Anyone Have a Working DEC Pro 350?

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

Is there anyone who has a working DEC Pro 350 who would be prepared to probe a few pins on the system board with an oscilloscope? I'd like to understand what signals I should be expecting in the reset logic, which seems to be quite complex. Thanks Rob

My collection begins at 1997 so I would *eagerly* take anything previous to that. Oh, I'd guess I have them all from '94 to 97 at least, including the non-Intel MIPS and Alpha sets. Does the Internet Archive had an easy tool that lets me put a CD in my drive and it'll tell me if they already have it? - John

Looking for HP Laserjet IIp+ power supply

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

Actually I just fixed it ;) <Emily Litella> Never Mind. I took the supply all the way apart and found one secondary filter cap that had leaked electrolyte. Cleaned and fixed that, but still no luck. 155 volts on the main filter cap. Then I noticed that occasionally it would try to start for a blink but then the voltages would just drop to zero. So I started looking around the section that had to be for bootstrap power to the switching regulator, a common TL494 chip with datasheets online. Sure enough, a small electrolytic on the primary side had blown its bottom out. The diodes around it were still good. Changed that cap and a couple more suspicious looking small ones and the voltages came right up (including the 24V once I pushed the cover-open microswitch). Put it back in the printer, screwed it all together (a very modular design for easier field servicing) and fired it up. Test page printed perfectly. Saved some $ on a new laser printer. For now :) I like these old cinder-block-sized (and weight) printers too. They last ALMOST forever... Charles

Looking for HP Laserjet IIp+ power supply

by charlesmorris800＠centurytel.net

The main power supply for my ancient Laserjet IIp+ printer has given up. Fuse is not blown. Power switch has continuity... don't feel like trying to debug and repair the "brick". There are two Sony labels: One says Model RG1-1782 (I think that's the HP part number) and the other Model CD-91A, 100-115V. Does anyone have a working one in their junkbox? This is the LAST time I repair it before it goes to the recycler! I think I've changed every module except this one. It has become my grandfather's axe: new head and new handle, but it's still my grandfather's axe :) thanks Charles

2 huge warehouses full of old computers

by sales＠elecplus.com

Thursday I visited Computer Fusion near Dallas, TX. They have 2 huge warehouses that they have been filling up since the 1990s. I saw a lot of old Sun gear, lots of 90s era PCs, etc. Not all of it is listed on his site, but if there is something specific you want, go to http://www.cfusion.com and send them a request. Yes, he still has working ESDI, MFM, etc drives J Cindy Croxton Electronics Plus 1613 Water Street Kerrville, TX 78028 830-370-3239 cell sales at elecplus.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

The Andromeda Disk Controller again

by bill.gunshannon＠hotmail.com

When we talked about this little bit ago I thought there were a couple other people who had them.? Any chance someone has a copy of the utilities disk they could rip and email to me? I just tried to read? mine and it appears to have a bad spot right on the oct.sav file which is the program for configuring the card. bill
