Hi, Recently bought an 11/04 on epay, seems to be in fairly good shape, it has one mass storage card in it, and it's one I'm not familiar with. Quad Unibus, bright green PCB, made by SMS, model FD1100I. A single ribbon cable, which seems to be identical to a modern 3.5" floppy drive cable, except it's keyed differently - a 'corner' pinhole is filled. Boot ROMs on the M9312 are hand lettered E35-4325 (ROM 1) and E33-4325 (ROM 2). It boots into an apparently standard console emulator. Any clues? The 'FD' part number and the fact that it *looks* like a floppy disk cable might be a bit... obvious! :-) Cheers Mike http://www.corestore.org _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Power pinouts for Compaq SLT286?

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Thanks, this is a good start. Question, though: on the brick, is pin 4 positive or negative? Bob -----Original Message----- From: JP Hindin [mailto:jplist@kiwigeek.com] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 3:19 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Power pinouts for Compaq SLT286? <snip> The battery, when looking at it towards the connectors: ---------------------- | XXXX | |______________________| Where X's are contacts, from left to right: GND, 12.5v, 12.5v, 13.3v (Batt is Compaq part #130538, Model 2682) I don't know enough about electronics to understand how the power supply works. The unit has two lights, which I'm guessing are 'On' and 'Charging Battery'. When the unit is first turned on, the 'On' pulses. There are Eight pins, not 6: (Piss poor ASCII arrangement on left, my pin numbering on right) X X X 1 2 3 X X X 4 5 6 _ _ 7 8 If you cross 3 & 6, the 'On' light stays on, presumably the trigger to tell it to send voltage. With one probe between the 3&6, and another on 4, I get 18vDC. <snip> JP Hindin

Locating older systems & parts... (was: RE: making disk images)

by Edward.Tillman＠valero.com

Hmm... And which "Texas" might that be? Sure isn't here... Most of the Salvation Army, Good Will and other similar stores in San Antonio tend to throw away computers and parts. But, you never know when that's going to happen, so ya gotta dive their dumpsters daily. Often, all you come away with is the stench. (Why do they always seem to park these places next to Class-D or 1-star restaurants?!) On the other hand, local pawn shops seem to do a booming business in computers -- and they target an audience of suckers - i.e.: if you want an old 386 or 486 machine, they're available -- if you have no clue about computers, and want to pay similar prices to a new Gateway or HP!! It doesn't make much sense, and a lot of working classic systems just sit around collecting dust, but getting a pawn owner or manager off-center and into reality is an absolute b-tch! '...shows ya how much the 'rank-and-file' really know about computers down here... Cheers...

I nearly cry whenever someone from Texas starts talking about what they picked up off the curb-- it's generally better than the stuff I can buy around here. D@mn the Salvation Army and VOA-- they're out to make a profit around here.
