Finding datasheets on the net (was Disc analyser news update)

Most commonly, I find places that try to sell me parts that haven't been made for 30 or 40 years, but the page is simply a numeric list of every part in some huge number range. How can it be a viable business model to buy google advertising to sell parts that you do not actually have? My guess: counterfeits, esp relabeled counterfeits. Or maybe the advertising cost is so completely negligible that they can afford to put up ads for things they don't have? I remember "too cheap to meter" but that's ridiculous. Tim.

I was not aware that there were Different Publications of his Work. These are indeed compendiums from BYTE. I guess I should have called them Books.

Just another homebuilt TTL machine

by jdr_use＠bluewin.ch

I have put online some pictures and schematics of a rather pathetic homebuilt TTL machine I constructed around 1985 Specs 12 bit wide, 8K ram, 256 word hardware stack. CPU 3 x 74181 Hardcoded instruction set. No blinkenlights, but, almost as good, 4 nixies as display. Since I just cannot be bothered to make a proper homepage, I have just put everyting on my FTP server. Find the goodies here : ftp://jdreesen.dyndns.org/ftp/T3 Jos Dreesen

home brew S-100 PCB manufacturing order

by lynchaj＠yahoo.com

Hi! I am getting ready to make another manufactured PCB order for some S-100 PCBs. These are the S100Computers.com and/or N8VEM boards. These are the S-100 regular prototyping board, S-100 backplane, S-100 buffered prototyping board, S-100 IDE, and S-100 ASCII keyboard. If you are interested in getting in on the S-100 board order please contact me. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Old DEC Power Control 861C

by icipasla＠gmail.com

*Many thanks, I found a leaking capacitor just as you have described. I've ordered new ones and will soon be able to replace it. I'll let you know if that fixes the problem (It should!).** Normand *>* Old DEC Power Control 861C Hi, *>* *>* looks like I am not getting the posting in my e-mail but my messages do get *>* posted. * This issue came up a few months back. Apparently gmail filters the replies to your own messages somewhere (and not to somewhere sensible!). Perhaps somebody else can rememebr the details. >* *>* I found this replyto my previous message by Tony Duell *>* <cctalk%40classiccmp.org?Subject=Re%3A%20Old%20DEC%20Power%20Control%20861C&In-Reply-To=%3Cm1NM4jS-000J3uC%40p850ug1%3E>in *>* the archives. *>* *>* To follow-up, the 861C emits a crackling noise for the first few seconds (20 *>* or so) and then I can hear a relay chattering (very noisy!). *>* *>* Also the light on the front panel is flashing continuously (maybe that's *>* normal.) * old DEC neons tend to flicker randomly (and it's truely random). The basic design is for the mains : Mains in--->filter --->Breaker-+--->Unswitched outs | +--->Contactor (big relay)-> Switched outs The contactor is controlled (in the 861) by a reed relay on the little PCB inside. This has a differentially-wound coil to give the 'ground for on' and 'ground for off' functionality on the 3 pin connector. The reed relay coil is powered by a little transformer/rectifier/capacitor circuit, mostly on the PCB. My first suspicioun is that capacitor. Open it up and look for any electrolytics on the PCB inside. -tony

Disc analyser news update

go here then... http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51242a.pdf that will at least give you debugging information that Microchip released.

Does a Northstar S-100 Bus Horizon Classify as a Classic

by trebor77＠execpc.com

I have a S-100 N* Horizon that I have been trying to get to run for years. Is there anyone out there running one or have one or Interested in one. I also have a bunch of S-100 Vector Graphic Cards, CPU, Memory, I/O Cards but no FDC's I am looking for any S-100 Serial I/O cards that I might be able to just in a Test Computer setup so I can test some of the Cards I have. Also Floppy disk controllers for the S-100 Buss. TIA Bob in Wisconsin
