Hi,
what is the recommended way to image HP 85 tape cartridges? The best would
be including headers and whatsoever, and to be able to recreate tapes from
the images and have a 1:1 duplicate from the original cartridge.
I'm almost done with rebelting and imaging our 264x cartridges and would
like to continue with the other tapes (85 and 9845).

Back in ''70, sometimes we were running "basic" BASIC ( NOT Time sharing ) on 2116B, 2100A, just for FUN.
Is there some copy still around ??
I had a look in Google, Bitsavers, HPmuseum, with NO success.
Thank for help and/or advise.
Howdy friends,
In need of 8 pcs. MT4067-15 or equiv. to fill out the RAM board in a Tandy
1000 EX. These are 64k x 4bit I believe.
Just checking to see if a group member might have some stashed away?
CHM has a 1072 with a AM-100L 68000 processor and a scsi interface.
one of the boot proms has gone bad, has anyone imaged these?
I'm also trying to locate the hardware manual for the AM-620 QIC cartridge tape interface.
Hi folks,
My trusty DECserver has bitten the dust in a silent and non-violent way
with the fuse still intact so has anyone got tips on troubleshooting? I
know it's the PSU because I 'borrowed' another PSU from work and the unit
is running again. It's an ASTEC unit under the hood, and in my experience
of fixing the older types like the AC8151 (Memotech, TRS80 II/III, Osborne
etc) the chief culprits on an utterly dead PSU are the input caps and/or
the small 220uF or 330uF startup cap in the feedback circuit.
I haven't checked bitsavers etc for a schematic yet, does such a thing
exist? Helpfully the ASTEC board doesn't have a model number on it.
Cheers

I've been thinking it might be nice to have an LDA BFD backend for gnu binutils, so gas, ld, objdump etc. could deal with LDA's directly without having to use separate conversion utilities.
Before jumping in on that, though, I thought I'd ask here to see if anybody might have already started or done this? I've noticed several of the folks here also have contributions on some of the binutils lists.
thanks,

DID YOU CHECK? HP MUSEUM DOWN UNDER?? THEY HAVE A FAB? ONLINE COLLECTION OF? SOFTWARE...

re: Cisco and IBM protocols
If you're really interested, all of this is exhaustively documented
under the umbrella of Cisco's "IBM Feature Set". There's a *lot* here
under the hood, but the last time I looked (admittedly, a while) a
number of folks had web sites that documented the correct incantations
for Hercules and common hardware.
You can bridge between TR (and FDDI) and ethernet on a Cisco,
generally for non-routable protocols (e.g. NetBIOS); see:
'translational bridging'. If you're trying to get these protocols
across an intermediary 'alien' network (like the corp FDDI backbone,
or the Internet), there are things like DLSw.
If you're trying to get TCP/IP from TR to ethernet and vice versa,
routing generally works better/is simpler (IME), but Cisco has all
sorts of bizarre encapsulation/translation features for different use
cases should you need them.
You can also make the router look like an SNA concentrator (PU?).
