Hello,
does anybody out there have the docs available for the TSU05 controller
board used in PDP-11s or VAXes with UNIBUS to connect to the DEC variant
TS05 of the Cipher F880?
The board is M7455, and I am looking for the meanings of the DIP
switches.
There must be CSR address and interrupt vector, each made up by several
individual switches, but in addition to that, an "extended features"
switch and one for "buffering".
Thanks in advance!
Andreas

Hello,
While looking for 3.5" 720K discs to format on a HP-150 that I bought
(yes, I sometimes actually pay money for classic computers,
especially if they're Hewlett-Packard) from Bill Sudbrink, I came
across a set of diskettes labelled
Uptime: The Disk Monthly
Volume 2 Number 1, for instance, is copyright 1986 by Viking Technologies out
of Newport, Rhode Island, and has the following table of contents:
Loan Calculator, Seasoned Clip Art, Stepping Out Demo, TermWorks,
3D TicTacToe, Hacker Interview, Biorhythm, Gone Fishin' DA,
Little Black Book DA and Preview.
I've got at least five diskettes with pre-printed labels, another half
dozen with
typewritten labels (e.g. "Uptime 2.8") and one labeled "The Best of Uptime,
Brought to you by Macworld".
Is there any interest or reason to save these, or can I go ahead and reformat
them without fear of losing something someone on this list might want?
Cheers,
Dan

EMI filter. An interference suppressor consisting of a ferrite tube

But I liked Dave's answer too.

Well, RX50s are 80-track drives, so a 360K drive won't do it...other
than that, most should, I would think.

Let me know if you need any other resources for this
system. We're still using this model -- after four
years of co-habitation, I couldn't know them much
better. We have four or five of these, and one
ultra-rare LXr-Pro8. I get around to doing a fresh
build on them every 4 months or so. That's because
they're part of our benchmarking equipment pool. So
they get reconfigured very regularly. The performance
engineering folks (myself included) use them. And they
certainly do perform well, even if they are bordering
on classic status. I understand you have a source for
manuals already. So anything else you need, please let
me know.
One word of advice. I'd leave the RAM in. It's the RAM
that keeps them running like much newer equipment,
since there aren't that many applications that'll peg
a quad, even an old one, they'll run best with
everything resident in main. Second piece of advice,
put a better video card in. There's an embedded one --
but it's a flicker-fest at anything higher than
800x600.

Hello Pat,
If you read these links, it gives other "perspectives" on
the issue of sniping. I guess you don't like sniping, because
you would like to get the best price you could for your items.
This we do respect.
http://www.geocities.com/phillipcreed/myths.htmlhttp://www.geocities.com/phillipcreed/http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/supersniper/
But the ones who complain that they didn't win an item because
someone sniped them, we have no respect for what so ever. No one
ever lost an item because someone out bid them. They lost the item
because they didn't bid the high bid utilizing the "proxy" bidding
system. Period. These are people that want to blame others for their
own failures which they themselves brought about. They seem to act
like the world owes them something, when in reality, their failure
is brought on because they are too cheap and selfish. They want what
other people have, but are unwilling to give much of themselves to
get it.
A note to all. You'll win whatever item you bid on, if you put
in the high bid while the auction is running, regardless of when
that bid is placed.
As for the ones that complain about prices of goods being
sold on eBay as being so high, these people have been deemed
unsuitable for employment in our organization for being too
ignorant of commerce and economics. It's indicative of serious
flaws in personality, attitude, and intelligence. Generally
things on eBay often sell for a third to an eighth ( and
sometimes even 1/25 ) of what they are actually worth, and
we have hard data to prove that fact. So any that end up out
of work, just know, we'll learn more about what you're really
like by reading the messages you've posted, than we'd ever learn
in an interview. And we do research prospective applicants
in this manner. Thanks Google.

15-or-20 Unlabelled or illegibly labelled floppies. Apparently
related to the Fortune stuff.
{1} Software Documentation in box which should, but doesn't, contain
5.25" disks
{2} P&ID floppy with printed or typed label. Label is identical to
the Fortune Systems floppies except for the logo.
{3} These are BASF floppies with handwritten labels
Unless otherwise noted, all floppies appear to be the "official"
distribution, with the Fortune Systems logo on the label. Floppies are
NOT in great shape, mostly distorted and warped from heat or moisture.
I'm guessing they're probably readable, about *once*.
I'm selling/trading ALL this as-is. I don't have a 32:16 system unit
(everything but...), so it's all untested.
***** Just so there are no misconceptions or misrepresentations, I am
NOT a charitable organization. I spend a crapload of time and money on
this hobby, and anytime I can make it turn a profit, I will leap for
joy. *****
