All three of mine are QP0013--like yours, house numbers.
A whole book shelf of themHow are you set for 8" disks?
Awesome! I've got some but I'd rather not part with them. Still, I want to see this beast live again!A whole book shelf of them
Well i got s few 8" machines now.Awesome! I've got some but I'd rather not part with them. Still, I want to see this beast live again!
What, if I may ask, does it pay you? Or, did you mean "penchant"?I have a specific pension
I did mean "penchant". Its a very uncreative person who can only spell a word one way.What, if I may ask, does it pay you? Or, did you mean "penchant"?
Extra points if you pronounce it like the uppercrust Brits: approximately "pawnshawn", not to be confused with "pawn shop".I did mean "penchant". Its a very uncreative person who can only spell a word one way.
Well Id like to reuse these ribbon cables. I may need to re-jumper them. Im honestly not even sure how this was connected to my Cromemco. Or if it even ever was apart of it. But My first goal would be communicating with it via kryoflux and greaseweazle. Meaning Ill need to make a connector which is cardedge socket to 50 pin idc to connect to my DBIT 8inch drive adapter.I suspect that the cabling was a way to standardizing 1 and 2 drive installation, without having to resort to modifying the cables themselves. Note the jumper areas on the edge connectors. That being said, I've always used a single (flat, no twists) ribbon on my 8" 2-drive setups. Just set the DSx on each drive and you're done.
Linear power supplies are extremely reliable in general. Been around since they were "battery eliminators".
Generally, the idea of using 5.25" signals is to use the 5.25" signal names, with the exception that MOTOR ON should go to HEAD LOAD. Everything else should be pretty much the same. What you want to do with READY depends on the host side. Termination is the same (150 ohm pullup on one of the drives).Well Ive got some learning to do on 8" drive signalling.
