Last sun3 ask: In search of a SCSI controller (VME) for a 3/260

by ian.finder＠gmail.com

Folks, sorry for the Sun spam. Everything was working in my newly acquired 3/260, and the monitor is even starting to shape up. It was a gorgeous machine until I tried to use the SCSI bus on it. The controller is dead, very dead. No fuses or obvious things. No matter the device or chain... including the original disks. ?getbyte error, phase mismatch? So again I plead- does anyone have a Sun 3 scsi controller, preferably of the internally pinned type, sitting on a shelf somewhere? Thanks, - Ian

I'm still looking for the OS media or any manuals for 2 systems 1 is a OSM Zues 4 Early Z80 System,the other is? a Pertec p4010 mini. which uses coax to the terminals.? I can find a little bit on the Pertec 3200 but nothing on the 4010. Thanks, Jerry ,,,,,,,,,,,,,? Update? ,,,,,,,,, for those that asked and add info The Zues is cute little desk top system with? a wood top. 16x16, Very simple, but nice.Had its own Multi user OS, Z80,? Seagate? ST-212 HD? 12 meg , 5 1/4 Floppy.? With 10 serial? ports, I would guess this thing would be sweating bullets,? if all 10 ports where busy. Of coarse this is 2018 and it still runs. That has to say something.? date code is 1984 ?Pertec After doing a little searching . This is a Pertec 3200 series. By the info I have seen,It is a 3230 floor standing model.? The P4010 on the tag is most likely the configuration ??? It has a 70 meg HD (MFM), Bridge board,Tape drive and? 5 1/4 Floppy. 68020 processor The Coax ports, where fast and The terminals could? be a long distance away. The Bridge board has a 68000 Processor and DPT sticker on the Roms.? Very nicely made Machine. Each Terminal Had a Z-80 with 64k of Memory in it. There is a company in? Denver that lists the OS but they have not returned my E-mail Requests Yet ?? - Jerry I have added some Zues and Pertec? Terminal pictures to this file. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xsa6xu6fn9ct6db/AAC93v0xdy0nSuOJQ-1ApGbta?dl=0

Sanyo PHC-3100 (or PHC-3000) ?

by mattislind＠gmail.com

Does anyone have more info on these Japanse machines. I collected the infomation I got from the former owner of a PHC-3100. Interesting machines based on the TMS9900. http://www.datormuseum.se/computers/others/sanyophc3100-1 I have 32 floppies which was dumped using ImageDisk. 40 tracks, double sided, FM encoding. But none of these floppies are original so I am not sure if I have the full OS, whatever that is. I also lack documentation. >From what I understand they were never sold outside Japan.

Picked up a couple 386 machines

by lyokoboy0＠gmail.com

While working at the scrapyard today, i managed to get a couple 386 machines right as they were being dropped off. One is a pakard bell with monitor, in pristine condition. The other is a Tandy 2500 with monitor, in rough looking shape but working too. The monitor is pretty beat up for the tandy but working. I have been on the look ut for a good 386 mahine for a while now, i got kinda lucky and picked up two working systems in one day. The pakard bell is up and running fine, it was a pretty standard machine and just needed a hard drive. The tandy 2500 is pretty nice as well, it has a cdrom and a hard drive installed, although the hard drive is dead and seems to only accept AT hard drives. I am still learning about tandy computers, on my other machines, i was unable to find an 8 bit isa cad that could support newer ide drives. On the machine i just picked up it looks like a 16 bit isa slot is free, if i were to install a 16 bit ide hard drive controller for use with newer ide drives, would it work, or cause some kind of conflict with the onboard hard drive controller? The floppy drive is quite dirty but reads disks sometimes, i need to clean it up. Im hoping to post back with a couple pictures of both the machines running. I do not need them both, I really like the packard bell, but if someone absolutely needs a 386 machine with monitor I am open to offers to get one shipped out and keep the other one. --Devin

Anyone have the service guide for a Sanyo VM4209 monitor?

by janso96＠hotmail.com

Hi, I'm trying to repair this monitor, but unfortunately I can't find any service manual or guide with schematics for it. I found something on www.electronic-circuitry.com<http://www.electronic-circuitry.com>, but it's impossible to download. Thanks in advance, Janek Sochaczewski
