I have a couple of shelves of old IDE and a few SCSI internal tape drives, mostly 40-120mb in capacity. I no longer have the tapes, nor the inclination to test. If you want a list and will pay $10 plus shipping for a drive, please email me a for a list of models and pn. NO GUARANTEES on these old guys! Shipping should be $8-10.

OT: "Classic" medical technology (was: Re: Computing the old way...)

Computing the old way - Is it a thing of the past?

by c.murray.mccullough＠gmail.com

Should we be surprised at how and why classic-computing, this site in particular, is so popular amongst the hobbyist/experimenter community today? There is a modicum of control that?s lacking in today?s computing, or computing-like, technology. Granted it?s ?easier? to use/employ, nearly by all; everything, or almost, done without consumer input but turning the infernal beast on. Or, maybe not with the ?intelligence agents? been employed today! And even our computers I dare say going this route. Automatic updates, etc., etc., happen?Making a computer or otherwise do what you want it to do, rather than say an Apple or something akin, is fast becoming a thing of the past. Freedom. Let?s hope it?s not pass? either! Murray--

Thorny diagnostic issue for an Epson QX-10

by terry＠webweavers.co.nz

Symptom: A QX-10 keeps shutting down, but at random and in an erratic way. By erratic it will sometimes shutdown--Start---Shutdown--start---within a 1/2 second of each sequence. It sounds like there is a short somewhere or at least some component failing. But where? Its hard to diagnose because (1) It's intermittent and (2) I don't want to run the machine when it's flip flopping on and off. That's definitely not good for the components. I've determined that it's either the PSU or mainboard at fault. Both are for sale on e-Bay. However, I don't whant to buy both when only one is the problem. Any ideas how I might determine which? The PSU doesn't not fire at all if there is no load on it. Terry (Tez)

H780 power supply

by abacos_98＠yahoo.com

Started tearing into the 11/780 and pulled the 11/03 and the RX01 out to clean and test. Looks like the PS is bad in the 11/03. It powers on and the fans run because they are AC but I am getting sometimes 4.5 volts on the 5v line and 0 volts on the 12v. I have 34 volts coming out of the diode rectifier. I suspect switching transistors. Anyone have experience with these? Brian.

PC World: If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It: Ancient Computers in Use Today

by lproven＠gmail.com

By Benj Edwards, PCWorldFeb 19, 2012 6:00 PM ?It?s easy to wax nostalgic about old technology--to remember fondly our first Apple IIe or marvel at the old mainframes that ran on punched cards. But no one in their right mind would use those outdated, underpowered dinosaurs to run a contemporary business, let alone a modern weapons system, right? Wrong!? http://www.pcworld.com/article/249951/if_it_aint_broke_dont_fix_it_ancient_… (I may have posted this before - it's a year old. If so, sorry.) -- Liam Proven ?

C64 Direct-to-TV

by gewtnet＠me.com

I don't have a REAL Commodore 64, so I unfortunately cannot mess with the physical hardware. But! I have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C64_Direct-to-TV and it seems that it is pretty hackable. Should be interesting to mess with?unfortunately I have no idea where the soldering equipment is here so I can't do much with it. ;)
