Well, I finally got it. Took it apart and found that whomever owned it previously already mounted a power switch in the back and runs all the AC voltage thru there. There is alot of corrosion on the ICs in the front panel, I'm going to need to spend some time cleaning everything up there. One switch and two switch covers are broken but those are easy to replace. Four of the 100 pin card edge connectors need to be replaced (two are just way too loose and corroded, the others are broken). Everything else seems to be fine (the power supply is okay and supplying the proper voltages). Now all I gotta do is order all these parts and enough S-100 cards to complete a CP/M system and I'm all set. Wish me luck! Tony Dellett

Dual floppy drive

by mbg＠world.std.com

I recently got one of those combo drives -- the one with both a 5.25" and a 3.5" floppy built in. It is the Teac FD505... I currently have a Teac FD-55GFV (RX33) on my RQDX3 at home... is anyone familiar with the two drives? Can I replace eht RX33 with the combo drive and get it to work? I've already tried simply using it as distributed... and the controller (sorry, its the RQZX1 controller, not RQDX3) sees the two drives. But when I try to access either, they get directory read errors on disks I know should work... Any help appreciated...

I thought it was www.stardivision.com. Normaly it is www.stardivision.de/.com but .com doesn't work. Staroffice 4.0 (SP3) Non-Comercial is availabe via http://support.stardiv.de/service/Download/SO40_Final/Linux/so40linux.asp or for 78 Mark as CD direct from them via https://support.stardiv.de/VertriebSecure/onlineshop/src/linux.asp these are at least the pages I know (if you need help for the forms, just ask). Compared to the downloadtime tis price is still ok. Gruss H. -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK
