So its not just the motor board... There are about 4-5 boards sandwiched and folded over each other in that thing and all of them have electrolytic caps and they have all leaked by this point. I just opened mine up, got all the values and their height dimension, and ordered new caps as close as...

Well I ended up getting away with the exact method I theorized with some extra convoluted steps to get a functional emulator MO disk. Also tried a few other things as you suggested stepleton, and no the `c` or `h` (as someone else suggested trying) partitions does not work to capture the entire...

Guess no-one contacted you with a working drive. I have mine working reliably. Another friend also got his working reliably. The bigger problem is figuring out how to actually image the disk. It looks like one solution is to use the "dump" command, then I guess in the 'previous' NeXT emulator...

https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=519&acctid=7484 Obviously not mine. Saw this on the site before but didn't post it because they were asking 100 dollars starting bid, thought that was a little high. Good thing I didn't because now its only 50. Remember that you have to...

So I finally got around to completing my 2400 mile round trip to Minneapolis, MN to pick up the DG Nova 4 I purchased about 6 months ago. This system is in an original DG rack with the main chassis and expansion chassis for the disk controller and extra serial ports. This system has the RL01...

So I recently received some unknown boards and other bits and after a bit of research (and looking at the last board I found in the pile of 24 boards) I found out these are boards from an Hatachi H-848X Series tape drive, although the one board has a selection allowing it to be used with an...

Well I wasn't planning on posting about this here but I was asked by another member, who kindly offered to help me, to post the ROM dump I have here so I guess I'll make a quick post about what I'm doing. I decided making a homemade Pick and Place machine could be fun but thought buying a cheap...

Well I have just purchased what is now the oldest and one of the coolest pieces in my collection. I can't believe I won the auction for it on eBay let alone for $9!! Here is the auction for the only photos of it as of now since I haven't gotten it yet...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEC-Digital-Equipment-TE16-tape-drive-/291364597815?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d6aef037 Found it a moment ago, thought I'd post it here for others to see.

A friend of mine in Canada found this device in a thrift shop for 5 bucks and sent some photos to speculate its origins or uses. I wasn't able to find really anything about the device and I'm not sure how much anyone here may know but I thought I'd ask around anyway. Its a cool find for 5 bucks...

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/sys/4837367667.html Found this just a moment ago. I'd be contacting the guy myself if it wasn't out in California (live on the other side of the country). I decided not to post this in the Craigslist Continuous Sightings thread to get it more attention. Have no...

Well I've needed a Xircom pocket Ethernet adapter for awhile for my IBM Model 25. So while I was at VCF East 9.1 I grabbed one with its ac adapter for a reasonable price. Quickly after hooking it up and attempting to use it I realized it was a PE2 instead of a PE3. So now I can not find drivers...

Well I got a Compaq Portable II off ebay and upon trying to power on it just cycles its power on and off, after looking into the problem I found a few things to have shorted power rails to ground... The main one as of now is the motherboard... It first had its 5v, 12v, and -12v rail shorted to...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/231089637294?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Found this on ebay, it caught my eye because of its form factor, I have a liking for the all in one style computers like the TRS-80 Model III and 4. Anyway I have yet to be-able to find info on it online, one...

So I've got a microprocessor set up and I'm pretty sure its running the way it should, its not a common one like the z80 or 8086, its a NEC microprocessor. http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dlmain/Datasheets-8/DSA-153131.pdf That one to be exact, I've got it running through addresses and I have an...

http://goput.it/0iq.jpg So this board was sitting in a classroom at my college... Its completely unlabeled other then the letter markings for the chip rows. Any ideas? Its the largest card I've seen... The professor told its a mem card from some kine of 'bee' computer or something along those...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Rare-Gold-SUPER-MATH-CPU-COPROCESSOR-33MHZ-IC-/380271074201 That's ridiculously over priced.... Right? I couldn't imagine it being worth that much... But 12 people are watching it...

Well I needed to get a chip from Digikey to repair something (a Burroughs B25 ram board if anyone is wondering) and decided I would get some other things to start playing around with the z80 since I haven't yet. I have never played around with microprocessors before but I do know the basics and...

There is no such adapter board. As I said this looks like the original drive that was in the machine at purchase it being an IBM drive. Here are some pictures:

IDE? The PS/2's (or most of them at-least from what I know) Didn't use IDE for their Hard Drives. I know they could have expansion cards to use IDE but that's not what I'm working with. This Hard Drive is probably the drive it shipped with new. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2...
