Awhile ago, I offered some books for free to list members. Now I've got another list of books and other items I want to get rid of. Again, they are free to list members. All I ask it to pay shipping fees--most of this can be sent by media mail. First-come, first-serve. Happy to answer any questions about these items.

Battery Disk 2.07. Untested 5.25? floppy, for PC
Qmodem, 1990s, 5.25? floppy and manual still in shrink wrap, for PC
I got lucky with a little trial & error. Setting the MSB of the SR (i.e.
7000) causes AJRLIA to report an error but then keep testing.
Not sure if this works for all the AJ**** diagnostics but hopefully DEC had
some kind of pseudo-standard for this...
Does anyone know what the switch register settings are for the PDP-8 disk
diagnostics (found on diagpack2.rk05 and others)?
In particular, the AJRL** series (RL01/02 drive exercisers). Normally the SR
is set to 0000 but when there's an error the program stops until a CR is
typed.
I want the diagnostic to just print out that error and keep running. Trial
and error might take a long time.
Without the source code there's no other good way except possibly to
single-step through the program and look for the OSR command (which may also
take a very long time).
thanks for any help.

The Maintenance Manual-II describes the procedures for checking and
adjusting the TC12 timing. It needs a lot more notes about using the Auto
Restart speed settings. This facility allows you to put the processor in
Single Step and have the Continue button automatically pressed ad a
controllable rate. If the rate is set too high you will see the LTD ACIP
Delay activate twice and measure a delay that is more than twice real value.
Most of the delays are controlled by M307 One Shot flip-chips. These boards
have Fairchild 9601 ICs in them. We didn't have any spares, so we bought
some on eBay just in case...
The TC12 has extensive maintenance capabilities and will let the processor
simulate just about any condition in the TC12. With a short toggle-in
program we were able to check all of the basic timing signals LTT TP0 L,
LTT TP2 L, LTT TP3 L, and LTT TP4 L signals. We adjusted LTD XTLK H from
9.15 us to 9.5 us according to the written notes in the maintenance manual,
where the spec was 9 us. We adjusted LTD TTOK, LTD TAPE FAIL Delay, LTD
ACIP Delay, and the Mark Clock.
Unfortunately none of these adjustments made any difference, and the
LINCtapes still misbehave.

Not reading the list much, are we? :-)

Better yet (much better): upload all your bits to the cloud (strongly
encrypted if need be), and have almost none on the machine when you cross the
border - you can download it when you get to the other side. (And, if you're
paranoid, or have reason to be, don't forget to i) delete it before coming
back across, and ii) wipe your free space.)
Anything _on_ the machine they are entitled to look at - and if you have A
bunch of encrypted stuff, and won't give them the keys, it makes them i)
suspicious, and ii) pissed off at you for flouting their 'authority'.
'Sure, officer - look at anything you want, nothing's locked' - they'll soon
lose interest and wave you on their way, there's obviously nothing there to
find.

Decided to start with the terminals first. I cleaned up and tested the DG
Dasher D200, and it come out fairly good and all tests indicate it's working
fine. No pictures of that.
The Dasher TP1 is much more of a hard-luck case, and I just finished
cleaning the top of the top chassis. I did not clean the bottom chassis or
stand or insides yet, so you can see a good comparison of the cleaned top
half and the untouched bottom half. 7 pictures (unfortunately newest to
oldest) are at https://www.flickr.com/photos/131070638 at N02
No, there's no retrobrite involved. Just a normal spray on household
cleaner, followed by Magic Eraser and a lot of elbow grease. Yep, Magic
Eraser is a wonderful thing.

Hi,
does someone know if the schematics of the KDJ11-A (11/73 CPU)
are available in the public?
I have one with an thermal fault, the J11 is fine..

Holm
