Dudez & Dudettez!
Otay, I got everything I need..... Almost. :-/
I have an (apparently) functional Chipmunk drive, an (apparently)
functional interface board for it, and now the cable as well.
I have a computer with SuperROM in it, which seems to have no clue what the
heck a Chipmunk drive is... <sniff> So much for the "easy way out"...
In what little I can find on the InterWeb there was a DOS boot disk for the
'munks, and IIRC it was called CDOS (bookmarks at home, /me at work right
now)...
*Anyone* out there have a copy of the boot disk for a Chipmunk drive? Will
paypal or trade whatever necessary...[1]
[[ My apologies to those who may be subbed to both lists -- It's ontopic
for both, and I wanted to reach the widest audience possible. ]]
BTW, Anyone know of a good US supplier for NiCd (or NiMH would work too, I
suppose) battery packs, or at least soldertab AA, C and/or D cells? I have
battery packs to rebuild for the following equipment:
3 chipmunk drives
Tandy Model 600
Panasonic HHC
Panasonic HHC Printer
and offtopically, whist I'm at it I could "more easily" power 4 homebrew
AVR boards I'm building...
And that's just off the top of my head...
I could possibly build soldertab batteries, I have some silver epoxy
available, but it would be a fair amount of work to do... I'd much prefer
to just buy the things.
Thanks!

[1] I have a few spare Model T's available, I'll have 2 chipmunk drives
available after the battery rebuilds, a couple of kids, maybe the wife,
whaddya want? ;-P
