building a machine room

by cheri-post＠web.de

Hello Richard, in order to get another impression of what it means to build a machine room, have a look at Bernd Ulmann's website: www.vaxman.de In the menum, click on museum, then on machine room (it's a link within the text). He writes alot about all the problems he got confrontated with while building and renovating his machine room. It's very interesting!

British Computers.

by RodSmallwood＠mail.ediconsulting.co.uk

I think the Blakes 7 computer may have been called ZEN. ORAC on Blakes 7 was a device that could predict the future.

Reviving DEC RX01 power supply

by oldcpu2＠rogerwilco.org

I've got a H771-A (120V/60Hz) that's acting up on me. Part of an old PDP-11/03 that I'm trying to get back on its feet. As I've done with 4 or 5 other RX units in the past couple of years, after cleaning it up and reforming the capacitors, but before plugging everything together, I wanted to check output voltages. I'm sure glad I did because this guy is not normal! Where you usually see 24V, I'm getting 42V! And the so- called 'Raw DC' which is normally around 10V is 17V. At least the +/-5V lines are more or less correct at +5.1V and -5.3V, respectively. I need some help here. I've checked the printset on this, and frankly, this analog stuff is so much voodoo (to me). I get lost pretty quickly unless the circuit is simple, say, like a flashlight. Anyway, I've checked a number of voltages and voltage drops at various places[1] that I thought might lead me to something, but I can't say that I'm any wiser now. I'm sure this is fixable, even by me, IF I can locate out the faulty component(s). Hints or guidance on what else I should look at would surely be appreciated! - Jared [1] Here are voltage readings taken at a few locations: - Transformer outputs (these look normal): blue: 27.8VAC purple: 11.2VAC - PCB connector P1: 2 (blu): -5.3v 3 (blk): 0v 4 (gry/red): 5.1v 5 (blk): 0v 6 (red): 42v (should be 24v!!!) - PCB connector P2: 1 (org): 17v (should be 9.5v!!!) 3 (blk): 0v 4 (gry/red): 5.1v 5 (blk): 0v - Voltage drop across: D5 15v Zener: 17v D11 6.8v Zener: 7v R12: 25v R13: 12v

eprom "dumping"

by chrism3667＠yahoo.com

as most of us know, the IBM PC and PC/AT (I think) have extra rom sockets. If you want to obtain a dump of an eprom, could you simply plug them into these spare sockets and use Debug or whatever to capture an image? Seems straitforward enough, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Luggage? GPS? Comic books?

holy crap, another Cat on ePay!

by dkelvey＠hotmail.com

> From: chrism3667 at yahoo.com> > AND NO PAYMENTS NECESSARY UNTIL 2008! WOOHOO!> > http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-CANON-CAT-WORK-PROCESSOR-Jef-Raskin_W0QQitemZ11…> > I might be selling mine soon. Need a house. Tired of> sleeping in the car LOL LOL LOL.> Hi You might want to hold off for a while. I suspect that the market is reaching saturation. There just aren't that many that are expecting to pay $600+ for a Cat. For those that are interested in hacking the Cat or writing another printer driver as I've done, look at the Cat info on the DigiBarn web page. I've been doing other hacking since then for anyone that is interested. I've found the video RAM and I'm thinking of creating some graphics functions. Right now I just have a simple XOR to each bit but I realize that a line drawing routine would be good as well. If someone on this group wants to talk offline about the Cat, let me know. It is a remarkable computer.

Belgian computers?

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

I have the opportunity to travel to Gent, Belgium, in about a month, and with all the recent talk of British computers, I wanted to ask the list if anyone knows if there were ever any Belgian-made computers. I'm mostly interested in 1980s micros, but any sort of machines would be germane. -ethan
