Figured out the Sun 386i supply, how to update the FAQ?

by Chris Zach

Hi all! Been working on my 386i's, all the power supplies are smoked, so I bought a totally burned out one, gutted it, and connected a PC/AT power supply up to the card edge. Sure enough it works, and I now know that it needs +5, +12, -5, -12 (for the ISA bus) and a 5 volt "supply ready" signal as well. Also found the serial console interface works, and realized I should update the 386i FAQ with this information. So what would be the best way to do that in this day and age? CZ

Finding tar block size.

by Chris Zach

Trying to tar a directory and transfer it to my AT&T 7300 (SVR2 unix). Tar -tf works fine on the Mac OSX, but when I copy it over the Unix (not gnu) tar gives me a: Tar: blocksize = 20 directory checksum error When I try to tar -tf the file. Which usually means the block size is off. Any way I can check to see what the block size is on a modern system (like a Mac)? tar -tvf doesn't seem to tell me. Thanks! C

I notice you use Tarbell disk controller... difficult to use the SCP DiskMaster? I don't find many references to systems running it. It supports SD/DD 5.25/8... I had planned to go 5.25" - Ethan

A year or so ago, I tried to figure out how to even see a detailed breakdown of eBay's costs and commissions on several servers I'd sold for a client. I gave up. I'm convinced it is purposefully opaque. You get what you get. - John

PDP 8a front panel hardware

by Bill Degnan

Is there a 3D print gcode for the hardware that connects a PDP8a front panel to the chassis? Is there anyone who has a spare clips/clamps hardware to attach a PDP 8a console to the chassis? I picked up the donated PDP 8a mentioned earlier on this list, I got it up and running. I need to track down the hardware to attach the front panel to the chassis. I do have spares of the hardware that attaches the ON/OFF panel to the chassis. AS with all "free" donations it's the final mile that costs the big $$ Thanks Bill

Seattle Computer Products!

by Ethan O'Toole

At this point I have achieved the SCP CPU card, a CPU support card and a Disk Master card. So hopefully all I need is some kind of 16 bit RAM board and a 4 slot S100 backplane and I can boot 86-DOS. I have started to read through the documentation on the hardware. Has anyone else been down this road and built a system to run this? - Ethan -- : Ethan O'Toole

Apple G5 Rebuild

by Kevin Parker

Hoping there's an Apple enthusiast out there somewhere please. A friend gave me a PM G5 which I'd love to add to the Apple corner of my collection. Must admit I love the G5 case. Problem is the internals are in a million pieces but everything seems to be there. Its not a basket case, more like a bucket case because I took the side off and basically poured it all out. My options are. > Toss it > Use the case for an ATX conversion > Use it for a letter box > Have a crack at fixing it. I like having a crack at fixing things first. I'm a preservationist first. Problem is my GoogleFoo can't find any diagrams, illustrations etc on how the internals are put together and I'm hoping some Apple person out there might have something or be able to point me somewhere. (I did find some photos at https://www.overclock.net/threads/power-mac-g5-build.1452312/ for a twin CPU model but I need more detail for a single chip 2.0 GHz PowerPC 970MP (G5) model.) Thank you.

PALM assembler (IBM 5110)

by Steve Lewis

There is a note from Christian Corti last updated 2017: "..assembler listing generated with AS V1.41 from Alfred Arnold. ...which I have added a code generator for the PALM processor." I believe I've found a V1.42 of this on github. But the 5110 support is not listed in the github or pre-packaged builds. If Corti is available to help resurrect the notes on doing this, or if is more familiar with AS and can help get things going? Thanks! Steve

Copy of the 8080 instruction encoding reference from /dunfield

by Manna5＠Safe-mail.net

In the past, I have found a well written Intel 8080 instruction set reference on the ClassicCmp website (at http://classiccmp.org/dunfield/r/8080.txt). But now that URL returns "not found" message. Fortunately, I have already saved that document on my PC local disk, and now you can get its copy from http://manna5.c1.biz/8080.txt . Also, I want to ask if mirroring content from ClassicCmp is OK for the ClassicCmp community, or maybe it isn't OK and I should remove that copy from my site? _____________________________________________ Jan "Manna5" Mleczko, http://manna5.c1.biz/
