I have a client in Ohio looking to get rid of (3) StorageTek Silos. Are
these things worth anything? If not, it's ALL yours! You'll just have to
dismantle and remove it your self. Anyone interested? Thanx.

Most likely they are date codes, especially if "XX" is never greater
than 52 :-).
There are some signetics and TI and NatSemi line driver/receiver parts
with 72xx and 73xx part numbers, though.
Tim.
Got a bunch of these parts, marked "8041016A" and with a Tandy logo (?), one
site listed them as DRAM, but does anybody know what they are?
16kx1, 4kx1? Something else?

I have a friend who is cleaning out his basement and has
some boards which have a number of 72XX, 73XX, and 74XX
parts on them. I'm not familiar with the 72 and 73, but
I'm guessing they are unobtainium at this point. If someone
is interested in these, they are available for the cost
of shipping...

Do you mean the "kittyhawk"? It was a mini IDE, similar to today's 2.5" laptop HD.
If you mean something else, ignore the reset of this message.

If it was a mini 40 pin, then it is PROBABLY IDE. See:
http://www.homebrewcpu.com/hp_kittyhawk_1_3_microdrive.htm
for reference
I quote:
The Kittyhawk can be used via a 2.5" IDE cable adapter (commonly used to adapt notebook hard drives to desktop systems). There is a significant warning, though. You MUST NOT plug the drive in backwards. Modern drives can typically survive being put in backwards. The Kittyhawk, though, will not. If you plug it in backwards, it will be destroyed.
Not the warning too. Don't plug it in wrong!
> The next question is, what's the "SS/80 Command Set" ?
Sorry, I misunderstood. It looks like SS/80 is the HPIB command set used
by the 9153, and not the actual interface to the drive itself.
The only document which seems to talk about the actual drive is this one
http://www.hpmuseum.net/document.php?hwfile=2723
And sadly it's a bit light on any details.

I'm starting the process of clearing out my basement. Right now, an
item of interest to some may be a Cromemco Dazzler board set I have on
eBay, auction 220006408118.
Also available is a Digital Research CP/M Gold Card for the Apple II and
IIe (220006405859), NIB.

Does anybody have any documentation for the HP Nighthawk 20mb drive? It's
got a custom 40 pin interface that's neither IDE, SCSI nor ST506. Even a
pin out would be helpful, and a manual would be wonderful!
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
