Unibus bits

by Paul_Koning＠Dell.com

One of my colleagues was cleaning out an old lab and came across some modules. I don't have any use for them but I figured someone here does. I have one M9014 "Unibus to H854 adapter board". (What is that, anyway?) Also, three M9202, those are the Unibus jumper cards with 2-3 feet or so of Unibus cable inside. If I remember right, those were supposed to be used to break up a long Unibus. I suppose they are acceptable as substitutes for the regular (M920) Unibus jumper. Any interest, please drop me an email. paul

Old password protected laptop drive

by teoz＠neo.rr.com

I recently won an IBM 540MB laptop HD for the old Thinkpad 755 series and I found out it is password locked. IBM DHAA-2540 Security level MAX All I want to do is erase and use the drive, to do that I run the ATA command security erase prepare, and then security erase unit. To do the latter you need a master password which I don't have (tried all spaces). Anyone happen to know what the default password would be for that series? If the master password was changed from default is it hosed permanently? Any other way around it so I can use the drive?

OEM Screentyper / network-capable ASCII terminals?

by jules.richardson99＠gmail.com

Mention of this on another group got me curious - anyone ever come across an 'OEM screentyper' before? From what I'm told it sounds very like a text-mode ASCII dumb terminal (Z80 CPU, ASCII display, diskless) - yet it has a network port on the back, rather than an RS-232 connection to some other intelligent machine. In other words, it sounds old and simple - but seems unusual if its connection to the outside world is via a direct network connection. I'm awaiting more details to see if the person who told me of it can recall if it was Ethernet or Token Ring or something else (and that it not being just RS232 via a non-standard connector can be ruled out), but I figure someone here may have heard of it anyway. I wondered if maybe it was a packet monitor or some sort of data logger rather than a data-entry device... cheers Jules

Programming 68764 EPROMs, redux

by cclist＠sydex.com

It dawned on me that perhaps a 200MHz P1 was too fast for my parallel- port programmer (M2L EZ-EP). I hooked the programmer up to a 16MHz 80386 system and bingo--the EPROMs blank-check and program correctly. Speed kills... Thanks for your suggestions. --Chuck
