I have to disagree. There are many instances where you want the component
flush. For example, an RF can - don't want the leg to touch. Same for a
daughter board. Or a PCB that fits into a tight case. And so on.
Flush cutters are an extremely useful tool and you want one that give a
clean sharp cut with damaging the surface of the PCB. It's the same
principle as using a saw with no tooth offset to trim a dowel pin - cut but
don't damage.

The drive in my Tandy Model 6000 has +5, +12 and +24 connected to it (pins 5, 4, and 1). The schematic in the service manual I have shows 4 as NC and a 7812 providing the 12v from the 24v line. The specs for the drive in the service manual do not mention +12 on pin 4 at all. The scematic at bitsavers isn't a lot of help.
I don't have the drive here in front of me. Does anyone have one where they can verify the connections from the AMP power connector to see if pin 4 actually goes anywhere on theirs?
interested in 1 as long as theyre not on the west
coast.

I just read your message of July 21 to Jim Kearney looking to purchase an
IBM Displaywriter.
I am the owner of two IBM Displaywriters w/a shared printer and desire to
find a home for them.
Are you still interested or know of anyone who has an interest?

Hi,
My wife would be eternally grateful if you could email a copy of the above. She loves this calculator, but can't find the manual for it anywhere in the house!
Regards,
Jeff.

Let's just say that you've mellowed quite a bit since the 90s.

The "really off-topic" stuff I'm talking about are the current cards-
those Suns are outside of my budget. Creator was mid to late '90s and
was the first Sun 24-bit midrange option (I don't think there were any
8-bit UPA graphics options).
GP2 was, I think (don't have one) a single 9-U VME board that attached
to the CG9 via a private bus on the P2 or P3.
CG13 looks to be unaccelerated based on anecdotal evidence.
Does anyone know if the S24 (SS5 AFX framebuffer) was accelerated?
This doesn't cover 3rd party products, either
Well, since the MSX subject seems to be fine here, anyone up to a
brazilian MSX showing using webcast on weekend? Maybe I can organize a "MSX
SHOW", showing the brazilian computers and some brazilian hardware.

So I get this pair of free SS20s today at the weekly geek lunch at the
Chinese restaurant down the street - one nice, clean one, and one
that, um... well... was corroded inside due to an unfortunate meeting
with a dog, I'm told. I stripped down the soiled unit before I even
got home to recover a (clean) 1"-tall Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM, two (clean)
SM50 processor modules, and a mixed pile of DIMMs with some corrosion
on the fingers. The motherboard was a total loss, as was the chassis.
I have washed and brushed the SIMMs, a mix of 8MB and 32MB - not sure
about a couple of them, but most seem to be visually intact. I was
planning on an alkalai wash before testing them.
The other box being clean made it a good candidate to boot up... it
had a single SM50 (now two), 48MB of RAM, a TGX framebuffer, and an
internal SCSI drive of a type I'd never seen before. I had to google
it - an ST5660NC. I was surprised to confirm that even though it was
an SCA-connector drive, it was a whopping 545MB, and *narrow* (thus
the "NC"). I didn't know anyone made a) SCA drives below 1GB, and b)
narrow SCSI SCA drives. I think the drive bracket is probably one of
the most expensive things in the box, really.
I think there was some recent list traffic about using an SS20 as,
essentially, an X terminal with that optional internal frame buffer,
but since I don't have one, I'm thinking "headless server". Not as
powerful as the cheapest of "haul-it-away" commodity boxes, but
substantially more robust. At least I'd expect this box to stay up
for 6 months at a time.
At least it runs Solaris 9.
