WTB: 8088 pod of Fluke 9010 MicroSystem Troubleshooter

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

The title says it all. I'm looking for an 8088 pod for the Fluke 9010. I have some duplicate pods and I'll swap one of them or buy it outright. Joe

His place is also rather difficult to locate given only an address, so Pat's stash is relatively safe. Now if he'd only keep the Hewlett-Packard gear for me... Cheers, Dan

The cards are untested. They were given to me in a large box of assorted parts pulled during a mass ethernet migration (and other upgrades, there were things like 2400 -14.4 modems as well). I was not involved in the pulling, so I can't say what the status was before they were pulled. I don't have any reason to believe they are bad, but I honestly have no clue about them. (All the parts I did want worked fine, so I would imagine the Token Ring cards work as well) I don't want ANY of them... so take one, take them all... just get them out of here. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

FS: 150 MHz R4400 SGI Indigos!

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

A friend of mine has two R4400 Indigos and some extra SGI odds and ends that he'd like to sell. The first system is a doozy, it's LOADED! The blue sled that he mentions lets you set the SCSI address without removing the drive from the system, unlike the standard black sleds.

TRS-80 Model III

by palazzol＠comcast.net

Sellam, IIRC, it is possible to have the brightness adjusted so that you can see the raster, but the contrast adjusted so that you cannot see the text. If the contrast is the knob that is frozen or broken...then that might be the problem. Strange, these pots tend to get a little dirty over time, but I've never seen one get that bad off. Maybe they were exposed to some kind of contaminant. I've got 3 Model III's, and the worst problem I've had was a bad VRAM chip. Also, if you do have a scope, I remember there was a decent test point where the video data can be tapped on it's way to the video circuitry. That way you can tell if it's a computer problem or a video problem. Good luck, -Frank

Webster WQSMD Controller

Hi all Does anyone have a copy of the manual for this QBUS SMD controller? We need to access the onboard diags/formatter. I believe there is an RS232 port on board (but do not have the pinouts), but I think we could also access it through the console. Thanks in anticipation Kevin

Hi. I'm looking at picking up an ATT 3b2 to complement my 7300. I know the 3b2 has a different CPU type (WE3102?) as opposed to the 7300's 68010. Are they binary-compatible? Specifically, can I use the same install and program media for both? Doc

Found source for NOS tapes/media--need any?

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

Went to a local computer store and their discount table was full of old tapes and media, mostly new factory sealed. I got: DC2120XL XIMAT DC2080 RHOMAT 3m drive upgrade kit with 2120 XL ximat and arcadia dos backup app DC2060 KAPPAMAT irwin 40 128 meg optical disks. There was also other tapes of varying types and sizes, DC600,. lots of syquest 88 (are they backwards compatible with the syquest 44?) , 6120(?) and so on and so forth. If anyone needs some of these tapes, message me and we can strike a deal. Now I can use my IBM 6157 tape drive, and my PS/2's tape backup and M/O drive.

info? Micro Instruments memory voltmeter

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I picked up an intersting gadget today. It's a model 5203C Memory Voltmeter made by Micro Instruments. It has a four digit Nixie tube display and appears capture and display + or - DC or AC peak voltages. Does anyone know anything about these? It has two zero adjustments, among other things I'm trying to figure out exactly what they do. Neither of them seems to "zero" the meter in the normal manner. Also what does "Narrow band" and "wide Band" mean? Changing the setting doesn't change the voltage range so has to be for something else. Joe

OT: Digital Watch Recommendations?

by bill＠timeguy.com

This is entirely OT, but since we're probably all gadget freaks here, I thought it would be a good place to ask. My "OnHand" PC watch recently bit the dust, so I'm in the market for a cool new toy to wear on my wrist. I've had various "DataBank" watches, a Timex DataLink, and the OnHand in the past. Not long ago I got a Kyocera PDA/Phone that handles most of the functions the watch used to provide, so now I'm just looking for something fun. I like BIG, HEAVY, INDUSTRIAL watches, so none of those effeminate little dressy things! I'm currently thinking about either a Casio camera watch, or a Timex "Internet Messenger" watch. Samsung has released a cell-phone watch in Japan, but not available in the US yet, priced at $1,000, and duplicates the function of my existing phone. Any suggestions?
