Hi, All
I am looking for repair manuals for a TI 990/12 Business
system. mine has no output from the Power Supply
board. Fans come on. I have dozens of manuals but
all have to do with operations and software. The only
service info. is a folder with full of Xerox tech call
logs and reapir invoices.
The second machine is a Xerox Star. I have the software
and operating manuals. I would like to find the stand
alone common software disk or a disk image. I have only
the network disks and booting it with out the network
server is a pain. Of coarse if someone in the Seattle
area has a Xerox 860 server they want to part with I
can have my own Xerox network and Space heaters. ;-)
I would also like to find the sys admin. type
manuals. (set up, software install)
Thanks, In advance

I was really busy over Thanksgiving, and then I got really sick, I'm
just recovering today, so I haven't had much time to do any tinkering
with computers. I just got home a few minutes ago, and the back end of
my car is sagging from the weight of an IBM AS/400 Model 9404. It's
very heavy, and I can't lift it alone, so it's going to have to stay
there until I can get a friend to help me lift it out and get it into
the house, but I have the panels, tape drive and battery backup unit
inside (I took them out to make it lighter and easier to load).
Unfortunately, the machine is missing it's hard drives, as well as
their carriers. It does, however, have a tape drive installed, and
seems to have it's full compliment of boards. I can't wait to play with
it :). It's not like I need another project, and I really don't have
space for it at the moment, but I couldn't pass it up. I can always use
it as a nightstand/space heater...
Anyway, anyone know anything about this beast? I've only done a little
googleing, which hasn't turned up any information on the hardware. I
need to find at least one drive carrier, and an operating system for
it. Does Linux run well (if at all) on the AS/400? Like I said, I
haven't done much research yet, I'm just trying to see if anyone has
had any experience with this thing. It's an interesting (and heavy)
piece of hardware. It will be fun to get running, provided I can find
the time.

Hello, all:
The other day I pulled my Radio Shack Model 102 out of the hard
plastic case and noticed, for the first time, that the foam padding is
starting to deteriorate.
Does anyone have a source for replacement foam sheets or the like
that I could use to replace the foam in the plastic case? I don't have the
measurements handy, but it might be about 11" by 18" in size and 2" in
depth.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

Eric Smith has a program called tapecopy that will do this under Linux
.tap is <little-endian 32 bit record length> <data> <copy of record length>
with a single byte of 0 for a tape mark.
To create a .tap file from a real tape you:
read a tape record
if it is a tape mark, put out a byte of zero
else
write the record length
write the data

You miss the point. That board source needs to be around for
10 to 15 years. The only way to do that is to make them your self.
Actually, they often use a common board for many different models.
They are still custom and there isn't a truly economical to get around
this. It is the nature of the business. In the near future, you'll see
things changing, even for video. Next year the vga signal you depended
on might not be there. It cost quite a bit to change what
one is doing, even if it seems obsolete to someone on the outside.

Interesting clip. I hadn't seen it before.
At least this is the real game. If you look at Hammacher-Schlemmer and the
holiday issues of similar catalogs, they are selling multi-game units (like
Galaga and Qix, MacMan/Ms. PacMan for example) for $3000.
I've seen these hybrid games up close at the Fortunoff store near me and
they're smaller than the real arcade games and have crappy decals on the
front and sides. Even the coin door on the front is a decal -- not that
you'd need a real coin door for use at home.
For much less you can build a MAME machine (I have a MAME machine in
progress) and have as much or more fun with it.
Now, in Namco's defense, parts alone, using eBay and Happ Controls as a
proxy, might cost $700 or so. I'd figure that $999-$1199 would be a good
retail price.

I'd like to find out a little more about the IBM 5216 Wheelprinter I just received. What computers did it work with? There are only 2 female input connectors on the back, one is marked "T" and the other one "P". Anyone have information on the type of computers this unit was setup to work with?

Hmm, I've got a couple of patch panels identical to the TR-48 shown on
that URL. I got them from Los Alamos Sales, Ed had some huge, multi-rack
analog computer that got broken up and scrapped. It was huge, probably a
dozen racks or more. I took home two panels only.
I was going to just hang them on the wall, they're nice to look at.
IIRC the IBM DisplayWriter. The cables were thin and came to a non standard
D sub 9 pin. There was a cut sheet feeder that might plug into the other port.
It has been a long time.
I think the System 23 also may have connected to that printer also. There
weren't many IBM daisywheel printers.
I had a lot of those go through my hands about 15 years ago.

decimal.
The table in the back of the Access BASIC manual is excellent.
Another response to this thread (November) listed a URL.
Of interest to people pulling apart the HP as well as programmers:
My friends and I once noticed using Access functions (CHR$(7)?)
instead of the single quote ('7) actually took up more storage room.
There was a maximum line length of somewhere between 254 and 256.
Using the single quote (for control chars) allowed for much much longer lines.
So something is different in the tokenizing and it also explains why a
less readable format was used. Although you get used to it. :-)

I think that the 1976 reference may come from the following. Microsoft had
Stand-Alone Disk BASIC, which may have been available in 1976 (I don't have
release dates handy), used a file system that might have been the beginnings
of the FAT scheme.
Then, I found this reference in a June 1983 article written by Tim Paterson
called "An Inside look at MS-DOS". In that article, there's a sidebar called
"A Short History of MS-DOS" (some paragraphs deleted for brevity):
"...In May 1979, Seattle Computer made the first propotype of its 8086
microprocessor card for the S-100 bus. There were brief discussions with
Digital Research about using one of Seattle Computer's prototypes to aid in
developing CP/M-86, which was to be ready "soon."..."
The article continues:
"Microsoft had already started a strong 8086 software-development program.
The firm was ready to try the 8086 version of Stand-Alone Disk BASIC, which
is a version of its BASIC interpreter with a built-in operating system.
During the last two weeks of May 1979, this BASIC was made completely
functional using the hardware that Seattle Computer provided for Microsoft."
Continuing:
"Seattle Computer shipped its first 8086 cards in November 1979, with
Stand-Alone Disk BASIC as the only software to run on it. The months rolled
by, and CP/M-86 was nowhere in sight. Finally, in April 1980, Seattle
decided to create its own DOS."
And more:
"The first versions of the operating system, called QDOS 0.10, were shipped
in August 1980."
More still:
"In the last few days of 1980, a new version of the DOS was released, now
known as 86-DOS version 0.3. Seattle Computer passed this new version onto
Microsoft, which had bought the non-exclusive rights to market 86-DOS and
had one customer for it at the time."
"In April 1981, Seattle Computer Products released 86-DOS version 1.00,
which was very similar to the versions of MS-DOS that are widely distributed
today."
So, who invented the FAT filesystem we know today? Microsoft
(through Stand-Alone Disk BASIC)? Seattle Computer (through 86-DOS)?
To paraphrase Artie Johnson..."Very interesting".

It's a total joke. First of all, the patents referenced on their FAT
licensing website:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/tech/fat.asp
...are for long filenames. They have no patent on FAT, and for good
reasons: 1) software patents were not allowed at the time that FAT was
implemented in MS-DOS, and 2) FAT was basically lifted from another OS.
I have no idea why MS would be so stupid as to think people are going to
fall for this, which is basically a sad-assed ruse. Also, I highly
question the history they are promulgating. They claim they developed FAT
in 1976. That seems a bit early. I could be wrong.
Damn losers.

Even that early model had some sort of emulation or compatability modes
for S36 and S38.
While there may not be a Linux (or AIX) port, there was supposed to be
a way to run... NT? from inside some sort of AS400. ?Maybe post-CISC?
The AS400 was primarily for RPG and COBOL, but did have other languages.
In fact it had C, but I was never quite sure how a ported C program would
work with their batch-IO to terminals...
The batch/script/command language is very strong and fills several manuals.
Manuals! ?200?+ 3" manuals. ?But available on CD for PC or for AS400.
>From IBM of course.
Nothing at all wrong with having an AS400 reel tape drive...
That'd do it for me except for the lic cost. Then Token-ring to an 8228 to
a PC with a TR card and a nic.
There was a way to start subsystems beyond the OS, but you didn't want
to challenge a 9404 too much.
Other comm cards you might see could be one of V.35, X.21 or EIA (~RS232)
And of course twinaxial connections to the console, printers and CRTs.

I have a number of BreezeNet data/power modules. This is a two module set
that allows you to run both data and power over a CAT5 cable so that you
can power, say, a WAP in a weird location where there is no power for it.
It comes with a power supply that puts out 15V AC @ 1.8A (input =
100-240V). The power supply plugs into a "local" module with data in and
data/power out. You then plug in a CAT5 cable from data/power out to the
"remote" module. The remote module has a data port (which you plug your
WAP or remote router into) and a power out jack.
Very nifty if you need to bring power to a device that has none nearby
(like in a ceiling).
These are basically new in the box. I'm asking $5 each plus shipping.
Thanks to Lyle Bickley for helping me figure out what these things are :)

So, if I happen to be the manufacturer of digital cameras, and I write a
program that rearranges the bits on a flash card that was formatted by a
microsoft operating system, and that operating system is fooled by my
arrangement of the bits, I have to pay microsoft?
Even worse is the manufacturer of media. Who is to say that the manufactured
is not using a microsoft operating system to format the media in the first
place. So now he has to pay a quarter of a US dollar for each piece of media
that he formats with his microsoft operating system.
When will this trickle down to charging the end users for each disk they
format, or for each document they create?

Then it would seem to be being used to create a rotating
magnetic field. In this case too samll a value will lead
to a reduction in full speed torque and possible speed
variations, and too large a value will reduce the low
speed torque (i.e. when the motor is running up). However
having said that the value will be a compromise anyway and
+/- 20% either way shouldn't hurt enough to notice.

It is, like the capacitor in flourescent light fittings the
run capacitor on a motor is (usually) just for power factor
correction and it matters not if it's 3 phase or single. The
give away is if it's across the supply or in series with a
separate winding. If it's across the supply then it's for PFC.

Well it's been a while, I just remembered something else about
run and start. We used to have to put "motor run" capacitors on all our
large equipment (3 phase) to get our power factor closer to one (unity).
It wasn't ever used in that situation for creating a second phase, as
we were using 3 phase motors. However, this system is a single phase
system. I don't think the same issue is being addressed by the run
capacitor.

btw, I checked for "motor start" capacitor on google and got a nice
place to buy caps.

Hi
As I think Joe mentioned, the electrolytic capacitors are usually
used as motor run capacitors and not starting. These are non-polarized.
Starting capacitors are usually oil/paper ( newer don't have PCB's ).
This is because the starting capacitors require more current that
would blow up a run capacitor. Run capacitors are used to help
maintain efficiency of the motor while running. They help to
keep a rotating field and help to pull the inductive load back
to a resistive load from the AC side.

Hi
This is most likely an electrolytic capacitor, it is just
that it is a non-polarize electrolytic. These are special
purpose capacitors. If you place a regular electrolytic
capacitor into this circuit it would blow up.
You can use a pair of electrolytics mounted back to
back of equal value and something like a 10 meg resistor
in parallel with each to keep them balanced. The capacitor
values need to have the full voltage rating each and
the value needs to be 2 times the desired value.
Dwight
Motor-start and motor-run are different but the same. A motor-run
capacitor is AC and is connected all the time. A motor-start capacitor
is connected usually through a centrifugal switch (and starting winding)
so it is only connected during spinup. There are many motors that have
centrifugal switches and starting windings without caps. and most of
the caps used are fulltime, that is run caps. Now, my definitions may
not be everybodys definitions, but that was how I was brought up when
I did motor repair and rewound armatures. The giveaway was the
original spec stated 60 cycle, which is a motor capacitor. run or start
is not significant, but if it said 60 cycle, then it cannot be a DC
cap with plus and minus.
As stated in a previous message, the capacitor "creates" a second phase
so you can get the motor to spin. Too little or too much capacitance and
the created phase is not in the proper angle to provide the right
rotation. again, make sure you get at least the minimum voltage, and
getting a cap with more voltage spec is o.k., if you cannot match
the capacitance, I think I would err toward more rather than less.

Hi
Also, be careful, this sounds like a non-polarized cap. Rather
then checking with electronic supply companies, check with people
that do electrical and motor suppies.

This is a real long shot, but hey...
Found this old posting from you, do you by any chance still have the
MEK-D@ manual?
I am trying to get copies of key sections.
Thanks

Well, rare or not, I have both a KIM-1 and a SYM-1. No sign of
the AIM-65, though. I've also got a 6800 development board, the
Motorola MEK-D2.

Hi John
I have picked up on an old thread in Classiccmp so you may not get this or
still be interested.
In brief have got hold of a copy of the utility disc also a data library disk
(coppied with LIFUTIL to a pc emailed & then converted back).
Problem is the applications VT100 etc report "Application Denied" when run,
copy protection?
Any interest in the discs / sorting the copy protection?

Wow, thanks alot Fred and Jochen!
Configuring the KFQSA will be easy now.
A the moment, I don't have a lot of time for BSD but I'll tell you when the rebirth of my VAX4000-200 with NetBSD is complete !

Hi,
Does anyone on the list know anything about LynxOS (a semi-real-time Unix)?
Linux identifies the partitions as Venix 80286 (type 40). I'm especially
interested in a way to mount these partitions under Linux.
I have some experience with Venix on the Pro-350, but not much with Intel
Venix.
Thanks for any pointers,
-ethan

What brand is the chip? Rockwell used to make a 387dx copro that worked
with almost anything, but I haven't seen one since running my old
Packard-Bell 386/12 back in '90...

Subject: information about 80387ex-33
hi ,
I didnot find any information on 387ex coprocessor , not even the
pinouts,
I am trying to interface the coprocessor with 386ex.first i was was looking
for the 387sx as mensioned in the intel 386ex manuals.but the suuplier gave
me the 387ex of which i have never heard off.
if any one has nay information on this misterius coprocessor please inform
me ,i will me very thankfull, i am also a short on time .
thanks

QIC-80 is the format. The cartridge is DC2120. I have an entire bookshelf
full of them - backups from when I ran a bbs for years.

If you care about what's on them, read them before all of the pinch
rollers on your drives turn to goo.
Anyone have a "glass tty" that you would be willing to part with? The
smaller and dumber the better - Perkin Elmer Bantam, ADM-3, etc.
UPPER/lower case option nice but not necessary. My SOROC is great but
just too big and heavy to lug around and I don't want to fiddle with
terminal emulation - just plug and go. No emulations, no graphics, no
detached keyboards, no fat.
Thanks.

Hi Mark,
In http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2002-November/004634.html
I see you're looking for an Emulex UC04 manual. Did you find it? If
you have it available electronically, can I please have a copy?
The reason I ask is that I just bought a PDP11/73 and have a problem
getting 2.11BSD installed. See http://original.xs4all.nl/elfje/
TIA,

I used a similar DAP at Apple in the late 80s
Have tried to contact him, but haven't received
a reply. I don't think CHM has one, and it is
worth preserving.
Greetings all,
Is there a way to change device attachments without stopping the simulation?
This would be quite helpful in a time sharing environment for handling
virtual printouts, virtual paper tapes, and virtual magnetic tapes.
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Tony is right. SCSI is for a Sun connection. VAX is different. Following is
more from the referenced docs:
Each node of the machine effectively consists of a single bit processor,
optional floating point accelerator and node memory.
The DAP 510 is small enough to fit under a desk, while the DAP 610 is housed
in a standard EIA rack cabinet. Both DAP models can be hosted by Sun or DEC
VAX computers and workstations.
The DAP can be connected to a Sun host via the SCSI interface. Connection to
DEC VAX systems is via DR11W or DRB32 interfaces. Connection to the Aptec IOC
is supported as well as direct connection to VME bus.
DAP 510 DAP 610
Array size 32 x 32 64 x 64
Array memory 8 Mbytes 16 Mbytes (max. of 128 or 512
Mbytes)
Code store 512 Kbytes 512 Kbytes (max. of 4 Mbytes)
Instruction rate 10 MHz 10 MHz
host Sun or VAX Sun or VAX
Size 17 x 13 x 20 in. 45 x 25 x 38 in.
The present DAP systems are third-generation machines which started with a 64
x 64 array originally installed at QMC (Queen Mary College, University of
London). The QMC machine, which had an effective cycle time of 250 nsec, proved
highly adaptable to a wide range of numerical problems based on partial
differential equations. The performance on large-scale Monte Carlo simulations in
lattice gauge theory and molecular dynamics was found to be exceptional and, in
some specialized applications such as the Ising model, the DAP outperformed a
CRAY-1 by a factor of 10.
I stopped by a scrap place and picked up an interesting looking board. It
has a number of AM29818 "Diagnostic Resisters" on it. I wasn't familar with
them so I looked them up on the net and found this
<http://www.national.com/pf/54/54ACT818.html> for an equivelent part. Is
there anybody here familar with these that would care to tell me what they
are in plain english?
