I thought the
manuals were on bitsavers. The PSU pinout should be in
there.
Yes, the manuals are on Bit-savers but IIRC they don't recall them
giving any details about the PSU.
I will admit that I've not looked at the manuals on Bitsavers, because I
have a real printed manual (actually the DRI version, but it's the same
drive). That manual has a section on the PSU, I assumed the Diablo one
did too.
I assume the manual contains a schematic of the drive. If you can't find
the pinout of the power connector from that, they you can easily buzz out
the connections from the pins on the connector on your drive to the
various voltage rails on the drive mainboard. As I said I think there are
only 3 connections ot the PSU (with multiple pins for each), ground,
+15V, -15V.
The Diablo
terminator is a PCB stuffed with resistors soldered to the
connector. There's a +5V pin on the connector to power the terminator, of
course. I have _one_ of them, I also have 2 drives and the
interconnecting cables, so it's not up for grabs.
Do you have schematics for any of those?
Probably, but you don't need them. I'd try a 180 Ohm resistor from each
signal to +5V and a 390 Ohm from each signal to ground. The pinout of the
connector should be in the manual.
