HP Jamaica HASS deskside in search of a new home

by whdawson＠verizon.net

I was given this a few months ago and finally had the time this evening to look it over. I was told it was fully functional when removed from service last year. It's in outstanding clean condition and both bays are fully loaded with fast/wide differential SCSI hard drive modules. It is located in Washington, PA 15301 and is FREE for pick up. I prefer that it leaves here complete, but if there are no takers then I will consider parting it out. I found the Installation/Service Manual here http://www.dectrader.com/docs/set2/emr_na-lpg28396-1.pdf and everything you need to know about this beast is in there. The following modules are installed: Qty Item --- ---- 2 fan modules 6 2.0GB DF 7200 Disk Module (Seagate ST32171DC) 1 18.2GB DF 7200 Disk Module (Seagate ST118273WC) 2 A3538-67002 Power Module (equivalent to A3538-69002) Also included is the bay to bay SCSI cable and the SCSI wide differential terminator. Please reply to whdawson at my gmail.com address. d8^) Bill

JUPITER ACE PCB

by lynchaj＠yahoo.com

Hi! One of the N8VEM builders is interested in making a JUPITER ACE board. He is making a PCB and assessing how many builders would be interested in the PCB. I have little information on JUPITER ACE but it appears to be a small Z80 based SBC which uses Forth. It generates its own video signal and has a keyboard interface. If you are interested in such a board please contact me or let us know on the N8VEM mailing list. Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch

Anyone off to VCF-UK

Frankly, although I'm sure that most people on here are nice folks, there's only a handful with whom I think I'd have much in common and would spend time and money to hang out with and listen to if there weren't something else that interested me (especially since I don't drink beer or eat pizza). Having read some of these comments and especially the sentiment that unless you're a "celebrity" who cares what you have to contribute, I'm thinking the same as Tony, namely why am I wasting my time here? I've got friends who share my interests and there aren't any ignorant jerks like Evan among them nor do they tell me to fuck off; maybe it really is time to rent a dumpster and just toss in those Cromemcos, Vector Graphics, PETs, AIM65s and the 25-odd boxes of manuals and documentation that are taking up space just in case someone might want or need something one day; with a couple of exceptions they certainly aren't any use to me. Something to think about for sure; I may end up actually thanking Evan one day for finally showing me the light.

Tektronix 4010 wiring color to numbers chart ??

by g-wright＠att.net

I have been working on a 4010 and the wiring color code is listed in numbers. Do they have a standard color to number chart ?? I have the manuals just cant find anything on this. As luck would have it. I removed a 2 wire connector from the power supply then noticed there is more that 1 set of matching in the area. - Thanks, Jerry

Between page 5-30 of the 4014 Service manual, 070-2303-00, and The description of the signals related, I bet we could figure It out. http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/tektronix/401x/070-2303-00_4014_4015… Tim.

DEC BC13J-08 - what equipment was this used with?

by ethan.dicks＠gmail.com

Hi, All, I have a few DEC BC13J-08, new-in-bag, and not sure if I'd ever use any. I'm guessing there was some form of DEC Mux or terminal server that used RJ45s, but that gear would be out of the range of what I have worked with (I'm quite familiar with DZ11s, DMF32s, Emulex CS21s, etc) All the DEC-compatible modular serial gear I have is mid-1980s Nevada Western RJ11 stuff. I have more modern Cisco RJ45 serial stuff, naturally, but all I could find on the 'net about the DEC BC13J-08 was offers to sell (for about $15-$30 each!) Obviously I could open a bag and run the eight lines with a continuity checker, but it'd be nice to find some docs to save the time. Thanks for any insight as to what these were used with. -ethan
