New subject: Siemens-Nixdorf S400 diskpack, info request
I need information about a disk unit Siemens-Nixdorf S400.
It was mounted on a Siemens-Nixdorf 8870 M55 machine.
I haven't found information in internet.
Someone can help me ?

The link works and the photos show a very nice calculator system! The
9830 was the first computer I really had access to back in 1972.
We also had the Infotek disk system (actually, I still have that box but
no interface or docs) and the plotter but not the card reader, and our
printer
never worked.
Now we just have to find out the best way to ship it all from Canada.
Thanks!

Well I just want the next size smaller HP.
Where are all the *Computer* systems in Canada?

Odd.. I've had very few problems with my 9866A. I just hope the
printheads never fail -- the other components are standard parts,
although some (the shift registers on the printhead driver PCB, and the
dynamin MOS shift registers used as a line buffer) would be hard to find now.

The line votlage is not a problem, at least not with the HP parts of the
system. HP machines of that date (and I know this applies to the 9830 and
9866 because I have both, and I have schematics of both [1]) typically
had a mains transformer with 2 primary windings. One was a plain 120V
winding, the other was a 120V winding tapped at 100 V.
There were 2 slide switches on the back of the instrument, giving 4
possible input voltage settings :
240V : Both 120V windings in series
220V : the plain 120V winding in series with the 100V part of the other
winding
120V : Both 120V windings in parallel
100V : The two 120V windings in parallel with mains input to the 100V
section. That winding acts as an autotransformer, stepping up the mains
to 120V for the other winding.
There might be an issue with mains frequency if that mass memory unit is
an 8" floppy drive. Such drives normally used synchronous motors, so the
spindle speed was controled by the mains frequency.

Other than line voltage it sounds like a nice
system for you... I suspect if you really wanted that bad -- shipping
costs would not be a problem.
Well, it would probably be a small fraction of what the machine is worth,
but even so, I couldn't even really afford the shipping costs, let alone
actually paying for the machine.
