by g-wright＠att.net

Thanks everyone well I was trying to write with a corupt tape image file. I guest it was too late at night for the brain cells..... tried another file and it worked fine. I had been reading a lot of bad tapes that where sticking on the rollers as they reverse I thought I had deleted all of the bad files but I must have missed one. The file was Only was 8k in size ?? - Jerry

Emulex QD34 question

by pat＠computer-refuge.org

So, I've got a question about the Emulex QD34 QBUS SMD controller (yes, like the one on ebay right now, which the seller claims is "SCSI"). It appears to have a S-BOX mounting bracket/dist panel on it, with some annoying "inverted" high-density connectors on it (like the HD50 connectors used for DSSI). I'm wondering if it's possible to pull the bracket off the card, and if there's some sane-looking IDC connector headers (like the normal 20 and 60 pin ones on an SMD drive) that one can get to. Thanks, Pat -- Purdue University ITAP/RCAC --- http://www.rcac.purdue.edu/ The Computer Refuge --- http://computer-refuge.org

ebay seller "dlcs3"

by evan＠snarc.net

Yeah, we're in the process of checking that out here in Jersey. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Finnegan <pat at computer-refuge.org> Subj: ebay seller "dlcs3" Date: Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:53 pm Size: 611 bytes To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Has anyone here noticed this guy on ebay, claiming to have a "warehouse" of stuff in New Jersey? I know that's relatively close to some other MF nuts on this list (well, much closer than Indiana, anyways) so I though I'd see if anyone had gone to see what he had in his "warehouse". The stuff he has listed right now doesn't look all that interesting, but it's hard to tell from the dark, small pictures of smoked plexiglass rack doors, what's inside the rack...

Unibus SMD controller available?

by pat＠computer-refuge.org

I'd like to pick up a UNIBUS SMD controller for a project I'm working on, Emulex would be best, but other brands are acceptable. MSCP support would probably be the easiest to work with, and support of E-SMD isn't required but would be a nice extra. :) Pat -- Purdue University ITAP/RCAC --- http://www.rcac.purdue.edu/ The Computer Refuge --- http://computer-refuge.org

Seattle-area computer recycler.. saves classic hardware?

by feedle＠feedle.net

I don't know if this has been mentioned or noticed by members of this list, but I got a pleasant surprise the other day when I stopped by the Re-PC store near Southcenter. Sometime in the last few months, they seem to have started pulling out the "best" of the junk and (most importantly) keeping it as complete as they got it. When I was there earlier this week, they had a C-16 _IN THE BOX_, a couple of complete VIC-20 systems (including disk drive, printer, datasette), a couple of Apple //c's, two shelves of software, and another shelf of various accessories (a lot of Atari 8-bit stuff, oddly enough no Atari 8-bits). Prices were reasonable.. I think, for example, the complete VIC-20 systems were going for $30-$40. Somebody who knows something about classic equipment is obviously working there, as the stuff is getting as close to the "white glove" treatment as you could possibly give it in that environment. I did not see anything similar in the other Re-PC store "downtown". Just something interesting to share...
