Anyone looking for these old WD controllers? I've got a mixed tube of the WD37C65-02 parts and the SMC FDC37C65B equivalents. $10+shipping takes the lot. --Chuck

ISC Intecolor 8300 terminal

by arcadeshopper＠gmail.com

I recently picked this up from shopgoodwill and it has an older power plug. It is NOT a standard plug as shown in the picture below that is too tall and pins are smaller etc.. Anyone know the name of this 'standard' so I can find a cable? Or possibly have one around I can get from you?

> From: John Welch > CLR > 765000 > LAD > EXAM > 'Bus Err' light comes on. Oooh, that's very interesting, and illuminative. The ROM isn't working (so there's no way for the software console to work - its code is in that ROM). So look at Section 1.5 of the Technical Manual http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/unibus/M9312_TechRef.pdf and make sure all the jumpers on the M9312 are as required. In particular, jumper W-8 should be _out_. If it's not, that would explain why the ROM at 765000 isn't resonding. If it's in, that M9312 board probably has a problem. Also, while we're at it, it's probably worth making sure the CPU will run. Do this: CLR LAD 777 (This is a 'branch .' instruction) DEP EXAM (Should display '777') CLR (I think you can dispense with these LAD two, but just to be safe...) CTRL-START 'Run' light should come on CTRL-HALT 'Run' light should go out, should display '0' (or maybe '2', I forget) > Do you know which color wire (red, clear, black) goes to which festoon > connector (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4)? I would leave them all disconnected for the moment; you don't need them. One is the 'boot' switch on the console, and its ground. The other is the 'boot on power on enable' (a duplicate of S1-2), and its ground. Since we're trying to manually start the ROM console from the front console, they aren't needed for that. I don't recall offhand which one connects to which - I will have to check. > Don't want to blow anything up. Not sure it will harm anything if you connect things wrongly, but that's not tested. Noel

Any thoughts? Sincerely, John Welch
