I've got a couple of old Panasonic lasers (KX-P4450i (PCL) and KX-
P4455 (PS)); circa early 1990s. Heavy battleship construction;
separate toner (i.e. out of a bottle, no cartridges). They keep
going and going--but lately I've been using the cheap ($100 on a good
day) Brother lasers. Great print quality, miserly toner usage (and
easy to refill carts) and they don't dim the lights when the fuser
comes on. After 3 years on my "short" HL-4050 cartridge with the
toner lamp blinking, I finally refilled it with toner I bought 2
years ago.
Problem now is what to do with old Panasonics--they use Moto 68K
processors internally and have a great deal of nice mechanical
components--and AppleTalk interfaces as well as serial and parallel.
Probably recycle them, I guess. No inclination to fool with the
innards.
I'd love to find a good deal on an HP LJ 5si. That 11x17 print
format would come in handy.
Cheers,
Chuck

Good hit on that one. Those are reliable and #6 is dirt cheap as
they are still useable.
Also it will work with a lot of the non-pC systems that had centronics
or similar inerfaces with minor connector-wire matching.

Hi,
I aquired a HP 6942A Multi programmer unit some time ago and like to play
with it, but I don't have a manual.
Except a partial service manual with can be downloaded and a app-note form
the HP- museum.
Question does some one has the manuals for this 'beast' paper or pdf ?

A quick check of the DZV11 and DHV11 user guides,
as well as physical inspection of the same panels here
would indicate that your panel is NOT meant for either
of those boards.
Checking both the DZ11 maintenance manual,
and the DZ11 technical manual, I see references
to the drawing that you mentioned.
Further, searching for "54-11928-00" on yahoo returns
at least one website that identifies it as a DZ11 distirbution panel.

(Search for 54-11928)
There is also a picture of the H317 panel in the maintenance manual,
but nothing definitive.

> First, the questions: does anybody know what happened to AFIPS Press?
AFIPS was an association of computer associations, including IEEE and ACM.
ACM is asserting copyright on the JCC volumes.
I just finished scanning CHM's collection of the proceedings for the ACM
digital libary, they are in the process of putting them on line.
I would check with ACM for permisssion to post, since CHM received permission
to post the entire collection on their web site in exchange for scanning them.

I've got some Atari 520's laying around and was wondering what it would take
to burn cdr's with them. I've seen ACSI to SCSI adapters (I'm assuming this
is necessary). Assuming I hook up a SCSI CDRW to this what software would I
need to burn disks. Is there an easier way perhaps using some kind of ide
adapter or a straight SCSI host adapter. Thanks.
Hi folks,
last night I took some 2006 dv footage and prepared it for youtube.
Perhaps some people here like to watch that blinkenlights stuff. I show compiling and running
a program on the machine. Not too detailed, but very nice moving images.

Comments strongly appreciated! :-)
Planning to do a more technical video another time.
Best wishes,

Hi,
I am trying to confirm whether a distribution panel is meant for a
DZ11. On the metal frame there is a tag with a part number of
70-16469. The circuit board has a part number of 5411928 5011927C.
The maintenance model references the H317E distribution panel and
suggests looking at drawing D-CS-5411928-0-1 printset for jumper
locations.
Does anyone have the printset for the DZ11?
Thanks.
