AW: 50Hz Pulley for 8" Floppy Drive Mitshubishi M2894-63B

by guykd＠optusnet.com.au

Ok. Those are quite small. So you have one? Or those are not yours? If you have one, and a way to accurately measure it, making more will be easy for anyone with a lathe. I could do it, but surely you can find a machinist closer to home?

Data Systems Design DSD-4140 microcode PROMs

by jzatar2＠illinois.edu

Hello Everyone, We found a PDP-11 QBUS card cage with a KDF11 and some other cards (RAM, ROM, some basic peripherals) which included a DSD-4140 card. Unfortunately, the DSD-4140 is missing one of it's microcode PROMs for some reason. Does anyone else have one of these cards? It'd be really helpful if we could get some dumps of the 4 microcode PROMs so we can compare what we have and look into replacing what we don't have with an adapted modern part. (and if anyone goes to the trouble to read the 4 microcode PROMs, there's also an 82S137 that deserves to be dumped). Here's a picture of the card in question: https://i.imgur.com/tzYjPYF.jpg Regards, Joe Zatarski

mainframes and other stuff

by sales＠elecplus.com

Mainframes and other stuff Recycle center in NC is willing to save out "stuff" for people. No, no one can go in the back and scrounge. No, he does not want a lot of emails from people. Yes, he gets big blue and orange and beige 6 foot tall OLD mainframes in all the time. They squash them at the moment. Yes, he will package small orders, and will properly palletize larger orders. Local pick up will be available after the new year. So, if u can send me a picture with description and some part numbers, along with what you want to pay, I will consolidate things and make arrangements. Please don't ask for specific boards from DEC; they don't want to go into that much detail. QBUS will mean nothing to him. Big orange cabinet that says xxxxx is much more likely to get saved. They are moving to new warehouse 1st of the month, so all this will start happening after the 1st of the year.

DEC TKZ10 Tapes

by bill.gunshannon＠hotmail.com

Does anyone have any DC6525 tape cartridges they would be willing to part with? One of the Expansion boxes on my VAX has a TKZ10 but none of the older QIC tapes I have can handle the format from this drive. bill

advice / suggestion wanted PDP 11/40 only boots XXDP, not RT11

by billdegnan＠gmail.com

My PDP 11/40 suddenly lost it's ability to boot RL02 disks except the XXDP disk. I have two drives, both boot up an XXDP (I have more than one) just fine, but any formerly-working RT-11 (v 5, 5.1, 5.3) no longer boots, it just hangs. I have been troubleshooting, running the 11/40 XXDP tests, but they seem to just hang too. And I am not a big fan of XXDP anyway. I have cleaned the drive heads, the disks are ok. I can load BASIC just fine from PDPGUI "tape" through the serial card (M7800) Any off the cuff suggestions why this specific issue would arise? Power seems ok, looking for dumb reasons that I missed. I have swapped out CPU cards, does not make any difference. I am pretty sure it's a UNIBUS interference issue, at least that's my working theory. I suppose there may be an RT-11 boot instruction call or routine of the CPU that XXDP does not exercise explaining why XXDP boots. Maybe RAM locations. In the end I just have to work through everything, but I am open to suggestions to help cut down the time spent diagnosing the problem. Thanks in advance, I will be around tonight (East Coast USA Time) Bill
