Hi there,
Read with great curiosity the thread about the above. I own 3
DSD880D30s
and 1 DSD880S8. All are Q-bus. I have the original manuals, and
probably
the floppies that came with them. Also have the RT-11 v4 and v5
modified
drivers. We used them at one of my old jobs for quite some time. If
you
have any questions about them, feel free to email me.
On another note, the 880S8 seems to be dead, but I don't know if it is
the drive or the electronics. The Q-bus controller is fine, as is the
cable,
as they run the D30 just fine. So I am looking for either a good drive
or
a good S8 box to test with. Anything like that in the group of units
you were
talking about?
Thanks

I've recently acquired a DSD880S8, but I'm not sure what condition it's in
(it's probably just fine, but I got it surplus from my 'suplier'). I'd
be
willing to offer it to you, but I don't know its condition. Is there a
way to test it out using the "HyperDiagnostics" panel on the front of the
enclosure?

Hi Joe,
I was the one that asked about the DSD drives. I don't have any DEC
systems so I wasn't going to try and use them but I thought someone else
might want some parts (I wanted the drives). I didn't get any of the
controllers, and boxs and electonics from the drives that I got have been
scrapped but there is still one drive left there that I can pick up if you
want electonics. I'm guessing that it's a DSD880D30 since the ones that I
picked up all had 30 Mb drives in them. I have drivers and diagnostics
disks but no manuals. I send the drivers and diagnostics along with all the
other disks to Al Kossow to be archived. He may be intersted in archiving
copies of your docs as well.
