Looking for a Kalok IDE drive
by Jason Perkins 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

I’m looking for a working Kalok IDE drive. Yes, a stepper motor IDE. I believe the models KL-3100 and KL-343 are both IDE. I’d also entertain another stepper IDE drive. I already have a Seagate 157a and 351a. Why??? I’m looking for something to use with an IDE adapter on my Lisa, and want it to sound interesting. Thanks! -J -- Jason Perkins 313 355 0085 Sent from my iPhone

Andy's 2019 Clean out - more complete systems
by dillera＠gmail.com 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

Hello- I'm really trying to clean out my stuff and get rid of things that work but that I will never use. Some are of little value, and I've been bringing that stuff up and giving it away (a bunch is coming next Saturday). However I have a few systems (Mac, Amiga, Powebook etc) that are of some value and I want to see them go somewhere useful. But due to recent shipping hazards I'm not willing to ship them- so meeting in person at InfoAge is a great solution to this problem. I don't expect ebay crazy prices for them- just something fair. And I want to solve for some people finding out before others... therefore... What I've decided is to do a first-price sealed-bid auction - anyone interested should reply to me off-list. I'll send you a list of the stuff. You reply back with your bid. Friday I'll announce to the entire group who has won what. I'll bring the stuff to InfoAge. If you don't show up to claim it, it will go to the next bidder. If there are issues beyond that I'll get rid of it at InfoAge to someone, or do it again for the Feb Repair Day. thanks, -andy

(OT) Ride needed for Jan Workshop
by Joseph Oprysko 06 Jan '19

If there's anyone in the Philly/Willow Grove area (or passing through and wouldn't mind mind making a pit stop) I live literally 5 minutes from the Willow Grove PA turnpike exit and would like to be able to make it to the workshop. It's just very difficult for me to drive long distances due to medical issues and would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out. Thanks, Joseph Oprysko

Anyone ever adjust the yoke on a 1970’s Sony trinitron?
by corey cohen 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

So I have a 1974-75ish Sony KV-9200 color Trinitron TV and I need to rotate the yoke a little because the image is crooked. I removed the rubber wedges but the yoke won’t budge. I decided to walk away for a few hours and just took another look and I did just notice there is a small clamp on the end of the tube neck that could be loosened up, but before I do that I was wondering if that is what it’s intended for to hold the yoke in place against the rubber wedges? I don’t want to have to adjust the convergence so I haven’t loosed it yet just Incase that is wrong. I’m also worried because the neck is the most fragile part of the tube and don’t want to break it. This is all I have left to do on this TV. I replaced every electrolytic cap, adjusted b+, cleaned all the controls and refreshed the entire exterior. Any advise would be helpful.

About a dozen visitors today. Tony stopped by and showed me an idea for how we can demo more microcomputers without taking up more space. I did more work on the IA website between visitors. Updated the Linux software on our workshop PC. Jeff Brace is docent tomorrow.

WTD: daughter board for BocaRAM/AT
by Richard Cini 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

All – I just replaced an old Intel InBoard with a BocaRAM/AT (not the AT PLUS version) in my PC/AT “lab” machine. Would anyone happen to have the mezzanine/daughter card for the BocaRAM/AT, maybe from an otherwise non-working board? If so, please let me know off-list. Thanks!

SGI O2s
by Stephen A Edwards 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

I have a handful of SGI O2s and parts that I'd love to sell/trade to a good home (I'm in Manhattan). Feel free to contact me. W.r.t. the Sun 3/60 thread, I managed to set one up running SunOS 4.1 diskless off a modern Linux machine. It's not that difficult (basically configure DHCP, TFTP, and NFS, all of which live on in modern software) and solves the noisy SCSI drive problem.

Sun 3/60 lives again
by Mike Loewen 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

This has been on my TODO list for years, so it's a good way to start off the new year. I have a Sun 3/60 with 24MB and CG4 video which I've been meaning to set up as a diskless client from my Linux server. Until I get a keyboard adapter cobbled together for a Type 4 keyboard, I'm using a serial console. Diagnostics all check out from the PROM. There's a document floating around which describes one user's efforts to netboot his 3/60: http://sites.inka.de/pcde/help/sunos_network_boot.html I used that as a starting point, but it was written in 2004 so there are additional steps required. For one thing, bootparamd is no longer included in Fedora Linux (since FC25), so I had to make some changes to the FC24 SRPM for bootparamd to get it compiled and repackaged for FC28. Also, FC28 by default has NFS version 2 disabled so you have to change options in /etc/nfs.conf to enable UDP and version 2. Here's the console log of it booting SunOS 4.1.1: Mike Loewen mloewen(a)cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boot: le(0,0,0) Booting from tftp server at 192.168.202.1 = C0A8CA01 Downloaded 101800 bytes from tftp server.
