive capstans have
turned to a
puddle of goo! So I figure that if I ever want the
tape drive to be
in working order, that I need to:
i) remove the goo
ii) recreate/replace the capstan
Does anyone have a unit with an intact capstan that
could give me
physical dimensions? I doubt anyone has a repair kit
that would
include the capstan, but that would certainly be
welcome! Aside from
the capstans and a little dust inside the case, the
internals look
fine. The case has a small crack in one corner, but
otherwise appears
in typical condition for its age. This thing is
basically a
microcomputer... when I used them back in 1979, I had
no idea that
there was this much electronics inside the thing!
I do have the user manual from bitsavers, but it
doesn't go into
repair stuff, just installation (which is how I
figured out how to
open the case) of options.
As always... thanks!

Richard,
I realize I'm probably a little later but non the less, I'm interested
in those Vt 320 Terminals that you mentioned. If by chance they are
still available pls drop me a line or call. Thanks.

Grrr..... I know that prices can change and can be negotiated, but it
irks me when people put "Price = Call" all over their web site for
*every* single item on it. Why bother to do that? Either publish a
price or don't, but don't try to pretend you're publishing a price
when you have no intention of doing so.

Hey, I know some of you are in upstate New York... i've got something (IBM
gear) that I want to get, which demands pickup-only in Albany. Is anyone
willing to help with arranging freight shipping for that? The stuff needs to
probably be palletized, banded, and shrink wrapped- should be 2 pallets of
stuff (3 units)- and possibly dropped off at a freight depot.
Contact me off-list if you're willing to help.
Thanks,
Pat

Hmmm, I can do that with MS-DOS; what am I missing?
