It's certainly possible that could be a problem, but I've been reading the
MSV11-D user's manual (it's on vt100.net) and it doesn't have a jumper to
disable the top page. Actually what it has is a jumper to _enable_ the
bottom 2K of the I/O page, so you can have a tiny bit of extra RAM in
systems without many I/O devices.
The MSV11 manual says only "factory configured modules will not respond to
bank 7 addresses..." and it then goes on to say how you can enable the lower
2K of bank 7 with the aforementioned jumper, but it's quiet about how it
decides what a bank 7 address is (i.e. does it monitor BBS7 or the address
bits?).
The only other jumpers on the MSV11-D are for battery backup and to select
the starting address.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I'm afraid I'm still puzzled...

I found one that is alive and well last summer in
Swakopmund, Namibia. Great combination of laundrette,
bar, and arcade. You can search the internet for
"Swakopmund Laundry" if you want more information.

Two DLT III cleaning tapes. One has been used once (on a clean drive),
the other is unused as far as I know.

Got myself an ancient external 400k mac floppy drive on the cheap that
I'd like to use on my 128k mac -- after cleaning out the old dried
lubricant and getting the drive mechanism running again, the drive works
but will only read/write disks that it has formatted, which leads me to
believe that the drive is out of alignment. How is alignment corrected
on these drives?
Thanks!

Hello Tom,
you do not really need the lom, just use the button on the back
to power it on.
You could also go to 'docs.sun.com' there's a ton of documentation.
Take a look at book '816-2756' this should bring you up to speed.
I use a V120, but it's been a while since I had to fiddle around
with the lom
Regards,
Ed

RSX uses the side effect of R0 being shown on the data bus on a WAIT
instruction as well.
And yes, I think you could get RSX running on an 11/05. I don't think
there was any PDP11 that couldn't run RSX, but it would be a rather
specific RSX you would gen for it. I doubt you could boot any generic
RSX system on that machine. Instead you would have to run the sysgen on
another machine, and just boot the resulting system on the 11/05.
Think unmapped RSX. That won't use any MMU. Still, you'd probably want
the full 56K on that machine.

New versions of RT-11 should do as well, as long as you select a variant
that don't need the MMU. Same goes for RSX, except that RSX won't be
self-hosting.

And RSX is something similar. Fool around a little, set up R0, and WAIT.
The clock interrupt would break you out.

Check current "hot thread" on _www.vintage-computer.com_
(http://www.vintage-computer.com) on disk drives starting with Tezza and his new Kaypro under
the Cp/M session
If you post there, there may be some who will gladly take them off of your
hands and preserve them and use them.
Early Kaypros of 1983-84 used Tandons.
I switched to Teacs after many frustrations using such a manual to try to
repair them and keep them running.
I post under GADFRAN
Chuck is looking for a Tandon 100-4M - I never heard of one, but you have a
Tandon 100-4 manual.- see below for those reading this email
Thanks for making them available for those who may need them, rather than
just the trash.

Are your chips DIP or PLCC? I ask because if you are using PLCC chips
with an adapter, you may have the wrong adapter. The pinout relationship
between DIP and PLCC is different for the 512Kb chips than it is for the 1
Mb chips. So a 32 pin PLCC to DIP adapter for 1 Mb flash will not work
with 32 pin PLCC 512Kb chip.
If it's not that, I can't help you. I'm not familiar with the ChipMax. I
use a Needham.
Oh, in general, make sure you have the correct make and manufacturer
specified. Some of the Flash chips have a reset pin which must be tied
high or they won't operate. Others don't, so getting the proper make and
model selected in your software can be essential to getting your
programmer to handle the reset pin properly (if present).
