Hi everyone,
I've transferred all IBM 1130 diagnostic decks and put them on our FTP
server (ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/cm/ibm1130/cards/diags).
I've also added the several maintenance manuals for the IBM 1442
reader-punch to the docs directory.

Hi everybody,
during the upcoming weeks, I'm going to migrate my web- and ftp-server from an
Alphaserver 4100 to my VAX 4000-300 (running VMS).
In order to obtain enough disk space for ftp combined with little energy
consumption, I'd like to get to work this decent DSSI-SCSI converter from CMD.
Problem is that the only documents, I found on bitsavers, are for the CDI-4000
with a different PCB, having less jumpers and connectors, plus being at
different positions than on the board I have.
Can anybody give me a little help with the jumper configuration of that thing ?
Or better, have docs regarding jumper and connector meanings ?
Exact model is : CDI-4240/AF with a LCD display at the front.
Help is heavily appreciated and helps making the VAX as the new host for my web-
and ftp-server a success !
Best regards,
Pierre

Hi all,
after stumbling around in the internet I ran across KLH10 again.
Having it up and running fine and smoothely on my linux box I thought
it'd be nice to have it run on my Windows-Laptop I have to use for
work too (my only M$-Box here, runs Win7/64bit).
Anyone already tried to compile KLH10 under Windows? Did a quick try,
but get stuck loads of compiler errors /warnings. At least with my
Standard MinGW/Code:Blocks dev.toolchain. Okay, I didn't tweak much.
Maybe someone already got it to compile, I'd appreciate if you'd be
willing to share code with me. Otherwise I'd begin to fix the various
compiler-warnings and errors.
By the way: KLH-10 development seems to be paused at the moment - does
anyone know something about the current status?
Regards,
Wolfgang

Hi, All,
I know that pods are rarer than base units, but I thought I'd ask if
anyone had a spare 9010A Z-80 pod to sell. Lately, I've been using my
6502 pod (which I got from another list member some time ago) to debug
Static PET issues, and it looks like I might be helping to restore
some vintage arcade machines including a Gorf (which is Z-80 based)
and I'd like a pod to match. I'd also probably use it to track down a
memory problem I have with a TRS-80 Model III that seems stuck at 32K
(testing the RAM in a working Dynamic PET is not revealing any bad
chips).
So before hitting certain auction sites and such, I wanted to check here first.
Thanks,

Hi all,
this thread has turned up at the right moment...
I'm beginning to resurrect an 11/23 system so I can get stuff off an batch of old RL01's & RL02's.
If it hadn't been for the comments about the foam filter, I'd have found out the hard way!
The foam was like an exihibit from the Mummy's tomb - just crumbled away as soon as it was touched!
So, I suppose it's safe to run the drive for a while *without* this filter, but is there anything to use as a
short-term substitute?
Also, if I leave the head-lock in place, and try to run up the drive with a pack, would it run up to speed
so I could leave it to 'purge' the pack before powering-down and *then* allowing the heads to load?
These packs and drives have not been stored in the best conditions, which is why I want to take precautions.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Graham Reid

KLH10 under some sort of linux under Virtualbox under Windows is
doable. With networking. Configuration can be a bit tricky, but
usually isn't.
An atom box could be a elegant way to but, spoken for me, I definately
need something portable to carry around.
Thank you for all answers so far,
Regards, Wolfgang

Hi guys,
I've just uploaded the DiscFerret R0031 Microcode and a new version of
the C API (libDiscFerret) to the DiscFerret website:
http://discferret.com/wiki/DiscFerret:Downloads
Changes include:
* Microcode 0031
- Add a "track 0 reached during seek" status bit. This is cleared
when a seek begins, and set if the seek operation was terminated because
the TRACK0 input went active.
- Fix some issues with "over-seeking" (in some cases, the DiscFerret
could send a seek pulse even though TRACK0 was active).
* Libdiscferret 1.1r1
- Add support for the "track 0 reached during seek" status bit
- Add support functions for disc seeking: set seek rate, recalibrate,
seek relative and seek absolute. These remove the need to play
bit-twiddling games with the various seek controller registers: simply
figure out which track you want, and tell the library to seek to that track.
The register changes have been ported to the Python API, but the seek
functions have not. "Porting these functions to Python is left as an
exercise to the reader."
I'm still working on a proper C-API tutorial, but the Doxygen
documentation should be enough to figure out the basics.
Last but not least, in case you missed my "King of the Lab" comment
earlier this week -- I've got a working pinout for the NEC 8in floppy
drive used in the early-PC98-series external drive box. You also have to
flip a jumper... I know, real difficult :)
Details on how to make this work with a DiscFerret will be posted
"soon". As in, as soon as I figure out how to create a fairly nice
looking, readable pin-connection diagram...
Comments, bug reports and feature requests are, as always, welcome.
Thanks,

Phil.

Most (if not all) of the "newer" BA11 chassis and/or power supplies
will already have the same 3-pin connector you're talking about.
If you have a BA11-L chassis, take a peek at the H777 power supply.
It has a power distribution board that should have a 3-pin molex connector marked "J5".
Connecting this pin-for-pin to the 3-pin connector on your H872-A power controller
will turn on all of the switched outlets on the power controller, whenever the 11/34 is powered up.
You can daisy-chain addiitonal power controllers, using the 2nd 3-pin connector on the H872-A.
As for the hole on the kick-plate. . . I'm not sure what that's for -- I've seen it before though.
