Some older HP instruments (and I think other manufactorers) used a 3-pin
power connector with round pins, not the flat pins used on the now-common
IEC plug. I've seen this connector used on older HP9100s, HP5245
counters, and on the 9125 I at ve just bought.
Does anyone know if the cables to fit said plug are still available, and
if so, where? I don't care what's on the other end of the cable (bare
wires are fine), but I would want it to stand UK mains
[For all the seller cleaerly showed the right cable in the E-bay listing,
and for all he said the power cable was included, it wasn't. Apparently
he lost it in a warehouse move. OK, there things happn, but I still need
to get one ot power up said plotter).

Got myself an IBM RS/6000 N40 laptop (made by Tadpole -- looks identical
to the Sparcbook 3 externally) and I'm looking for OS media for it. I
believe this runs AIX 3.2.5, and that's about it. Currently there's
some version of AIX installed (the login prompt just says "3") but of
course I don't know any usernames/passwords. (If there's a way to reset
the password that doesn't require an AIX OS CD, that would be useful as
well...)
Thanks,

Hey.
I picked up a freebie CBM/PET 8032 system with dual disk drive and Z80 board
a few weeks ago. It didn't power up. I put it on my workbench and opened
"the hood" to suddenly find out that the CRT was not secure, because it hit
my workbench neck first, and broke the clear glass at the end of the tube. I
was wondering if it is possible to find a replacement tube. Could I somehow
(on a really long shot) get a same sized CRT from a black&white TV to fit
inside and work?
Any advice or suggestions very appreciated.
Thanks

Re: "If you mean the power supply fan, then that means nothing in the 5150
(AC fan?)"
That's not true. The fan is run on DC from one of the outputs (12 volts, I
think, but it might be 5 volts). So a working fan is a good sign. But an
entire output voltage can still be completely dead.

Those of you who are in on the logic probe case group buy I organized will
be pleased to read that the cases have arrived. They should arrive in
their new owners' hands in a week.
