M4data model 9914 tape drive

by shadoooo＠gmail.com

Hello, I'm repairing an M4data 9914 tape drive. After fixing some problem with psu, replacing the roller rubber with a cut of tubing, cleaning mechanical parts, oiling some pulleys, now it starts up on power on, runs diagnostics, but unfortunately ends with a **BIFF error (scsi interface). The drive hasn't been connected to a pc via scsi yet. I have a couple of questions: - what should be the correct external diameter of the rubber roller? - where could I find schematics? thanks Andrea

RA81 removal

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Johnny Billquist >> I compared the DEC part numbers on the RA81 slides and some RL02 slides >> I have, and ... they are indeed the same part number! > What? That can't be. They are physically different. All I know are the following facts: - I bought a group of surplus RL02 drives from a scrap dealer, and they came with slides with the following part #'s: 1213686-00 Rev-K1-R and 1213686-00 Rev-K1-L. (BTW, I have extra -L's, if anyone needs them; will trade for something useful.) - I bought a machine which had previously belonged to DEC in Vancouver, and it came with a couple of RA81 drives, and they had slides with the following (identical to the above) part #'s: 1213686-00 Rev-K1-R and 1213686-00 Rev-K1-L. The two slide sets above are completely identical in appearance; the only difference is that the part # is in different places on the two. - I was given an RL02 drive a while back, and it came with slides, but they don't have any part #'s that I can see. They look almost identical to the ones above, except that the newer ones have two rocking trip levers (one in the middle, and one at one end), and the older ones have only one (the one in the middle).

I will post more photos of items sometime this week if they look of interest here. I don't know what is left, but it may be interesting. I'm helping another list member obtain an item from the sale, and can look at the other stuff if anyone is interested. thanks Jim

Flexi-bit PUNCH

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

I'm not in the habit of bringing my photography projects here, in fact this might be a first. I'm hoping someone might recognize this, or at least have an estimate as to when it was made. I'm guessing somewhere between the 1950's and 1970's. Google is useless, the only thing it found, when I looked, was this photo, twelve minutes after I'd posted it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zanes-photography/16504361399/ Zane
