I had a ham license (coded Tech class, KA2UZK) from 1984 to 1994, and was quite active on VHF FM and HF CW during that time. I've missed it quite a bit over the years and have always intended to relicense, but the piles of rules changes gave me pause, as rote memorization isn't really my strong suit. Well, the recent discussion of ham radio licensing motivated me to finally get off my butt and do it. I studied off-and-on for a few days to assimilate the new rules & regs, and registered for the VE test given at the hamfest in Hagerstown, MD on April 31st. I sat for all three exams...Element 2 (Technician class), Element 3 (General class) and Element 4 (Extra class). I am very proud to report that I passed them all the first time through! And, I don't mind saying, the Extra exam made my head hurt. The FCC processed my paperwork very quickly, and on May 5th I was granted an Extra-class license and assigned call sign AK4HZ. Of I'm still in West Virginia handling family business, while all of my ham gear is in Florida, but my mother (who is house-sitting for me in Florida) was able to ship two of my HTs up here so I'd have something at least. When I have access to my HF gear (Yaesu FT-ONE and FT-920, Heath HW-7, HW-8, and HW-9 QRP rigs, and Heath SB-101) I hope to try out some of the neat new(ish) stuff like PSK31 that came up while I was away. High-tech stuff aside, I'm sure to do some plain old SSB and CW on the HF bands. Anyway, enough of my blather, I'm just proud to have accomplished that and wanted to tell everyone. I'm hoping to catch some of you on the air! -Dave 73's DE AK4HZ -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

As far as the "broken track", with difficult to remove components, and the lack of an octopus with scope, an exacto knife slice of track can be used to meter suspect components without removal. A solder bridge then repairs the "service trick". As Tony suggested, watch for modifications that may have altered the track on purpose!

To me an origianl IBM PC implies a 16K-64K motherboard. And a 63W power supply I would also claim that the expansio cards were origianl IBM ones. I wouldn't object to _ectras_ being third-party, but there should be enough IBM boards, of the types produced when the machine was made, to have a working system (that is, video card and floppy controller at least). But if, for exmaple, an MDA card has been rpelaced at some point by a Hercules card and the originial IBM MDA card is not included with the machine then that is not 'original'. -tony ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sun, 8 May 2011 19:01:19 +0100 (BST) From: ard at p850ug1.demon.co.uk (Tony Duell) Subject: Re: Desoldering a chopper transistor To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Message-ID: <m1QJ8II-000J49C at p850ug1> Content-Type: text/plain > And just for the record, I have not actually lifted a track.

Hi I thought I'd mention that you always need to refill with solder if it misses getting it all out. Try heating both sides with two irons( tough with only two hands but I've gotten good with holding the pump and iron at one side with just the one hand. You need something to clamp the board. Also, when first melting the solder, make sure the pin is free and centered in the hole. I push the lead around with the iron and solder melted until it feels right( it is a feel thing ). It seems that no matter how well it is cleared, some small bridge seems to be there. Often this can be easily broken loose with a little pressure >from a small screwdriver. If that doesn't work, I put the iron on the lead with sideways pressure. Just as the lead pops, I remove the iron. The idea is to heat it just enough to make the solder start to soften but not so much as to melt it all and attach the lead someplace else. If this fails, I refill the hole with solder and try to adjust the lead again, while hot, to center it in the hole. As a last resort, I go to a friend house that manufactures burn-in boards. He has a solder pot. It is full and I just set the board on the brim of solder. I then just pull the part out. Do remember through all this, do not put pressure on the traces with the iron. Use a clean iron well tinned iron. You can't clear a partially cleared hole, you need to refill it and try again. Use bottled flux if you can get some, it helps to keep the solder surfaces fresh. Also, although many like solder wick, I'd done more damage with it then I'd like. I now only use the pump( not the small one with the yellow lever on the side. It is junk.The larger the better ).

Or is it just that my soldering iron is not good > (powerful) enough? If you're going to do much repair of PCBs, a temperature-controlled iron is pretty important. I use my venerable Weller TCP iron--a time- proven design that's still in production after, what, a half-century? However, there are less-expensive imported options. A clean and well-tinned iron is vital to this kind of work. If your iron isn't tinned, the molten solder can't conduct heat to the joint and you end up spending too much time trying to get a joint to melt. If you're using a solder pump, make sure it's the big one; the little ones don't seem to be worth much. It often helps to add solder to a joint before you use the pump to suck the solder out. Once you've sucked the solder out of a joint (you should be able to see daylight through the joint), wiggle the component gently to break the bond between the lead and the PCB trace formed by any remaining solder film and it should pop right out. Others have suggested cutting the component body off the leads to reduce heat conduction away from the joint being worked on--and that's a very good suggestion. If you still don't trust yourself, you may want to look into a low- temperature solution, such as Chip-Quick, which is basically a low- temperature fusible alloy that takes solder into solution. It's quite valuable duing SMT rework (I have yet to damage a PCB using it to replace surface mount ICs), but it might also work with traditional through-hole devices. http://www.chipquikinc.com/index.htm I've got lots of desoldering braid, but I tend to use it for soldering SMT packages, rather than desoldering them. --Chuck ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sat, 07 May 2011 09:14:25 -0700 From: John Robertson <pinball at telus.net> Subject: Re: Desoldering a chopper transistor To: General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only <cctech at classiccmp.org> Message-ID: <4DC56FE1.8010300 at telus.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Pete Turnbull wrote: > > On 07/05/2011 10:04, Rob Jarratt wrote: >> I need to desolder a chopper transistor from a PCB in the PSU of my >> PDP11 so >> that I can test it and if necessary replace it.

Most device legs go in the hole on an angle, thus there is a tiny film of solder holding the leg to the side of the hole - sometimes on both the top and the bottom of the hole. You will feel or hear a tiny 'click' as the leg releases. Looks like this (somewhat crappy ASCII sketch) \ |\ | <--- Top of feed through hole | \ | | \ | | \| <--- Bottom of feed through hole \ <--- Leg of device So you are trying to break the top and bottom points by pushing the leg away from the side of the hole it is soldered to. If done correctly the device will then be easy to remove with only finger force - no prying with the screwdriver! Hope that makes sense!

As you are just trying to isolate the device for testing, sometimes it is easier to open the circuits elsewhere to achieve the isolation. For example, if the collector goes to an offboard transformer through a connector, then that lead is easily isolated; the base is probably fed by a resistor and lifting one lead of the resistor will isolate the base. With 2 of the 3 connections to the transistor open, it is isolated for testing purposes. TO-220 packages (3 leads with tab) can be very difficult to remove in one piece when - as Pete was mentioning - the holes are to small. Some manufacturers fail to increase the drill size for the wider TO-220 pins, they can be very tight with no room to wiggle the lead to break the final solder bridge. Sometimes slightly twisting the lead might do it. Sometimes you have to rock the device up and out of the holes with several heating cycles. ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Sat, 7 May 2011 18:58:36 +0100 From: "Rob Jarratt" <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> Subject: RE: Desoldering a chopper transistor To: "'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts'" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Message-ID: <039201cc0ce0$651033b0$2f309b10$(a)ntlworld.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > -----Original Message----- > From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk- > bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Brent Hilpert > Sent: 07 May 2011 18:02 > To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts > Subject: Re: Desoldering a chopper transistor > > > I need to desolder a chopper transistor from a PCB in the PSU of my > > PDP11 so > > that I can test it and if necessary replace it. > > As you are just trying to isolate the device for testing, sometimes it is easier to > open the circuits elsewhere to achieve the isolation.

After sending my request I had an idea and took the board to a local jeweller, he was able to remove it for me by using a very fine drill to drill out the just the pins themselves. The contacts look to be intact and even if they are not I will be able to use wires to reconnect the transistor pins.

It says this is a "call your service rep" type of error- the CHK XX codes are apparently undocumented, at least for 3490s. If you can't find a 3480 guide on bitsavers (I just checked and couldn't find one) then this may or may not be worthwhile: http://www.fujitsu.com/downloads/COMP/fcpa/tapes/m2488ce_prod-guide.pdf The only reason I suggest it is Fujitsu has some history of ripping off IBM (they did it with several OS versions and paid over 800 million USD in a settlement) and compatible-hardware manufacturers often try to keep the same error codes to make pubs easier (also by ripping off IBM), so maybe just maybe they are using the same codes as the 3480/90 tape subsystem.

My wife and I own a small business specializing in vintage computers and electronics, especially 1980s microcomputers and game consoles. We?re in the process of moving from Bloomington, Indiana, out to California, and as part of that move, all of our inventory has to go! Because we are anxious to complete our move quickly, we need to sell everything as a single bulk lot. If you?re a fan of the technology or looking to start your own related business, this is a chance to acquire a mother lode of great old stuff. There are some real treasures included -- we hope that you?ll be able to give these computers a good home. Included are almost 100 systems (Apple, Atari, Commodore, TI, Sinclair, and more); thousands of disks, tapes, and cartridges; over a thousand books and magazines; electronics test equipment; and more. The complete list of stuff is available at http://bit.ly/izaYpw ( https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1JS2fRLSfeOoI27Otf-Zhkl1f84WNZQHwM-… ) I can be contacted by email at squunkin at gmail.com, or leave a message on our Google Voice number at (408) 676-6467<https://www.google.com/voice/b/2?pli=1#phones>and I?ll get back to you. (Serious offers only, please -- and feel free to pass the word along to any interested friends!) The sale will go to the best offer from the most reasonable person as quickly as we can manage it. Here are the basic terms and conditions: - We must sell as a single lot and cannot split off individual items. This is not negotiable -- I?m in California, and the inventory is stored in Indiana. (Obviously, we can?t handle returns either.) - This is a LOT of stuff; you will certainly need a U-Haul track or the like. (I?m not a pro at this, but I?d estimate a 20? truck.) - Once the sale has been arranged, I?ll make a trip back to Indiana to help you load up your truck: you?re not on your own. This makes it very important to me to establish a firm pick-up date. I can be flexible about the day of the week. - We cannot guarantee the condition of individual items and must sell as-is: most of this stuff is at least 20 years old. We have always tried to test new equipment as it arrives, and most of the media have been kept in a controlled environment. - Southern Indiana is humid and subject to flooding, and there is a chance that some items may have some moisture damage. If we discover in the process of loading that any items of particular interest to you are damaged, we can adjust the final sale price accordingly. Please let us know about those items in advance! - The list of items we?ve compiled is not exhaustive, but represents a large sample from our inventory database. There?s more. - We currently have around 3-4 dozen WYSE and Falco terminals available, most of which power on. Please let us know ASAP if you want them included -- otherwise, they?ll be heading to recycling on May 14th. - If you have any questions, please ask! I will try to respond to every enquiry with 24 hours. ------------------------------ Message: 18 Date: Sat, 07 May 2011 22:06:52 -0600 From: Richard <legalize at xmission.com> Subject: Re: Enormous lot of vintage microcomputer stuff for sale (Bloomington, IN) To: cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Message-ID: <E1QIvGe-0007Iu-6j at shell.xmission.com> In article <BANLkTimPW3gPjqQPYcx52XiV1sfPdPDaSg at mail.gmail.com>, Mark Meiss <chaosotter76 at gmail.com> writes: > Because we are anxious to complete our move quickly, we need to sell > everything as a single bulk lot. Good luck with that. Pretty much everything listed there is obtainable incrementally and few people are interested in buying huge lots of things when they could obtain them incrementally.

The track damage is strange and I am not entirely convinced it was me because it is a little distance from the pin, perhaps 5mm away and it is a break in the track. It looks like I could have let the iron slip across it, but I don't recall that happening, and the break seems too wide for the size of bit I was using. Is it possible there might have been a latent track defect that the heat from the iron revealed?

It's not unusual to see board revisions done this way--just a bit of tape on the master negatives to do a cut in a trace. If the edges of the break look smooth and straight under magnification, you most likely have your answer.

MARCH computer history library

by evan＠snarc.net

MARCH (Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists) will debut part of its vast library of computer history at the VCF East this weekend. The collection includes full runs of the first few years of Byte, Compute, Creative Computing, Dr. Dobb's Journal, SCCS Interface, Interface Age, Kilobaud, and more. We also have the early years of the People's Computer Company newsletter, anthologies of the early years of the West Coast Computer Faire, a variety of machine-specific publications, and early issues of various user group newsletters (some on CD). Not to mention * hundreds * of computer books (and related topics) from the 1940s-1980s and zillions of manuals / user guides. Our full library will be organized later this year. It will be a reading / research library, not a lending library, except by special permission.

Thinning the Herd (part2)

by ittybittybytes＠gmail.com

Thanks everybody for the heartwarming responses,,,and the corresponding requests for "first dibs" on much of the collectibles I will be parting with. :-) I really did not fathom, just how much stuff I have. When you get around to trying to inventory it, a project I started and abandoned several times over the lat few years. It seems a bit overwhelming. Add to the fact that much of the stuff that I thought was "here" or "there" was not in the spot I remember it being. This was no doubt to my dad moving stuff around, forgetting he did, and not telling anybody where he put it. Fortunately, I do not think he threw any hardware away, but I'm afraid some documentation may be lost, or put in an area where it was exposed and damaged by the elements, but It will take a lot more "digging" through literally piles of equipment to find stuff. Something I am not looking forward to in the HOT arizona summers. I have decided to tackle this effort by dealing with Items by brand name and since I have a lot of DEC stuff, it will go first, then move on to HP, then IBM, then the odd stuff. So far I have counted close to 200-250 various DEC qbus boards, some VAX, some PDP. More importantly I have about a dozen BA11/BA22 chassis, a few BA123 , a few other BA4xx chassis. Some stuff I will be selling on Ebay, but I would prefer to sell some of my pdp stuff through the list, and to cut down the amount of shipping I would have to do, I would like to sell a few "complete" pdps in the smaller chassis, I have more than a few lsi-11/2, 11/23 and 11/73 with enough peripheral boards and memory for at least 4-5 units, maybe more. On some of the chasis, like a BA11-M they would be sans any actual disk, others would have a rd OR rx50 drive. If no drive they would at least have the qbus board. Whatever boards and odd things I would have left over would go to anyone who will throw a few dollars my way. Almost all the pdp's can be shipped via UPS, except the BA123. My UniBUS machine, the 11/04 is mounted in the standard dec pdp full-height rack with a 3rd party RX02 floppy and a unique TS07 upright reel-to-reel. The 11/04 works, the RX02 gave a lot of read errors (dirt or dust most likely) and the TV07 is a "project" ,not working, but is complete, the whole system, I'm afraid it would need to be freighted, as I would like, if possible, sell it in one piece. I will also be selling a ISI PDP-MAC, that's a M68K processor on a Qbus quad height board. I think this one has the 10Mhz and about 1MB of memory on board (although I'm not real sure as the cards contained between 128k to 1MB on board) expandable to 4mb) with on board MACSBUG 1.0 firmware, two serial ports and a parallel port, I will use most any qbus peripheral card made for the pdp/vax. I was trying to find a Unix prom that would allow it to run 4.2 BSD and maybe even Netbsd (looking through the M68k source code, the qbus hooks are there!) I do not know what OS will run using the MACSBUG firmware. So would there be interest in doing this? I am not going to set a firm price but more of a "make offer" type of deal (be generous as it goes to the widow and orphan fun...mom) but may set a reserve on some things. For someone who doesn't have a pdp, but was looking for one, or wants to get started with a small one, here's your chance. Be prepared to make your own cables, though, as I cannot find the boxes of DEC cables I once had, and you will need to configure it yourself. Some cards may require you to move a few dip switches or set a few jumpers. I know more than a few have asked for certain things and I'm on it, but it may take time to dig through and find stuff. Cheers Tom P

Wouldn't it be possible to sell a kit containing the complete board and enclosure, power supply etc. and device drivers, but *not* the OS? I think most hobbyists wouldn't have a problem getting RT11/RSX whatever on their own using the hobbyist license and installing it themselves. The hardware part (and the device drivers) is what most people can't do. I think a complete kit less the OS is viable and fair to all parties. I would like to see more (any!) choices in that area, new retro hardware ready for vintage but readily available OS.

Desoldering a chopper transistor

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

I need to desolder a chopper transistor from a PCB in the PSU of my PDP11 so that I can test it and if necessary replace it. The trouble is that I am not experienced with soldering and desoldering and I am having a lot of trouble desoldering it. I have made several attempts, damaging one of the PCB tracks in the process (should be repairable by adding a wire). I have a cheap Weller 40W soldering iron and I have been using some narrow tips. I have one of those pumps for sucking out the molten solder. I also have 2mm solder wick (braid?). I seem to have removed most of the solder from two of the pins, mostly with the pump, the solder wick just does not seem to pick up any solder not matter what I do. One of the pins, however, goes onto a track that is more like a large area of metal and the iron does not even seem to melt the solder there. The thing I really don't understand is how you desolder more than one pin at the same time. There is always bound to be just a little solder left holding each pin in place no matter how much you remove with the pump or wick. So it seems to me that you would need to have the solder in all 3 pin holes molten, all at the same time, to be able to lift the component. What is the trick? Or is it just that my soldering iron is not good (powerful) enough? Thanks Rob
