Anybody got a spare NCR5380-based SCSI controller?

by jruschme＠exit109.com

Hi! (I think this is old enough hardware to be on topic.) In my off hours, I'm trying to put together a driver for NCR53C80-based SCSI controllers for it i386 port of NetBSD. (For those who know NetBSD, I'm doing some patches to the MI 5380 driver and writing an i386 MD front end.) I have it working with the very dumb Chinon controller (non-bootable, no IRQ- polled only), but was trying to set up a test box with a card capable of being interrupt driven and (ultimately) bootable. Unfortunately, my ancient SUMO SCSI-AT seems to have given up the ghost as it will no longer detect any connected drives and seems to actively screw up the bootting of floppies from another card. So, I was wondering if one of you might be able to loan (or cheaply sell) me a spare NCR53C80-based SCSI card. I guess I would ideally be looking for another SUMO or similar card. My second choice would be a Trantor T130 with boot ROM. I am, however, open to other suggestions. Thanks... <<<john>>>

Monitor repair

by cdrmool＠interlog.com

Would someone be kind enough to direct me to a good FAQ or URL for diagnosing/repairing monitors? There has been some excellent information passed around on this list since I've subscribed but I need something a bit more basic. For example, descriptions of different types of problems (flickering, only 2 colours) and the possible causes and interventions. I realize that its not quite as simple as I'd like it to be but I have to start somewhere. I keep finding SVGA monitors that need some work and would like to get them up and running. TIA Colan

Compaq correction

by roblwill＠usaor.net

I'm not sure if they're the same, or not, but on Compaq's website, the Portable III, and the Portable 386 were listed as two different computers. I need the parts for the Portable 386. -- -Jason (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#-1730318

The portable III was a 286, otherwise identical though. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Willgruber <roblwill(a)usaor.net> To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu> Date: Sunday, 27 September 1998 10:44 Subject: Compaq correction >I'm not sure if they're the same, or not, but on Compaq's website, the >Portable III, and the Portable 386 were listed as two different computers. >I need the parts for the Portable 386. >-- > -Jason >(roblwill(a)usaor.net) > ICQ#-1730318

WTB: Compaq Portable III stuff

by roblwill＠usaor.net

Hi! I have a Compaq Portable III that Id like to get going a bit better than it is now. Here's what I need for it: RAM - It uses special RAM that is about as long as a 72-pin chip, bit is only about 1/2" high, and doesn't have the notch in the middle. I currently have 2 MB, but would like to get it up to the max (16 MB?) Modem (I think that's what the slot's for) - There's a little knock-out under the disk drives, and a big open space inside the case, and a connector. That's really all I can say about that. Manual - Any have a manual that they'd want to get rid of (or photocopy)? I've checked the date on this thing (stamped on the inside of the back cover), and It's dated 1988, so it just makes it for the list. ThAnX again, -- -Jason (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#-1730318

Memory needed (slightly OT)

I have the URL, and the info to modify the SIMMS. I just need to get the SIMMS.
