Zomg it's been blocked! <Grabs foil hat> Jk. Not sure if you forgot url or tried an attachment but no attachments go through on this mailing list. Be cool to see pics for sure :-) I'm almost surprised that they think it's a secret but I guess that could allow data interception and that defeats the tempest purpose. Otherwise I think the shielding specs are published. I don't know details but it seems like there is a screw every x inches requirement on all the cases I've seen.

Nope - definitely IDE, had an IDE drive in it and someone just either didn't have the sled/tray anymore or just decided to do something on their own.? Either way, I have several of the lines from the cable that are off the through holes for the IDE interface. I've taken photo's, made a drawing of the pinouts on the motherboard and now I'm writing down what each of the through holes are going to on the IDE cable and then will work through the process of elimination and tracing (which is not easy as the motherboard has an RF grid pattern solder layer on the bottom of the motherboard (board is 4 layer) but some time and patience with a multimeter and I should be able to figure out where all of the detached lines need to go to, there are only 5 so hopefully it won't be too much work.?? Still trying to figure out which chip is managing the IDE, I found which manages the Floppy. Yes, the 12v actually has a power connector line run to it for the HD power, along with the 5v and GND's...? I need to redo those as well, they way they were done is not very safe. Once smart thing the person did was run the CMOS battery lines up through the media housing and used 2 AA battery holders to substitute for the CMOS battery and they tuck in very nicely nice to the storage shielding so you only have to undo the 2 back screws and life the back top section of cover off, versus complete taking the entire unit apart to get to the CMOS battery location on the motherboard. Its a very modular design, everything detaches separately, just the massive amount of shielding around everything makes taking it all apart quite the task.?? This'll probably be one of the only pieces of technology still working if an EMP bomb is ever detonated over the US ;-) On 8/15/2019 2:51 AM, Ian Finder wrote: --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

The owner tried them... Grid told him the design is owned by the US Govt and only they have the technicals on it... I was just hoping someone somehow leaked them out. I'm sure Grid has them, they just won't release them out the front door. On 8/15/2019 9:37 AM, Electronics Plus wrote: --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

TEMPEST technology is at some level of secret, and even though particular machines are not classified, the technical means used and the testing protocols to get them to meet TEMPEST requirements ARE secret, still, as far as I know.
