Hello all, . . . . For those of you who having not been following my trials and tribulations with a 16700A in another topic here is a partial update. I received this LA from a benefactor who has stepped forward. A real big thanks to him. I have run into that incompatibility problem with

Anyone have any info on the NEC D2167D-2?

Hi, all, I'm going through a box of random ICs and one particular item is not showing up on my searches outside of a couple eBay auctions for chip collectors. The IC is a 20-pin ceramic body with side brazed legs, gold pins, chromed lid, with NEC D2168D on it with "-2" painted on the ceramic and

I have been thinking about building a Cray 1 cabinet replica for use as storage and seating in my office/machine room, so I looked at the one at the LCM very closely during VCF PNW. They don't have much padding on the cushions. alan On 2/27/18 11:10 AM, Fred Cisin via cctalk wrote:

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

The more quotes I get regarding shipping, the more I'm thinking to just drive the 1300 miles (one way) and pick it up myself. I'd rather nothing bad happen to it, as insurance money can't replace the unit (easily). Any recommendations on finding a private carrier? It's in Colorado. Kyle

I had a computer item palletized and shipped by Air Freight ( it went by surface ). An open pallet will not have things intentionally stacked on it. It is possible to have something dropped on it or a forklift tine rammed through it but that is another issue. In my case, it worked out well but

Re: Shipping a Flexowriter

If you can guarantee nothing will end up placed on top, it should be fine strapped to a pallet. One thought would be to remove the feet and use the bolt holes to attach it to a square of plywood, then screw that to the pallet. Cinching a strap down over the top of it would probably not end well.

Does anyone have any tips on preparing a Flexowriter for shipping? Any thoughts as to crate vs. pallet? Thanks, Kyle

Last sun3 ask: In search of a SCSI controller (VME) for a 3/260

Folks, sorry for the Sun spam. Everything was working in my newly acquired 3/260, and the monitor is even starting to shape up. It was a gorgeous machine until I tried to use the SCSI bus on it. The controller is dead, very dead. No fuses or obvious things. No matter the device or chain...
