Came out of an SA600 rack where it was probably feeding RA90s. Model
# is 881A. Sent to you for the cost of shipping from 60074.
Also have the companion UPS for it, which is of course really heavy.

All:
There's a posting over at Erik's VC Forum from someone with some
vintage HP color samples, complete with documentation:
http://www.vintage-computer.com/vcforum/showthread.php?23397
I don't know if they're of interest, but I figure that it's more
likely that vintage HP folks are more likely to hang out here.
FWIW,

I have a VT220 as the console terminal for my PDP-11/23+, running at
19200 baud. For the occasions when I want to print something, I have
connected a KSR43 Teletype (300 baud) to the VT220 printer port. It
works well, if slowly, after straightening out the usual RS232 control
line issues.
Is there a keyboard sequence to turn the printer on and off, without
going into the VT Setup menu? (If I just turn off the TTY it hangs the
VT220, presumably waiting for a RTS/CTS). I can't find the VT220
User's Guide online and the available Installation (and Technical)
manuals don't seem to have any discussion.
thanks
Charles

FWIW, there was a period about the turn of this century when most of
Maxtor's production was a single disk drive with only one side used. In
addition to saving the head assembly there were enuf other cost savings to
make it worthwhile. One example is that it is relatively easy to
load/unload a bottom head on the ID, thereby making the higher capacity OD
real estate available.

Yes, you can own a piece of computing history. Jay West - the man, the
myth, the legend - has spent a few cycles using THIS equipment. What we
have here folks is a working, rack mounted, HP 9000 K class box. At
least it was working when we shut it down 5 years ago. My memory is a
bit fuzzy, but I believe that all of the processor slots were filled and
it may have been maxed out on ram as well. Peripherals include: (2) HP
6000 SCSI SX-W rackmount enclosures each with 4 gig scsi drives. There
is a 3rd drive bay - but I forgot to write the model down. It is larger
(8u) than the SX-W boxes. A second HP rack contains (2) Surestore E
disk array 12H (also known as AutoRAID) -- each with 12 drives. They
appear to be a mix of 4, 9 and 18 gig drives. At least that is what is
marked on the drive caddies. Completing the lot is a Citoh 800Q printer,
and a Printronix MVP printer.
If you act fast, I'll even throw in not one, not two but (3) DTC 72MX's
AND all the cabling! I also may have all of the original, printed
documentation to go along with this treasure. With a deal like this, how
can you refuse?
All offers, reaonable and unreasonable accepted.
Location: St. Louis.
If someone doesn't want this, e-recycling is the next stop.
Hi,
I am purchasing a piece of manufacturing equipment from Wisconsin
and I'm located in New York. Unit is a cabinet styled device, roughly
the same as a Vax 11/750 unit, about 300 lbs.
Anyone doing any runs in the Midwest<-->North East anytime soon,
otherwise I'll have to call a freight carrier, but I prefer someone on
the list who knows how to properly handle larger size electronic devices.
Thanks,
Curt
I would love to get EPROM images for a CMD CQD-220A/223A with the Tape
AND Disk function in my inbox.
Currently only having the Tape OR Disk function and really keen to do
the brain surgery.
The results Glen found recently are promising and I'm quite positive to
successfully modify my controller as well.
Does anyone have a CMD CQD-220A/TM or CQD-223A/TM and an EPROM
programmer
or other means of reading the EPROM images that could send me a copy?
Your help is highly appreciated
Thanks & Regards.

I'm looking at my aging desktop machine and realize that its replacement
probably won't have a native floppy interface, so I started thinking about
the super-powered USB-floppy interface previously discussed here. I
forgot what it was called, so I stumbled across this page:
http://www.deviceside.com/. I quickly figured out what I wanted was the
Discferret. Does anyone know anything about this anemic alternative?
This led me to some more questions:
1) Can the Discferret handle flippies?
2) Can I daisychain two drives to a single Discferret?
3) How much more work would it be to make a Discferret talk to an 8-inch
drive?
I'd buy one or two now, but finances aren't that great right now.
