Model 100 tape archiving question

by rcini＠optonline.net

All: While cleaning up the shop I found a few Tandy Model 100 cassette tapes. What is the best way to archive them? I?d like to do two things ? first, make a reproducable copy. Second, have a data extraction so I can add support for them to the VirtualT emulator. Any ideas? Thanks.

*workstation* monitors

by chrism3667＠yahoo.com

I realize that these are the things least likely to get held onto, due to their mass and bulk, but if anyone should happen to have a large screen color or b & w monitor they're looking to get rid of, let me know. The b & w units were somewhat common on top of Macs, and any such thing would be uncommon on a peecee, particularly an early unit (< 48khz horizontal frequency) which is what I would want in the way of a color model. Reasonably good condition, and *reasonably* close to Pennsylhoma/New Jersey. I can't give specific models, but I'd happy to do the research if you can provide a model. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/

SCSI/IDE laptop adapters

by sw＠tiac.net

Hi, this message is a kludge to get through to der Mouse, but you-all may find it interesting. I have two of those Century CHB25INT adapters (but I'm not willing to sell one right now). See: http://www.tiac.net/~sw/2006/03/scsi_to_ata/index.html I paid about $100 for a single unit direct from Century.co.jp . Mouse, you sent me email about my SCSI/IDE adapter experience. My reply below is proceeded by the kind of bounce I got trying to send it: >From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon at elasmtp-masked.atl.sa.earthlink.net> > mouse at Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA > SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection: > host Sparkle-4.rodents.montreal.qc.ca [216.46.5.7]: > 550-I won't talk to 209.86.89.68 until 2007-08-25 17:05:48 UTC, because > 550 it keeps connecting and then not sending anything. >http://www.tiac.net/~sw/2006/03/scsi_to_ata/index.html gives your >address. I was looking for just such a thing, but for a SPARCstation >Voyager rather than an Apple laptop; this page looks very helpful. >Thank you. I haven't had perfect results with the adapter I talked about in that page. I was able to boot, copy 250MB files, etc., but invariably the computer would hang after a while (in a way it doesn't do without that disk installed). It could be The ATA disk The adapter design The particular adapter The driver I have installed, or its timing parameters Apple's SCSI implementation (has been buggy on me before) External SCSI Zip and/or CD drives I had plugged in at the same time. Mac OS 8.1 problem with big HFS+ partition? Some unrelated problem with this OS on this laptop?? The hang-up does seem to happen when using the disk, but then, that's all I was doing! Probably with more time or expertise I could narrow it down since I have two disks, two adapters, and multiple sources of drivers. Thanks for the SCSI details. No, I'm not sure about 66-pin SCSI. --Steve

DEC switch handles

by bfranchuk＠jetnet.ab.ca

How many people need replacement switch handles for DEC switches? How many and what size and colors? I wonder if we can get the quantity needed and have a custom order made in china? Ben alias Woodelf

Datapoint Yahoo mailing list

by aek＠bitsavers.org

For people interested in Datapoint, there is a mailing list, but it is not very heavily used. Unfortunately, it is moderated, and it may be several days before messages get approved. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DatapointComputers/

Datapoint 1800 firmware listings

by aek＠bitsavers.org

I scanned a set of microcode and boot rom listings for the Datapoint 1800 over the weekend, along with some technical information on the later Datapoint machines under http://bitsavers.org/pdf/datapoint Hopefully, some more technical info on the later machines will surface. I think Jack Rubin mentioned that he had some.

HP 264x firmware listing

by aek＠bitsavers.org

> There are several binders that cover tape, graphics, terminal, I/O and > so on. I can try to scan it if you like. That would be good to have scanned. I have machine-readable versions of the base firmware for the terminal. > I also have the complete > maintenance manuals for the terminal and interface boards, including > schematics, but they are difficult to scan due to the paper size. I have most of the manuals scanned (there were MANY options available for the 264x). The only practical way to scan the 11 x long sheets of schematics HP uses is with a wide sheet feed scanner (like the Ricoh IS520 or Kodak 2500d) and do it in overlapping sections.
