by billdeg＠degnanco.com

Hi One of my students was able to repair an AT&T 7300 (67MB version) UNIX PC powersupply. Now it boots up, but we don't have the username and password. Any suggestions? BillDeg

I found the TAB books to be uniformly low quality, both in production and content. I found enough fundamental errors in them that I never tried to build the actual machine, as I was prett sure it would not work, or, at least, it wasn't going to be more useful than grabbing data sheets and whipping it up myself.

Amiga A2065

by apat＠hol.gr

Ethan, I saw in a very old post of yours that you have a couple of A2065 around. I am interested in obtaining one (if they are still available) to use for my A1000. If not let me know if you know where I can source one. Alexander

There is a known working Z80 CP/M home brew computer with all hardware and software information published and freely available. PCBs are available for the SBC, an ECB backplane, and the recently verified working ECB bus monitor (sort of a Jade Bus Probe for ECB). There are some builder created videos of the ECB bus monitor in action here: http://www.hd64180-ecb.de/html/video.html Soon I will be having a Prototype board PCB manufactured and hopefully not too long after that I will be making a Disk IO board PCB available as well. There are numerous N8VEM builder projects in various states of completion ranging from the GIDE, LCD displays, SD reader/writers, wireless links, NVRAM, and various other things better described by the builders. If you are interested in building your own home brew computer please consider joining the N8VEM project. Thank you and have a nice day! http://groups.google.com/group/n8vem Andrew Lynch

HP4952A and HP4957A software

I have some software on TU-58-like tapes (for the 4951A ad 4951B), but no idea if a TU58 can be used to archive them. I have no 4952 software, but would love to have the terminal emulator package for it. I won't have access to my HP serial analyzers until December, but if it's possible to back up what I have, I think it should be saved and/or shared. If anyone knows how to generate 4952C diskettes, I'd love to hear about it. My understanding is that you can back up original software with the real hardware, but there's some form of simplistic DRM that prevents "sharing" application disks. -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-333-S Current South Pole Weather at 25-Oct-2008 at 11:40 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -59.8 F (-51.0 C) Windchill -88.5 F (-67.0 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 7.8 kts Grid 80 Barometer 674.0 mb (10855 ft) Ethan.Dicks at usap.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html

identify, and need any parts from old (ppro?) Unisys tower

by rescue＠hawkmountain.net

A friend of mine put in the dumpster before it goes and old Unisys tower. It is just a chassis. A big 'monster' for what appears to be an ATXish chassis. It has a huge power supply... with 3 connectors similar to ATX but in various sizes. It has 8 removable wide scsi trays and at the top had 3 or 5 5.25" bays and 1 3.5" floppy drive. The P/N within the front drive bay door is 91.58701.029 and the trays are 55.59903.031. I don't know what this is ? tried identifying it online, but no luck. Wonder if this could have been a 6x6 ? (in which case too bad the person he bought the case from gutted it) (he was going to use it for a PC case, but the huge power supply with custom wiring shelved the project for several years and now you can have a storage powerhouse in a smaller than regular ATX tower... so the behemoth went to the dumpster). If anyone can use these trays or power supply (or any other part >from the chassis (front plastic, etc)... let me know... figure $5 for 4 drive trays, $5 for the power supply... not sure what else anyone could use off it... (front plastic is good except for where someone tried to paint/etc over the Unisys logo). -- Curt
