I dont think my previous plea made it to the list, our mail system here
is rather braindead.
I need a S-100 RAM card of any size to test my IMSAI. If anyone has one
they feel comfortable parting with, please let me know.
Thanks
Tony

you have to run the apple hdsc setup program that should be able to identify
and init the external drive. if it's not a genuine apple drive, it won't do
it. if that's the case, i could send you a program to do it.

Antique HP 50720A cdrom and CM 153/03 controller board.
Looking for information/drivers for the above. This cdrom
has a special 16 pin ribbon connector from it to the control
board, another 10 pin ribbon connector???, a 5 switch DIP
switch packet, plus the 4 pin power connector. The controller
card has only 1 jumper block with 4 jumper positions.
HELP! HELP! please.

Right. R/S has two cords (278-1254 and 278-1256), but I think that
the -1256 is the one. For the power supply, I bought a 9vAC 3.4a surplus
power supply (Atari, I think) for $5 from Marlin P. Jones & Assoc., one of
my favorite
surplus catalogs. They carry a lot, but it seems that they specialize in
power supplies of various types. When I'm building something, I go to them
for the power portion of the project.

Spam is bad. Spam is theft of service. Spam wastes resources. Don't spam, period.
I am a WASHINGTON STATE resident. Spam charged $500.00 per incident per Chapter 19 RCW.
Greetings,
I finally got around to trying the Profile hard drive someone gave me,
with my Apple III, but I can't get it to work. I haven't tried
formatting, but I wan't to leave that as a 'last resort', in case there's
something useful on the drive.
I opened up the drive when I first got it, to see what's inside. The
actual drive mechanism is a full-height 5.25" jobbie, and IIRC it's 5MB.
I don't remember who the manufacturer was.
I power up the drive first, and wait until the READY light stops blinking.
I have no Apple III docs, I just 'guessed' that that was the proper
procedure. I don't know if it is yet.
I then boot up the III with the SOS 1.3 Utilities disk. I've used the
configuration program to make .PROFILE active. The configuration file
reports the following:
item field value
1 - Device Name................ .PROFILE
2 - Device Type................ $D1 Block, Read, Write ( range 00..FF )
Formatter present; NonRemovable
3 - Device Subtype............. $02 ( range 00..FF )
4 - Driver Status.............. ACTIVE
5 - Comment
Apple /// SOS Profile Driver (C) Copyright 1981, Apple Computer Inc.
6 - Configuration Block data
Slot Number................ 04
Unit Number................ $00
Manufacturer ID............ $0001 Apple
Block Count................ $2600 (9728)
Version ID................. 1.00
I can't edit the configuration block data, though. If I go down to item 6
and hit RETURN, I get to the "Edit Driver Configuration Block" screen,
which looks like it should have at least 16 values on it. It only
displays "[FF]" at location 00, though, and although it says I can use
arrows to go to other values, the arrows don't do anything.
If I go to the "Device handling commands" section from the main menu, and
attempt to Verify .PROFILE, the READY light on the Profile blinks, there
is a clicking noise, and the READY light goes out. The program reports
".profile - Volume not found". The READY light stays out for a while,
blinks a few times, then comes back on and stays on.
If I go to "List devices configured", it pauses when it gets to .PROFILE,
and reports "(no directory)", and the drive behaves exactly as with
Verify.
It's possible the drive just needs to be formatted, but as I said, I don't
want to do that until I'm sure there's nothing salvageable on it.
I'm not even sure I've got the cabling right. I assumed it takes a
straight-through 25-pin cable from the ProFile controller to the drive
unit. No twists or turns along the way?
Also, I've got two Profile controllers, one in slot 3 and one in slot 4.
I coulfn't get it to work at all from the one in slot 3, simply because it
seems to have been preconfigured to look at slot 4.
Any helpful info will be appreciated.
Hopefully I don't get frustrated and try formatting the unit before I get
a reply. :)

Hello,
I'm looking for an old Altair 8800, and I need to know if it is possible to
buy one or if you know of anywhere, where I could get the plans for it. Any
information that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dustin

Hi William:
I've never heard of these, but am supposing that they are some type of heat
sink.
If you can give me a better description I can see if I can get some. I will
be going back to the machine room next week.
