So it might be that my suggested cords was right.

I didn't mean to denigrate your code :-) I guessed you might just be
learing about MACRO-11 and the PDP-11 instruction set. I learned by
writing short toggle-in programs, mostly hand-assembled, mostly to test
hardware, and some of them are much more embarrassing than your effort :-)
Yes, it is fun, and I offered the examples purely in the spirit of
contrasting two types of addressing modes, whose syntax isn't always
immediately obvious to a beginner.
Now you can write subroutines, have you tried a little fun with
co-routines?

It looks like I may have been looking at the wrong thing. I thought
he was looking for the older type of HP instrument cord. I don't
know of anything that has oval prongs. I thought he meant oval
housing.
SVT is the power cord style, not the material.
Maybe he needs to be a little clearer. Is this an AC power
connector we are talking about?

I've just picked up a nearly-free NCR model 2119 (class 3400-MSTD). It
appears to be almost exactly the same (probably somewhat newer version) as
the Unisys U5000 I once had. Of course, there's no information available
on the web, and it didn't come with any documentation. However, I do
still have the old Unisys manuals for the moment so I can figure out what
is what (Will: email me if you still want those, I've not heard back from
you in a while).
I've got to get the thing cleaned off outside, and then moved upstairs...
that will be not-so-fun. It's about 30"x30"x8" deep (guestimate
dimensions) and weighs in excess of 100LBS. It has a pair of MFM hard
drives (full height 5.25") a streaming tape drive, and a 5.25" floppy
drive mounted in it. Also has 8 RS-232 DA-15 serial ports, a parallel (?)
printer port, and some sort of other, possibly serial, DB-25 port.
I'm hoping that it still has an OS on it, I might be able to figure out
how to get around and root password it has...
Anyone have more info on the system? I'm gonna get some picture up as
soon as I can drag it up here.

One more time. Anyone?! Would anyone please have an extra power plug they could sell me for my generic S-100 computer? Somehow mine must have gotten given away with other misc. cords. It's the kind with two sort of oval female prong inputs on the computer end. Anyway, I'd be happy to furnish a picture to anyone who needs to verify.

Sigh. I really should read what I've written, before I post it. Being in
a
hurry is no good excuse.
I missed out a whole column (the destination address) in the JSRs! And
forgot
to alter the addresses to allow for the different instruction lengths :-(

Hi all,
I'm ready to attach the controller to the backplane of my PDP 11/23 but
before, it would be interesting to set the jumpers correctly.
On the net, I just found jumper descriptions of the QD33, but the jumpers
are different.
Is there anybody who can tell me how to set the jumpers ?
Moreover, the descriptions on the net are a bit confusing.
Several sites say that the QD32 is an E-SMD controller, while other sites
talk of a SMD-Controller ?
So which interface does this controller support ?
And the last thing: 3 big FSD-500 (CDC) drives (9") are waiting to be
connected.
I hope that the QD32 supports E-SMD as I read that these drives are E-SMD
drives...
Same case as to the controller... I can't find any descriptions or manuals
on the net in order to set the jumpers correctly.
Seagate bought CDC at the beginning of the '90 but they didn't answer me.
Thanks alot for any help !

I recently acquired this through my network of friends
who know I collect "old computer stuff". It's a 2400bps
4-wire leased line modem. Seems to have been manufactured
in 1984. It has a nice case and power supply, that I'll
use for other projects if no one wants it or can make a case
for its preservation. I also have the "Maintenance Information
and Parts Catalog" (First Edition) and a customer troubleshooting
guide.
I seem to recall that there are a couple of modem collectors
on the list. Email if interested.

Hi,
I've just acquired an old Micromint Sweettalker II card (phoneme based
speech synthesiser for Apple II, based on BYTE '84 design) which is
missing the SSI-263 speech chip. Does anyone have an SSI-263P or
SSI-263AP chip they're interested in selling, or maybe another old
speech card that has one on that I can scavenge?
Thanks!
Ben

Does anyone know when the first international-capable modems were sold?
I know that there were Hayes commands pretty early on that allowed
modems to be configured for either US or Europe, but I suspect this may
have been more related to signal standards than to phone line requirements
(such as impedance). I'm looking for a modem that could be switched
between US, Europe, and/or Japan phone lines. Can anyone help? Thanks.

>Did Kodak own Firey? I always thought they were their own company.
Good question. I have only seen 3 Firey boxes ever (and personally used
none). All 3 had big Kodak labels on them, so I just kind of assumed it
was a Kodak product. That could of course be a bad assumption. Based on
the big labels concept, most of my WinTel PCs must be made by apple,
because they all have big apple stickers on them (as well as my old car)
All 3 of the ones I looked at were fat square mini-tower size boxes, two
were beige, one was black, and I have NO idea what was in them (my
"looking" at them was pretty much just that, they were on the floor near
a color printer, I pointed my eyes at it, and looked)

It might be a Kodak Firey (sp?). It was their print RIP for their high
end printing system. I'm not sure what a Sun pedestal looks like, but the
Firey that my Uncle's store had looked like a fat boxy PC mini tower.
It connected via Ethernet IIRC to their Mac, and then connected to a
Kodak printer/color copier unit (might have been an Agfa or Canon
printer/copier, not sure).
I could see one of these coming out of a school's graphic arts
department. I'm not sure how much these are used any more now that many
of the workgroup color laser printers give as good or better quality than
the early color copier/firey sytems, and at a much lower cost.
Or, it might be a newer Kodak photo processor that you find in those one
hour photo places, although I don't know why a school would have one of
those and be ditching it (I was under the impression they weren't owned
by stores, but rather leased as part of the kiosk and had to be returned
to Kodak when they were no longer wanted)

I found a new toy at the hamfest this past weekend. A SWTPC 6800 computer and an AC-30 Cassette Interface. Can anyone asnswer some questions about these? This one has MP-A CPU card, a BOAZ D64kb memory card, a Percom LFD-400B Mini-Disk Controller, a MP-S (serial interface?) card and a MP-L (parallel interface?) card. The MP-L card has a small board hanging off of it with a Datel D/A converter IC on it. Does anyone have any suggestions about whewre to start with this? (After I check the power supply, etc) Does anyone have the terminal connections for this thing? Also the pin out for the Percom Disk controller and info about what drives it supports? and what disks format and wheather they're hard or soft sectored?

Ouch, I really hope that this is not the case; SE30's are rare
here in Colombia. I know that I haven't plugged an external floppy
to this machine in eons. So if it is fried, that came out of the blue.
I did another experiment: I unplugged the floppy ribbon cable and
turned the computer on. No more "...initialize or eject" dialogs.
I've been looking at the SE30 schematics
(http://www.archaic-apples.com/index.php?category=Macintosh&subcategory=Sche
matics),
especially page 2 of the SCSI-SWIM diagrams, where the floppy
disk controller is depicted. I see that the RDDATA line in the
header is tied to the RDDATA _and_ SENSE pins in the controller
chip. I don't see any signal name other than "SENSE" that might
indicate if there is media in the drive. I also see that
all of the lines go through an "RCNET" pack before heading out
to the external floppy disk connector. I wonder if the problem
might be in this device... I'd like to wait for input from you
guys before I turn on the soldering iron.

Not socketed, either :-( .
