There is also a little panel, secured by a couple of screws, through
which a cable for a TK50 passes. This pass-through could also be
used for the cables from the WQESD, so long as they are long enough
to run all the way from the board to the disk.

I have three Torch C series machines that I no longer want. They are the
BBC architecture machines and NOT the variants that run Unix. I have two
hard disk based systems and one dual floppy system. One of the hard disk
based machines is in a pretty poor state so is probably best used for
spares. I do have some floppies for these machines. They are free to a
good home. They are very heavy so collection is probably best. I
am in Cambridge, UK.

I have some that I got from DEC surplus new and I think I have a couple used
ones for a whole lot cheaper than either of the prices for mentioned.
68 pin HD to 50 pin Centronics.

I may have posted this before but I'm getting nervous. I saw an HP 125
computer at the Salvation Army Store at Lansdowne and Queen in Toronto. It
is all there but the keyboard, monitor, and box are slowly being seperated.
The manager has said $25 but I suspect that you could get him down to
about $20 at least as its been there so long. No I will not ship it but if
there is anyone in the area who wants it, get there quick. I,
unfortunately, have NO ROOM! left for much of anything. I am told it works
fine. I've never seen one before and suspect I may never again. Please
someone get it. Already the manuals have gone missing.

A thousand pardons - I should have known better. Sorry to all on the list!

The controller (an RQDX1, 2 or 3) plugs into the backplane. The ribbon
cable from it runs under the card cage to the bottom of the backplane,
where there is a distribution board which splits the signals into
connectors for cables connect to up to two hard drives, and one
connector for a floppy.

Thanks... I'll have to recheck the manual, I guess I missed it. Now
I have to figure out what 'off' means... shorting pin 4 to what other
pin (shorted low or high).
I'm thinking of trying a KA630 as a coprocessor in a qbus pdp-11
system.
The KA650 manual mentions using the same board, but it says that only
the off-off configuration is supported. I wonder if the KA650 can
be a co-processor as well... But then, the KA650 doesn't have on-board
memory.
