IBM 5100

by cc＠informatik.uni-stuttgart.de

Hello to all IBM 5100 owners, I have started disassembling and commenting the Executable ROS of the 5100 that a kind soul has exctracted and provided me with the dump. I've come across an inconsistency with the Maintenance Information Manual as found on the net. I have both SY31-0405-2 and SY31-0405-3. The issue is the description of the control I/O commands for device 1 (non-executable ROS selects). The manual says bit 12 is APL select and bit 13 is BASIC/Common select (page C-4), and that matches the block diagram on page 5-20. But in fact, the code uses the bits as defined for the 5110 (12=select BASIC, 13=select APL, 14=select Common) and therefore, the 5100 must be different from the system described in the MIMs. So here are two questions: - Does someone have a newer version of the MIM, i.e. SY31-0405-4 or greater? A scan would be wonderful, especially because the scans for the available MIMs are horrible... - Are there known major revision changes in the 5100 line? Christian PS: I really mean 5100, not 5110 or 5120 ;-)

Jesse and the ebay mess

by sales＠elecplus.com

I just got off the phone with Jesse at Cypress. He said he did not post the gold and tantalum items on ebay. It is someone else, trying to cast a bad name on him. I explained to him that the list would really like to work with him, and that old HP stuff is wanted. He explained that each item is put into a system, fully tested, and has warranty and follow up support if needed, so prices are not low. I explained to him that many list members can do board level repairs. I suggested a "garage sale" type scenario, where he offers as-is equip, to save the costs of paying a tech to test everything. He is open to that idea. He has pallets of old terminals and keyboards that he does not work on anymore, so no warranty. I told him that if he would test the monitor to make sure it turns on, and include a complete matching keyboard, members would prob pay about $85 plus shipping for a set. He does have a 150, and a lot of 1970s and 80s terminals and keyboards. He said he will gather them together and do a basic test and offer some out, on an as-is basis. Please understand that he is a business (for the past 30 years), and he does have to cover costs of storage, technicians, etc. No, he won't sell stuff for $5. It costs him more than that to pay someone to find the stuff and pack it. Please bear his needs in mind too.
