Hi! There is a community project at vintage-computer.com forums to convert
IDE drives to SCSI interface to support legacy computers like Amiga, Mac,
Atari, etc.
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?22906-SCSI-1-to-from-
IDE-drive-converter
The initial batch of prototype PCBs have arrived. Please contact me if
interested in working on the SCSI2IDE project.
Thanks and have a nice day!

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the most critical part of designing a data center: security.
The amount of money involved dictates that all details on a data center be closely guarded. Think about the income from ads for Google or selling music on iTunes. Or retailers like eBay or Amazon.
Thus information on data centers are the crown jewels for these companies. No way are they going to share this information. The secrecy has reached a point that they will not even acknowledge what country that many of these centers are in, let alone what building.
Most have reached the point the military took years ago: no hardware is ever returned to a vendor for repair. It is destroyed on site, never returned for warrenty.
Setting up a large data warehouse is a dark arcane science limited to a select few engineers. And the world of the cloud computing will take this secret keeping to another level of paranoia.

OK... today I discovered the real-time-clock on my 11/23+ was dead, so
TSX-Plus wouldn't run properly. I tracked it down to a bad LM339
comparator (inside the chassis power supply, of all places).
Miraculously, my local Radio Shack actually had one in stock and it is
now working again :)
The RL02 pack has RT-11 V4.00 and *two* versions of TSX-Plus on it.
The files with the expected .SAV suffix are version 5.0, but there
were also several .NEW files (including TSXMOD.NEW even though there
was no TSXMOD.SAV). When I run the new TSX-Plus it's version 6.16.
Unfortunately both versions are expecting a DL serial line card, not a
DH, and they are not interchangeable as far as drivers. And (of
course) LINDEF and DHVDEF are two of the short list of parameters that
cannot be patched via TSXMOD, but require regenerating the system :(
I was hoping to find the distribution files on the pack (such as
TSGEN.MAC) but no such luck. So it sounds like I need a new copy of
the TSX-Plus distro files... like the hobby-licensed 6.5 :)
Jerome H. Fine, would you please contact me offlist if you can help?
I've also emailed Lyle Bickley but I haven't seen him on the list in
quite a while.
thanks for any and all assistance.

Hi
I have an ASR33 that is similar. I've just not had time
to tinker with it.
When I got it, it seemed to be missing the power board
for the reader. I finally made one with a piece of
vector board.
I had the machine and stand shipped in two packages.
I'd not opened the stand because I had't finished
fiddling with the unit.
I needed to make a little more space and guess
what I found in the box for the stand. you guessed
it, the supply board for the tape reader.
The H plate is easy to do, jammed on the end of
a screw driver blade.
