Hi!
That sounds like what I'm looking for. Do you know if there's a date on it
anywhere? How much would you be willing to sell it for? I also have an
EGA monitor w/card, if you'd be willing to trade.
ThAnX,

Let me explain: The drive that is blown plugs into the parallel port. The
drive is a Mitsumi that works, but there is something wrong with the
controller in the external box. I have a few internal Mitsumi controllers,
and they all run the drive, but the drive won't function in the external
case.

If you need an Atari 400 power supply, I have one. It just needs a new
plug.

Hey folks,
I'm going to pickup a system in a week or two, and it's got RL02 Drives.
I haven't seen one of these in years. Any shipping hints, locking
screws,
etc?
Thanks.
John Lawson was kind enough to forward the attached missive to me.
Nothing on the list that I can use, but others may have need. If so,
contact the original author (William Hunt) directly.
Thanks in advance.

No need (or sense) to compile for an -11 as it is a PDP-11!
On the oft side compiling something big like that is still possible on
an -11, but your going to have to do it in peices and link them
afterwards.

You might compile, but it won't work - it's hard to map more than 64 kbytes
at a time on a -11, and Bob Supnik's emulator assumes that there are
no such silly limitations.
Converting DECUS C to split I&D might get you a bit closer to 64 kbytes,
but it still won't agree with Bob's emulator.

Not just directions for building on VMS... there should be a set of .COM
files which do it for you.
BTW - Did the makefile I wrote ever make it into the distributed emulator
kit?

^^^^^
I don't think the voltage will be a problem, but the amperage looks a
little low on that supply.
Atari supplied power supplies rated between 1.7A and a whopping 5.6A for
the 400.
The AC VIC-20 power supply I have is rated at 3A.
I don't know what the actual requirements of the systems are, but I'd be a
little wary of using a 780mA power supply.
--- end of quote ---
Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. I HAD read what the amperage should be, but I guess I had a brain cramp when I ordered that 780mA job. Maybe I couldn't resist the price -- $2.50 from American Science and Surplus.
Just ordered the right ones this afternoon, one from somebody on the list and one from a guy in Minnesota (no, not the jerk that withheld the specs from me, another guy). Thanks for correcting me. :)
