Does someone on the list have any knowledge about the DEC AUI terminator
and loopback plugs.
terminator p/n 12-22196-01
loopback p/n 12-22196-02
Both of these only have 6 pins, shown below with their signals:
3 TX+
5 RX+
6 +12v return
10 TX-
12 RX-
13 +12v
I tried to determined how they are wired with a VOM, but even on the
Rx20k scale, I could not find any continuity among the pins.
TIA
Mike

I have an idea that the LED and a suitable series
resistor go between the
+12V and Ground pins, and that there are capacitors (and no, I can't
remember the value) between Tx+ and Rx+, and between Tx- and Rx-.
That's something of a guess, so if it doesn't work, don't blame me, but
it might be a start for working out what's inside.

Um... I have a vaxstation 3100 in need of a 10baseT transciever. I CAN just
use an ordinary aui-10bT transciever, right?

Absolutely. I've used such a beast on a 3100 with no problems (modulo
not having enough memory in my machine to rebuild the NetBSD kernel
in anything under a month).

Only on a classic computer mailing list would people use "modulo" as a

bat an eye. :-)

certainly seems to be common useage with computer hackers (and related

New subject: Need plastic door for old Sony floppy drive
Hello,
I just acquired an old HP instrument controller that uses a Sony
MP-F73W-30 floppy drive. The hinged plastic rectangular door (that
covers the disk slot when there is no disk present) is missing, and I
would like to replace it. The beige plastic faceplate itself is present
and appears to be undamaged.
Does anyone have one of these doors--or perhaps the whole
faceplate--lying around, or know where I could find one? (For reference,
the disk eject button is a 1-3/8" wide rectangular button in the center
of the faceplate, directly under the disk slot.)
Also, is this drive a 720K or 1.44M, or is it some other capacity?
Thanks,
Stan

Rumor has it that Stan Perkins may have mentioned these words:

This sounds kinda like the 3.5" external floppy that was available for the
Tandy 1000 EX machines - one of which I just picked up last week & is
available for trades...
If it's the same (I'm at work, drive at home, so I'll check later) it would
be a 720K drive.
HTH,

Stan,
That sounds like the drive that used in the 9122 C disk drive. The big
button in the center is a dead give away. I've never had one open so I
don't know what the model of the bare drive is but it's quad density or
something and it holds twice as much data as the drives used in the 9122 D
or S drives. I think I'm down to my last 9122C but I'll look and see. I'm
working about 14 hours a day right now so you'll probably have to remind
me. BTW what model instrument controller is that?

New subject: Hints/tips for firing up MONROmatic IQ 213 calculator?
Hello all,
I just acquired a MONROmatic IQ 213 calculator, and, although it appears
to be in excellent condition, I wanted to know if anyone on the list had
experience with this machine and could warn me about any potential
"gotchas" as well as give me a brief summary of its operation.
Thanks in advance,
Stan
