IBM 5150 rom: 5700051 at U33 - anyone have this?

by jzg22＠drexel.edu

I'm looking for a specific rom for an IBM 5150 machine: rom 5700051 at location U33. This rom was only used on the very earliest (16-64k MB) 5150 machines. I know Rich Cini has a disassembly of it on his site: http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/classiccmp/files/PCBios.ASM but does anyone have the original binary image? It can easily be dumped from a working 5150 using a dos boot diskette and the instructions at http://mess.toseciso.org/dumping:dump_bios_using_debug/ The actual chip is an MK36xxx rom, which requires a pulse train on /CE in order to read properly. Some eprom programmers will not read these correctly at all, the first byte will fill the entire rom image because the address is never re-latched. (MK36xxx roms will not read properly without a pulse train of HIGH LOW <read data bus then set next address> HIGH LOW <read data bus then set next address>, etc. IBM loved to use these, for some reason, and only switched to real 2364/23256/2764/27256/etc on the ps/2 machines and the later ATs, and on certain expansion cards such as the Xebec hdd controller on the XT,which uses a 2764 for the z80 rom.) The chip can be read in an incompatible eprom programmer by sticking the chip in some solderless breadboard and wiring it to the rom socket in the following way: programmer A0 through an inverter(7404 will work fine) and connecting to rom /CE programmer A1 to rom A0 programmer A2 to rom A1 etc. Data lines connect directly. read the rom as a 27128, then toss the first(0x00), third(0x02), and every odd(0x0x where x is even) byte thereafter, and keep the rest. other than the /CE change, the mk36xxx is pinout compatible to a 2364, which has a different pinout than a 2764 or 27128 does: +--------------+ A7 |1 +--+ 24| Vcc A6 |2 23| A8 A5 |3 22| A9 A4 |4 21| A12 A3 |5 20| /CE A2 |6 2364 19| A10 A1 |7 18| A11 A0 |8 17| D7 D0 |9 16| D6 D1 |10 15| D5 D2 |11 14| D4 Vss |12 13| D3 +--------------+ P.S. does anyone have an IBM 5100 or other machine in the pre-PC 51xx series? I'm looking for info from those, too. Thanks! -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu(@t)hotmail(d0t)com jzg22(@t)drexel(d0t)edu

Slightly OT: SR-52 Service manual

by rikbos＠xs4all.nl

I'm bussy restoring a Ti SR-52 and having some trouble with the card reader electronics. I't's reading prerecorded cards fine, but is not writing data on the cards . And it does not transport the card fully through the card reader, I have to pull the card the last few millimeters before it gets free from the capstand. So I'm searching for a schematic diagram or service manual. -Rik

Insulator/shielding in DEC power supply

TIA - Ian In my VAX 11/750[1], each of two power supplies (2.5v and 5v) also contain this 'heavy' paper separator between adjacent boards. I've noticed that this paper is pretty thick, not quite what you'd call cardstock, but getting close. In my case, I haven't noticed any de-laminating, so can't confirm the copper foil inside, however, I have commented to myself a time or two that each sheet just 'feels' heavy. If there really is foil inside, I don't know how much EMI suppression it would do, since there is no connection of ground or other way to bleed of any incident energy. Rather, I'd guess they probably make pretty good reflectors of EMI, instead. But what do I know, I'm hardly a hardware guy. - Jared [1] Was brainless when picked up almost a year ago, but I've since gathered a set of all of the CPU boards, memory and other necessaries. Just picked up a DEUNA, but still need the cab-kit for it. Fixed the faulty 5V power supply, but now the 2.5V PS is goofy; presently working on that. At this rate, I'm now hoping to fire the whole system up for the first time, sometime before, oh, I don't know, maybe before Christmas?! :)

Next to the Marconi- Elliott works at Rochester airport was (IIRC) a Mullard thermionic valve factory. Not to be confused with the Fisher fluid valve factory at the other side of the Elliott works. Around 1975/6 there was a period when due to car problems I used to wait near the Mullard works for my regular lift home and every night there was another batch of valve testing benches standing outside waiting to be collected. It went on for months, probably carried on after I got my car sorted out.

Schematics of Atanasoff-Berry Computer logic circuits?

I bought the excellent book ?The First Computers ? History and Architectures? mainly because of its content on Konrad Zuse?s relay-based machines. However, in its included paper on the reproduction of the ABC, the authors state: ?In building add-subtract modules, we found the circuits very demanding of precise resistor values. We have evidence that Berry hand-selected resistors from bins until he found ones that worked, and we attempted the same tactic. In measuring the characteristics of 10% resistors, we discovered the distribution about the nominal value shown in Fig. 3. (It?s a graph of a bell curve between -10% and 10% with a big notch in the center of the curve). Apparently, the manufacturer had already segregated the resistors close to nominal value. Hence, we found it necessary to use 1% tolerance resistors.? So, here?s a 14 gate, multistage, direct coupled vacuum tube circuit that apparently requires various hand-selected values of 1% resistors to work properly. Whew!!! I think I?m going to start with something a great deal simpler, like a single flip flop or astable multivibrator using an inexpensive 9-pin miniature dual triode at low voltages to see if I can even get that to work. > Some of the issues: > > 1.

How it works > out in the balance will be interesting. Thanks for that info and it will be interesting indeed to see if this will work. I was surprised to find nothing on low voltage tube logic when there?s so much on the web about low-voltage tube audio circuits of all kinds. True, tube logic is a fairly esoteric subject with no usefulness beyond that of a novelty, but with all of the audio low voltage stuff, I?d expected some tube enthusiast somewhere to have already done something on the logic side just for the heck of it. > Straying completely away from technical issues, and I'm somewhat loath to > mention this, but the animosity engendered by the early-70s court battle > continues decades later.

HP200LX, e-text and vertical reader

by feldman.r＠comcast.net

Vertical Reader (1.11, the file is VR100.zip) can be downloaded from the HPLX S.U.P.E.R. ftp site at http://super.hplx.net/anonftp/pub/. For my personal taste, I found the lines in VR too short, so I wrote a "Horizontal Reader". It's not as polished as VR, but I can send the program and Turbo C source code to anyone who would like it. There is still a moderately active mailing list for the HP 200LX. The link for information is http://eberl.com/HPLX. The old HPLX information center at http://super.hplx.net/ is still up, but most of its links are broken. If you need to get a 200LX fixed, go to http://www.palmtoppaper.com/store/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=27 (in the US; there are others in Europe who do HPLX repairs). Bob

If you really want one of these SGI boxes, I recommend that you contact the seller (he is not me), and ask him if he is willing to drop off the computer at a nearby UPS Store. This chain is in the business of packaging items for shipping. They are not cheap, but it might solve your problem. However, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. are primarily in the business of shipping items that can be lifted by a single person. If the computer weighs more than about 100 lbs, then you would need to contact a freight expediting service or a moving company and make arrangements for palletizing, consolidation and surface transport. Good luck. --Tim

Insulator/shielding in DEC power supply

by IanK＠vulcan.com

I'm reconditioning some H7100A power supply units in a VAX-11/785, and I've come across something I haven't seen before. I'm hoping one of you has. :) This particular PSU was labeled 'Memory Power Supply' and has additional regulator boards for a 15v rail. Slipped between those boards were two sheets of what looked like heavy-duty paper. However, one had delaminated, demonstrating that it is a sheet of thin copper sandwiched between two paper-like layers. That suggests to me that this was intended more for EMI shielding than electrical isolation. I did not see these sheets in another PSU that also had a supplemental regulator. Does this sound familiar to anyone? TIA - Ian UNIX is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are. Ian S. King, Vintage Systems Engineer Vulcan, Inc. http://www.pdpplanet.org

Although this is way off-topic, I think that a lot of the "tube sound" claims may have to do with audio distortion. Here are some audio tests of a type of tube amp I built: http://www.ibiblio.org/tkan/audio/millett.html I saw these tests before building the amp. And since I have a significant hearing loss in both ears, I built the amp just to play with tubes, not for any audiophile reasons. If the people who can actually hear any difference claim to like tube amps over solid-state even if that difference is actually due to audio distortion, more power to them. On the topic of imagining audio differences that aren't actually there, I read the article referenced here way back in 1983.

More stuff to go...

by pat＠computer-refuge.org

I've got a few more things to get rid of this week... I can probably ship this stuff as it's relatively small, but pickup is preferred (and will probably result in a discount :). Sun Sparcstation 2 w/ 12MB ram, and a Matrox CG-12 (370-1370) 3D graphics adapter. $20 for the machine + board or $15 for the graphics board alone. Box of Apple II software, including The Print Shop, companion, and two graphics disks, Flight Simulator, and a few other things. $10 for it all. Everything looks complete, but I haven't tried any of it out. The boxes are included, but a bit smooshed from being stored in a pile for a long time. $10 Dell DLT-1 tape drive, internal. This appeared to work, the one time I tried it. Includes a cleaning tape, and a few DLT-4 tape media. $10 Network Associates "Full Duplex Fast Ethernet Pod", part # NGC-1507601. It has 3 10/100 network jacks on the back (two are MII or RJ45, other is RJ45 only), a serial port, "Sync In" and "Sync Out", and a DIN-8 power connector. Don't have the power supply, but it claims to use 12V at 4.2A. Untested. $10 Three SGI Indigo 2's. These I will not ship, as they're too big/heavy to easily ship. One is an Impact (purple), one an Impact 10000 (purple) and one EXtreme (teal). $10 each I also have boxes upon boxes of (used and degaussed) DLT-4 media. I'd like to get about $1/tape for that.

Sun Workshop 7.0 stuff available

by alanp＠snowmoose.com

My uncle, who develops compiler tools, insisted that, since I work for Sun, I take his 10-plus-year-old Sun h/w and s/w that has been sitting in his garage. Figuring that I might be able to find a better home for it, I agreed. I haven't gone through all of it yet. The most obvious thing in the boxes is media and documentation for Sun Workshop 7.0, C++ compiler 4.2 and Java Workshop. There is Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 media and documentation. I need to go through that to compare with what I already have. There is also a SparcStation 5, a 16" Sun monitor (the one with all of the display control buttons along the bottom), kbd, mouse, etc. However, I haven't had time to go through it and confirm that it works (though it should), what is in it as far as memory, disk, etc., and that it doesn't contain any of my uncle's business info. Once I do, I will probably sell it (for whatever you can get for a SS5 these days). If you have an interest in any of this stuff, let me know. I don't want it to get thrown out, but I don't really want it in my garage either. alan
