Onderwerp: Re: HP-IB Medusa chip
I'm trying to repair a HP260/30 which fails self-test at
step 9 (HP-IB
Programmed I/O test). It seems that the HP-IB
interface
card is the cause.
There's a 1TL1-0001 HP-IB controller IC and
I'd like to know if it
could be replaced with a 1TL1-0006. The other ICs are all
standard TTL
(apart
From what I rememnber, they are very similar
devices... Somethign is
telling me that the -0001 needs a 'strange' supply
voltage or
bias signal, or something like that, the -0006 doesn't.
Wether the pin on the latter chip is a no-connect I don't know.
The HP98265 high=speed HPIB card for DIO machines uses one
version of the Medusa, if you can track down the manual for
that it might give you some help. I should be able to dig out
a pinout for it if that's any help.

I'm not sure but I think the first versions of the medusa were SOS chips,
(Silicon on Saphire).
I know the 1000 L versions and the 500 series used SOS chips, I'm not sure
for the HP 260's.
