Kaypro 2000 charging

by trash3＠splab.cas.neu.edu

Hi, I just found a Kaypro 2000 at the local recycler. No power supply. From what I can find online it has three(3) lead acid batteries. Any thoughts on getting it to fire up? I do not know the polarity of the power jack on the back. Once I get that, I was thinking of a 6 volt supply, more to just turn it on, rather than try to charge the batteries. Thanks. Joe Heck

ISO: DECtape controller

by derschjo＠gmail.com

I was fortunate enough to acquire a TU56 this week, along with a TD8E controller.? However, the TU56 lacks the G888 flip-chips necessary to work with the TD8E; I know these parts are in short supply, but in the unlikely event that anyone has (a) a set of 5 G888 boards, or (b) a TC01, TC08 or TC11 DECtape controller in any condition that they would be interested in selling/trading for, please drop me a line. Thanks as always! Josh

FS: PDP-11/23 + RL02

by ben＠bensinclair.com

I haven't gotten this all together yet, but thought I'd let people here know first that I have a PDP-11/23 for sale! I'm just trying to clean things out, and have decided to focus my collection a bit. I need to go down and inventory everything, but I have a PDP-11/23 with 64KW of memory (not sure on what boards I have to give it that yet). The machine itself works, thanks to some help from people on this list. I have not gotten around to getting the RL02 working, though I have the interface and what I believe is the proper cabling. It's a pretty clean drive, and does power on just fine. I boot the 11 via a TU-58 emulator, so other than the RL02 I don't have any physical drives or tapes. Not sure on the price yet, but thought I'd see if anyone is interested. Ideally this would be for pickup in Des Moines, Iowa. Thanks! -- Ben Sinclair ben at bensinclair.com

(If I should not have let that cat out of the bag, my apologies.) Noel

Restoring a PC Server 500 P/390 - now running

by dave.g4ugm＠gmail.com

Folks, Just to say I did end up doing a re-install of OS/2 on a smaller drive, which took most of today, but the P390 software is now installed and I have loaded VM/CMS and IPL'd a simple 3-pack system copied from Hercules. The readme that comes with the P/390 V2.5 software explains how to set up the systems so PCOMMS can talk to it. I still don't have the screen resolution working at 1024 x 768 which the manual says it should. Oh and PMVNC also runs so I can remote control the beast. It was all a bit of a slog, mostly because OS/2 is a bit of a slog. The P/390 was the easy part. Thanks to all who helped, Dave

Anyone have an HP 12661A DVS card manual, 12661-90004?

by glen.slick＠gmail.com

I don't see a manual for the HP 12661A DVS (Digital Voltage Source) interface card on bitsavers, or hpmuseum.net, or anywhere else. The only reference I have found is in a list of not scanned manuals here: http://rikers.org/hp2100/jeff/iocards/iocards2.txt ---------- 12661 DIG VOLT SOURCE ---------- MANUAL FOR DIGITAL VOLTAGE SOURCE PROGRAMMER INTERFACE KIT HP 12661A MANUAL NO. 12661-90004 APRIL 1971 [Cards #12661-6001 and 12661-6002, connector 02116-6178] This is the interface card that would be used in an HP 1000 to control an HP 6130A Digital Voltage Source. See Hewlett-Packard Journal, June 1968. There is the 14902A BCS driver as listed in 5950-9226_HP_Software_Catalog_Aug1973.pdf Source code for that driver is available as 14902-80001_Rev-A.src in the bitsavers HP_1000_software_collection Master Files, Type 4. Mainly just curious because I have a couple of HP 12661A interface cards without manuals that I have never tried to use and I was reminded about them when an HP 6130A made a brief appearance in Marc's latest Weird Stuff video.
