The high voltage spike created when the magnetic field colaspes. AKA
Reverse EMF pulse.
You need a very large coil or the secondary of a 30kv+ transformer.

Yes! I admit it! I use Outlook Express which is why I messed up so many
times! If only I used PINE *sob*sob* I'm ruined!!!

Got two of them. One of them is an IBM 4968, not terribly difficult to
figure out. But the other one has me stumped. Model number
0920940-98-125OU, I'm not sure if that means it's a 920 or a 940... Part
number 155000-103, Option B. Found some spare parts lists at
www.4cipher.com that seem to match, but they don't have much info. And I
thought I would come here to the list before bothering their sales
department(only email address I could find), as they rarely know much of
anything that isn't in production...

Question:
Are the terminators for the RL and RK drives the same?
No part number on outside of any of the three terminators I have on hand.
One was found on an RK07 another on an RL01. All three have a Cermet
network with 40 leads connecting to each connector pin. The P/N on each
Cermet network is 13-13242.
Just trying to make sure as I'm trying to get an RK07 running w/11/34A an
RL02 w/11/24 and neither disk is accessed by its processor. Yes, the cables
are sorted out as to whether they're an RK or an RL type.
Thanks for the info.
Regards, Chris

I seem to remember reading about this - perhaps in the "Straight Dope".
A quick www.dejanews.com search led me to a Toyota FAQ that confirmed
what I remembered.
Newer "low rolling resistance" tires don't contain as much carbon black
as they once did, which makes them more of an insulator, which means
as they turn they're picking up a charge relative to ground.
Other articles I saw mentioned this was a problem with AM radio
reception, causing sparks as the charge dissipated as you drove,
and for toll booth operators you'd touch during a drive.

Strangely, I also found an article about the magnetic fields
generated by rolling tires: <http://www.microwavenews.com/3-98story4.html>

Ok here's one for all those of you familiar with the older IBM iron. I
have just fallen into a unit that looks much like a TRS-80 model 3 or 4
(all in one in other words) that has two 8" floppies, a CRT, built on
keyboard. It says it's a model 5322 and the face says it's a System/23
unit. This is before my time I'm sure (my time in messing with pooters).
It has a 9 pin d-sub with a jumper loop on back and then further up the
back it has another, but open, 9 pin female d-sub. Token ring maybe, or
where a twinax adapter might go?
Whatever info you have would be great, and if anyone has an interest in
this heavy bugger let me know. I haven't even powered it up yet but it
does have an original IBM floppy in it, not even sure if it's a boot
disk or not.
I have a weird feeling it's a wordprocessing terminal. It even has a
keyboard overlay that sits above the keys.
