Ethan,
I'm pretty sure I have a copy of the H-27 manual(s). Do you still need
them? What exactly are you looking for?
Gary

Subject: Jumper settings needed for Heath H-27 disk controller
As I've mentioned before, I have a Heathkit H-11 with
standard Heathkit
disk controller. The disk controller locks up the CPU if
it's in place
in the interrupt chain (it will begin the boot process if it's behind
all the cards with a gap in the grant chain, but after
loading the boot
sector and turning on interrupts, the OS, naturally, won't run).
So... I have tested all the TTL chips in a chip tester. What I can't
test are the 88xx bus chips. From tracing the grant pins, I think
the 8837 is what hangs off the interrupt lines. I have finally found
some (unsoldered) loose replacements. What I still lack are
schematics
or at least a jumper map.
The jumpers have been soldered and cut and resoldered before
I received
the card. As a result, I have no idea what they are supposed
to be set
at. Does anyone know the state of the jumpers for default operation?
Thanks,
-ethan
