Hello, all:
I came across an Applied Microsystems in-circuit emulator on eBay
and wondered if anyone on the list has any familiarity with it. It's model
627593, 750-03207-00 and comes with one pod, model 68360-33. Any idea how
this is configured?. Google info is pretty limited except for the
announcement that Applied went out of business and sold out to Metroworks.
Thanks.

I used the applied microsystems emulators about 15 years ago, and they
were pretty nice at the time. I believe the pod is for the Motorola
68360 microcontroller which was one of the 68300 family, based on the
68020 core plus microcontroller type peripherals.
Regards,
Clint

Semi-off Topic:
I was at LinuxWorld yesterday oogling all the 1U rackmount cluster systems
there, and all that they could fit into them. It was almost funny how the
tried
and true classiccmp method of mounting the planar components pointing up,
so the heat "falls up and off" kinda got lost.
All but one of the 1 and 2U rackmount system sellers had their boards
mounted
horizontally, trapping the heat, and they had to compensate by mounting tiny
overworked fans all over the place to compensate.
Hilarious in a way, and I imagine if we look back in 5 years this will all
be different.

I have a lead here on a TF86-BX that I'd like to take up
but while the seller says it is indeed a TF86 (DSSI), the
drive has labels on it that say TK86.
My question is: are these in fact the same thing?
I can't recall hearing of a TQK8x controller, in support
of his claim.
Thanks in advance,

The TK86 requires either a DSSI or SCSI board. With the DSSI
board, it's a TF86; with the SCSI board, it's a TZ86. I have
not seen a controller board that will directly control the TK86
drive.

Looking at my TF86 drive, there is a card that has a DSSI connector
and on the other end, just like the scsi/TK-interface adaptor card in the
scsi-TK50s and TK70s, is the same connector and thinner cable that the
other TK drives have as their native interface. The impression I got was
that the dssi card was just a dssi TK adaptor.
a test would be to put the dlt drive on a tk70 controller or put a tk50
or such drive on the dssi card and see if either of them showed up on the
other interface... never tried it though

The *drive* is a TK86, there are two bridge cards, one to make it a TF86
and one to make it a TZ86. I used to have one of each but I used the TF
bridge card in a 4000/600.

Are we supposed to lay the racks down on the floor instead? :-)

There are probably horizontal fittings to buy for racks to
mount pieces to at 90deg angles, but a little hard to find.
It's more a criticism of the system manufacturers.
I wonder if disk drives fail at the same rates horizontally
as they do vertically (an open question) ?

Rich,
I have a couple of the older AMS emulators (Z-80 and 8085) and they seem to be pretty
nice emulators but I don't know anything about the newer style ones such as the one in
the auction. However the AMS stuff seems to be fairly common and there's always a
couple of pieces of it on E-bay. There's one of the older ones like mine on E-bay
right now. It's at
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3308093129&category=1504>.
Al has the copies of the manuals for some of the stuff on his website.
BTW I need a pod for my AMS Z-80 emulator if anyone has one.
