Jumper settings for Shugart 810 8" floppy drive

by dfnr2＠yahoo.com

Hi All, I have a couple of Shugart 810 drives I'd like to get working with an OSI system.? While swapping the drives around, I made some changes to the jumpers, but now I can't find the notes I made of the original configuration.? Does anyone have information on the function of the various jumpers on these drives?? I found some manuals online, but they don't seem to have the jumper info. Any information would be most welcome! Thanks, Dave

HP Interex & HP1000 Contributed Library

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I'm not sure I ever posted this publicly, never went out of my way to do so in any case. The HP Interex and HP 1000 Contributed Library website (I think it was interex.org) went down quite a few years ago, and I managed to scarf a complete copy of the site after the pending turnoff was announced but before it went dark. This content is all at http://www.classiccmp.org/interex There are two folders: One is the proceedings, slideshows, etc. of all the HP Interex meetings and the other is the entire HP CSL for HP1000. As usual, please do not rape the content. If you need more than a few files here and there please contact me off-list to arrange a hard drive swap, etc. Best, J

OT: FTGH HP U320 Disk Caddies

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

Not vintage stuff, but I thought I would offer them to the list first. I have three of these caddies, marked 146.8 GB 10K Ultra320 SCSI. You can see one here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-404708-001-146GB-10K-3-5-SCSI-Ultra-320-Hard-Di sk-Drive-in-ProLiant-Caddy-/251350220378 but bear in mind there is no disk, just the caddy. Located in the UK. Regards Rob

Intellec MDS available in Twin Cities MN

by drlegendre＠gmail.com

Hey folks, I really need some cash and some space, so it's time for my Intel Intellec MDS gear to find a new home. I inherited this kit some years ago, and know almost nothing about it - in fact, I'm even confused as to the correct model number; 'experts disagree', it's either an MDS-225 or MDS-800. It's a large white cube, about 20" on a side, with a CRT, one 8" floppy and a number of plug-in boards. There is also a blue Intel dual 8" drive, one seriously heavy-duty keyboard, a few cables and a bevy of 8" floppy discs. I also have an ICE pod for it, somewhere.. It has never been powered-up once since I've had it, though it was apparently 'working fine' when retired sometime in the early-mid 1990s. Cosmetics are very good, it's no ugly duckling by any stretch. Photos will appear as I'm able to move it to a location with sufficient light.

Strange i-con Unibus (?) board

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Sean Caron > I was browsing eBay and came across this very unusual looking Unibus > card Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It looks like it has a ton of memory over on that one side; I was thinking that perhaps it was an EUB memory card with ECC, or something? Anyway, I decided not to mess with it (even if it is pretty cheap - got enough fish to fry on my hands at the moment... :-). Noel

Still looking for Infotek MX-30 RAM

by derschjo＠gmail.com

About a year ago I posted about this; I have an HP 9830A upgraded with an Infotek MX-30 processor upgrade (there's a nice writeup on this page: http://www.hp9825.com/html/infotek.html), but I'm missing the RAM boards. Thought I'd poll again just in case anyone has some, as unlikely as that may be. Alternately, if anyone needs an MX-30 board set (sans memory) for a restoration, drop me a line and maybe we can work something out. Hate to sit on this forever and never get anything working... - Josh

The 9406-270 Has Arrived!!

by Kevin＠RawFedDogs.net

Fellow Classic Computer Enthusiasts, My 9406-270 has arrived. It was strapped to a small pallet with more bubble wrap around it than I think I've ever seen before. Somehow the pallet just fit in the back of my mini-van so the freight company was able to load it in there with a fork lift. I got it home and into my living room. It came without drives so I'm having to start from scratch. I have two drives in slots one and two, and think I have the twinax console connected correctly. It appears to IPL from CDROM but I'm not getting anything on the console other than the cursor moving >from the upper right corner of the screen to the upper left corner of the screen after about twenty minutes of occasional CDROM activity. Does anyone have any pointers for a newbie at installing OS/400, or whatever V5R4 is called. I wish IBM would stop changing perfectly good OS and hardware names. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system? One that works! Errare humanum est, ignoscere caninum.
