It just never gave up! I've got a couple of old Panasonic lasers (KX-P4450i (PCL) and KX- P4455 (PS)); circa early 1990s. Heavy battleship construction; separate toner (i.e. out of a bottle, no cartridges). They keep going and going--but lately I've been using the cheap ($100 on a good day) Brother lasers. Great print quality, miserly toner usage (and easy to refill carts) and they don't dim the lights when the fuser comes on. After 3 years on my "short" HL-4050 cartridge with the toner lamp blinking, I finally refilled it with toner I bought 2 years ago. Problem now is what to do with old Panasonics--they use Moto 68K processors internally and have a great deal of nice mechanical components--and AppleTalk interfaces as well as serial and parallel. Probably recycle them, I guess. No inclination to fool with the innards. I'd love to find a good deal on an HP LJ 5si. That 11x17 print format would come in handy. Cheers, Chuck

Those are reliable and #6 is dirt cheap as they are still useable. Also it will work with a lot of the non-pC systems that had centronics or similar inerfaces with minor connector-wire matching.

Who has : HP 6942a Multi programmers manuals

by hp-fix＠xs4all.nl

Hi, I aquired a HP 6942A Multi programmer unit some time ago and like to play with it, but I don't have a manual. Except a partial service manual with can be downloaded and a app-note form the HP- museum. Question does some one has the manuals for this 'beast' paper or pdf ? -Rik

DZ11 distribution panel?

by tiggerlasv＠aim.com

A quick check of the DZV11 and DHV11 user guides, as well as physical inspection of the same panels here would indicate that your panel is NOT meant for either of those boards. Checking both the DZ11 maintenance manual, and the DZ11 technical manual, I see references to the drawing that you mentioned. Further, searching for "54-11928-00" on yahoo returns at least one website that identifies it as a DZ11 distirbution panel. http://www.kuno.de/kunden/kch/modul_54.htm (Search for 54-11928) There is also a picture of the H317 panel in the maintenance manual, but nothing definitive.

AFIPS Press

by aek＠bitsavers.org

> First, the questions: does anybody know what happened to AFIPS Press? AFIPS was an association of computer associations, including IEEE and ACM. ACM is asserting copyright on the JCC volumes. I just finished scanning CHM's collection of the proceedings for the ACM digital libary, they are in the process of putting them on line. I would check with ACM for permisssion to post, since CHM received permission to post the entire collection on their web site in exchange for scanning them.

Burning CDR's on an ATARI ST

by michaelgreen42＠comcast.net

I've got some Atari 520's laying around and was wondering what it would take to burn cdr's with them. I've seen ACSI to SCSI adapters (I'm assuming this is necessary). Assuming I hook up a SCSI CDRW to this what software would I need to burn disks. Is there an easier way perhaps using some kind of ide adapter or a straight SCSI host adapter. Thanks.

New Honeywell H316 video on youtube

by hachti＠hachti.de

Hi folks, last night I took some 2006 dv footage and prepared it for youtube. Perhaps some people here like to watch that blinkenlights stuff. I show compiling and running a program on the machine. Not too detailed, but very nice moving images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxVbRz6udmI Comments strongly appreciated! :-) Planning to do a more technical video another time. Best wishes, Philipp -- http://www.hachti.de

DZ11 distribution panel?

by iamvirtual＠gmail.com

Hi, I am trying to confirm whether a distribution panel is meant for a DZ11. On the metal frame there is a tag with a part number of 70-16469. The circuit board has a part number of 5411928 5011927C. The maintenance model references the H317E distribution panel and suggests looking at drawing D-CS-5411928-0-1 printset for jumper locations. Does anyone have the printset for the DZ11? Thanks. --barrym
